CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAVITY WAVE PROPAGATION AND ENERGY CONVERSION IN A SUDDEN HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT

In this paper, a sudden heavy rainfall event is analyzed, which occurred over the Yellow River midstream during 5–6 August 2014. We used observational, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, high-resolution satellite, and numerical simulation data. The main results are as follows. Under an unfavorable environmental circulation, inadequate water vapor and unfavorable dynamic conditions but sufficient energy, a local sudden heavy rainfall was caused by the release of strong unstable energy that was triggered by cold air transport into middle and lower layers and the propagation of gravity waves. The distributions of rain area, rain clusters, and 10-minute rainfall showed typical mesoscale and microscale fluctuation characteristics. In the mesoscale rain area or upstream, there was a quasi-stationary wave of mesoscale gravity waves with their propagation downstream. In the course of propagation from southwest to northeast, the wavelength became longer and the amplitude attenuated. In the various phases of gravity wave development, there were evident differences in the direction of the wave front. Wave energy was mainly in the lower layers. Unstable vertical wind shear at heights of 1–6 km provided fluctuation energy for the gravity waves. The mechanisms of heavy rainfall formation were different at Linyou and Hancheng stations. Diabatic heating was the main source of disturbed effective potential energy at Linyou. The explosive short-period strong precipitation was caused by the release of strong effective potential energy triggered by the gravity waves, and its development and propagation after that energy maximized. In contrast, the latent heat release of upstream precipitation was the main source of disturbed effective potential energy at Hancheng. This formed a positive feedback mechanism that produced continuous precipitation. In the studied event, the development of westerly belt systems had disturbed the wind field. The contribution of kinetic energy generated by this disturbance could not be ignored. The Froude number, mountain shape parameter, and ratio between mountain height and temperature inversion layer thickness had various effects of atmosphere and terrain on mesoscale and microscale mountain waves. In upper and lower layers, there were five airflows that were strengthened by the terrain. All these had important influences on local heavy rainfall at Linyou and Hancheng stations.     

The Combined Effect of Initial Error and Model Error on ENSO Prediction Uncertainty Generated by the Zebiak-Cane Model

Initial errors and model errors are the source of prediction errors. In this study, the authors compute the conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation （CNOP）-type initial errors and nonlinear forcing singular vector （NFSV）- type tendency errors of the Zebiak-Cane model with respect to El Nifio events and analyze their combined effect on the prediction errors for E1 Nino events. The CNOP- type initial error （NFSV-type tendency error） represents the initial errors （model errors） that have the largest effect on prediction uncertainties for E1 Nifio events under the perfect model （perfect initial conditions） scenario. How- ever, when the CNOP-type initial errors and the NFSV- type tendency errors are simultaneously considered in the model, the prediction errors caused by them are not am- plified as the authors expected. Specifically, the predic- tion errors caused by the combined mode of CNOP-type initial errors and NFSV-type tendency errors are a little larger than those caused by the NFSV-type tendency er- rors. This fact emphasizes a need to investigate the opti- mal combined mode of initial errors and tendency errors that cause the largest prediction error for E1 Nifio events.     

基于资源卫星图像对NDVI进行大气修正的一种简单方法

在遥感应用领域，植被指数己被广泛用来定性和定量表征植被覆盖度及其生长状况。由于大气变化的影响，使植被指数未能真实反映地表植被的真实分布状况，造成其应用的局限性。提出了一种简易方法，仅通过中巴资源卫星(CBERS：China Brazil Environment Resoure Satellite)图像的第3、第4波段中的水体，推算卫星接收到的大气程辐射，消除了大气对归一化植被指数(NDVI：Normalized Differece Vege—tation Index)的影响，减小植被指数所受的大气影响。应用结果表明，该方法能使植被指数较好地反映植被的生长及分布状况。     

“7·20” 华北和北京大暴雨过程的分析

本文对2016年7月19—21日华北及北京的特大暴雨作了研究和讨论。研究表明,该次暴雨为诸多有利因素所致:前期副热带高压呈带状稳定维持,中旬末东退,后呈"东高西低"分布,华北处于槽前辐合上升区,有利对流发生。高空西来槽停滞加深(并切断)与低层江淮暖性倒槽叠加,快速发生发展成为一深厚的气旋,出现了高低空系统的耦合。有一支暖(湿)输送带自南向北推进至关重要,源地可追踪至南中国海等低纬度地区,水汽通量辐合大值区先后经长江、黄淮至华北,有明显的中低纬度系统的相互作用。2016年的"7·20"暴雨和2012年"7·21"暴雨均存在明显的多尺度特征,但其具体特征有所不同。前者强烈对流活动稍弱于后者,降水趋势平稳,然而由于其大尺度强迫持续时间长,累积降水量仍然较大。本文主要集中于一些事实的分析,对于该次暴雨的机理尚需作进一步研究。     

云凝结核浓度对雷暴云电过程影响的数值模拟研究

本文将非感应起电机制耦合到WRF中尺度模式中,选取Morrison双参数微物理方案,采用整体放电参数化方案,改变初始云凝结核（CCN）浓度（浓度变化从500 cm-3到4000 cm-3）,共模拟15组试验,讨论了CCN浓度（n_CCN）对雷暴云起电强度的影响。通过研究发现:随n_CCN增加,霰粒子数浓度减少,混合比增加,导致霰粒子平均尺度增加;冰晶粒子数浓度增加,混合比基本不变,导致冰晶粒子平均尺度减小。此外,霰粒子平均尺度增大,下落末速度增大,冰晶粒子平均尺度减小,下落末速度减小,二者末速度差值增加,导致单次碰撞电荷分离量增加。综上所述,气溶胶浓度增加使霰粒子与冰晶粒子碰撞分离过程增强,单次碰撞电荷分离量增加,正负电荷密度平均值增加,从而增强雷暴起电强度。     

STRUCTURE FEATURES AND COMPOSITE ANALYSIS OF CONVECTIVE CELLS IN A WARM SECTOR HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT OVER SOUTHERN CHINA

This paper uses the ARW-WRF model to carry out a numerical simulation of a warm-sector heavy rainfall event over southern China on the 22–23 May, 2014. A composite analysis method was used to analyze the evolution process and structural features of the convective cells on a convection line during this rainfall event. This analysis identified three stages: (1) Stage of activation: the equivalent potential temperature surfaces as lower layers start to bulge and form warm cells and weak vertical convective cloud towers which are subject to the impact of low-level warm moist updrafts in the rainfall sector; (2) Stage of development: the warm cells continue to bulge and form warm air columns and the convective cloud towers develop upwards becoming stronger as they rise; (3) Stage of maturity: the warm air columns start to connect with the stable layer in the upper air; the convective cloud tower will bend and tilt westward with each increasing in height, and the convection cell is characterized by a “crescent-shaped echo” above the 700hPa plane. During this stage the internal temperature of the cell is higher than the ambient temperature and the dynamic structural field is manifested as intensive vertical upward movement. The large-value centers of the northerly and westerly winds in the middle layer correspond to the warm moist center in the cells and the relatively cold center south of the warm air column. Further analysis shows that the formation of the “crescent-shaped” convective cell is associated with horizontal vorticity. Horizontal vorticity in the center and west of the warm cell experiences stronger cyclonic and anticyclonic shear transformation over time; this not only causes the original suborbicular cell echo shape to develop into a crescent-like shape, but also makes a convection line consisting of cells that develop to the northwest.
