FEATURES OF ENERGY BUDGET AND CONVERSION OF DEVELOPED AND UNDEVELOPED TROPICAL CYCLONE

With two cases of local tropical disturbances in both developed and undeveloped phases, contributions to the genesis and development by kinetic formation and transfer from divergent and nondivergent winds are studied using energy budget equations. Computations are done of conversion kinetic energy between the two types of winds. The result indicates that the subgrid scale effect is the principal source of kinetic energy for a tropical cyclone to grow into a typhoon; the cumulus convection plays a dominant role, in company of relatively weaker contributions on vdrious phases of the life cycle by convergence of fluxes of divergent and nondivergent winds as well as the formation of kinetic energy by the former wind. It is also suggested that the conversion of kinetic energy between the divergent and nondivergent winds C(K_x, K_ψ)is increasing with the development of disturbance mainly due to the contribution by C₁=f^▽Χ^▽ψ. The disturbance is shown in the distribution of C(K_x, K_ψ) to increase in a favorable anticyclonic outflow corresponding to the upper level where the conversion becomes negative in developing and mature phases while the wind velocity increases with enhanced conversion fr0m K_x to K_ψ the lower level in association with the growth of the disturbance. In addition,geopotential energy P converts to kinetic energy of the divergent wind in every stage from formation to mature of the disturbance by means of C(P, K_x), the maximum appearing on the middle and upper layers of the troposphere.The intensity of C(P, K_x) is consistently in phase with variation of C(K_x, K_ψ).

Hydrological behaviour of a small catchment in the dehesa landuse system (Extremadura, SW Spain)

Investigations of the hydrological processes operating in a small experimental catchment representative of the dehesa ecosystem were carried out. The dehesa constitutes a system of agro-silvo-pastoral landuse, which is characterized by a Mediterranean, semi-arid climate. The study includes an analysis of the relationships between rainfall, soil water content and discharge, as well as the establishment of the annual water budget. The results demonstrate a complex hydrological response. The relationships between the factors involved and the operating processes are difficult to explain because of the decisive role played by the valley bottoms. These areas typically possess a sediment fill, and contrast with the shallow soils developed on the hillslopes. Genesis and quantity of runoff (Hortonian or saturation) measured at the outlet depend on the antecedent moisture conditions of the valley bottoms because of their water-retention capacity. Annual runoff coefficients are similar to those reported from other semi-arid areas. The analysis of the annual water budget shows that rainfall is positively related with both actual evapotranspiration and discharge.     

战术性与战略性的深穿透地球化学方法

多年来地球化学方法主要用于圈定出露及亚出露矿化四周的地表次生分散晕和分散流找矿或圈定盲矿上方地表的原生晕找矿,取得极大效果,但对被厚层运积物或厚层成矿后沉积岩或火山岩埋藏的矿体,由于地表次生异常与原生晕皆被掩蔽而显得无能为力。８０年代以来发展了一些新的能有效探索被厚达数百米运积层及成矿后沉积岩或火山岩埋藏的矿体的“深穿透”地球化学方法,包括澳大利亚的ＭＭＩ方法,加拿大与美国的酶提取方法,前苏联的ＣＨＩＭ方法,瑞典的ＧＥＯＧＡＳ方法及中国的ＮＡＭＥＧ与ＭＯＭＥＯ方法。这些方法大多数是用于详查中,用在地质预测认为深部有远景或地球物理方法发现深部有某种异常,但又无法取得可靠的矿化直接证据的地区,而中国的ＮＡＭＥＧ与ＭＯＭＥＯ方法则既是战术性的,又可在找寻隐伏的大型、特大型甚至巨型矿床上发挥巨大的战略作用。文中列举了在乌兹别克斯坦穆龙套巨型金矿及澳大利亚奥林匹克坝巨型铜铀金银矿周围进行的战略性深穿透ＮＡＭＥＧ与ＭＯＭＥＯ测量的结果,笔者认为这种战略性与战术性深穿透地球化学方法的发展将会加速在隐伏区找到大型至巨型矿的进程,并为勘查地球化学在２１世纪开拓广阔的新的研究领域。     

Hydrogeologic uncertainties and policy implications: The Water Consumer Protection Act of Tucson, Arizona, USA

 The 1995 Water Consumer Protection Act of Tucson, Arizona, USA (hereafter known as the Act) was passed following complaints from Tucson Water customers receiving treated Central Arizona Project (CAP) water. Consequences of the Act demonstrate the uncertainties and difficulties that arise when the public is asked to vote on a highly technical issue. The recharge requirements of the Act neglect hydrogeological uncertainties because of confusion between "infiltration" and "recharge." Thus, the Act implies that infiltration in stream channels along the Central Wellfield will promote recharge in the Central Wellfield. In fact, permeability differences between channel alluvium and underlying basin-fill deposits may lead to subjacent outflow. Additionally, even if recharge of Colorado River water occurs in the Central Wellfield, groundwater will become gradually salinized. The Act's restrictions on the use of CAP water affect the four regulatory mechanisms in Arizona's 1980 Groundwater Code as they relate to the Tucson Active Management Area: (a) supply augmentation; (b) requirements for groundwater withdrawals and permitting; (c) Management Plan requirements, particularly mandatory conservation and water-quality issues; and (d) the requirement that all new subdivisions use renewable water supplies in lieu of groundwater. Political fallout includes disruption of normal governmental activities because of the demands in implementing the Act. Received, December 1996 · Revised, October 1997 · Accepted, October 1997     

The role of channel and floodplain storage in the suspended sediment budget of the River Ouse, Yorkshire, UK

This study attempts to quantify the amount of fine-grained (ca. < 150 μm) sediment stored on the floodplains and on the channel bed of the non-tidal sections of the main channels in the catchment of the River Ouse (3315 km²) and of one of its tributaries, the River Waarfe (818 km²), in Yorkshire, UK. Caesium-137 analyses of floodplain sediment cores were used to quantify the amount of Iloodplain deposition as a result of overbank flooding during the last ca. 40 years. A combination of bulk and sectioned cores were collected along transects perpendicular to the channel at 26 sites throughout the study basins. In general, rates of overbank sedimentation decrease with distance from the channel. The average values for individual transects range between 0.010 and 0.554 g cm⁻² year⁻¹. Floodplain storage along the main channels of the Ouse and Wharfe basins accounts for 60645 and 10325 t year⁻¹, respectively, and represents a net loss from the system. The amount of fine-grained sediment stored on the channel bed was estimated by a survey undertaken in August 1996, during which the fine material deposited on the bed was resuspended and its mass estimated at 16 locations. The average values for the individual locations range between 0.017 and 0.924 g cm⁻² and tend to increase downstream. The total channel bed storage at the time of sampling in 1996 was estimated to be 16076 and 1866 t for the Ouse and Wharfe basins, respectively. It is assumed that channel bed storage is seasonal and that no net loss to the system occurs at the annual timescale. Floodplain storage for the Ouse and Wharfe basins represents 39 and 49%, and channel bed storage equals 10 and 9%, respectively, of the annual suspended sediment load (1995–1996) delivered to the channel system. These results have important implications for the routing of fine-grained sediment and sediment-associated contaminants in drainage basins, and for the interpretation of downstream sediment yields in terms of upstream sediment mobilisation.

“6·30”川渝特大暴雨过程中西南低涡发展机制模拟分析

利用地面加密自动站、NCEP(1°×1°)再分析及WRF-ARW数值模拟资料,对造成2013年6月29日至7月1日川渝地区特大暴雨过程的西南低涡的演变特征及热动力机制进行了诊断分析。此次特大暴雨过程分为三个阶段,其中与西南低涡发展相关的第二阶段为主要降雨时段。结果表明:(1)西南低涡生成后,呈现增强-减弱-再次增强的波动性演变特征,在6月30日上午和夜间分别经历了两次显著的涡度发展过程,并在第二次发展过程中达到最强。(2)低空辐合是西南低涡最主要的涡源,由低空辐合导致的正涡度增加近乎贯穿于整个西南低涡的生命史。在西南低涡的第二次发展过程中,中层辐合和涡度的垂直输送显著增强,也是西南低涡的重要涡源。(3)负值非平衡动力强迫激发了低空辐合的增长,在非平衡动力强迫的各项中,位势高度的拉普拉斯项为非平衡动力强迫提供了主要的负贡献来源。(4)非绝热加热先于西南低涡而增强,两者间的正反馈作用可能是西南低涡波动性发展的重要机制。在关闭了微物理过程中的潜热和地面潜热及感热通量的敏感性试验中,西南低涡及降雨的模拟均有不同程度的减弱。     

浙江大暴雨与南海台风“山竹”相关性数值研究

2018年9月17日前后浙江东北部出现了大暴雨,与此同时,1822号台风“山竹”登陆广东并向西移动,为了研究浙江东北部大暴雨是否与“山竹”有关,利用云图资料、ERA-Interim再分析资料和自动站加密资料,先分析了2018年9月17日前后浙江东北部暴雨的天气形势,后通过WRF模式对此次过程进行了数值模拟,并做了将台风“山竹”去掉、增大一倍、缩小一半三个敏感性试验。表明此次暴雨过程出现在台风“山竹”倒槽东北顶端,是对流云系发展引发的。“山竹”的存在使得偏南气流输送到浙江东北部地区,且偏南风输送大小与“山竹”是否存在及其尺度密切相关。同时“山竹”使得浙江东北部区域存在着大范围深厚的高湿区,“山竹”越大,高湿区越深厚。“山竹”使得该区域低层有明显辐合,高层明显辐散,且尺度越大,辐合层高度越高。“山竹”还造成垂直运动旺盛,且尺度越大,上升运动越强。“山竹”使得浙江东北部大气层垂直螺旋度明显增大,且“山竹”越大,中低层垂直螺旋度越大,垂直螺旋度的大小对接下来6小时该区域降水量有很好的指示作用。由此,浙江暴雨预报需考虑同时出现的南海台风活动情况。      

Dissipation process of summer tropical easterly waves in Western North Pacific

Tropical easterly waves are common features in the trade wind zones and they are important sources of tropical cyclogenesis. Despite numerous studies have analyzed the genesis and maintenance of easterly waves in the Western North Pacific, few had examined their dissipation processes. Focusing on tropical easterly waves during May-September of 1979–2017, this study shows that most of the easterly waves (∼70 %) eventually dissipate when encountering the monsoon trough and associated westerlies, while 22 % were carried northward by the monsoonal southwesterly flows and became recurving disturbances. Less than 10 % of easterly waves propagate across the South China Sea against the prevailing monsoon westerlies and into the Indochina peninsula. The vorticity budget analysis illustrates that total vortex stretching in the lower troposphere is the key factor in propelling the small number of easterly waves westward, suggesting that stronger and more convectively active easterly waves tend to move further into the developed monsoon trough. This echoes the previous observation that tropical disturbances alone have a limited probability in developing into a typhoon, for those disturbances or easterly waves almost always need to interact with the monsoon trough or a monsoon gyre, as well as other intraseasonal features to sustain the organized convection and rotation.
