台风“麦莎”的强度对台风前部飑线发展过程影响的研究

对2005年8月5日16时(UTC,下同)至6日00时发生的一次台风前部飑线过程进行了数值模拟,分析表明:台前飑线在母体台风和副高之间的湿区生成。台风为这次台前飑线过程提供了有利的条件,包括强的低空急流输送充沛的水汽,强的不稳定环境产生大的对流有效位能以及强的地表辐合,使得初始的离散的对流单体组织发展形成台前飑线。成熟时期的台前飑线虽然比中纬度和热带飑线的变压强度小,但是具有更强的低层暖湿空气入流,中层的入流范围也更加宽广。敏感性试验结果表明:台风强度越强,其台前飑线的回波强度越强,移动速度更快,生命史也更长。强台风使得低空垂直风切变更大,有利于台前飑线的生成和发展,在台前飑线发展成熟后,低空垂直风切变强度减小,不利于台前飑线的维持,加之低空水汽输送的减少,使其逐渐趋向衰亡。     

热带大气中30～60天低频振荡的CISK-Rossby波理论

本文根据低纬热带大气中的风压场平衡关系对CISK-Rossby波进行了研究,指出对于弱对流加热,CISK-Rossby波既可以向东西方向传播,又可以向南北方向传播,并且这种弱对流加热所激发的CISK-Rossby波是一种稳定的减幅波;对于强对流加热,这种CISK-Rossby波减速并向东和向北传播,其传播特征与30～60天低频振荡的特征比较一致,并且这种CISK-Rossby波又是一种不稳定的增幅波,在10°N和17°N地区,经向波长为6000km的CISK-Rossby波的e倍增幅时间分别为6天和8天。因此,CISK-Rossby波可能是30～60天低频振荡的触发机制。     

The extent of desertification on Saudi Arabia

Desertification is the process that turns productive deserts into non-productive deserts as a result of poor land-management. Desertification reduces the ability of land to support life, affecting wild species, domestic animals, agricultural crops and humans. The reduction in plant cover that accompanies desertification leads to accelerated soil erosion by wind and water. South Africa is losing approximately 300–400 million tons of topsoil every year. As vegetation cover and soil layer are reduced, rain fall impact and run-off increases. This paper discusses the extent of desertification, its potential threat to sustained irrigated agriculture and possible measures adopted to control ongoing desertification processes to minimize the loss of agricultural productivity in an arid country such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.     

Probing the history of the Mathematician paleoplate using surface waves

This paper investigates the shear velocity structure under the northern East Pacific Rise at the latitude range of 9–18°N, using intermediate-period Rayleigh and Love waves. The selected ocean-bottom seismic records provide source–receiver paths that ideally constrain the lithospheric mantle structure beneath the southern Rivera plate and the Mathematician paleoplate. The Rayleigh wave data infer a relatively thin ( 30 km) lithosphere under the eastern side of the present-day East Pacific Rise. The associated shear velocities are consistent with existing models of oceanic mantle beneath this region, and the estimated plate age of 2–3 million years agrees with results from magnetic dating. The west of the rise axis is characterized by a thicker and faster lithosphere than the eastern flank, and such structural differences suggest the presence of a relatively old Mathematician paleoplate. The discontinuous change in mantle structure across the East Pacific Rise spreading center are observed in both isotropic and anisotropic velocities. The young oceanic lithosphere east of the rise axis shows strong polarization anisotropy, where the dominant orientation of crystallographic axes roughly parallels the spreading direction. However, the western flank of the rise axis is approximately isotropic, and the lack of anisotropy suggests complex deformation mechanisms associated with earlier episodes of ridge segmentation, propagation and dual-spreading on and around the Mathematician paleoplate.     

四种客观定量表征阻塞高压方法的对比分析

已有的阻塞高压客观定量化表征方法可归纳为距平方法、 T&M方法、 动力学方法和环流型方法四种。以2008年1月1日~2月2日中国持续性低温雨雪冰冻灾害期间的阻塞高压事件为例, 利用NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析等压面资料, 检验对比了上述四种方法的优点与缺点。结果表明, 每种方法都有其优点和局限性, 表明仅以某种标准或公式的客观方法实现对多种形态的阻塞高压的精确识别是极其困难的。同时还指出, 研究者和业务技术人员在了解各种阻塞高压客观表征方法的优、 缺点基础上, 针对具体需求选取适合的方法, 也可以结合实际情况予以改进, 都将可能获得更好的应用效果。     

2008年初云南低温雨雪冰冻天气的气候成因分析

2008年1月下旬~3月上旬云南出现了一次持续性的低温雨雪冰冻天气, 给交通、 电力、 通讯以及人民的生产、 生活带来了极大危害。本文首先对云南高低层大气的异常状况及大尺度环流背景场特征对这次天气过程的影响进行诊断分析, 然后进一步探讨了赤道东太平洋海温异常对东亚冬季风活动和云南天气气候异常的影响。结果表明, 这次低温冷害过程主要发生在冷空气由北至南逐渐加强南压, 南支西风波动配合, 以及西太平洋副热带高压减弱东退的大尺度环流背景之下。同时, 云南区域的大气异常状态表现出了明显的高湿、 强上升运动以及对流层中高层温度升高而低层温度降低。另外, 本文分析还进一步表明了2008年赤道东太平洋地区的冷海水异常对这次云南低温冷害天气过程的重要作用。     

一次α中尺度低涡暴雨的数值模拟

用WRF模式对2007年4月21—22日的一次中α低涡暴雨过程进行了高分辨率模拟,结果表明:(1)该低涡的产生与湖北西部的地形条件有一定的联系,低压倒槽系统为其提供了必要的环流背景,反演自FY-2 C卫星的TBB资料较好地反映了该中α低涡的整个活动过程。(2)对低涡发展最强阶段的动力和热力结构分析表明,低涡右侧为较强的上升运动,而其左侧则为下沉运动,在中低层冷空气上部有南侧暖湿空气上爬造成的次级上升运动;低涡左侧存在较明显的湿斜压锋区,后部则有明显的干冷气切入;南风风量对总体水汽输送的贡献要大于西风风量。(3)WRF模式中NOAH和热扩散陆面方案的对比分析表明,NOAH方案更加有利于低涡中心的发展,因此能够产生较热扩散方案更强的中心区降水,但是这种增强作用主要分布在低涡区附近,其他地区差别不大。     

Temperature-dependent photoabsorption cross-sections of cyanoacetylene and diacetylene in the mid- and vacuum-UV: Application to Titan's atmosphere

Cyanoacetylene (HC₃N) and diacetylene (C₄H₂) play an important role in the photochemistry of Titan's atmosphere, in part because of their strong absorption between 110 and 180 nm. Accurate photoabsorption cross-sections at temperatures representative of Titan's atmosphere are required to interprete Cassini observations and to calculate photolysis rates used in photochemical models. Using synchrotron radiation as a tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light source, we have measured absolute photoabsorption cross-sections of C₄H₂ and HC₃N with a spectral resolution of 0.05 nm in the region between 80 and 225 nm and at different temperatures between 173 and 295 K. The measured cross-sections are used to model transmission spectra of Titan atmosphere in the VUV.     

1979～2020年北极和青藏高原臭氧低值区的动力输送特征比较

基于ERA5月平均再分析资料,利用Lorenz环流分解方法从定常和瞬变以及基流和涡旋的角度对比了北极与青藏高原臭氧低值区的动力输送特征。结果表明：动力总输送在两地上平流层作用最强,均使其臭氧浓度降低,且定常输送均强于瞬变输送,纬向与经向输送的作用均大致相反。然而,动力输送在北极地区的作用强度远大于青藏高原地区。北极地区纬向输送使得平流层中上层臭氧浓度降低,平流层下层臭氧浓度升高,经向输送的作用与之相反且强度明显偏弱,二者均主要作用于上平流层。青藏高原地区纬向和经向输送除在上平流层均使得臭氧浓度降低外,二者作用大致相反且强度相当,输送大值区在垂直方向上存在双中心结构,分别位于上平流层与上对流层—下平流层（Upper Troposphere–Lower Stratosphere,简称UTLS）区。两地区纬向和经向输送的差异均主要由定常涡旋输送所造成。青藏高原地区定常与瞬变输送的强度差异没有北极地区大。此外,两地定常和瞬变输送中涡旋对臭氧纬向平均的输送均起到主要作用,体现出涡旋输送在两地臭氧浓度变化的动力输送过程中发挥着至关重要的作用。
