Observational Zonal Mean Flow Anomalies: Vacillation or Poleward Propagation?

North-south displacements and meridional vacillations of the eddy-driven jet are widely accepted as the dominant cause of variability of the observational zonal-mean zonal wind anomalies(denoted [u]’).In this study,a new idea regarding the primary variability of the observational [u]’ in the middle latitude troposphere is presented.It is hypothesized that there are two different classes of primary variability of the observational [u]’:the poleward propagation of the [u]’(abbreviated as PP) and meridional vacillations.To validate this hypothesis,one-point correlation maps of [u]’ at 200-hPa during the boreal cold season(November-April) of every year from 1957-2002 are used as a criterion.Twelve PP years,in which the PP events are dominant in the variability of [u]’,and 15 no_PP years,in which the PP events are recessive and the meridional vacillations are dominant in the variability of [u]’,are examined.The results show that the variabilities of [u]’ are different in the chosen PP and no_PP years.In the PP years,the PP events dominate the variability of [u]’;however,the meridional vacillations are prevalent in the no_PP years.     

黄土高原大孔径闪烁仪观测特征量T*的研究

基于黄土高原定西站2009年9月大孔L径闪烁仪(LAS)的观测数据,结合涡动相关系统(EC)和梯度塔的同步观测资料,分析了LAS和EC在测量感热通量过程中的温度特征尺度T*及其差异与近地层气象要素风向、位温梯度和稳定度等的关系.结果表明,黄土高原下垫面LAS测量的T*LAS和EC测量的T*EC有很好的相关性,相关系数达到0.955,拟合的线性趋势系数是1.482.对9月进行风向统计,主风向为NNE和SE,NNE风向上T*LAS和T*EC的相关系数是0.960,拟合的线性趋势系数是1.349,SE风向上T* LAS和T*EC的相关系数是0.968,拟合的线性趋势系数是1.619,风向对T*有显著影响.位温梯度与T*呈很好的线性相关关系,T*LAS相较于T*EC与位温梯度有更好的相关性.当稳定度z/L＜1.5时,T*LAS/T*EC随着z/L的增大雨减小;当z/L＞1.5时,T*LAS/T*EC随着z/L的增大而增大.T* LAS/T*EC的变化范围随着z/L的增大逐渐变小,当z/L增大到4后,T*LAS/T*EC开始保持较小的变化范围.     

Transition of Zonal Asymmetry of the Arctic Oscillation and the Antarctic Oscillation at the End of 1970s

In this study,the interdecadal changes in the zonal symmetry of both Arctic Oscillation(AO) and Antarctic Oscillation(AAO) were analyzed.To describe the zonal asymmetry,a local index of AO and AAO was defined using the normalized sea level pressure(SLP) differences between 40° and 65°(latitudes) in both hemispheres.The zonal covariability of local AO and AAO can well represent the zonal symmetry of AO and AAO.Results show that the zonal asymmetry of both AO and AAO significantly changed in the late 1970s.AO was less asymmetric in the zonal direction in the boreal winter season during the latter period,while in the boreal summer it became more asymmetric after 1979.The zonal symmetry of AAO in both austral summer and winter has also significantly decreased since the late 1970s.These changes may imply interdecadal transition in the atmospheric circulation at middle and high latitudes,which is of vital importance to understanding climate variability and predictability across the globe,including the African-Asian-Australian monsoon regions.     

Zonal Model of Starspots. Application to RS CVn Systems

Model results on starspots in 15 chromospherically active type RS CVn binary systems are presented. The dependences of the parameters of the spots on the principal characteristics of the stars (spectral class, luminosity class, rotation, Rossby number) are examined. Latitudinal drift of the spots, cycles in the spot activity, and differential rotation are found in 9 of the stars. __________ Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 48, No. 4, pp. 535–552 (November 2005).

洛宁铁炉坪银铅矿床围岩蚀变分带特征

本文通过对铁炉坪银、铅矿床围岩蚀变的研究，划分出６种基本蚀变类型，３种蚀变带。各蚀变带以矿体为中心对称分布，各带之间呈渐变过渡关系。并指出由蚀变作用引起围岩化学成分及微量元素含量的变化，岩石化学成分与矿物成分变化相一致，成矿与围岩蚀变相辅相成。还指出了围岩蚀变的找矿意义。     

Zonal propagation of kinetic energy and convection in the South China Sea and Indian monsoon regions in boreal summer

As early as in the 1980s, Chinese scientists hadfirst proposed that there exits two summer monsoonsystems in Asia, namely the East Asian summer mon-soon (EASM) and the Indian summer monsoon(ISM)[1-4]. The two monsoon systems are quite dif-ferent in characteristics. Since then, such issue andconclusion had been documented and approved by alot of studies in the past two decades, and was appliedin the guideline of the South China Sea summer mon-soon experiment (SCSMEX), which was undertak…     

中国不同气候区域Hargreaves模型的修正

在计算参考作物蒸散量的模型中,FAO Penman-Monteith模型计算准确但需要气象参量过多,而Hargreaves模型只需要气温数据却无法保证较高的准确性。为了提高Hargreaves模型在中国不同气候类型条件下的适用性,以FAO Penman-Monteith模拟值为参考,建立了Hargreaves模型的修正系数。CLIMWAT数据库中156个站点的应用表明,修正前R2、RMSE分别为88.1%、3.803mm/d,修正后分别为97.3%、0.233mm/d;北京站多年的应用表明,修正前R2、RMSE分别为94.4%、4.861mm/d,修正后分别为97.2%、0.442mm/d。在此基础上,利用GIS分区运算工具建立了中国不同气候区域的修正系数表。研究结果有助于提高常规气象观测条件下(无风速、辐射观测)不同气候区域参考作物蒸散量的估算精度。     

人工影响天气后下游地面湿度响应分析探讨

2008年8月8日下午到夜间,针对北京地区西北部、西部和西南部强对流天气进行了人工影响天气作业。为了解大规模进行人工影响天气作业后下游地区地面湿度的变化情况,文章结合空中天气形势,利用北京城区和郊区215个自动站及非自动站资料进行降水分布研究,重点利用其有湿度记录的108个站资料,对大规模人工影响后的地面湿度变化结合同期降水资料进行分析,以期为今后大规模的人工影响天气提供实验依据。结果表明,2008年8月8日夜间北京地区引导气流为西南东北向,天气系统基本沿西南—东北向移动,18：00—00：00的6小时累计降水量,呈东北西南向带状分布,北京城区处在降水量比较少的＂豁口＂处,＂鸟巢＂无降水。人工影响天气部门在北京地区西南部进行大规人工模影响强对流天气作业。作业后,在大规模人工影响作业区下风方带状范围内,地面水汽压随时间具有明显的突变（地面水汽压突然减小,持续时间大致在25分钟左右）,且这种突变从由西南向东北减弱,突变开始的时间逐渐推后。在带状中心轴线附近这种突变比较明显,远离中心轴线这种突变减弱,开始突变的时间也推后;而在带状范围外,则没有这种现象。究其原因,主要由于大规模发射火箭弹进行作业,一是火箭弹尾喷的播撒作用,二是尾喷激起的强大扰动作用,有利于大的雨滴降落,或迅速长大后降落,形成下沉气流,下沉气流将高层的干冷空气带到低层引起地面水汽压减小;此下沉气流沿着引导气流向下游传播,在传播过程中逐渐衰减。进一步分析2008年8月8日20时500 hPa风,根据此高度风速大小估算大规模作业区距离分析地面水汽压发生较大变化测站的时间,发现测站地面水汽压的发生较大变化时间与由上游空气柱移来的时间比较一致。
