1998年一次梅雨锋暴雨中尺度对流系统的模拟与诊断分析

文中利用观测资料(包括部分‘四大科学试验'资料)和高分辨率数值模拟结果,对1998年6月16～17日发生在赣闽浙沿武夷山北麓地区的梅雨锋暴雨中尺度对流系统特征进行了分析研究。分析表明:(1)本次梅雨锋暴雨发生在对流层中低层中β尺度低压南侧的中尺度辐合线上;在弱的风垂直切变环境下,梅雨锋中α对流云系中有数个中β尺度云呈塔状强烈垂直发展,它们是造成暴雨的中β尺度对流系统。(2)基于加密探空观测的对流有效位能计算显示,赣闽浙沿武夷山北麓地区的强暴雨发生前,最大对流有效位能可达到2600J/kg;通过时间加密的探空观测有可能捕捉对流有效位能的中尺度变化特征。(3)利用高分辨率模拟结果对赣闽浙沿武夷山北麓的暴雨中β尺度对流系统(中β降水云塔)的结构分析显示,强烈发展的中β降水云塔为有利的中尺度动力配置结构,即对应着一个狭窄的、从地面伸展到250hPa的正涡度区,其1.5m/s的垂直上升运动与低层强辐合和高层强辐散相伴随。(4)通过分析与诊断,提出了低层中尺度辐合线上强烈发展的梅雨锋暴雨中β尺度对流系统的气流运动图像,即:在对流层低层,空气从西南和西北两个方向流入中β降水云塔区,在云塔中垂直(略向东倾斜)上升;靠近云塔南(北)侧边缘的上升气。     

梅雨期长江流域两类气旋性扰动和暴雨

文章通过分析长江中游大暴雨和特大暴雨个例,研究了两类梅雨涡的产生、演变及与之联系的暴雨发展过程。一类是移到长江中游的典型西南涡,其斜压结构出现在副热带暖环境中,是在这个系统本身发生、发展的动力-热力过程中产生的;另一类是串行于梅雨切变线上的小型正涡度扰动,其演变过程更复杂一些。文章结合这两次个例对作者过去的一些结果作了验证、充实和归纳。并论及复杂暴雨发展过程的一些预报难点。

Analysis of agricultural drought in Iiuni,Eastern Kenya: application of a Markov model

In semi‐arid Kenya, episodes of agricultural droughts of varying severity and duration occur. The occurrence of these agricultural droughts is associated with seasonal rainfall variability and can be reflected by seasonal soil moisture deficits that significantly affect crop performance and yield. The objective of this study was to stochastically simulate the behaviour of dry and wet spells and rainfall amounts in Iiuni watershed, Kenya. The stochastic behaviour of the longest dry and wet spells (runs) and largest rainfall amounts were simulated using a Markov (order 1) model. There were eight raingauge stations within the watershed. The entire analysis was carried out using probability parameters, i.e. mean, variance, simple and conditional probabilities of dry and rain days. An analysis of variance test (ANOVA ) was used to establish significant differences in rainfall characteristics between the eight stations. An analysis of the number of rain days and rainfall amount per rain day was done on a monthly basis to establish the distribution and reliability of seasonal rainfall. The graphic comparison of simulated cumulative distribution functions (Cdfs) of the longest spells and largest rainfall amounts showed Markovian dependence or persistence. The longest dry spells could extend to 24 days in the long rainy season and 12 in the short rainy season. At 50% (median) probability level, the largest rainfall amounts were 91 mm for the long rainy season and 136 mm for the short rainy season. The short rains were more reliable for crop production than the long rains. The Markov model performed well and gave adequate simulations of the spells and rainfall amounts under semi‐arid conditions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A PREDICTION SCHEME FOR THE PRECIPITATION OF SPR BASED ON THE DATA MINING ALGORITHM AND CIRCULATION ANALYSIS

Based on the 74 circulation indexes provided by National Climate Center of China (hereinafter referred to as NCC) and the 24 indexes compiled by NOAA, the study used the C4.5 algorithm in data mining to establish a decision tree prediction model to predict whether the Spring Persistent Rains (hereinafter referred to as SPR) of 55 years (from 1961 to 2015) is more than the normal, and obtained 5 rules to determine whether the SPR is more than the normal. The accuracy rate of the test set, namely “whether the SPR is more than the normal”, is 98.18%. After evaluating the model by conducting ten 10-fold cross validations to take the average value, the test accuracy rate gained is 84%. There are differences between the three types of years with a SPR more than the normal when it comes to intensity and distribution. In spring, they have respective anomalous 850hPa monthly mean wind fields and water-vapor flux distribution, and 700hPa forms the zone where the vertical speed is anomalously negative. As indicated by the results, the SPR prediction model based on the C4.5 algorithm has a high prediction accuracy rate, the model is reasonably and effectively constructed, and the decision rules take comprehensive factors into consideration. The anomalous rainfall and circulation distribution characteristics obtained based on the decision classification results provide new ideas and methods for the climatic prediction of SPR.     

Temporal Variations of the Spring Persistent Rains and South China Sea Sub-high and Their Correlations to the Circulation and Precipitation of the East Asian Summer Monsoon

National Meteorological Information Center （NMIC） rainfall data and NCEP/NCAR daily circulation reanalysis data are employed to establish the onset-pentad time index of the spring persistent rains （SPR） and the decay-pentad time index of the South China Sea （SCS） sub-high. These indexes are used to study the relationship between the factors in SPR period and their relations to the circulation and precipitation of the East Asian summer monsoon （EASM）. Results show that, the summer rainfall over southeastern China decreases when SPR onset is late. For then EASM strengthens and the cyclonic circulation around the Tibetan Plateau （TP） strengthens, which makes abnormal anti-cyclonic circulation （cyclonic convergent circulation weakens） appear over southeastern China. When the decay of SCS sub-high delays, abnormal flood prevails over the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River （MLYR） and to the south. That is mainly caused by EASM weakening while SCS sub-high strengthening, then the abnormal southwesterly over South China and the abnormal northerlies of anti-cyclonic circulation around the TP converge over the Yangtze Valley. The two indexes have high correlations with multivariate ENSO index （MEI） in March, indicating that the climate abnormity in East Asia is related to global climate abnormity tightly. The two time indexes are independent of each other, which is favorable for the prediction of the anomalies of the circulation and precipitation of EASM. From this point of view, we must take the global climate background into account when we analyze and predict the East Asian summer circulation and precipitation.
