山东地区一次台风降水事件的干侵入特征分析

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料对2008年7月17～21日发生在山东地区的强降水事件进行了分析,发现这次强降水是在中低纬度系统相互作用下产生的.对干侵入特征的分析表明,这次强降水事件中干空气主要以纬向侵入为主,这与济南“7.18”暴雨不同.通过对假相当位温(θx)的诊断分析发现,干空气侵入一方面有利于锋区的形成和维持...     

华南前汛期一次特大暴雨过程的数值模拟及其诊断分析

利用WRF3 DVAR同化常规观测和全国自动站资料的WRF模拟结果,对2010年6月18—20日华南前汛期一次特大暴雨过程发生发展的动力条件和热力条件进行详细的诊断分析和研究。结果表明,同化观测资料的WRF模式能较好地模拟出特大暴雨过程的强降水中心、雨带分布及降水强度的变化趋势。稳定的大尺度环流是特大暴雨发生的背景条件。高低空急流及其耦合产生的次级环流的建立是特大暴雨过程的主要动力机制。地面不稳定能量的累积和西南急流输送的充沛水汽和不稳定能量在强垂直运动作用下形成的湿上升,以及中高层冷空气在次级环流的下沉支作用下向低层侵入是特大暴雨过程的热力条件。湿位涡和锋生函数的诊断表明,对流层中高层的干冷空气在次级环流作用下向低层侵入与上升的暖湿空气相互作用,促使斜压不稳定和对流不稳定的释放和发展,是特大暴雨发生发展的触发机制。     

Assessment of several moist adiabatic processes associated with convective energy calculation

Several methods dealing with the moist adiabatic process are described in this paper. They are basedon static energy conservation, pseudoequivalent potential temperature conservation, the strict pseudoadiabatic equation, and the reversible moist adiabatic process, respectively. Convective energy parameters, which are closely related to the moist adiabatic process and which reflect the gravitational effects ofcondensed liquid water, are reintroduced or defined, including MCAPE [Modified-CAPE (convective available potential energy)], DCAPE (Downdraft-CAPE), and MDCAPE (Modified-Downdraft-CAPE). Two real case analyses with special attention given to condensed liquid water show that the selection of moist adiabatic process does affect the calculated results of CAPE and the gravitational effects of condensed liquid water are not negligible in severe storms. Intercomparisons of these methods show that static energy conservation is consistent with pseudo-equivalent potential temperature conservation not only in physical properties but also in calculated results, and both are good approximations to the strict pseudo-adiabatic equation. The lapse rate linked with the reversible moist adiabatic process is relatively smaller than that linked with other moist adiabatic processes, especially when considering solidification of liquid water in the reversible adiabatic process.     

广义非线性亚临界湿对称不稳定

从含摩擦耗散与凝结潜热的f平面Boussinesq近似下的非线性扰动方程组出发,得到了湿空气中的广义能量方程,推导出非线性亚临界湿对称不稳定的必要条件,并将不稳定判据与干空气情况相比较,首先解析地分析得到凝结加热反馈机制对亚临界对称不稳定的影响。其次针对中尺度大气层结不稳定和稳定的情况,分别计算出初始扰动振幅的临界值,结果表明,相对干空气而言,饱和湿空气情况下,当中尺度大气层结不稳定时,亚临界对称不稳定更容易发生,即使中尺度大气层结稳定,亚临界对称不稳定也容易发生。这一结果改进了干空气下的非线性亚临界对称不稳定理论。     

引发舟曲特大泥石流灾害强降雨过程成因

利用自动气象站观测资料、MTSAT卫星红外亮温资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料、AIRS卫星大气温湿资料、MODIS卫星气溶胶光学厚度资料和ECMWF模式预报的地面风、压、温、湿资料,对2010年8月7—8日甘肃省甘南州舟曲县引发特大泥石流灾害的强降雨天气过程的成因进行了天气动力学诊断分析,结果表明:由于地表强烈增温与高空槽后冷空气平流作用,8月7日午后舟曲及其上游 (西北方向) 地区大气不稳定性极强,区域平均对流有效位能 (CAPE) 值为4393 J·kg-1、对流零浮力层 (LNB) 高度达16.54 km;南北气流交汇与局地复杂小地形使得近地面形成多个中小尺度辐合线和辐合中心,于8月7日14:00(北京时) 左右触发了对流的产生;强盛的西北太平洋副热带高压与台风电母之间的偏南气流在23°~30°N纬度带转向西输送水汽直达青藏高原东缘,在高原地形作用下转为向北传输到达舟曲附近区域,为该区域对流发展提供水汽条件;对流云团形成后,在高空西北气流的引导下向东南方向移动,于8月7日夜间到达舟曲地区造成该地区强降雨,引发特大泥石流灾害。     

一次江淮暴雨过程的数值模拟和诊断分析

利用WRF模式对2003年7月4-5日江淮地区的梅雨锋暴雨过程进行了数值模拟和诊断分析.结果表明:暴雨区处于高温高湿环境,高、低空急流的耦合和低层辐合以及高层辐散的配置有利于暴雨的产生发展.通过计算湿位涡还发现,ζ_MPV1高低层正负值区叠加的配置、ζ_MPV1<0及ζ_MPV2>0的演变,表明此次过程中不仅有对流不稳定能量存在,还有倾斜涡度的发展.ζ_MPV1和ζ_MPV2综合反映了暴雨区对流不稳定和斜压不稳定的增强.     

Evolution of moist potential vorticity during a warm-zone heavy rainfall event in the Pearl River Delta

First,based on routine meteorological data,the synoptic characteristics of a heavy warm-sector rainfall that occurred on June 13,2008 in the Pearl River Delta were analyzed.Second,a mesoscale numerical model,Weather Research and Forecasting(WRFV2.2),was used to simulate the heavy rainfall. Diagnostic analyses were done of moist potential vorticity(MPV)for its horizontal components(MPV2) and vertical components(MPV1)based on the simulation results of WRFV2.2 to identify the mechanism of the rainfall development.The results showed that the heavy rainfall occurred when there were high MPV1 in the upper levels and low MPV1 and high MPV2 in the lower levels.Disturbances of high MPV1 in the upper levels came from the southwest or northwest,those of low MPV1 in the lower levels came from the southwest,and those of high MPV2 came from the south.Disturbances of low MPV1 at low levels were the direct cause of convective instability.Enhanced vertical shear of meridional wind led to increased MPV2 at lower levels,strengthened baroclinicity,and active warm and wet flows.These distributions of MPV helped to trigger the release of unstable energy and produce warm-sector heavy rainfall.As it integrates the evolution of dynamic and thermal fields,MPV is able to reveal the development of this heavy rainfall effectively.     

贺兰山东麓两次局地暴雨过程的湿位涡诊断分析

利用自动气象站雨量资料、MICAPS4调阅资料以及NCEP再分析资料,对比分析了2016年8月21日和2018年7月22日宁夏贺兰山东麓两次局地暴雨过程的降水特征、环流形势等,重点对两次过程的湿位涡场进行了诊断分析。结果表明:两次暴雨过程第一阶段均为暖区降水,表现出降水范围小、时间短、强度大,相对第一阶段降水,第二阶段降水范围较大、雨强较小。两次过程强降水均发生在假相当位温(θse)等值线密集区,并沿低空急流轴呈长条状分布,强降水时段与θse最大值出现时间相一致。暴雨区位于位涡(PV)负值中心区附近,暴雨发生发展过程与PV负值中心的移动和变化较为一致,PV负值中心的加强和减弱以及移动方向对局地暴雨的预报有很好的指示意义。对流层500 hPa以上湿位涡正压项(MPV1)正的大值区对应700 hPa以下负的大值区,正负中心区垂直叠加的配置有利于暴雨发生发展。垂直剖面图上600 hPa都存在湿位涡斜压项(MPV2)负极值中心,对流层中低层MPV2负极值中心的强度和维持时间以及变化对局地暴雨的预报有一定的指示作用。     

Study of near surface boundary layer characteristics during pre-monsoon seasons using micrometeorological tower observations

Studying the boundary layer is imperative because severe weather in this portion of the atmosphere impacts on environment and various facets of national activities and affects the socioeconomic scenario of a region. Near surface boundary layer characteristics are investigated through the vertical variation of fluxes of heat, moisture, momentum, kinetic energy and Richardson number during the pre-monsoon season (April-May) at Kharagpur (22° 30’ N, 87° 20’ E) and Ranchi (23° 32’ N, 85° 32’ E) with 50 and 32 m tower data, respectively, on thunderstorm and non-thunderstorm days. The temporal variation of fluxes within the boundary layer and the kinetic energy at different logarithmic heights are observed to vary significantly between thunderstorm and non-thunderstorm days. The heat and momentum fluxes show a maximum peak while the moisture flux shows a sudden attenuation just before the occurrence of thunderstorms. The wind field depicts to play a crucial role at the inland station Kharagpur, which is in the proximity of the Bay of Bengal, compared to the station Ranchi, situated over hilly terrain on Chotanagpur. The micrometeorological study of the boundary layer reveals a significant finding pertaining to observe the passage of thunderstorms. It is observed that the ratio of the potential temperature (θ) and equivalent potential temperature (θe) remains confined within a critical range between 0.85 and 0.90 during the passage of thunderstorms.     

基于ECMWF细网格模式产品的湿螺旋度在四川盆地强降水预报的应用试验

利用欧洲中期数值预报中心(ECMWF)高分辨率预报场(0.25°×0.25°)资料以及四川省加密自动站降水量资料对2011年汛期7—9月和2012年5—7月共计20例强降水个例进行湿螺旋度指标的统计分析,分别归纳总结出6和24 h内强降水发生发展及落区分布的判据指标。利用这些判据指标对2012年8月30日至9月1日及9月8日发生在四川盆地的两例强降水过程及2013年汛期6—8月暴雨个例进行检验并在汛期投入了业务预报工作。检验结果表明:低层700或850 hPa湿螺旋度正值区的分布对强降水落区分布指示较好;当强降水发生时,24 h时效预报的24~48 h 3 h间隔预报场湿螺旋度数量值超过了指标值并持续了2个时次以上,达到了强降水发生的要求;零场预报的0~24 h及12 h时效预报的12~36 h间隔3 h预报场任一时刻湿螺旋度数量值达到了6 h指标判据值,对其后6 h的暴雨落区有较好的指示作用,可作为短时临近预报的业务参考;湿螺旋度订正预报暴雨发生的TS评分远高于ECMWF模式,预报效果好。
