使用FY2卫星TBB资料、NCEP最终分析资料(1°×1°)和中尺度模式WRF,对0601号强台风"珍珠"的"急翘"异常转向路径和内核结构变化进行诊断分析和数值模拟。结果表明:"珍珠"移向变化与环境引导气流和位涡倾向1波分量正异常有关,"急翘"前12小时,环境引导气流向北偏转,位涡倾向1波分量正异常对应着"珍珠"移动方向变化;内核非对称结构发展与环境风垂直切变演变有关,垂直切变使得涡旋倾斜,涡旋倾斜方向出现较强的上升运动,导致"珍珠"内核偏南象限对流活动较强。     

A Diagnostic and Numerical Study on a Rainstorm in South China Induced by a Northward-Propagating Tropical System

A strong cyclonic wind perturbation generated in the northern South China Sea （SCS） moved northward quickly and developed into a mesoscale vortex in southwest Guangdong Province, and then merged with a southward-moving shear line from mid latitudes in the period of 21-22 May 2006, during which three strong mesoscale convective systems （MCSs） formed and brought about torrential rain or even cloudburst in South China. With the 1° ×1° NCEP （National Centers for Environment Prediction） reanalysis data and the Weather and Research Forecast （WRF） mesoscale model, a numerical simulation, a potential vorticity inversion analysis, and some sensitivity experiments are carried out to reveal the formation mechanism of this rainfall event. In the meantime, conventional observations, satellite images, and the WRF model outputs are also utilized to perform a preliminary dynamic and thermodynamic diagnostic analysis of the rainstorm systems. It is found that the torrential rain occurred in favorable synoptic conditions such as warm and moist environment, low lifting condensation level, and high convective instability. The moisture transport by strong southerly winds associated with the rapid northward advance of the cyclonic wind perturbation over the northern SCS provided the warm and moist condition for the formation of the excessive rain. Under the dynamic steering of a southwesterly flow ahead of a north trough and that on the southwest side of the West Pacific subtropical high, the mesoscale vortex （or the cyclonic wind perturbation）, after its genesis, moved northward and brought about enormous rain in most parts of Guangdong Province through providing certain lifting forcing for the triggering of mesoscale convection. During the development of the mesoscale vortex, heavy rainfall was to a certain extent enhanced by the mesoscale topography of the Yunwu Mountain in Guangdong. The effect of the Yunwu Mountain is found to vary under different prevailing wind directions and intensities. The location o     

一次无地面冷空气触发的西南涡特大暴雨分析

利用NCEP 1°×1°的再分析资料对2007年7月17日重庆西部的特大暴雨天气过程的环流背景、主要影响系统--西南涡的演变进行诊断分析.结果表明:(1)在有利的大尺度环流背景配合下,产生此次过程的主要影响系统为西南涡和低空急流,副热带高压的西进北抬为水汽的输送提供了有利的条件;(2)最强降水时段出现在西南涡的最强盛期,垂直螺旋度的大值中心位置和强弱变化与低涡及强降雨的位置和强度有很好的对应关系;(3)在此次过程中虽然无地面冷空气的触发,但由于高层较强的冷平流形成的干冷盖和低层的暖湿气流与强烈的上升运动的极佳配合,使得强对流天气得以发生,高层的干侵入成为此次过程的触发动力;(4)西南低涡上空的不同高度上不同强度的干侵入效应,使得高层高位涡下传,而高层高位涡区的下传和中低层高位涡区的加强,导致西南低涡的气旋性环流加强,降水增强.     

一次α中尺度低涡暴雨的数值模拟

用WRF模式对2007年4月21—22日的一次中α低涡暴雨过程进行了高分辨率模拟,结果表明:(1)该低涡的产生与湖北西部的地形条件有一定的联系,低压倒槽系统为其提供了必要的环流背景,反演自FY-2 C卫星的TBB资料较好地反映了该中α低涡的整个活动过程。(2)对低涡发展最强阶段的动力和热力结构分析表明,低涡右侧为较强的上升运动,而其左侧则为下沉运动,在中低层冷空气上部有南侧暖湿空气上爬造成的次级上升运动;低涡左侧存在较明显的湿斜压锋区,后部则有明显的干冷气切入;南风风量对总体水汽输送的贡献要大于西风风量。(3)WRF模式中NOAH和热扩散陆面方案的对比分析表明,NOAH方案更加有利于低涡中心的发展,因此能够产生较热扩散方案更强的中心区降水,但是这种增强作用主要分布在低涡区附近,其他地区差别不大。     

河南省黄淮气旋暴雨的天气特征及个例诊断

通过对1990-2001年6-8月影响河南省的18个黄淮气旋暴雨个例进行统计得知:影响河南省的黄淮气旋暴雨6月最多,7月次之,8月最少。黄淮气旋暴雨产生有两个源地,一个在河南省三花间略偏南一带,另一个在河南省南部和湖北的交界处,气旋的形成与两地向东开口的喇叭口地形有关。黄淮气旋暴雨发生前24-12 h,地面图上影响系统可分为西路冷空气影响型和倒槽顶部发展型两种;高空图上,河南多受高压脊控制,700 hPa影响系统有"人"字型切变和低槽型两种,但与地面影响系统没有直接对应关系。为了进一步揭示黄淮气旋暴雨的发生机理,利用NCEP再分析资料,对2007年7月12-15日黄淮气旋引发的暴雨天气过程进行了诊断分析,结果表明:黄淮气旋暴雨的发生、发展是大气斜压性强烈发展的结果,500 hPa高空急流和700 hPa低涡的移动方向对地面气旋的移动有引导作用。     

Roll Vortices in the Boundary Layer Caused by a Concave Wind Profile: A Theoretical Study

The present study solves a two-layer atmospheric wave equation model with a lower atmosphere concave wind profile and cold-air outbreak over sea, while simultaneously proving that such a wind shear may cause neutral boundary layer roll vortices in the presence of disturbing sources upstream. Without thermal effects, the wind shear-induced waves have band structures at the top of the boundary layer that are similar to cloud street patterns observed over sea. This study proves that dynamic and thermal effects can act independently to initiate the roll vortices in the lower atmosphere. At the same time, a quantitative comparison shows that dynamic effects play a large role in the formation of roll vortices in the initial stage of cold-air outbreak and will be surpassed by thermal effects soon after surface heating commences.     

重庆2008年7月21日强对流天气成因及其特征

对2008年7月21日重庆市一次强对流天气过程进行诊断分析,通过分析天气背景,雷达回波,并应用四维变分同化方法反演风场,研究了强对流天气的发展机制.结果表明:高层冷空气入侵和中低层低涡系统强盛的暖湿气流形成的辐合切变是发生强对流的主要原因.雷达观测具有明显的弱回波区和"逆风区";反演水平风场表现为低层强回波前部有一条辐合上升带,到中层辐合上升带与强回波区重合,高层则对应辐散区;从风场的垂直剖面来看,强对流后部为入流区,到达中部后,形成强烈的上升气流,低层辐合带和强烈的上升气流形成强回波.在前部弱回波区处存在强降水下落形成的出流,该气流与暖湿气流辐合造成了浅薄的出流边界.     

基于螺旋度和非地转湿Q矢量的一次东移高原低涡强降水过程分析

利用NCEP 1°×1°再分析资料以及常规观测的地面和高空资料,应用螺旋度和非地转湿Q矢量原理,对2000年7月9～15日一例东移高原低涡产生强降水过程进行了天气动力学诊断分析.结果表明:500 bPa z-螺旋度水平分布对低涡中心的移动、降水落区和强降水中心的分布具有较好指示性,强降水中心发生在500 hPa z-螺旋度梯度值最大的区域.z-螺旋度分布能较好地反映暴雨发生时大气的动力学特征,暴雨区上空,高层负涡度辐散与低层正涡度辐合相配合,是触发暴雨的动力机制.相对螺旋度更能全面地反映降水落区及降水中心分布情况,并对未来6 h后的降水落区及走向具有较好的预报性,强降水中心发生在相对螺旋度正、负中心连线梯度最大值的正值一侧.低层非地转湿Q矢量散度的辐合区与降水区相对应,辐合中心与强降水中心基本吻合,是降水落区定性诊断分析的有力工具;湿Q矢量散度的垂直分布对未来6 h降水的落区和移动预报提供了很好的参考信息.

Evolution of astrophysical jets generated by a vortex mechanism

The nonlinear dynamics of a rotating jet is examined following its ejection from a compact gravitating object by a vortex mechanism. A scenario is described in which a dense stream expands and is subsequently transformed into a nonstationary vortex consisting of a cylindrical core and a “sheath.” At this stage of development, a converging radial flow of matter in the differentially rotating nonuniform sheath collimates the jet and speeds up the rotation of the core, as well as the flow of matter along the jet, in accordance with a power law or “explosive” instability, until the velocity discontinuity at the surface of the core approaches the sound speed. Flows of this type have low energy dissipation and can serve as unique channels for the acceleration and collimation of jet eruptions from young stars, active galactic nuclei, and quasars.
