北京“7.21”暴雨过程中变形场引起的锋生与倾斜涡度发展诊断分析

从变形场驱动锋生及通过锋生引起倾斜涡度发展的角度对变形场在北京“7.21”暴雨发生、发展过程中的可能作用机制进行了初步探讨。诊断结果发现：北京地区降水产生时,变形向量与等位温线走向一致或有较小夹角,北京地区有较强的变形场局地锋生过程。锋生函数分析发现,变形项对引发暴雨的低层锋生有重要贡献。锋生能够引发大气动力、热力结构的调整,伴随大气锋生过程的高空急流加强和转竖使得北京地区处于高空急流入口区右侧的辐散区中,其带动低层空气辐合,有助于暴雨的加强维持。分析还发现,“7.21”暴雨过程中,垂直涡度存在爆发性发展,尤其是锋面降水阶段,而大气斜压度的增长趋势与垂直涡度增长趋势十分一致。分析全型涡度方程中与变形场有关的斜压度个别变化项发现,与变形场相关的垂直涡度驱动项异常正值区与垂直涡度爆发性增长区相对应,表明变形场在北京“7.21”暴雨过程中对垂直涡度发展有重要贡献。基于变形场沿其压缩轴方向气流汇合的特点,进一步分析了加入水汽作用的水汽通量变形场与暴雨发生、发展的关系。分析结果发现,低层水汽通量变形场的正值区与暴雨具有很强的相关,且水汽通量变形场包含两部分,一部分为比湿平流,其对未来暴雨区位置有很好的指示意义;一部分为变形场项,其对水汽通量变形场分布起主要贡献。     

台风韦森特对季风水汽流的“转运”效应及其对北京“7·21”暴雨的影响

2012年7月21日北京地区遭受了61年以来最大的暴雨,造成了大量的人员伤亡与巨大的财产损失。资料综合分析表明台风韦森特在暴雨发生过程中的水汽输送起到“枢纽”的作用,夏季季风通过台风韦森特在副高的影响下将水汽“转运”至暴雨区。为了验证北京异常暴雨过程中台风韦森特的“转运”效应,利用中尺度数值模式WRF对暴雨过程进行数值模拟,结果表明模式能够较好的模拟出此次降水过程的强度、落区,且暴雨发生过程中的水汽输送亦能够较好的再现。通过设计剔除台风的敏感性试验发现,剔除台风韦森特之后降水强度仅为控制试验的50%。进一步分析表明低纬季风水汽气流通过处于东南沿海的台风韦森特向暴雨区域输送水汽,在此过程中西南气流直接向北京区域的水汽输送减少,而西南气流向台风的水汽输送增加,台风与东侧副热带高压之间的偏南气流向暴雨区的水汽输送明显增强,从而印证了上述西南季风气流—台风涡旋—暴雨环流三个系统之间水汽的“转运”效应。以上结果表明远距离暴雨的发生是一个复杂的过程,不仅反映了中低纬度系统的相互作用,而且揭示出夏季季风水汽流对台风涡旋的水汽输送持续供应也可能是台风远距离异常暴雨发生的关键因素之一。

高原东部及邻近地区空中水汽资源的气候变化特征

利用欧洲中心月平均再分析资料,通过多种统计诊断方法,分析了高原东部及邻近地区空中水汽资源的气候变化特征,结果表明:1958-2001年以来,区域平均的年大气可降水量总体呈减少趋势,减少率为3 kg·m-2·(10a)-1;区域总水汽收入也呈减少趋势,减少率为6×105kg·(10a)-1;夏季风携带的南来水汽在高原东部及邻近地区扩展强度的减弱是整个区域水汽收入减少的主要原因;在全球气候变暖的背景下,源于中高纬地区水汽输送的影响值得关注.对于本文的研究欧洲中心再分析资料是比较适用的,在定性趋势方面得到的结论是可信的.     

A review of the temporal and spatial variability of Arctic and Antarctic atmospheric circulation based upon ERA-40

A survey of the spatial and temporal behavior of the atmospheric general circulation as it relates to both polar regions is presented. The review is based on the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) 40-year reanalysis (ERA-40), updated using ECMWF operational analyses. The analysis spans 1960–2005 in the Northern Hemisphere, but is restricted to 1979–2005 in the Southern Hemisphere because of difficulties experienced by ERA-40 prior to the modern satellite era.The seasonal cycle of atmospheric circulation is illustrated by focusing on winter and summer. The huge circulation contrasts between the land-dominated Northern Hemisphere and the ocean-dominated Southern Hemisphere stand out. The intensification of the North Atlantic Oscillation/Northern Annular Mode and the Southern Annular Mode in DJF is highlighted and likely due to warming of the tropical Indian Ocean. The Arctic frontal zone during northern summer and the semi-annual oscillation throughout the year in the Southern Hemisphere are prominent features of the high latitude circulation in the respective hemispheres.Rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) is used to describe the primary modes of temporal variability affecting both polar regions, especially the links with the tropical forcing. The North Atlantic Oscillation is a key modulator of the atmospheric circulation in the North Atlantic sector, especially in winter, and is the dominant control on the moisture transport into the Arctic Basin. The Pacific-South American teleconnection patterns are primary factors in the high southern latitude circulation variability throughout the year, especially in the Pacific sector of Antarctica where the majority of moisture transport into the continent occurs.     

Modeling coupled THM processes of geological porous media with multiphase flow: Theory and validation against laboratory and field scale experiments

A FEM model for analysis of fully coupled multiphase flow, thermal transport and stress/deformation in geological porous media was developed based on the momentum, mass and energy conservation laws of the continuum mechanics and the averaging approach of the mixture theory over a three phase (solid–liquid–gas) system. Six processes (i.e. stress–strain, water flow, gas flow, vapor flow, heat transport and porosity evolution processes) and their coupling effects are considered, which not only makes the problem well-defined, but renders the governing PDEs closed, complete, compact and compatible. Displacements, pore water pressure, pore gas pressure, pore vapor pressure, temperature and porosity are selected as basic unknowns. The physical phenomena such as phase transition, gas solubility in liquid, thermo-osmosis, moisture transfer and moisture swelling are modeled. As a result, the relative humidity and other related variables in porous media can be evaluated on a sounder physical basis. A three dimensional computer code, THYME3D, was developed, with eight degrees of freedom at each node. The laboratory CEA Mock-up test and the field scale FEBEX benchmark test on bentonite performance assessment for underground nuclear waste repositories were used to validate the numerical model and the software. The coupled THM behaviors of the bentonite barriers were satisfactorily simulated, and the effects and impacts of the governing equations, constitutive relations and property parameters on the coupled THM processes were understood in terms of more straightforward interpretation of physical processes at microscopic scale of the porous media. The work developed enables further in-depth research on fully coupled THM or THMC processes in porous media.     

Media framing of aquaculture

Norway is the world's largest producer of farmed salmon. Aquaculture is the country's second largest export industry and thus vital for employment in coastal areas of Norway. The industry is dependent on public acceptance and good standing in local communities in order to gain access to new sites and to be able to sell its product. Public opinion (and assumptions about public opinion) on aquaculture may influence the industry's framework conditions and policy. Being located in coastal and rural areas, the industry must rely on the media to spread information to the public about the industry. Therefore, the media are an important source of information about farmed salmon, and the way the media present aquaculture issues has an impact on public opinion as well as authorities. This article examines how the aquaculture industry is portrayed in Norwegian newspapers and discusses how media topics and media framing may influence public opinion. The analysis shows that the most frequent topics covered in Norwegian newspapers are connected to the environment, aquaculture industry, and politics, where the concerns about the environment are dominant within the risk frame. The negative images portrayed by the media have a strong agenda-setting force and may skew public opinion to a narrow focus on environmental risks, influencing both the debate's content and the regulators’ increased emphasis on environmental risks. This is strengthened further by the focus on sustainability, where the focus is solely on the dimension of environment, making other sustainability dimensions less prominent in the media coverage.     

“07.08”陕西关中短历时强暴雨水汽条件分析

利用T213资料和地面逐时加密观测资料,对2007年8月8-9日陕西关中短历时强暴雨过程的水汽条件进行了详细的分析。结果表明,关中短历时强暴雨水汽来源于关中周围的高湿区,暴雨期间暴雨区上空水汽浅薄,地面至低层风向快速变化使暴雨区地面到低空湿度经历了减小—突然增加—快速减小的过程,水汽的聚集是通过偏东气流输送实现的,东西向水汽辐合是暴雨区水汽辐合的主要贡献者,北边界水汽的输入、输出和东边界水汽输入的突然增大、减小对暴雨的发生、发展及其结束有一定的指示意义;暴雨中心位于水汽通量大值中心及其下风向的水汽通量辐合中心之间;暴雨区可降水量的大小主要取决于水平水汽通量辐合的大小,水平水汽通量辐合的大小关键在于水平风场形成的辐合大小,而强降水的发生、加强、减弱及消亡与水汽的局地变化和水汽平流的变化关系更加紧密;近地层充足的水汽供应和水汽垂直输送形成的反环流圈使暴雨区水汽、能量迅速增加和抬升,建立了不稳定大气并触发能量释放,强降水开始;反之,形成暴雨的水汽条件不复存在,强降水结束。     

东亚副热带季风雨带建立特征及其降水性质分析

利用1961—2006年NCEP/NCAR再分析数据集和TRMM、CMAP多年平均逐候降水资料,分析了中国东部副热带季风雨季的起始时间、建立特征及其降水性质。结果表明,第16—18候,在中国江南南部和华南北部地区(25°30°N)日降水率达到6 mm/d,且范围较大,在低层该雨带的水汽主要来源于西太平洋副热带高压南侧转向的西南水汽输送,其源地即为西太平洋副热带季风雨季开始。雨带建立同时,东亚副热带地区中东太平洋的纬向海平面气压梯度首先在中纬度发生反转,即西低东高(相应于西暖东冷)。中国东部副热带地区出现加热中心并伴有上升运动,强度逐渐增强,并伸展至对流层顶,其强度及对流高度与热带地区相当,对流层中低层大气呈对流不稳定,降水已具有对流性降水性质。与此同时,南海西太平洋地区仍在副热带高压控制之下,盛行下沉运动,无降水产生,南海夏季风及其相应的水汽输送尚未建立。东亚副热带季风雨带的建立(3月底4月初)早于热带夏季风雨带,两雨带分别具有独立的热源中心和上升运动。南海夏季风即将爆发之际,赤道地区加热中心快速北移至南海地区,与副热带地区热源相互作用。
