利用三江源地区14个站1961-2005年逐月降水资料,对全区近45年夏季降水异常的时空特征及与大气环流异常的关系进行了分析.结果表明,近45年来,三江源地区的夏季降水量具有良好的空间一致性,总体呈微弱的减少趋势,减少幅度为9mm/45a;三江源地区经历了5个干、湿交替的阶段,存在较明显的准2年、准4～6年的振荡周期,自1980年代中期后12～14年左右的周期信号较强;1968、1979及1986年是3个明显的气候突变点,小波分析结果与降水序列大-小-大-小-大的变化趋势及突变检验存在良好的对应关系.环流分析表明,三江源地区夏季旱、涝年份的大气环流配置形势在高度距平场、风场和温度场均呈反向变化,可作为强信号,对三江源夏季降水的异常预测起指示作用.     

用前期大气环流指数预测新疆北部夏季降水的探讨

用1961-2007年新疆北部29站夏季(6-8月)降水资料,计算得到北疆夏季降水指数.以前期的月环流指数为因子,考虑相关系数的不稳定性,用滑动相关法初选因子,采用两级逐步回归的集合方案,尝试对北疆夏季降水指数进行预测.总样本数为47时,北疆夏季降水指数的拟合(预测)序列与原始序列之间的相关系数为0.7248.另外建立了10种不同总样本数的预测模型.经综合分析比较,以最终的统计集合预测效果最好,预测2008年北疆夏季降水将偏少,降水指数为106.9.结果表明:(1)滑动相关-逐步回归-集合预测方法以及在此基础上建立的统计集合预测模型具有一定的预测能力;(2)相关分析与时间序列分析相结合的思路和方法,可在季节、月等不同时间尺度的短期气候预测业务中应用.     

圣帕台风暴雨的非地转湿Q矢量的诊断分析

利用WRF中尺度模式模拟了台风"圣帕"登陆后减弱成热带低压造成湖南省大暴雨的过程,使用模拟输出的高分辨率资料,借助非地转湿Q矢量对这次暴雨过程做了详细的诊断分析.结果表明:非地转湿Q矢量能比较清楚地揭示此次暴雨演变过程,尤其700 hPa的非地转湿Q矢量散度场对降水预报具有较好的指示意义,其散度辐合区域对应着降水的落区,散度辐合强度变化指示着降水强度的变化趋势,并且非地转湿Q矢量散度辐合强度的大小可预示着未来3～6 h降水的强弱,是具有预报价值的;非地转湿Q矢量散度是非地转ω方程的强迫项,并与地形条件共同作用激发了地面中尺度系统的发展与次级环流的形成,是此次暴雨得以发展与维持的机制.     

The Role of Land–sea Distribution and Orography in the Asian Monsoon. Part I： Land–sea Distribution

A number of AGCM simulations were performed by including various land--sea distributions (LSDs), such as meridional LSDs, zonal LSDs, tropical large-scale LSDs, and subcontinental-scale LSDs, to identify their effects on the Asian monsoon. In seven meridional LSD experiments with the continent/ocean located to the north/south of a certain latitude, the LSDs remain identical except the southern coastline is varied from 40^o to 4^oN in intervals of 5.6^o. In the experiments with the coastline located to the north of 21^oN, no monsoon can be found in the subtropical zone. In contrast, a summer monsoon is simulated when the continent extends to the south of 21^oN. Meanwhile, the earlier onset and stronger intensity of the tropical summer monsoon are simulated with the southward extension of the tropical continent. The effects of zonal LSDs were investigated by including the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean into the model based on the meridional LSD run with the coastline located at 21^oN. The results indicate that the presence of a mid-latitude zonal LSD induces a strong zonal pressure gradient between the continent and ocean, which in turn results in the formation of an East Asian subtropical monsoon. The comparison of simulations with and without the Indian Peninsula and Indo-China Peninsula reveals that the presence of two peninsulas remarkably strengthens the southwesterly winds over South Asia due to the tropical asymmetric heating between the tropical land and sea. The tropical zonal LSD plays a crucial role in the formation of cumulus convection.     

华北夏季降水减少与北半球大气环流异常的关系

利用华北地区20站夏季降水资料和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,采用趋势分析、合成分析等方法,对华北夏季降水减少与北半球大气环流异常进行对比分析。结果表明,华北夏季降水量1951—2008年呈显著减少趋势,平均每10 a减少13.4 mm,1965年发生了气候突变,之后降水量减少更加明显。北半球大气环流在1965年前后有明显不同：1）1951—1965年夏季500 hPa高度场欧洲大槽、贝加尔湖槽较深,乌拉尔山高压脊较强,经向环流表现突出;而1966—2008年夏季欧洲大槽、贝加尔湖槽较浅,乌拉尔山高压脊较弱,纬向环流表现突出。2）1951—1965年夏季500 hPa蒙古冷槽位置偏北偏西,冷空气活动经常影响华北地区;而1966—2008年夏季蒙古冷槽位置东移南压到河套附近,冷空气经常影响华北以南以东地区。3）1951—1965年夏季海平面气压场蒙古低压异常强大,而1966—2008年蒙古低压明显减弱。4）1951—1965年夏季850 hPa东亚夏季风一直伸展到华北、东北地区,蒙古地区存在明显的气旋性环流,在河套附近产生风向辐合;而1966—2008年东亚夏季风在到达30°N附近风速显著减小,很少越过长江到达华北地区,在长江流域形成了风速辐合,同时蒙古地区的气旋性环流消失,河套附近的风向辐合变的很弱。1951—1965年华北多雨是由于东亚夏季风水汽的有效输送和河套附近的风向辐合造成的,而1966—2008年长江流域多雨是由于东亚夏季风在这里产生了风速辐合造成的。华北夏季降水减少与北半球大气环流异常有很好的联系。     

新疆阿勒泰地区一次强寒潮天气过程分析

利用Micaps常规实况图、EC客观分析场及T213 00时的物理量场,从寒潮冷空气的酝酿、堆积、爆发3个阶段分析了2009年2月11～13日新疆阿勒泰地区的一次强寒潮天气过程,重点分析强降温及降水原因。分析表明:此次强寒潮冷空气来自新地岛和泰米尔半岛的超极地强冷空气,强冷空气沿乌拉尔山脊前东北风带和北风带南下堆积到西西伯利亚上空。由于乌拉尔山脊西北部冷空气的侵袭,使该脊向东南跨,推动西西伯利亚强冷空气大举南下,从而造成这次强寒潮天气。形成强降水的原因是北方冷空气与南支槽东移北上的暖湿气流在该地区汇合,并配合动力条件和水汽条件共同造成的。     

欧亚中高纬春季地表感热异常与长江中下游夏季降水的可能联系

利用国家气候中心提供的中国区域753站降水观测资料、ECMWF逐月地表感热通量再分析资料和NECP/NCAR再分析资料,讨论了欧亚大陆中高纬春季地表感热异常与长江中下游夏季降水之间的联系及其相关的物理机制。分析发现欧亚大陆中高纬春季地表感热异常与长江中下游地区夏季降水存在显著的正相关:感热偏强期,长江中下游夏季降水偏多;感热偏弱期,长江中下游夏季降水偏少。春季感热异常偏强时,夏季东亚副热带西风急流主体位置偏东、强度偏强、范围偏大,长江中下游地区主要受辐合上升气流控制,水汽输送条件好,降水异常偏多。而春季感热偏弱时,情况大致相反,则夏季降水异常偏少。研究表明欧亚大陆中高纬春季地表感热通量异常变化对我国长江中下游夏季降水预测具有一定的指示意义。

以500hPa盛行气流为主,参考FY-2D卫星云图云型特征,将2007年7～8月祁连山区的31次降水过程作天气分型。取30°～45°N范围500hPa110°E的格点平均位势高度与90°E平均位势高度之差值为分类标准。分成3个主型,西南气流型、西北气流型和平直西风气流型。西南气流型又分移动型和阻塞型两个副型。西北气流型分西北气流冷平流型和河套冷涡两个副型。用试验区中尺度自动站网的降水资料,探讨降水量与海拔高度和坡向的关系,分析产生降水过程各天气类型的环流特征及其降水强度,发现在不同的大尺度流型下,地形的动力和热力作用会造成迥然不同的地形强迫中尺度系统。     

Winter season stratospheric circulation in the SAMIL/LASG general circulation model

In this paper, we examine the performance of the 26-level version of the SAMIL/LASG GCM (R42/L26) in simulating the seasonal cycle and perpetual winter mean stratospheric circulation as well as its variability by comparing them with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. The results show that the model is capable of reproducing many key features of the climatology and seasonal variation of the stratospheric circulation despite that the model’s mean polar vortex is stronger and more zonally symmetric compared to the obse...     

Estimates of anthropogenic CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> uptake in a global ocean model

A global ocean general circulation model (L30T63) is employed to study the uptake and distribution of anthropogenic CO₂ in the ocean. A subgrid-scale mixing scheme called GM90 is used in the model. There are two main GM90 parameters including isopycnal diffusivity and skew (thickness) diffusivity. Sensitivities of the ocean circulation and the redistribution of dissolved anthropogenic CO₂ to these two parameters are examined. Two runs estimate the global oceanic anthropogenic CO₂ uptake to be 1.64 and 1.73 Pg C yr^-1 for the 1990s, and that the global ocean contained 86.8 and 92.7 Pg C of anthropogenic CO₂ at the end of 1994, respectively. Both the total inventory and uptake from our model are smaller than the data-based estimates. In this presentation, the vertical distributions of anthropogenic CO₂ at three meridional sections are discussed and compared with the available data-based estimates. The inventory in the individual basins is also calculated. Use of large isopycnal diffusivity can generally improve the simulated results, including the exchange flux, the vertical distribution patterns, inventory, storage, etc. In terms of comparison of the vertical distributions and column inventory, we find that the total inventory in the Pacific Ocean obtained from our model is in good agreement with the data-based estimate, but a large difference exists in the Atlantic Ocean, particularly in the South Atlantic. The main reasons are weak vertical mixing and that our model generates small exchange fluxes of anthropogenic CO₂ in the Southern Ocean. Improvement in the simulation of the vertical transport and sea ice in the Southern Ocean is important in future work.
