孟加拉湾季风爆发对南海季风爆发的影响Ⅰ:个例分析

利用南海季风试验分析场和NCAR向外长波辐射通量(OLR)资料研究了1998年孟加拉湾季风和南海季风爆发期间副热带环流的大尺度和天气尺度特征,探讨了孟加拉湾季风爆发与南海季风爆发之间的物理联系及孟加拉湾季风气旋的对流凝结潜热释放对副热带高压“撤出”南海的影响。结果表明,1998年5月爆发的东亚季风展现出典型的从孟加拉湾地区东传发展到南海地区的过程。随着孟加拉湾季风爆发和对流活动增强、北移,南海北部出现了低层西风和对流活动,领先于副热带高压在南海地区减弱和撤退。结果还显示南海北部地区的对流凝结加热有助于该地区经向温度梯度的反转,在热成风关系的制约下南海上空副热带高压脊面的垂直倾斜由冬季型转向夏季型,季风爆发。     

青藏高原加热对东亚地区夏季降水的影响

东亚地区降水主要集中在夏季,是亚洲夏季风系统的重要特征.本文利用NCEP再分析资料和CRU的降水资料,分析了青藏高原非绝热加热对东亚夏季降水的影响.结果表明,东亚地区夏季降水的分布形势与青藏高原非绝热加热变化有很好的相关关系.由于高原非绝热加热可在亚洲东部沿海地区强迫出类似Rossby波列的大气环流低频振荡结构,而此低频波可以影响到西太平洋副热带高压的形态和位置变化,从而使得东亚夏季降水的形势发生变化.而青藏高原非绝热加热的形态从春季到夏季有很好的持续性,春季高原加热与夏季东亚的降水形势分布也有很好的相关.本研究中采用的青藏高原非绝热加热指数可作为东亚夏季降水预测的一个指标,亚洲季风降水不仅受赤道太平洋海温的影响,青藏高原地区的非绝热加热对其也有显著的影响作用.     

北半球阻塞高压的维持Ⅱ:瞬变扰动强迫和平均流位涡平流的形成

着重探讨大西洋阻高和东亚阻高个例中瞬变扰动位涡（涡度）输送强迫和太平洋阻高中平均流位涡平流的形成机理。结果表明，扰动在阻高西南部西风分流区因形变而产生的扰动拟能向更小尺度串级过程，并不是扰动位涡输送强迫形成的必要机理。扰－流相互作用在阻高西（北）部非分流气流中也十分显著。数值试验表明，这一相互作用也可能是扰动强迫作用形成的机理。而青藏高原和附近海陆对比的强迫作用则可能是太平洋阻高中平均流的位涡平流形成的重要因素。对比分析表明，阻高维持机制的地域性差别可能与其上游（如青藏高原地区、落基山脉）地形和热源强迫作用不同有关。     

大气的内外强迫源和西风指数的变化

通过波流相互作用和无加速定理的讨论以及相应的数值分析,本文介绍有关纬向平均西风变化的近期研究成果。指出西风指数随时问变化的主动原因是波动和基本气流的相互作用以及外部动量源和热源的强迫作用;其被动原因是内外源所激发的次级环流的影响。还讨论了用简化的动力模型进行西风指数长期预报的可行性问题。     

热带和热带外海表温度异常与低空环流特征比较

利用旋转主分量方法（ＲＰＣ），在对西太平洋和印度洋１９８０年１月至１９８８年９月共１０５个月的月平均海表温度（ＳＳＴ）进行分析的基础上，提取热带模及高纬模两种ＳＳＴ异常（ＳＳＴＡ）分布。再通过分析同期８５０ｈＰａ，各气象要素在该两模上的投影，比较低层大气与不同纬度上ＳＳＴＡ相联系的异常特征。结果表明，无论是热带还是热带外地区，暖性ＳＳＴＡ上空均有正的水汽异常及平均流场对月平均水汽输送的异常辐合。两地区ＳＳＴＡ上空８５０ｈＰａ月平均异常的最重要差异表现在流场、高度场及温度场上。热带正ＳＳＴＡ上方８５０ｈＰａ位势高度及温度均为负距平，流场呈Ｇｉｌｌ型的气旋式异常环流。热带外正ＳＳＴＡ上方８５０ｈＰａ高度及温度均为正距平，流场则呈反气旋式异常环流。分析表明，高纬度的这种异常特征主要是由于中高纬度大气的地转性和斜压性较强所致。     

Recent Progress in the Impact of the Tibetan Plateau on Climate in China

Studies of the impacts of the Tibetan Plateau （TP） on climate in China in the last four years are reviewed. It is reported that temperature and precipitation over the TP have increased during recent decades. From satellite data analysis, it is demonstrated that most of the precipitation over the TP is from deep convection clouds. Moreover, the huge TP mechanical forcing and extraordinary elevated thermal forcing impose remarkable impacts upon local circulation and global climate. In winter and spring, stream flow is deflected by a large obstacle and appears as an asymmetric dipole, making East Asia much colder than mid Asia in winter and forming persistent rainfall in late winter and early spring over South China. In late spring, TP heating contributes to the establishment and intensification of the South Asian high and the abrupt seasonal transition of the surrounding circulations. In summer, TP heating in conjunction with the TP air pump cause the deviating stream field to resemble a cyclonic spiral, converging towards and rising over the TP. Therefore, the prominent Asian monsoon climate over East Asia and the dry climate over mid Asia in summer are forced by both TP local forcing and Eurasian continental forcing.
Due to the longer memory of snow and soil moisture, the TP thermal status both in summer and in late winter and spring can influence the variation of Eastern Asian summer rainfall. A combined index using both snow cover over the TP and the ENSO index in winter shows a better seasonal forecast.
On the other hand, strong sensible heating over the Tibetan Plateau in spring contributes significantly to anchor the earliest Asian monsoon being over the eastern Bay of Bengal （BOB） and the western Indochina peninsula. Qualitative prediction of the BOB monsoon onset was attempted by using the sign of meridional temperature gradient in March in the upper troposphere, or at 400 hPa over the TP. It is also demonstrated by a numerical experiment and theoretical study that the heating over the TP lea     

ECMWF预报模式在不同地形方案下的系统误差检验

Wallace等的研究表明,由于引进了包络地形方案,欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)的中期天气预报有所改善。本文是上述工作的继续。所用的资料为原作者的数值试验结果。检验的对象包括纬向平均风场、温度场和经圈环流,及不同波数域中的涡旋和经圈环流对角动量的平均经向输送。结果表明,在冬季,包络地形方案对低纬地区的温度场和风场的预报略有改进,对总涡旋动量通量的模拟也较好。然而对天气尺度系统的预报和对热带对流及积云摩擦的参数化却有待更进一步改善。     

Cloud radiative forcing in Asian monsoon region simulated by IPCC AR4 AMIP models

This study examines cloud radiative forcing (CRF) in the Asian monsoon region (0^o--50^oN,60^o--150^oE) simulated by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) AMIP models. During boreal winter, no model realistically reproduces the larger long-wave cloud radiative forcing (LWCF) over the Tibet Plateau (TP) and only a couple of models reasonably capture the larger short-wave CRF (SWCF) to the east of the TP. During boreal summer, there are larger biases for central location and intensity of simulated CRF in active convective regions. The CRF biases are closely related to the rainfall biases in the models. Quantitative analysis further indicates that the correlation between simulated CRF and observations are not high, and that the biases and diversity in SWCF are larger than that in LWCF. The annual cycle of simulated CRF over East Asia (0^o--50^oN, 100^o--145^oE) is also examined. Though many models capture the basic annual cycle in tropics, strong LWCF and SWCF to the east of the TP beginning in early spring are underestimated by most models. As a whole, GFDL-CM2.1, MPI-ECHAM5, UKMO-HadGAM1, and MIROC3.2 (medres) perform well for CRF simulation in the Asian monsoon region, and the multi-model ensemble (MME) has improved results over the individual simulations. It is suggested that strengthening the physical parameterizations involved over the TP, and improving cumulus convection processes and model experiment design are crucial to CRF simulation in the Asian monsoon region.     

平均经圈环流在大气角动量和感热收支中的作用

本文研究相对座标系中近地表角动量的制造和自由大气中角动量的辐散之间的平衡机制,并与绝对参考系中的机制进行比较。 对1982年元月全球角动量和感热的收支分析证明,被激发的平均经圈环流具有下述特征:其下部水平支施加于大气的惯性矩与近地表角动量的制造相平衡,上部水平支反号的惯性矩与涡动角动量通量的辐合(散)相平衡;而其垂直支的绝热加热效应则平衡着自由大气中热通量的辐散和/或大气的非绝热加热。因而,无论动力上还是热力上,平均经圈环流在大气总环流中都起着重要的作用。     

南亚海陆热力差异及其对热带季风区环流的影响

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析了亚洲热带季风区海陆分布所造成的热力差异,以及空间非均匀加热对热带季风区环流特别是初夏过渡季节环流的影响.在大尺度环流背景下,次大陆地形对亚洲热带地区环流的影响主要表现在对低层环流的热力作用,其中感热加热对冬、春季环流的影响明显,对秋季环流的作用相对较小.中南半岛和印度半岛之间的热力差异及其对环流的影响受到青藏高原的调配作用.在初夏过渡季节,高原热力强迫作用于低纬低层环流,使低纬约90 (E以东出现南风加强、以西出现北风加强,从而增强了中南半岛上空的潜热加热,减弱了其低层的感热加热,印度半岛地区还加强了低层的感热加热.多尺度、各种性质的加热共同作用于低纬大气,形成了亚洲热带地区独有的环流特征.
