东亚夏季风的自然变率——NCAR Cam3模拟结果分析

利用季节循环的全球观测海表温度及海冰驱动NCAR Cam3全球大气环流模式的100a模拟结果,通过定义东亚夏季风指数,分析了模拟的大气内部变化中东亚夏季风的变化特征。结果表明:模拟的东亚夏季风自然变率主要表现为3~7a较显著的年际周期,并具有较明显的年代际变化特征。在弱夏季风年代,亚洲大陆海平面气压增强,日本附近及东亚沿海地区海平面气压降低;500hPa位势高度上,欧洲地区为负高度距平,里海附近地区为正高度距平,日本及其以东太平洋为负高度距平,易形成类似欧亚(EU)型的遥相关波列。在强夏季风年代,其环流异常分布基本与弱夏季风年代相反。模拟的东亚夏季风变化与夏季大气内部500hPa高度场上EU型遥相关波列的关系密切。     

华南春季降水和水汽输送的年代际变化特征

The characteristics of spring precipitation and water vapor transport in South China were analyzed by using observational data and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction （NCEP） reanalysis data. The results show that, during the spring, each component of the water cycle （precipitation, wind field, specific humidity, water vapor transport, etc.） in South China exhibits a notable interdecadal variability. An abrupt increase in spring precipitation occurred in the early 1970s. During the dry period from 1958 to 1971, a water vapor flux divergence （positive divQ） existed in South China, which may have led to the deficiency in rainfall. However, during the wet period from 1973 to 1989, there was a remarkable water vapor flux convergence （negative divQ） in South China, which may have resulted in the higher rainfall. The interdecadal variability of water vapor transport is closely related to the interdecadal variability of wind fields, although the interdecadal variability of specific humidity also plays a role to some extent, and the interdecadal variability of the zonal water vapor transport contributes much more to the interdecadal variability of spring precipitation than the meridional water vapor transport.     

1950—2009年夏季菲律宾低空越赤道气流的变化特征

利用1950—2009年NECP/NCAR的月平均经向风再分析资料,根据夏季(6—8月)菲律宾低空越赤道气流的特征,定义了该支气流的强度指数IS和位置偏移指数IL,并根据这两个指数分析了菲律宾越赤道气流的时间变化特征及对应的环流特征,以及其与亚洲夏季降水的关系。结果表明,IS主要呈现弱、强、弱、强的年代际变化特征,IL主要呈现振荡、稳定、径直转向的年代际变化特征。IS与由低层澳大利亚高压北侧冷空气活跃和西太平洋副热带高压减弱所造成的经向气压梯度的变化有关,IL与澳大利亚地区和赤道低槽区高、低层的南北气压梯度有关。IS与印度尼西亚、孟加拉湾南部、热带西太平洋和澳大利亚东部的降水关系密切,IL与孟加拉湾和中国南海南部的降水关系密切。此外,IL与澳大利亚上空的垂直运动具有密切联系。     

Definition and Features of the North Edge of the East Asian Summer Monsoon

By using daily total precipitable water(TPW) amount from the ECMWF reanalysis(ERA-44a) data in 1958-2001,the north edge of the Asian sub-tropical summer monsoon is defined by a normalized precipitable water index(NPWI),and its climatology and interannual/interdecadal variability are examined.The results show that two monsoon systems(the Indian and East Asian monsoon systems) can be identified in terms of monsoon edge defined by the NPWI over Asia.The mean north edge goes in the west-east direction along ...     

SVD分析揭示的澳大利亚高压年际变化对中国夏季降水的可能影响

澳大利亚高压是东亚夏季风系统的重要成员之一,其对中国夏季气候存在显著影响.为了进一步弄清年际时间尺度上的澳大利亚高压变化对中国东部夏季降水的影响,利用澳大利哑海平面气压和中国夏季降水站点资料,使用SVD和线性回归方法揭示了澳大利亚高压的年际变化与中国夏季降水异常的联系,得到:SVD的第1模态的时间系数与通常使用的澳大利亚高压指数相关可达到0.98.在有无考虑ENSO的影响时,SVD的第1模态均反映出澳大利亚高压的年际变化与中国江南地区夏季降水存在密切联系,也即澳大利亚高压增强(减弱)时,江南地区降水增多(减少).澳大利亚高压对中国夏季降水的可能影响途径为:澳大利哑高压通过影响赤道纬向气流和越赤道气流并通过类似PJ波列的方式影响到中国东部地区:澳大利亚高压增强时,造成西太平洋副热带高压偏南、偏西,同时,105°E处越赤道气流显著加强,为江南地区提供充足水汽源,利于中国江南地区降水;澳大利亚高压减弱时,情况相反;在强(弱)澳大利哑高压年,印度尼西亚及热带辐合带海区SSTA负(正)异常使得低层风场的异常辐散(辐合),激发了澳大利哑南部以及西太平洋地区异常反气旋(气旋)环流,同时江南地区出现异常辐合(辐散),引起大气异常上升(下沉)运动,有利于中国江南地区夏季降水异常偏多(偏少).     

Climate-Vegetation Interannual Variability in a Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean-Land Model

The coupled models of both the Global Ocean-Atmosphere-Land System (GOALS) and the Atmosphere-Vegetation Interaction Model (GOALS-AVIM) are used to study the main characteristics of interannual variations. The simulated results are also used to investigate some significant interannual variability and correlation analysis of the atmospheric circulation and terrestrial ecosystem. By comparing the simulations of the climate model GOALS-AVIM and GOALS, it is known that the simulated results of the interannual variations of the spatial and temporal distributions of the surface air temperatures and precipitation are generally improved by using AVIM in GOALS-AVIM. The interannual variation displays some distinct characteristics of the geographical distribution. Both the Net Primary Production (NPP) and the Leap Area Index (LAI) have quasi 1-2-year cycles. Meanwhile, precipitation and the surface temperatures have 2--4-year cycles. Conditions when the spectrum density values of GOALS are less than those of GOALS-AVIM, tell us that the model coupled with AVIM enhances the simulative capability for interannual variability and makes the annual cycle variability more apparent. Using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) analysis, the relationship between the ecosystem and the atmospheric circulation in East Asia is explored. The result shows that the strengthening and weakening of the East Asian monsoon, characterized by the geopotential heights at 500 hPa and the wind fields at 850 hPa, correspond to the spatiotemporal pattern of the NPP. The correlation between NPP and the air temperature, precipitation and solar radiation are different in interannual variability because of the variation in vegetation types.     

Contribution of the sea surface temperature over the Mediterranean-Black Sea to the decadal shift of the summer North Atlantic Oscillation

Recent observational study has shown that the southern center of the summer North Atlantic Oscillation (SNAO) was located farther eastward after the late 1970s compared to before. In this study, the cause for this phenomenon is explored. The result shows that the eastward shift of the SNAO southern center after the late 1970s is related to the variability of the Mediterranean-Black Sea (MBS) SST. A warm MBS SST can heat and moisten its overlying atmosphere, consequently producing a negative sea level pressure (SLP) departure over the MBS region. Because the MBS SST is negatively correlated with the SNAO, the negative SLP departure can enhance the eastern part of the negative-phase of the SNAO southern center, consequently producing an eastward SNAO southern center shift. Similarly, a cold MBS SST produces an eastward positive-phase SNAO southern center shift. The reason for why the MBS SST has an impact on the SNAO after the late 1970s but why it is not the case beforehand is also discussed. It is found that this instable relationship is likely to be attributed to the change of the variability of the MBS SST on the decadal time-scale. In 1951--1975, the variability of the MBS SST is quite weak, but in 1978--2002, it becomes more active. The active SST can enhance the interaction between the sea and its overlying atmosphere, thus strengthening the connection between the MBS SST and the SNAO after the late 1970s. The above observational analysis results are further confirmed by sensitivity experiments.     

夏季北大西洋涛动的过去、现在和未来

北大西洋-欧洲的夏季气候年际变化与著名的冬季北大西洋涛动相似。本文定义夏季北大西洋涛动（SNAO）为夏季北大西洋温带平均海平面气压的经验正交函数（EOF）第一特征向量。与冬季北大西洋涛动相比,SNAO位置更北、空间尺度更小。SNAO也可用聚类分析来检测,它在日和月的时间尺度上具有近似等价的正压结构。尽管它比冬季北大西洋涛动的振幅要小,但因夏季北大西洋风暴路径的位置,SNAO对欧洲北部的降水、温度、多云天气形成强烈影响。因此,它是欧洲西北部发生夏季气候极端事件的重要影响因素,这些极端事件包括洪水、干旱、酷热。众所周知,厄尔尼诺一南方涛动（ENSO）影响夏季的欧洲气候,但SNAO的年际变化受ENSO的影响很小。在年代际时间尺度上,模拟和观测结果均表明SNAO一定程度上与大西洋多年代涛动（AMO）相关。SNAO变化可以追溯到很久以前,用树轮资料重建的1706年以来SNAO变化可以证实这一点。长期的器测资料,像英格兰中部的温度资料,可验证该重建的正确性。最后,有两种气候模式均能模拟SNAO的目前状况,并预测未来随全球温室气体浓度增加,SNAO指数正位相发展趋势更强,这意味着夏季的欧洲西北部将有长期干旱的可能性。

香山群的解体及地层时代的重新厘定

宁夏一带的香山群,由于各种原因,其时代和地层的划分自建立以来一直处于争论不休的状态。产生这种问题的原因最终聚集在两个问题上的分歧:香山群的地层构造和化石产出部位的沉积构造环境分析上。根据野外的实际观察及前人资料的综合分析,香山群的构造并非成简单的单斜排列,各个单元的沉积也各具特征。其中第一和第三亚群(包括徐家圈组第四段)为秦—祁—贺裂陷槽裂陷初期的产物,分布于盆地的东缘,时代为中寒武—晚寒武世;第二亚群(不含徐家圈组第四段)和第四亚群为裂陷槽裂陷中晚期的产物,主要分布于盆地的西北缘,时代为奥陶纪。结合区域地层的综合分析,提出了早古生代贺兰裂陷盆地的沉积充填模式及地层格架。
