Modelling Regional Scale Surface Energy Exchanges And Cbl Growth In A Heterogeneous, Urban-Rural Landscape

Over the last decade, simple models of theconvective boundary layer (CBL) have beensuggested as an approach to inferring regionallyaveraged land-air exchanges of heat, water and tracegases, because the properties of the CBL respond toan average of the underlying small-scaleheterogeneity. This paper explores the use of anintegral CBL method to infer regionally averagedfluxes in a landscape that has at least three majorsources of heterogeneity – irrigated andnon-irrigated rural land use and a large urban area(Sacramento region, California).The first part of the paper assesses the validity ofthe simple slab model of the CBL – this isintegrated forwards in time using local-scalemeasured heat and water vapour fluxes, to predictmixed-layer depth, temperature and humidity. Of thefour different CBL growth schemes used, the Tennekesand Driedonks model is found to give the bestperformance. Evaluation of the model performancewith different weightings of heat and water vapourfluxes based on the land use characteristics in theregion suggest that the source area for theboundary-layer sonde measurements is larger thanphysically-based estimates would suggest.Finally, measured time series of potentialtemperature are used to infer regionally averagedsensible heat fluxes using an integral CBL (ICBL)method. These ICBL fluxes are compared with thosemeasured at the local scale over the three land usetypes that comprise the region of interest. They arefound to be closest to the heat fluxes calculated byappropriately weighting the measured heat fluxes inthe source area calculated for the ICBL. We concludethat the integral CBL budget method providesadequate estimates of regionally-averaged surfaceheat fluxes in a landscape that is characterised bysurface types with distinctly different surfaceenergy budgets.     

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MOVEMENT OF THE MEIYU/BAIU RAIN BELT AND THE PERIODIC NORTHWESTWARD PROPAGATION OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY FROM TROPICAL WEST PACIFIC

In order to investigate the effect of the factors in tower latitudes on Meiyu/Baiu front,adiagnostic analysis for the two cases during June to July of 1985 and 1986 was examined.We foundthat (1)when the tropical convective activity moves westward to 10.5-15.5′N/140°E from eastside of 10.5-15.5°N/160°E,the northward shifts of the Meiyu/Baiu rain belt occurs;(2)themain factor which results in the northward and southward shifts of Meiyu/Baiu rain belt is thoughtas the 8,18 and 30 day oscillations of the tropical convective activity around West Pacific.Meanwhile,the wave train propagating from Lake Baikal via Okhotsk Sea to the tropics couldsometimes shift Baiu rain belt southward;(3)the onsets of Meiyu in China of both cases tend totake place just when the convective activity around lower latitudes moves westward through about140°E with the 8,18 and 30 day oscillation periods firstly coming to June.     

THE MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS ACROSS THE TAIWAN STRAIT AND NEIGHBORING AREAS DURING IOP608 OF HUAMEX

The paper gives the distributions of the daily mean temperature of black body of satellite infrared images from June 7 to 10, 1998 during HUAMEX and examines 14 meso-α-scale convective systems and a number of meso-b-scale convective systems using the satellite infrared images at 1-h intervals. The mesoscale convective systems on June 7 and 9, which resulted in severe rainstorm over the middle of Taiwan and the estuary region of the Pearl River (Zhujiang R.), are emphatically analyzed. The serial development of mesoscale convective systems is revealed by the distributions of the black body temperature of satellite infrared images. The environmental conditions in which many mesoscale convective systems continuously occurred are diagnosed. The visualizing tool, LiveView, displays the link between the upper and lower horizontal wind fields and the vertical circulations and 3-dimensional trajectories of moist air motions, based on the data of objective analyses.     

海原活动断裂带破裂行为特征研究

通过对海原断裂带18个探槽资料的研究，分析得出海原断裂带是10ka以来共发生10次古地震事件，这些古地震事件具有分级破裂的特征，第一次和最后一次是沿全断裂的破裂事件，其他都是沿次级段落的破裂事件。在时间上，古地震事件的分布是不均匀的，具有丛集的特征；在空间上，具有西段或中东段（中段）来回迁移的特征。沿全断裂的破裂事件震级约8．5级左右，沿次级断裂的破裂事件震级约7．5级左右。

二维滞弹性非静力平衡云模式第二部分──中低空风切变对云微物理过程的影响

本文运用已建立的二维时变云模式［1］，就中低空风垂直切变对对流和云微物理过程的影响进行了模拟研究。为此设计了五种方案进行了对比试验。结果表明：中低空风切变较小时，容易爆发对流；中低空切变不超过某一值时，对流发展缓慢，但最终会爆发强对流；一旦中低空风切变超过某一值时，则对流发展不起来。另一方面，中低空风切变可加强各云微物理过程及地面降水量。

本文利用１经纬度间隔Ｔｂｂ资料分析１９９４年６月９－１０日皖、赣致洪暴雨过程的成因。结果指出，登陆北上的９４０３强热带低压同西风带降水系统相互作用造成了这场大暴雨过程。南北低值系统的叠置使降水系统结构发生变化，在两云系统接合处产生强对流云团，导致降雨量陡增。分析还表明这场致洪暴雨的发生与下面三个因素有关；１．南、北两云系统都有相当尺度和强度；２．南来云团来自ＩＴＣＺ和西南地区云系的水源补充；３．不
