Employing the mesoscale WRF (Weather Research and Forecast) model, Super Typhoon
Saomai (2006) is simulated. The variation of track and intensity and its offshore rapid
intensification process are well demonstrated by the model, and the temperature and humidity
patterns associated with the dry cold air activity and their impact on and mechanism of the
offshore rapid intensification of Saomai are mainly studied in this paper. The results
indicate that high-resolution water vapor imagery can visually reveal the development,
evolution, interaction as well as the mutual complementation of the dry cold air activity
accompanied with the development of Saomai. The offshore rapid intensification phenomenon of
Saomai is closely related to the dry cold air which originates from the upper- and mid-
troposphere. Besides, the dry cold air from the upper troposphere is stronger than that from
the mid-troposphere. Saomai intensifies as the dry cold air from the northwest moves toward
its circulation but weakens when the dry cold air from the southwest is drawn into the storm.
Dry cold airflows and their cold advection effect caused by the downward motion across the
isentropic surface are favorable to the development of Saomai. The dry cold air always moves
along an isentropic surface from the upper troposphere to the mid-troposphere around the
typhoon circulation and contributes to Saomai’s abrupt intensity change. 相似文献
The parameterization of gravity wave drag induced by sub-grid scale orography(GWDO), which has been used in the regional model based on the Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System for Tropical Mesoscale Model(GRAPES_TMM), is extended to include the effect of mountain flow blocking drag(MBD). The extended scheme is evaluated against non-GWDO parameterization, including a cold air outbreak over southern China and a monthly verification in February 2012. The experiment results show that the GWDO and MBD parameterization both improves the forecasting of the cold air outbreaks over southern China, as well as alleviations of system bias of GRAPES_TMM.(1) The extended scheme alleviates the strong southerly wind and high surface temperature simulation during the cold air outbreak, especially over northern Guangxi and Guangdong(NGG) province, where local high surface temperature simulation reduces nearly 5 degree.(2) The MBD parameterization improves southerly wind simulations over NGG, as well as surface temperature forecasts improvement over Guangxi, Guizhou province and southern Yunnan-Guizhou plateau(YUP), and low level southerly wind simulation improvement over intertidal zone over south China.(3) The formation of MBD is mainly in the mountain area(Wuyi, Daba mountain, east of YUP) and coastal area. The MBD over plateau, which is mainly formed at the west of 105°E, is stronger and thicker than that over Nanling mountain.(4) The improvement of GWDO and MBD parameterization is stable in model physics. MBD parameterization demonstrates more overall improvements in the forecasts than GWDO, and the larger of the model forecast error is, the greater improvements of MBD contribute to. Overall, the extended GWDO scheme successfully improves the simulations of meteorological elements forecasting during cold air outbreaks. 相似文献
