2007年初一次雪后大雾天气过程分析

大雾天气是主要的灾害性天气之一。利用多种观测资料和NCEP再分析资料,分析了2007年1月15日华北和黄淮地区的雪后大雾天气产生的天气背景及其形成的温湿条件和层结特征。结果表明:在这次大雾天气发生时,亚欧大陆中高纬度的环流形势为两槽一脊型,中纬度无明显冷空气活动,南支气流较为平直,天气形势比较稳定。华北和黄淮地区位于入海高压的后部,近地面层有弱的东北风或偏东风,即有利于海洋上暖湿气流的平流输送,又不至于破坏大雾形成的温湿条件。同时,大气层结是绝对稳定的,低层有深厚的逆温层,当暖湿空气平流到温度较低的下垫面上时冷却而形成雾,因而这次大雾天气属于典型的平流雾。这种形势的稳定维持,造成了这次持续时间较长的大范围的大雾天气。另外,华北和黄淮较低的海拔高度,有利于暖湿空气的平流进入,也是大雾形成的重要因子。

Consistency Problem with Tracer Advection in the Atmospheric Model GAMIL

The radon transport test, which is a widely used test case for atmospheric transport models, is carried out to evaluate the tracer advection schemes in the Grid-Point Atmospheric Model of IAP-LASG （GAMIL）. Two of the three available schemes in the model are found to be associated with significant biases in the polar regions and in the upper part of the atmosphere, which implies potentially large errors in the simulation of ozone-like tracers. Theoretical analyses show that inconsistency exists between the advection schemes and the discrete continuity equation in the dynamical core of GAMIL and consequently leads to spurious sources and sinks in the tracer transport equation. The impact of this type of inconsistency is demonstrated by idealized tests and identified as the cause of the aforementioned biases. Other potential effects of this inconsistency are also discussed. Results of this study provide some hints for choosing suitable advection schemes in the GAMIL model. At least for the polax-region-concentrated atmospheric components and the closely correlated chemical species, the Flux-Form Semi-Lagrangian advection scheme produces more reasonable simulations of the large-scale transport processes without significantly increasing the computational expense.     

A diagnostic analysis of the weakening of West Pacific subtropical anticyclone during the period of South China Sea summer monsoon onset in 1998

The onset of South China Sea summer monsoon in 1998 occurred on May 21st. Using the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction reanalysis data, this paper examines the physical process of the weakening of a subtropical anticyclone in West Pacific during the onset period using the Zwack-Okossi vorticity equation. Results show that during the pre-onset period, the positive vorticity advection in front of an upper tropospheric trough was the most dominant physical mechanism for the increase of the cyclonic vorticity on the 850-hPa layer over the South China Sea and its nearby region. The secondary contribution to the increase of the cyclonic vorticity was the warm-air advection. After the onset, the magnitude of the latent-heat warming term rapidly increased and its effect on the increase of the cyclonic vorticity was about the same as the positive-vorticity advection. The adiabatic term and divergence term contributed negatively to the increase of the cyclonic vorticity most of the time. Thus, the positive vorticity advection is the most important physical mechanism for the weakening of the West Pacific subtropical anticyclone over the South China Sea during the onset period.     

Analytical solutions for advective–dispersive solute transport in double‐layered finite porous media

Analytical solutions for advection and dispersion of a conservative solute in a one‐dimensional double‐layered finite porous media are presented. The solutions are applicable to five scenarios that have various combinations of fixed concentration, fixed flux and zero concentration gradient conditions at the inlet and outlet boundaries that provide a wide number of options. Arbitrary initial solute concentration distributions throughout the media can be considered via explicit formulations or numerical integration. The analytical solutions presented have been verified against numerical solutions from a finite‐element‐based approach and an existing closed‐form solution for double‐layered media with an excellent correlation being found in both cases. A practical application pertaining to advective transport induced by consolidation of underlying sediment layers on contaminant movement within a capped contaminated sediment system is presented. Comparison of the calculated concentrations and fluxes with alternative approaches clearly illustrates the need to consider advection processes. Consideration of the different features of contaminant transport due to varying pore‐water velocity fields in primary consolidation and secondary consolidation stages is achieved via the use of non‐uniform initial concentration distributions within the proposed analytical solutions.

一次缓慢东移的黄河气旋暴雨的诊断分析

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和常规气象资料,对2001年6月28-29日发生在河南的一次黄河气旋暴雨过程进行了诊断分析。结果表明：黄河气旋的稳定少动是造成这次暴雨的直接原因,高层辐散与中层正涡度平流对黄河气旋形成和发展起了重要作用。这次过程的水汽主要来自副高东南侧的海上,孟加拉湾的水汽也有一定的贡献。暴雨区的中低层对称不稳定的存在,导致上升运动和水汽输送的加强,造成降水的增幅。     

一次持续稳定的平流雾天气

对１９９７年１２月１７￣１９日出现在北京地区的平流雾进行了天气学分析,认为此次平流雾是在较为稳定的华北地形槽弱辐射的大尺度条件下,罕见的逆温顶盖（γ＝５．８４℃／１００ｍ）牢牢地置饱和湿空气于２３９．４ｍ以下北京这种特殊的地形中;地面中尺度辐合线和时空剖面图上风的脉动所产生的２００ｍ以下的小尺度辐合线引起的辐合抬升,有利于饱和湿空气不断在山前平原和谷地得以补充和聚焦,所有这些是构成这次大雾稳定维持     

南海中部海域障碍层特征及其形成机制

南海中部海域(10°~19°N,108°~122°E)存在显著的季节变化的障碍层.障碍层发生概率夏季最大(52.8%),秋季次之(41.0%),春季最小(10.5%).夏季(2000年8~9月)障碍层最显著,平均厚度约为14.2m;除114°E以东、吕宋岛以西海域为障碍层的多发区外,中南半岛东南海域(12°~14°N,110°~114°E)也存在显著的障碍层;春季(1998年4~6月)和秋季(1998年12月)障碍层平均厚度分别为6.8和11.2m,障碍层多位于114°E以东、吕宋岛以西海域.此外,吕宋岛以西海域(12°~16°N,116°~120°E)及中沙和西沙群岛附近(16°~18°N,110°~116°E)海域障碍层年发生几率超过20%,相对而言,其他海域障碍层年发生几率偏小.降水机制和层结机制分别是南海中部海域春、夏季和秋季障碍层形成的主要原因.其中,降水机制及东南向的Ekman平流较好的解释了春、夏季吕宋岛以西附近海域成为障碍层多发区的原因;此外,强降水是夏季中南半岛东南海域(12°~14°N,110°~114°E)障碍层产生的关键,反气旋涡(暖涡)有助于形成更强的障碍层,上升流对障碍层的影响有待进一步研究.     

中尺度模式MM4对高精度水汽输送#C$算法的敏感性试验

水汽输送的算法精度对中尺度模式的预报能力起有重要作用。本文在MM4的基础上用高精度的平流格式改进模式的水汽输送格式，使改进后的模式包含了对多种高精度的水汽输送格式的选择，如Prather格式和Bott格式。这些格式都是正定的，在理想风场的数值实验中几乎无数值耗散，无计算频散。我们在B网格中央差格式（原MM4中的格式）、Upstream格式和 Prather格式等模式选择项下，对1982年6月的一次梅雨期暴雨过程进行了数值对比实验。结果表明:1）模式的预报能力对水汽输送格式的精度较敏感， 2）高精度的水汽输送格式（Prather格式） 提高了模式对暴雨区、降水场结构、雨团活动的预报能力，较真实地模拟出了尺度较小的降水系统的活动。 高精度的水汽输送算法有助于提高中尺度模式的预报精度。     

2004年冬季华北平原持续大雾天气的诊断分析

利用GTS1型数字式探空仪探测的资料、NCEP 1°×1°的6小时资料和常规观测资料,对2004年冬季华北平原历史上少见的持续大雾天气进行了天气动力学诊断分析。结果表明:华北平原近地面气层900hPa以下的负涡度平流、冷温度平流和弱辐合上升运动引起该层气温下降,900-500hPa的正涡度平流、暖温度平流和辐散下沉运动造成该层气温升高,在上升和下沉运动区的界面层中形成逆温层,逆温层的高度和强度影响雾的形成和状况。夜间辐射热力强迫作用和950hPa以下的微风是大雾形成的动力因子。大雾边界层中存在的水汽饱和层是在特定的环流形势下华北平原低空盛行东和东南向岸气流,将北部海面的水汽向西向北平流到冷近地面气层中的结果。
