NUMERICAL STUDY ON FUNCTIONS AFFECTING TROPICAL CYCLONE STRUCTURE AND MOTION*

By using a beta-plane quasigeostrophic barotropic model,four numerical experiments with integration time more than five days are performed.Results show that the vorticity advection term and beta term are two basic factors significantly affecting tropical cyclone structure and motion.     

ON THE MAINTENANCE OF BLOCKING ANTICYCLONES OF NORTHERN HEMISPHERE-PARTⅠ:QUASI-GEOSTROPHIC POTENTIAL VORTICITY ANALYSIS

Four observed blocking anticyclones in different regions of the Northern Hemisphere are investigated.Analyses show that there exist distinct differences in the maintenance of the time-mean quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity(PV) low in 300 hPa within blocking areas.In two Pacific blocking cases,the PV advection by time-mean flow tends to flow the PV low to northwestern part of the blocking highs,and thus is beneficial to the maintenance of the blockings'strength.The transfer by transient eddies acts to balance the effect of the time-mean flow.In the Atlantic and Alaska blocking cases,however,the advection of mean flow tends to flow the PV low eastward.The PV transfer by transient eddies acts to flow potential vorticity low to the western part of the blocking ridges and also to balance the time-mean flow's effect.Thus,in the latter two cases,it is the transfer by the transient eddies that acts to maintain the blockings.     

辐散风和瞬变的涡度通量的异常对定常波年际异常的强迫作用

研究了１９８２／１９８３年１２—２月对流层上层由辐散风和瞬变的涡度通量所产生的涡度源异常对定常波异常的强迫作用。结果表明，瞬变的涡度通量辐合的异常有抵消或耗散辐散风产生的涡度源异常的趋势；定常波的异常是在这两种强迫力的共同作用下维持的。同时还表明，对１９８２／１９８３年的情况，热带和赤道中东太平洋上的涡度源异常以及中纬度北太平洋上的涡度源异常都对太平洋／北美地区的大气环流异常起了重要的作用。     

A note on the general concept of wave breaking for Rossby and gravity waves

A recently proposed general definition of wave breaking is further discussed, in order to deal with some points on which misunderstanding appears to have arisen. As with surface and internal gravity waves, the classification of Rossby waves into breaking and not breaking is a generic classification based on dynamical considerations, and not a statement about any unique signature or automatically recognizable shape. Nor is it a statement about passive tracers uncorrelated with potential vorticity on isentropic surfaces. A strong motivation for the definition is that proofs of the nonacceleration theorem of wave, mean-flow interaction theory rely, explicitly or implicitly, on a hypothesis that the waves do not break in the sense envisaged.The general definition refers to the qualitative behaviour of a certain set of material contours, namely those, and only those, which would undulate reversibly, with small slopes, under the influence of the waves' restoring mechanism, in those circumstances for which linearized, nondissipative wave theory is a self-consistent approximation to nonlinear reality. The waves' restoring mechanism depends upon the basic-state vertical potential density gradient in the case of gravity waves, and upon the basic-state isentropic gradient of potential vorticity in the case of Rossby waves. In the usual linearized theory of planetary scale Rossby waves on a zonal shear flow, the relevant material contours lie along latitude circles when undisturbed.     

The vorticity and angular momentum budgets of Asian summer monsoon

The study delineates the vorticity and angular momentum balances of Asian summer monsoon during the evolution and established phases. It also elucidates the differences between these balances in the National Centre for Environmental Prediction/National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis and the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (NCMRWF) analysis fields. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysis for a 40 year period (1958-97) and the NCMRWF analysis for a three year (1994-96) period are made use of for the purpose. The time mean summer monsoon circulation is bifurcated into stable mean and transient eddy components and the mean component is elucidated. The generation of vorticity due to stretching of isobars balances most of the vorticity transported out of the monsoon domain during the evolution period. However, during the established period, the transportation by the relative and planetary vorticity components exceeds the generation due to stretching. The effective balancing mechanism is provided by vorticity generation due to sub-grid scale processes. The flux convergence of omega and relative momenta over the monsoon domain is effectively balanced by pressure torque during the evolution and established phases. Nevertheless, the balance is stronger during the established period due to the increase in the strength of circulation. Both the NCMRWF and NCEP fields indicate the mean features related to vorticity and angular momentum budgets realistically. Apart from the oceanic bias (strong circulation over oceans rather than continents), the summer monsoon circulation indicated by the NCEP is feeble compared to NCMRWF. The significant terms in the large-scale budgets of vorticity and angular momentum enunciate this aspect     

一次爆发性气旋的发展与湿位涡关系的研究

通过对一次陆地爆发性气旋的数值模拟与湿位涡的诊断分析发现，气旋的爆发与湿位涡的平流关系密切，气旋的发展并不是在湿位涡中心位于气旋上空时才开始，而是当湿位涡中心位于气旋的后部，并在200hPa对下有明显的倒圆锥形下伸区时，才有利于气旋的发展。当湿位涡中心位于气旋上空时，气旋发展开始减慢。湿位涡局地变化的大小与水平方向位涡梯度的大小有关。湿斜压位涡负值区的上下贯通与气旋发展也有明显的关系。     

运动学涡度的理论与实践

一般剪切作用下,碎斑或顺剪切作用方向向前或逆向旋转向两特征方向或流脊(非旋转方向)靠拢。高应变条件下,二长比大于一特定值的碎斑,当其顺向或逆向旋转至以特征方向为渐近线的双曲线的稳定翼上时,便稳定下来不再旋转。二长比小于该值的碎斑将不断向前旋转。这一特定值位于该双曲线的顶点,相应的临界形态因子(B*)或/和两特征方向间夹角的余弦定义为运动学涡度(Wk)。Wk是确定一相关韧性变形带纯剪切和简单剪切组分相对大小的重要度量,是根据内旋转(涡度)与线应变速率之间的比值而定的数值度量。就变形带而言,一般剪切带的运动学涡度变化为0~1,纯剪切为零,简单剪切为1。这是一非线性尺度,纯剪切和简单剪切各占50%的运动学涡度为0.71,而不是0.5。运动学涡度可通过计算、图解(双曲线网(PHD)、刚性颗粒网(RGN)法、Passchier图解、Wallis图解)、极摩尔圆法和应力或瞬时增量应变方向获得。运动学涡度与有限应变测量相结合很可能是估算一地地壳减薄/伸展量或增厚/缩短量的最佳途径。变形过程中运动学涡度很可能变化,应根据不同时期形成的构造获得相应时期的运动学涡度。     

阿克苏北部暴雨和冰雹湿位涡对比诊断分析

应用湿位涡理论,分别对阿克苏北部2次暴雨和冰雹过程进行诊断分析。结果表明：θse面陡立易导致湿斜压涡度发展,形成θse陡峭密集区,密集区内暴雨和冰雹容易发生;850hPa MPV1〈0和MPV2〉0以及700hPa MPV1〉0和MPV2〈0,易产生暴雨,且MPV1和MPV2数量级相当,即正压过程与斜压过程同样重要。冰雹发生时850hPa MPV1〉0和MPV2〈0,由于影响系统的不同,700hPa MPV1和MPV2分布有所不同,但存在MPV1和MPV2的正负配置,有利于倾斜涡度发展。
