南印度洋海区大风天气气旋概念模型研究

本文根据多年的天气图、卫星云图以及1980～1990年的NCEP再分析资料,通过统计分析和合成分析等方法建立了能够在南印度洋特定海区引起12m/s以上大风天气的中高纬气旋型天气概念模型,井对该天气概念模型作了详细的阐述.该天气概念模型主要发生在南半球的冬季和初春,在该模型中,气旋从高纬低压中分裂出来,快速东移赶上位于其东部的高位低压并发展至其北部.气旋冷锋最终在南印度洋东部引起大风.该天气概念模型的建立对南印度洋海区大风的预报可起到一定指导作用.     

T639和EC模式对内蒙古主要天气系统的预报性能检验

利用2012年T639和EC模式500hPa高度场预报产品及ECMWF客观再分析资料,采用天气学检验方法,对内蒙古主要天气影响系统之西风槽、贝加尔湖冷涡、蒙古冷涡和东北冷涡数值产品的预报性能进行检验。检验结果表明:T639和EC模式产品对内蒙古影响系统具有较好的预报性能,36h内的预报性能更为显著。EC模式产品预报准确率优于T639模式产品,但对内蒙古东部地区影响系统的预报稳定性相对较差。T639模式产品在36h的预报能力比较高,对影响系统的生成时间、槽线位置、移动速度及中心强度4项检验指标预报准确率均在80%以上。EC模式预报产品,48h内对影响系统4项检验指标预报准确率均在80%以上。随着预报时效延长,T639和EC模式产品预报能力均有所下降。两套模式产品与实况相关系数空间分布在各时效均具有显著的相关关系,并且对应相关系数空间分布,T639和EC模式产品标准差的大值中心与相关系数的低值中心基本一致。     

夏季季节内振荡对西北太平洋台风活动的影响

利用夏季季节内振荡(Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation, BSISO)指数和台风密集度分析了夏季季节内振荡和西北太平洋台风活动的关系。台风密集度定义为一天内500 km范围内台风出现的概率,与台风经纬度位置相比,台风密集度可更灵活地表达台风生成及移动特征。结果表明夏季季节内振荡对台风活动有明显的调制作用。当夏季季节内振荡指数1(BSISO1)处于第1、5、6、7、8位相时,南海及菲律宾以东海域台风活动明显增强;当夏季季节内振荡指数2(BSISO2)处于第2、3、4位相时,西北太平洋台风活动也明显增强。当夏季季节内振荡处于这些位相时,台风活动增强与南海及菲律宾以东海域环流气旋式异常、对流活动正异常相一致。      

WRF模式中微物理和积云对流参数化方案对台风“莫拉克”模拟敏感性分析

基于WRF模式,研究了不同微物理和积云对流参数化方案对0908号台风"莫拉克"的路径移动、强度变化和降水过程模拟的敏感性。结果显示,积云对流参数化方案对台风"莫拉克"的路径和强度模拟起主导作用,采用Kain-Fritsch积云对流方案模拟的72 h平均路径误差较小;降水量的模拟主要取决于微物理参数化方案,而降水分布的好坏更依赖于积云对流参数化方案,而采用Thompson微物理和Grell-Devenyi积云对流方案的试验导致累积降水极值的偏干误差较大。积云对流方案对环境场和潜热释放模拟存在差异,导致路径和强度、温度廓线和垂直运动的模拟结果不同,而微物理方案对不同相态降水粒子的垂直分布结构模拟存在差异,从而导致降水模拟的差别。此外,由不同试验构造的集合平均能减少单个成员模拟路径和降水的不确定性,特别在强降水方面能减小空报数和漏报数,提高TS评分,改善模拟效果。     

Atmospheric Circulation Patterns Associated with Mortality Changes During the Transitional Seasons

Although much research has been done linking meteorological variables individually with various aspects of human health, few studies have considered the collective impact of weather. This study examines the relationship among ten synoptic-scale weather patterns and daily cause-specific human mortality rates for metropolitan areas in the central United States during the 1978 to 1998 autumn and spring seasons. The results show that distinctive changes in mortality rates are often associated with one or two of the more moderate synoptic types, displaying notable spatial and temporal variability. The occurrence of the Eastern Zonal (EZ) pattern during spring and the East Coast Trough (ECT) pattern during autumn seems to invoke the most significant increased mortality response across all causes of death and metropolitan statistical areas. For the EZ and ECT types, the largest adverse response occurs for locations influenced by cold, anticyclonic situations and atmospheric stability.

利用环渤海地区常规气象观测资料和NCEP位势高度、风速再分析资料,采用天气学方法分析了环渤海地区雾天气过程。结果表明:环渤海区域性雾天气出现时500 hPa高空天气形势有3种:纬向气流型、低槽型、高压脊型;地面形势有4种:锋面气旋型、高压前部型、均压场型、弱高压型。针对天气形势的槽脊和高、低压中心等特点设计客观自动识别系统,进而基于T639模式输出产品计算了多个水汽条件、层结稳定条件和风速条件因子,经过诊断分析及相关分析后选取1000 hPa温度露点差、1000 hPa风速、925与850 hPa温度差和M指数4个参数作为物理量诊断因子,建立天气形势自动识别与T639模式输出物理量诊断相结合的预报系统,给出环渤海地区雾天气出现时间和空间范围未来1~3 d的预报,试验结果表明取得了较好效果。     

Dynamical Feedback between Synoptic Eddy and Low-Frequency Flow as Simulated by BCC_CSM1.1(m)

Since the interaction between atmospheric synoptic eddy(SE)(2–8 days) activity and low-frequency(LF)(monthly)flow(referred to as SELF) plays an essential role in generating and maintaining dominant climate modes,an evaluation of the performance of BCC_CSM1.1(m) in simulating the SE feedback onto the LF flow is given in this paper.The model captures well the major spatial features of climatological eddy vorticity forcing,eddy-induced growth rate,and patterns of SELF feedback for the climate modes with large magnitudes in cold seasons and small magnitudes in warm seasons for both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.As in observations,the eddy-induced growth rate and SELF feedback patterns in the model also show positive SE feedback.Overall,the relationships between SE and LF flow show that BCC_CSM1.1(m)satisfactorily captures the basic features of positive SE feedback,which demonstrates the simulation skill of the model for LF variability.Specifically,such an evaluation can help to find model biases of BCC_CSM1.1(m) in simulating SE feedback,which will provide a reference for the model's application.

文章对2017年3—5月T639、ECMWF及日本（文中简称JP）数值模式的中期预报产品进行了分析和检验。结果表明：T639模式和ECMWF模式对亚洲中高纬环流形势的调整和演变均具有较好的预报性能。T639模式和ECMWF模式对850 hPa温度的转折性变化趋势均有较好的预报能力,其中对南方地区温度变化的预报能力明显优于北方地区,ECMWF综合预报效果最好。此外,选取了2017年5月3—7日的沙尘天气过程进行个例分析,发现ECMWF模式对此次过程的海平面高压系统的中期预报指示意义较好。     

Characteristics of Pre-summer Daytime Cloud Regimes over Coastal South China from the Himawari-8 Satellite

Using the high spatiotemporal resolution (2 km-and-10 min) data from the Advanced Himawari Imager onboard the Himawari-8 satellite, this study documents the fine-scale characteristics of daytime cloud regimes (CRs) over coastal South China during the pre-summer rainy season (April–June). Six CRs (CR1–CR6) are identified based on the joint frequency distribution of cloud top brightness temperature and cloud optical thickness, namely, the optically thin-to-moderate cloud mixture, optically thin warm clouds with cirrus, optically thick warm clouds, weak convective cloud mixture, strong convective clouds, and extreme, deep convective clouds. The optically thick warm clouds are the major CR during April and May, with higher frequencies over land, especially along the urban agglomeration, rather than the offshore which may be an indicator of the higher aerosol concentrations being a contributing factor over the cities. The CRs with weak convective cloud mixtures and strong convective clouds appear more frequently over the land, while the two CRs with optically thinner clouds occur mainly offshore. Synoptic flow patterns (SPs) are objectively identified and examined focusing on those favoring the two major rain-producing CRs (CR5 and CR6) and the highly reflective CR with optically thick warm clouds (CR3). The two SPs favoring CR5 and CR6 are characterized by abundant moisture with low-level jets after monsoon onset, and a northwest high-southeast low pattern with strong dynamic convergence along the coastline, respectively. The non-convective CR3 with high reflectance is related to a SP that features the western North Pacific subtropical high extending more westward, leading to a moderate moisture supply and a wide range of convective available potential energy, but also, large convective inhibition.     

南极海冰与我国夏季天气的关系

南极各区海冰变化不同,这种不同的变化必然对各区局地大气环流产生不同的影响,进而可能对全球气候系统产生不同的作用。本文利用Hadley中心提供的1968年1月-2002年12月全球海冰密集度格点资料,结合中央气象台的北半球500hPa、100hPa高度场资料以及中国160站降水、温度资料,利用诊断分析方法,分别对南极Ross海区和Weddell海区海冰与我国夏季天气的关系进行了研究。研究表明,南极Ross海区和Weddell海区海冰对我国夏季天气均具有指示意义。Ross海区是影响我国夏季东北地区降水的海冰关键区,若该区上一年9月海冰偏多,则来年6月我国东北降水偏少;Weddell海区是影响我国夏季东北温度的海冰关键区,若该区上一年9月海冰偏多,则来年6月我国东北温度偏低。
