陆面气温资料的一种推广三维变分同化方法及其在简化情形的检验

发展了一种同化窗口为1个月的陆面气温推广三维变分资料同化方法,并建立了逐日资料到月平均资料的观测算子.作为对该同化方法的初步检验,以2000年1月中国陆地区域时间分辨率低、空间分辨率较高且在高原地区与台站观测资料比较接近的CRU(Climate Research Unit)月平均陆面气温资料作为观测,以时间分辨率高、空间分辨率较低且在高原地区与台站资料有较大误差的NCEP逐日气温资料作为背景场,采用背景误差协方差矩阵(简称B矩阵)的两种简化对角形式进行同化试验,得到高时空分辨率的格点陆面气温分析场,并进行对比分析和均方根误差检验.结果显示,由两种简化形式得到的逐日资料和月平均资料的质量均得到改善,在我国东南和中部大部分地区与台站观测基本一致,在青藏高原、新疆等台站稀疏地区与地形对应良好,为M-SDGVM模型或其他陆面过程模式高质量陆面气象驱动场的准备提供了一种新的手段.尤其在B矩阵中考虑了方差逐日变化的简化形式所得到的分析场整体上要优于不考虑的,这为最终在B矩阵中考虑协方差(即对推广三维变分同化不作简化)进一步改进同化效果打下了基础.     

全边界层选用相似理论对O3、NOx浓度及沉降的影响

将广泛应用于东亚地区的LLA(Lurmann Lloyd Atkinson)化学机制耦合到欧拉型区域空气质量模式(RAQM),并考虑区域污染物长期模拟研究中降水随时间变化的非均匀性,讨论了湍流参数化过程中相似理论在近地层和全边界层的应用对湍流垂直扩散系数(Kz)与干沉降速度(V),O3与NOx浓度的影响。结果表明,全边界层应用相似理论明显低估了Kz值,近地层50m处Kz值被低估20%以上,750m处其值被低估约70%;O3、NOx的干沉降速度在日本东部与南部海域被低估了10%以上,在朝鲜半岛东部和西部海域模拟值普遍偏高。Kz和干沉降速度的不同直接影响污染物的浓度和沉降量分布。Kz值的被低估对NOx浓度有明显影响,在近地层50m处NOx浓度最大可增加约30%,整个边界层中NOx平均浓度除台湾省东北海域外普遍增加5%~20%。O3浓度则受干沉降作用的影响较大。虽然近地层、全边界层分别应用相似理论都较好地模拟了O3与NOx峰值浓度出现的时间,但相似理论应用于全边界层会引起较大的误差。即使是大区域、长期空气质量模拟研究,也建议相似理论仅应用于近地层,且模式第一层高度应设置在常通量层内。     

RegCM3模式对青藏高原温度和降水的模拟及检验

为了检验RegCM3区域气候模式对青藏高原地区的模拟能力,利用NCEP再分析资料和观测站点资料,采用三种不同的对流参数化方案,对青藏高原地区2006年夏季进行了模拟分析,并重点对温度和降水进行了细致的检验。结果表明：模式能较好地再现青藏高原地区大尺度的环流特征,具有对青藏高原地区的温度和降水分布特征的模拟能力;对于量值的模拟,三种对流参数化方案均模拟出了与实况温度一致的变化趋势,但均存在5~6 ℃的冷偏差;Grell方案模拟的降水量均大于实况,Kuo-Anthes方案对于高原地区的降水量的模拟较为接近于实况,但模式对降水量的模拟能力仍有待进一步提高。     

Sensitivity of the DRP-4DVar Performance to Perturbation Samples Obtained by Two Different Methods

The dimension-reduced projection four-dimensional variational data assimilation (DRP-4DVar) approach utilizes the ensemble of historical forecasts to estimate the background error covariance (BEC) and directly obtains the analysis in the ensemble space.As a result,the quality of ensemble members significantly affects the DRP-4DVar performance.The historical-forecast-based initial perturbation samples are flow-dependent and can describe the error-growth pattern of the atmospheric model and the balanced relat...

一次冷锋过境后的海风三维结构数值模拟

为研究大尺度系统风对海风的影响以及海风三维结构特征,利用山东省123个地面自动站资料、青岛地区三十多个内陆及沿海、海岛观测站以及奥帆赛场3个浮标站资料,对2006年8月21日青岛一次海风个例进行了分析,并利用美国俄克拉荷马大学风暴分析预测中心开发的ARPS(the Advanced Regional Prediction System)模式,对海风过程进行了数值模拟研究。结果发现:在较强的离岸风背景下,当内陆气温高于海面气温2℃左右时,海风也可以发生。海风首先在海岸线附近的海上开始,发展的同时向内陆及远海地区推进。海风低层环流很浅,主要位于500 m以下。在较强的偏北离岸风下,海风向内陆推进的距离很短。偏北的大尺度系统风由于渤海冷下垫面的影响,不利于青岛海风的维持。海风开始时,在1500～2500 m高度处同时有反环流出现,但直到傍晚前后,海风的垂直环流圈才发展得比较清晰,其高度也更接近地面。海风消亡后,高层的垂直环流圈及反环流维持3 h左右才逐渐消亡。     

Study of Methods for Three-Dimensional Multiple-Radar Reflectivity Mosaics

This paper investigated several approaches to remapping and combining multiple-radar reflectivity fields onto a unified 3D Cartesian grid with high spatial and temporal resolutions,and analyzed systematic ob servation differences among multiple radars.The remapping approaches were evaluated by inspecting the spatial consistency of the reflectivity fields on vertical and horizontal cross sections on the equidistant line of radars,and the intensity change of 1-h accumulated precipitation before and after interpolation.The com bining approaches were evaluated by continuity examination.The results show that for remapping schemes,the vertical interpolation with nearest neighbor on the range-azimuth plane is the most reasonable scheme that provides consecutive reflectivity fields and retains the high-resolution structure comparable to that of the raw data;for multiple-radar data mosaics,the distance-exponential-weighted mean scheme provides spatially consistent reflectivity mosaics.The mosaics call mitigate various problems caused by the radar beam geometry such as the cone of silence.     

Prediction Research of Climate Change Trends over North China in the Future 30 Years

A simulation of climate change trends over North China in the past 50 years and future 30 years was performed with the actual greenhouse gas concentration and IPCC SRES B2 scenario concentration by IAP/LASG GOALS 4.0 （Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land system coupled model）, developed by the State Key Laboratory of Numerical Modelling for Atmospheric Sciences and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics （LASG）, Institute of Atmospheric Physics （IAP）, Chinese Academy of Sciences （CAS）. In order to validate the model, the modern climate during 1951-2000 was first simulated by the GOALS model with the actual greenhouse gas concentration, and the simulation results were compared with observed data. The simulation results basically reproduce the lower temperature from the 1960s to mid-1970s and the warming from the 1980s for the globe and Northern Hemisphere, and better the important cold （1950 1976） and warm （1977-2000） periods in the past 50 years over North China. The correlation coefficient is 0.34 between simulations and observations （significant at a more than 0.05 confidence level）. The range of winter temperature departures for North China is between those for the eastern and western China＇s Mainland. Meanwhile, the summer precipitation trend turning around the 1980s is also successfully simulated. The climate change trends in the future 30 years were simulated with the CO2 concentration under IPCC SRES-B2 emission scenario. The results show that, in the future 30 years, winter temperature will keep a warming trend in North China and increase by about 2.5~C relative to climate mean （1960-1990）. Meanwhile, summer precipitation will obviously increase in North China and decrease in South China, displaying a south-deficit-north-excessive pattern of precipitation.     

An accretion-jet model for 3C 84: Interpreting the spectral energy distribution and Faraday rotation measure

3C 84 is a well-known supermassive black hole that can be used to explore jet and accretion physics. In this work, we model the multiwavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) of the 3C 84, and find that the SED is difficult to fit with pure advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) or pure jet model. Using a coupled ADAF-jet model to fit the SED of 3C 84, it is found that the radio emission and the millimeter emission can be naturally reproduced by the synchrotron radiation of nonthermal electrons in the jet, and that the X-ray emission may predominantly come from inverse Compton radiation from electrons in ADAF. According to the Rotation Measure (RM) obtained by the polarization observation, we consider the possible location of the polarizing source and found that the calculated RM in the jet is roughly consistent with the observational constraints. These results will help us better understand jets produced by black holes.     

Three-dimensional variational data assimilation of WindSat ocean surface winds for the genesis and forecasting of tropical storm Henri

With available high-resolution ocean surface wind vectors retrieved from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratorys WindSat on Coriolis, the impact of these data on genesis and forecasting of tropical storm Henri is examined using the non-hydrostatic, fifth-generation mesoscale model (MM5) of Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research plus its newly released three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) system. It is shown that the assimilation of the WindSat-retrieved ocean surface wind vectors in the 3DVAR system improves the model initialization fields by introducing a stronger vortex in the lower troposphere. As a result, the model reproduces the storm formation and track reasonably close to the observations. Compared to the experiment without the WindSat surface winds, the WindSat assimilation reduced an error between the model simulated track and observations of more than 80 km and also improved the storm intensity by nearly 2 hPa. It suggests that these data could provide early detection and prediction of tropical storms or hurricanes.
