水汽场初值调整及其对华南降水预报贡献的研究

该文利用GMS多通道气象卫星资料推导得到的降水资料估算出的加热率, 作为非绝热的非线性正规模初始化过程中的非绝热强迫项, 进行风压场的初值调整, 再采用一个与模式中的对流参数化方案相反的逆运算方案, 进行水汽场的初值调整.以保证初始时刻按模式的物理参数化方案计算得到的加热率与由卫星推导的加热率一致. 这一方法在非绝热的非线性正规模初值化的框架中, 使初始时刻的水汽场得到调整.既实现了传统的初始化目标, 又提高了模式对降水的短时预报效果.对华南的两个个例的试验结果表明该文的方法是有效的.     

FY2海面温度产品质量检验方法与误差分析

主要介绍了风云二号静止气象卫星海面温度产品的质量检验方法及检验流程,给出了FY2E业务海面温度产品和FY2F海面温度算法的质量检验结果,并从误差统计、反演算法、系统设计等方面分析了目前FY2海面温度产品与国外卫星海面温度产品差异大的原因。现场海面温度质量检验和分析场海面温度交叉检验各有优缺点。现场海面温度质量检验能够对FY2 SST产品给于客观的评价。国外分析场海面温度具有时效性好、全球覆盖且质量均一的优点,分析场海面温度交叉检验能满足FY2 SST质量检验的时效性,是对FY2 SST的相对检验。通过静止卫星海面温度产品质量检验信息可以为产品研发人员和相关用户提供参考。

TRMM-retrieved Cloud Structure and Evolution of MCSs over the Northern South China Sea and Impacts of CAPE and Vertical Wind Shear

Cloud structure and evolution of Mesoscale Convective Systems(MCSs) retrieved from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager(TRMM TMI) and Precipitation Radar(PR) were investigated and compared with some pioneer studies based on soundings and models over the northern South China Sea(SCS).The impacts of Convective Available Potential Energy(CAPE) and environmental vertical wind shear on MCSs were also explored.The main features of MCSs over the SCS were captured well by both TRMM PR and TMI.However,the PR-retrieved surface rainfall in May was less than that in June,and the reverse for TMI.TRMM-retrieved rainfall amounts were generally consistent with those estimated from sounding and models.However,rainfall amounts from sounding-based and PR-based estimates were relatively higher than those retrieved from TRMM-TMI data.The Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) modeling simulation underestimated the maximum rain rate by 22% compared to that derived from TRMM-PR,and underestimated mean rainfall by 10.4% compared to the TRMM-TMI estimate,and by 12.5% compared to the sounding-based estimate.The warm microphysical processes modeled from both the WRF and the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble(GCE) models were quite close to those based on TMI,but the ice water contents in the models were relatively less compared to that derived from TMI.The CAPE and wind shear induced by the monsoon circulation were found to play critical roles in maintaining and developing the intense convective clouds over SCS.The latent heating rate increased more than twofold during the monsoon period and provided favorable conditions for the upward transportation of energy from the ocean,giving rise to the possibility of inducing large-scale interactions.     

Cloud Variations under Subtropical High Conditions

The cloud variations under subtropical high(STH) conditions during summers over a ten-year period are studied using combined data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction.The results reveal that clouds mainly experience an isolated evolution in the STHs,which is designated in this study by the 1540 gpm geopotential lines at 850 hPa.In the STH domain throughout the Northern Hemisphere,the average amount of total clouds exceeds 30%.Low clouds dominate in the STH domain,contributing over 60%of total cloud amount within the Pacific subtropical high and over 40%within the Atlantic subtropical high.The prevalence of low clouds in above regions is determined by the circulation pattern around 150°-180°E and 850 hPa,which suppresses both the upward development of the cloud tops and the water vapor divergences near the surface.Furthermore,clouds present great geographical incoherence within the STH domain.In the eastern STHs,the amount of middle and low clouds increases to peak in the early morning and decreases to a trough in the afternoon,while the amount of high clouds remains stable throughout the day.Conversely,in the western STHs,the diurnal amplitude of low and middle clouds is less than three,while high clouds dramatically reach the maximum in the afternoon and drop to the minimum in the evening.Among the nine cloud categories,stratocumulus clouds with greater optical thickness account for the most under STH conditions,no matter their occurrence or amount,causing more shortwave cloud radiative forcing to cool the local atmosphere and surface as a consequence.

一次层状云飞机播云试验的云微物理特征及响应分析

根据2005年3月21日在河南进行的层状云飞机播云试验的探测资料,对人工增雨催化前后层状云的宏微观物理量进行对比分析.结果表明,播云前在4200m高度平飞中观测到的小云粒子数浓度最大值为1.36×108个/m3,相应平均直径在5μm左右;小云粒子数浓度和云液态水含量在催化后均减小,播撒层下方变化较之播撒层变化更加显著;5000m高度小云粒子平均直径由催化前的17.32μm增加到催化后的18.07μm,平均直径明显增大,这些作业前后微观物理量的变化表明了人工催化层状云的物理响应.不同高度飞行具有相似的粒子谱分布.     

云凝结核浓度对WRF模式模拟飑线降水的影响：不同云微物理参数化方案的对比研究

采用WRF模式模拟一次影响中国广东省的飑线过程, 分别选取Morrison、 Thompson07、 Thompson09和WDM6云微物理方案实施了四组试验, 每组试验包括不同云凝结核（CCN）浓度的三次模拟, 称为 “低浓度”、 “中浓度” 和 “高浓度”, 将模拟区域划分为深对流、 浅对流和层云区域, 对比分析四组试验中CCN浓度变化对模拟的总降水量、 不同区域降水率和不同区域面积的影响, 进一步分析了云微物理过程、 动力环流强度等受CCN浓度变化的影响。发现: （1） 由于不同云微物理过程与CCN浓度有着直接或间接的联系、 不同云微物理过程之间存在复杂的关联、 云微物理过程与动力环流之间发生非线性耦合, 采用不同的云微物理方案导致模拟的CCN—降雨影响既有相似、 也有差异; （2）模拟的CCN—降水影响在采用Thompson09和Thompson07方案时更显著, 采用WDM6方案时最小; （3）四组模拟试验均出现CCN浓度增加延迟降水产生、 初期降水减弱的情况, 在模拟后期降水量也随着CCN浓度增加而减小, 而飑线成熟阶段CCN—降水影响更加复杂。

渤海海效应暴雪云特征的观测分析

利用静止卫星 (GMS-5, GOES-9, MTSAT) 红外数据与CloudSat卫星云剖面雷达数据、NCEP FNL分析资料与常规观测资料,对2001—2010年发生的12次渤海海效应暴雪过程中云的演变特征、渤海热力作用与暴雪云团垂直结构及相态组成进行了观测分析。发现不同生成源地的暴雪云通常在渤海上快速发展,云中多存在水平范围可达100~300 km的密实条状或块状云团,其下对应主要降雪区域;暴雪云生成源地可分为渤海湾及莱州湾附近、渤海中部、辽东湾附近3种,暴雪云在海上移动主要受850 hPa风场影响;渤海暖海面与其上冷空气间的热量、水汽交换形成的不稳定层结条件,导致暴雪云进一步发展;暴雪云发展旺盛时期高度可达4 km,其冰水含量最大值达600 mg·m-3且主要集中在2 km高度附近,平均值可达303 mg·m-3,冰粒子有效半径最大值约为120 μm,平均值约为91 μm。
