神农架林区西南坡局地暴雨过程诊断分析

神农架林区西南坡为局地暴雨灾害多发区。利用常规资料、多普勒雷达资料和区域自动站资料,分析了导致神农架林区西南坡2014年8月6日至7日夜间连续两场短时暴雨过程中MCS发生发展的天气背景及结构特征,并探讨了神农架山区复杂地形构造对西南坡暴雨的增幅作用。结果表明:1)中高层天气系统强迫弱时,副高边缘地面暖低压倒槽及850 h Pa气旋性弯曲区与辐合的发生发展可能是造成这类局地强降水天气的触发系统,地面弱冷空气的入侵有利于降水的维持和加强。2)两次局地暴雨过程均是由中β尺度对流系统影响产生的,降水历时短、强度大,雨区移动呈现局地性,具有明显的中尺度强对流系统特征,分别属前导层状云与尾随层状云中尺度对流系统型。3)第一场暴雨过程以对流降水为主,回波较强;第二场暴雨过程回波质心低且层状云特征比较突出,但维持时间相对较长,降水效率更高。4)神农架西南坡坡度大,海拔高度高,地形的动力抬升和辐合作用促使上升运动加强,地形强迫抬升作用显著不仅对局地对流触发、降水增幅有重要作用,而且会影响中尺度对流系统结构,这可能是神农架林区西南坡暴雨高发的重要原因。     

Conrad Deep, Northern Red Sea: Development of an early stage ocean deep within the axial depression

The northern Red Sea represents a continental rift in its final stage and close to the following stage of seafloor spreading. Ocean deeps within the evaporites of the northern Red Sea seem to accompany this process and are thought to be surface expressions of first seafloor spreading cells. In 1999 during R/V Meteor cruise M44/3 a dense multichannel seismic and hydroacoustic survey was conducted in order to investigate the initial formation process of the Conrad Deep, a young northern Red Sea deep. Three seismic units were differentiated in the uppermost part of the Miocene evaporites and the Plio-Quaternary sediments. A weakness zone within the evaporites, oblique to the main extension direction of the Red Sea, led to a transtension process within the evaporites that opened the deep. Its formation is directly related to the emplacement of magmatic bodies in its vicinity and the focusing of the Red Sea extension to the axial depression. The Conrad Deep is an intra-evaporite basin that cannot be regarded as surficial expression of a basement structure as the low shear strength of the evaporites decouple the sediments from the basement. However, its position and shape in combination with the accompanying geophysical anomalies point to a strong correlation with the Red Sea rifting process.     

Heterogeneous structure of western Nankai seismogenic zone deduced by multichannel reflection data and wide-angle seismic data

The 1946 Nankai earthquake (Ms=8.2) at the forearc region of the western Nankai Trough showed slow slip deformation off Cape Muroto, which did not propagate until the western end of the Nankai seismogenic zone. New seismic investigations show a low-velocity layer (LVL) on the subducting oceanic crust in the coseismic area. Two prestack depth-migrated sections show reflectivity events in the clay-rich boundary layer on the oceanic crust. Narrowly spaced imbricated slices develop in the nonrupture area. The reflective boundary layer indicates probably that underplating develops in the nonrupture area rather than the coseismic area. It is suggested that the friction is larger in the nonrupture area than the coseismic area because of the lack of LVL on the oceanic crust, the well developed underplating and the narrowly spaced imbricated thrusts in the nonrupture area. The topographic high of the oceanic crust with about 50 km width and maximum 3 km height is also revealed and is related to bending and thickening of the oceanic crust, the well developed underplating and the narn spaced imbricated thrusts in the nonrupture area. These structural characters may be the reason why the slow slip deformation did not propagate until the western end of the Nankai seismogenic zone and toward the trough side.

闽西山区“7·22”极端降水过程中尺度对流特征

2015年7月22日福建西部山区经历了一次罕见的极端降水过程,6 h降水量高达254.9 mm,24 h最大降水量达295.5 mm。利用常规天气资料、自动气象站、卫星云图、风廓线雷达以及多普勒天气雷达资料,分析此次过程的中尺度对流系统的环境条件及结构演变特征。分析表明:低空季风槽北抬减弱后的切变和高空高压之间的南北向槽缓慢向东北移动是此次强降雨的主要影响系统,不稳定能量加大、抬升凝结高度和自由对流高度低、大气可降水量大及中等到弱的垂直风切变形成有利于中尺度对流系统发展的环境条件。中尺度对流系统在发展过程中结构发生改变,由线状对流伴随层云（TL/AS）的结构转变为静止后向建立的中尺度对流系统,极端降水出现在静止后向传播阶段。高空冷空气入侵,低空西南急流加强并伴风速辐合,冷暖空气交汇导致中尺度对流系统加强发展,边界层西南气流在有利的喇叭口地形作用下加强抬升,北上受到山脉阻挡形成小涡旋,西北侧对流单体移入后不断加强,对流单体的移动方向和传播方向相反,中尺度对流系统形成静止后向传播,产生列车效应,出现极端降水。     

一次中尺度对流系统的闪电演变特征

利用地面雷电探测网资料、多普勒雷达和卫星资料对一次典型的MCS过程的地闪变化特征进行了分析,结果表明,在系统发展的最初阶段全为负地闪;在MCS的成熟阶段地闪频数一直较高,在10次/min以上,负地闪占绝对优势;在消散阶段,地闪频数急剧下降,同时正地闪所占比例越来越大,甚至超过负地闪。地闪基本出现在<-50℃的云区和前部大的温度梯度区内,集中发生于<-60℃的云区。负地闪主要发生在强对流区(>40 dBz),其持续时间和强对流的维持时间几乎相当,说明负地闪可以很好地指示或有助于识别强对流区;密集的正地闪也与强回波区相对应,而稀疏的正地闪则多发生在系统后部的稳定性降水或云砧部位。同时,在MCS成熟阶段出现高正地闪频数的瞬间突增有可能对应着地面强天气的发生,在强对流天气的临近预报中应予以关注。     

A Study on the Mesoscale Convective Systems during the Summer Monsoon Onset over the South China Sea in 1998 Part Ⅰ: Analysis of Large-Scale Fields for Occurrence and Development of the Mesoscale Convective Systems

The summer monsoon onset over the northern South China Sea (SCS) in May 16-20, 1998 was characterized by the abrupt onset of mesoscale convective activities and rapid increase of precipitation. The possible mechanism for formation of the mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) and related rain belts were revealed through discussing their forming physical conditions under the large-scale background: (1) The high pseudo-equivalent potential temperature and the convective instability in the lower troposphere, the low-level southwesterly confluence and the high-level divergence over South China and the northern SCS provided the favorable large-scale thermodynamic and dynamic conditions for development of MCSs. The southwesterly flow from the Bay of Bengal (BOB) interacted with that to the western flank of the subtropical high, which constituted the major moisture channels, thus bringing about deep wet layers and strong moisture convergence;(2) triggered by several cold troughs from high and mid latitudes, the convectively unstable energy was released and the convective activities over the northern SCS broke out abruptly;(3)analysis of retrieved precipitation based on the dual-Doppler radar during South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) indicated that active convection influenced by the monsoon trough and corresponding wind shear line organized and formed continually some mesoscale convective rainbelts. During May 15-19,about 12 precipitation processes with 6-12-hour life span or more were observed;and (4) under the favorable synoptic conditions, establishment of the monsoon trough and shear line in the low levels, as well as production and development of mesoscale low vortex were all necessary conditions for the formation and maintenance of MCSs.     

滇西北高原一次暴雨过程诊断分析

利用常规资料、自动站降水资料和卫星云图资料分析了2014云南省丽江市首场区域性暴雨过程。结果表明此次过程是高空槽东移引导弱冷空气南下,同时受500 h Pa两高辐合区和700 h Pa切变线共同影响所致;孟加拉湾水汽为此次暴雨过程的主要水汽来源,同时强水汽辐合中心的存在和移动过程经过丽江是此次区域性暴雨形成的主要特征;强降水时段低层辐合高层辐散且有强烈的斜压上升运动;中尺度对流云团的合并及加强,TBB值小于220 K是此次强降水的一个特征。     

一个长生命期准静止中尺度对流系统的观测特征及其持续的环境条件

2010年5月31日至6月1日华南特大暴雨过程经历了三次集中降水期,共有4次MCS（Mesoscale Convective Systems）演变过程,其中一个TL/AS MCS（Training Line/Adjoining Stratiform Mesoscale Convective System,邻接层状单向发展的中尺度对流系统）在广西壮族自治区中部准静止地维持了10多个小时,导致了多个观测站出现极端强降水。用观测资料和数值模拟结果重点探讨了该TL/AS MCS的观测特征及其发展持续的环境条件。结果表明,准静止TL/AS MCS发展在一个高空强辐散、低空气旋性汇合环流的天气尺度环境中,TL/AS MCS维持期间热力环境特征表现为对流层中低层持续高湿近饱和态、偏中性层结、合适的对流有效位能和极小的对流抑制能量。在对流层中低层,低空急流的加强发展维持与对流层中层相对弱的环境风形成了风垂直切变随高度呈现强逆转,近地层风垂直切变垂直于对流线的分量大,而在中层风垂直切变平行于对流线的分量占绝对优势,风切变特征可能是TL/AS MCS 准静止的原因;低空急流和中层环流的相互作用、对流层动力和热力条件有利于强上升运动的长时间维持与发展,不断触发新对流从而组织成一个长生命期准静止的TL/AS MCS     

Modes of Mesoscale Convective System Organization During Meiyu Season over the Yangtze River Basin

Mesoscale convective systems （MCSs） are classified and investigated through a statistical analysis of composite radar reflectivity data and station observations during June and July 2010-2012. The number of linear-mode MCSs is slightly larger than the number of nonlinear-mode MCSs. Eight types of linear-mode MCSs are identified： trailing stratiform MCSs （TS）, leading stratiform MCSs （LS）, training line/adjoining stratiform MCSs （TL/AS）, back-building/quasi-stationary MCSs （BB）, parallel stratiform MCSs （PS）, bro- ken line MCSs （BL）, embedded line MCSs （EL）, and long line MCSs （LL）. Six of these types have been identified in previous studies, but EL and LL MCSs are described for the first time by this study. TS, LS, PS, and BL MCSs are all moving systems, while TL/AS, BB, EL, and LL MCSs are quasi-stationary. The average duration of linear-mode MCSs is more than 7 h. TL/AS and TS MCSs typically have the longest durations. Linear-mode MCSs often develop close to the Yangtze River, especially over low-lying areas and river valleys. The diurnal cycle of MCS initiation over the Yangtze River valley contains multiple peaks. The vertical distribution of environmental wind is decomposed into storm-relative perpendicular and parallel wind components. The environmental wind field is a key factor in determining the organizational mode of a linear-mode MCS.
