On the cool skin of the ocean

Previous data relating sea-surface temperature to heat flux across the air-sea interface were reanalyzed with a common formula for the wind-stress coefficient. An expression is proposed for the nondimensional thickness of the thermal sublayer: the expression increases with wind velocity at light winds and has a value of 7 when the wind velocity reaches 7 m s^–1.     

浙江冰雹天气与边界层辐合的关系

通过七次冰雹天气过程的分析,发现浙江地区大范围降雹过程之前,对流层中下层并不一定有大尺度辐合和上升运动,而是与边界层辐合却有着十分密切的关系.降雹前,边界层中都有辐合线存在,与此相应,有较强的质量和水汽通量辐合.无辐合线,则无大范围的冰雹天气发生.冰雹区的水汽通量散度垂直分布有明显特点,水汽辐合多集中于边界层内,辐合最大值在950百帕附近,850百帕以上辐合很小,甚至是辐散.还发现边界层辐合的强度与冷锋位置有关.     

The Application of Elastic Wave Measurement to the Deep Holes in the Bedrock of a Nuclear Power Station

In this paper we present the principle and technique for measuring velocity of elastic waves in the bedrock with deep holes, and the effective watertight and pressure-proof measures taken. Using this method, the measurement in the bedrock of the reactor of a nuclear power station with holes (120m in depth) are completed with the anticipated results. The data, processed and analysed, have been provided for the construction of the above-mentioned nuclear power station.     

THE ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON AND ITS RELATIONS TO THE RAINFALL IN CHINA

In this paper, four problems are discussed: (1) the monsoon circulation over southern Asia; (2) the seasonal variation of the general circulation of the atmosphere; (3) the influence of the monsoon on the rainfall in southwestern China; and (4) the source region of water vapor for the rainfall in the Changjiang valley.     

Numerical simulation of the development of vortices over the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau

Summary Some of the vortices which develop over the Tibetan plateau during summer give rise to severe weather over eastern China. These weather developments can be difficult to forecast, but have been simulated successfully in a recently developed numerical model. It will be shown that different vortices respond differently to topographic effects, to nonlinear processes and to sensible and latent heating in their formation, maintenance, and motion. Elevated terrain appears to enhance the influence of thermodynamic processes, block airflow, and increase frictional dissipation.Sensible heating sometimes collaborates with topography in blocking cold air intrusions and is not only a function of terrain elevation but also of the synoptic situation. Without the input of latent heating, vortices over the eastern part of the Tibetan plateau tend to degenerate.

Numerische Simulation von Wirbelbildungen über dem Hochland von Tibet

Zusammenfassung Einige der sich im Sommer über dem Hochland von Tibet entwickelnden Wirbel verursachen Unwetter in Ostchina. Die Vorhersage dieser Entwicklung kann schwierig sein, sie werden aber von einem kürzlich vorgestellten numerischen Modell erfolgreich simuliert. Es wird gezeigt, daß verschiedene Wirbel verschieden auf die Orographie, auf nichtlineare Vorgänge sowie auf fühlbare und latente Wärme in ihrer Entstehung, Erhaltung und Bewegung reagieren. Ein Hochland scheint den Einfluß thermodynamischer Vorgänge zu verstärken, Strömungen zu blockieren und die Reibungsdissipation zu steigern.Die fühlbare Wärme verhindert manchmal gemeinsam mit der Topographie Kaltlufteinbrüche, hängt aber nicht nur von der Hochland-sondern auch von der synoptischen Situation ab. Ohne latente Wärme neigen Wirbel über dem Ostteil des Hochlandes von Tibet zur Degeneration.

夏季对流云初期回波与降水之间的关系

1979—1981年6和7月份在安徽屯溪机场,用711雷达对对流云初期回波及其发展过程进行了观测。资料分析表明:(1)对流云的初期回波绝大多数是在云的暖区形成的,因此,屯溪地区夏季对流云中暖云过程对降水形成起重要作用.(2)用回波顶升速、回波顶高和强度为35dbz回波的厚度、初期回波中心高度变化情况可以定性估计积云降水的强弱.

1981年6—7月安徽省屯溪地区巨盐核观测的结果表明:1.直径2微米左右的巨盐核可能对屯溪夏季积状云中一些初始大云滴的形成起重要作用;2.屯溪地区的巨盐核主要源地是海洋,该地的巨盐核浓度与风向、风速以及天气背景密切相关.     

Numerical study of lake-land breeze over lake vättern Sweden

This paper describes a two-dimensional lake breeze model with turbulent energy closure. The simulated results show that (1) the front of the lake breeze progresses inland faster in the late afternoon than at the fully developed stage; and (2) the lake breeze and land breeze have larger extension offshore than inland. The acce-leration of the front in the declining phase of the lake breeze is explained in terms of the decreased turbulent fric-tion acting on the head of the lake breeze. The larger extension offshore, probably, is attributed to the smaller roughness of water surface and to the offshore synoptic wind.     

Design and test of an improved scheme for global spectral model with reduced truncation error

An improved scheme of spectral model has been investigated in this paper. Through the introduction of a reference atmosphere, prognostic variables become smoother on the tilled sigma-surface over mountains or a frontal zone, and thus truncation errors are reduced. As a result, the problems about Gibbs waves and negative value of model topography on the sea, which are encountered in the current spectral model in the world, can be solved by the improved scheme. For comparison we have performed the numerical integrations of barotropic and baroclinic Rossby-Haurwitz waves, as well as the prediction of real cases with the improved scheme and the current scheme of spectral model. These results show that the scheme presented in the paper is better than the current scheme of spectral model.
