ISENTROPIC POTENTIAL VORTICITY ANALYSIS ON THE MESOSCALE CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT IN A TORRENTIAL RAIN PROCESS

The mesoscale model MM4 is used to simulate the torrential rain associated with Meiyu frontoccurring on 5—6 July.1991 in the Changjiang-Huaihe Basin.Based on the outputs of the model,the cause of the mesoscale cyclogenesis on the lower troposphere is investigated in terms of thepotential vorticity principle.The results show that because of the favorable pattern of moistisentropic surface,the absolute vorticity increases when cold air with high moist potential vorticityvalue rapidly slides down southwards along the moist isentropic surface,and then causes thecyclonic vortex development.     

热带西太平洋对风应力的斜压响应

发展了一个线性热带西太平洋两层模式,分别为混合层和温跃层,其密度、温度各不相同.利用这一模式分析了热带西太平洋对纬圈风应力的响应,求出西边界的解,以及解析地求得热带西太平洋温跃层厚度、洋流及海温分布.结果表明,热带西太平洋物理量的变异在El Nino/La Nina事件中起着重要作用,在温跃层中海温变化的振幅明显大于混合层,这从理论上支持了近年来的观测事实.     

The Geomagnetic Effects of Moderately Strong Earthquakes in Jiangsu Area

The total intensity of geomagnetic field(F)and its vertical component(Z)have been observed and tested for 14 years since 1979 in Jiangsu area.During the period 3 values,including the vertical component Z on 21h,the amplitude of diurnal variations of Z and the complex geomagnetic effects of "lowest-point displacement,have been obtained from 6 earthquakes with Ms≥4.6.These observations show that the geomagnetic complex anomalous variations do not appear when no moderately strong earthquakes occurs in this area.In this paper,the authors consider that it is possible to improve the results and actions of geomagnetic method for earthquake prediction with more intensive continuous recordings and geomagnetic multiparameter network by observing the vertical value Z,a main parameter to obtain geomagnetic anomaly in the middle-low latitude region.     

QUASI-BIENNIAL OSCILLATION IN RAINFALL OVER CHINA

Based on monthly rainfall data from 80 stations of China for the period of January 1951—February 1985analysed in terms of the maximum entropy spectrum and EEOF(extended empirical orthogonal function)techniques,the spatial and temporal features of quasi-biennial oscillation(QBO)in the rainfall are investigatedin a detailed manner,with some results of interest acquired.Highly evident is the QBO in rainfall over China,especially the mid and lower reaches of the ChangjiangRiver,the NE side of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,North China,the southern part of NE China,areas southof the Changjiang River and of the Nanling mountain region,and most of Xinjiang.The spatial wave described by the first and second eigenvectors of EEOF for eastern China is a type of wavetravelling from NE to SW,indicating the cycle of patterns(in the south to north direction):dryness(D)-wetness(W)-dryness(D)→southern W-northern slight D→W-D-W→southern D-northern slight W→D-W-D again,with the flooded region between the Changjiang and Huanghe Rivers for the D-W-D occurrenceand with the Changjiang River as the division for the southern W-northern slight D happening.The third andfourth eigenvectors show a standing wave-like feature for the same eastern part,indicating the cycle of D-W-D→transition→W-D-W→transition→D-W-D,again,where the transition means the generalweakening of drought and flooding and their subsequent reversal development.The amplitudes of the time coefficients of the first two eigenvectors are opposite in the trend of their changesto those of the next two and show a period of 10—14 years.     

清代方测雨器、方蒸发器由来考

本文前半部介绍我国清乾隆年间戴源所记方测雨器、方蒸发器的构造和作用,并对比介绍欧美方测雨器及方蒸发器的沿革。后半部主要探讨这些仪器外形方圆变化的原因。并对戴源仪器本身及《测圆图解》进行分析,进而证明这种仪器并非我国自创,却系耶稣会传教士由巴黎传入中国。但在我国气象仪器史中有着重要意义。     

大气长波辐射R-S5波段模式计算误差及其订正

在研究夜间边界层等问题的数值模式中,采用R-S5波段模式计算大气长波辐射时,如仅积分到边界层模式顶会使向下辐射和净辐射产生误差,且导致模式顶下的虚假强辐射降温。本文讨论了这种误差的来源,并提出了一种简单有效的订正方法。     

LAGRANGIAN METHOD USED IN THE RESEARCH OF ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION

Based on the conservation of entropy and potential vorticity in adiabatic atmospheric motion without theconsideration of friction,calculation is made of the trajectory of a particle on an isentropic surface by use ofthe data of FGGE III-b.Results of several calculation schemes of the trajectory discussed show that thelocal data interpolation and Runge-Kutta time-integral scheme is the best.The calculated trajectory reflectsthe large-scale atmospheric motion only and the small-scale motion emerges as a deviation term of thecalculated trajectory.And then the outbreak and propagation of planetary wave are studied by means ofthe deformation of a material line,with the result showing that the material line can be tracked in the trop-osphere only in a few days,beyond which the interaction between the small-scale waves and large-scale motionleads to its dramatical twisting and deformation.Therefore,the Lagrangian method is assumed to be an effectivemeans of diagnostic research in the nonlinear interaction in atmospheric circulation,in addition to the generalstudy of the atmospheric circulation.     

THE CALCULATION AND ANALYSIS OF SLOPE NET RADIATION IN CHINA

By using the climatological calculating method for each component of slope surface net radiation proposedby the authors,calculations and analyses are done of the distribution features of slope net radiation in Chinawith emphasis on the discussion of variations of slope net radiation in typical stations and sites with slope direc-tion,slope,latitude and season.The distribution features of net radiation on the north and south slopes are,for the first time,mapped and discussed,revealing the great difference on the national basis,and thus acquiringa new interesting result that the negative-value area of winter net radiation on the north slope(20°)can reachYunnan and Guizhou Provinces and middle and upper reaches of the Changjiang River.
