中法联合考察黄河口海域顺利完成

经教育部批准,中国山东海洋学院和法国科研中心海陆作用委员会联合考察黄河口海域的工作自5月2日正式开始后,海上调查工作已顺利结束。法国方面以马尔丹博士为首的六人科学家小组还将于5月13日赴垦利县黄河段采集水样,以全面进行河口化学的研究工作。     

非线性CISK模型台风发展的多平衡态特征

取有基流、有热源强迫和耗散的非静力方程组,讨论了常定加热源下以及加热和上升运动为线性和非线性相互作用时扰动的平衡振幅。在两者为非线性相互作用时,得到了台风发展的多平衡态特征,并对台风强度突变的物理原因进行了初步的探讨。     

What controls early or late onset of tropical North Atlantic hurricane season?

The occurrence of first hurricane in early summer signifies the onset of an active Atlantic hurricane season. The interannual variation of this hurricane onset date is examined for the period 1979-2013. It is found that the onset date has a marked interannual variation. The standard deviation of the interannual variation of the onset day is 17.5 days, with the climatological mean onset happening on July 23.A diagnosis of tropical cyclone (TC) genesis potential index (GPI) indicates that the major difference between an early and a late onset group lies in the maximum potential intensity (MPI). A further diagnosis of the MPI shows that it is primarily controlled by the local SST anomaly (SSTA). Besides the SSTA, vertical shear and mid-tropospheric relative humidity anomalies also contribute significantly to the GPI difference between the early and late onset groups.It is found that the anomalous warm (cold) SST over the tropical Atlantic, while uncorrelated with the Niño3 index, persists from the preceding winter to concurrent summer in the early (late) onset group. The net surface heat flux anomaly always tends to damp the SSTA, which suggests that ocean dynamics may play a role in maintaining the SSTA in the tropical Atlantic. The SSTA pattern with a maximum center in northeastern tropical Atlantic appears responsible for generating the observed wind and moisture anomalies over the main TC development region. A further study is needed to understand the initiation mechanism of the SSTA in the Atlantic.     

两次触发MJO对流事件的物理过程对比研究

用OLR的逐日数据和2002—2003年ERA-Interim的逐日再分析数据集的多个变量q,T,u,v,ω,结合水汽收支分析和多尺度波流相互作用的方法研究了2002年冬季两支东传的MJO对流事件MJO1和MJO2被触发的物理过程发现,MJO1和MJO2的对流分别发生在2002年10月31日和12月8日,对流发生区域均在赤道印度洋,分别为10°S~10°N,50°~80°E和0°~10°N,50°~80°E。水汽距平的正异常和垂直上升运动超前于对流的发生时间,使得二者发生区域边界层的水汽增加,形成了有利于对流发生的上干下湿的对流不稳定条件。在对流发生的前3天,水平湿度平流的正贡献是二者发生区域内水汽增加的主要原因,是由MJO尺度的东风分量把发生区域东侧更大的背景场水汽分量输送到发生区域中的平流过程导致的;二者水汽增长过程的最大区别是MJO1中垂直湿度对流的正贡献几乎为零,MJO2中有较强的垂直湿度对流的正贡献,造成这一巨大差别的主要原因,是MJO2中边界层的MJO尺度的垂直上升运动比MJO1中更强。
