东北冷涡的特征、影响及其可能机制的研究

对东北冷涡的天气气候特征及其影响和可能机制进行了回顾与综述。关于东北冷涡的研究主要经历了三个阶段:天气学分析阶段、诊断分析和数值模拟阶段以及东北冷涡的气候效应研究阶段。为了研究东北冷涡的变化及其对我国天气气候的影响,定量表征东北冷涡是一项重要的基础性工作。提出可以利用计算机自动识别东北冷涡过程的持续时间、中心强度(高度场、温度场)及活动区域等特征参数,并由此建立冷涡综合指数,以便更加客观、全面地表征东北冷涡,有利于在实际工作中应用。     

1979~2015年青藏高原低涡降水特征分析

为了研究青藏高原低涡降水长期特征,利用1979~2015年高原低涡数据集、依照高原低涡降水范围,匹配高原各站逐日降水信息,对高原低涡降水特征进行统计分析。结果表明,青藏高原低涡降水量呈上升趋势,大值中心位于西藏那曲地区,呈向东南凸出递减分布,并以夏季低涡降水为主,全年和夏季高原低涡降水量与总降水量均存在明显的正相关关系。安多站高原低涡降水呈下降趋势,但对年降水的平均贡献率高达三成;那曲站与托托河站高原低涡降水在总体上却呈上升趋势,递增率分别为0.2 mm/a和0.7 mm/a,其中那曲低涡频数与低涡降水强度的正相关系数达0.66,而托托河低涡降水占总降水的百分比却呈下降趋势。高原低涡日降水量等级主要以小雨为主,但中雨却是低涡降水量的主要贡献者。趋势分析发现高原低涡降水递增中心位于青海北部,递增率达到0.9 mm/a,次中心在西藏西南部雅鲁藏布江沿线地区;同时,高原低涡引发小雨降水基本呈全区一致增加趋势,中心位于西藏东北部和青海西南部地区;中雨降水上升趋势主要集中在西藏西南部、青海地区以及四川西部,其中青海南部存在较为明显上升中心区,下降趋势主要分布在西藏北部和东部。

西北区域几次暴雨过程中的自组织现象

通过涡旋自组织动力学方法对西北地区几次暴雨过程进行了分析,得到了一些暴雨过程中降水云团自组织预报的判据和指标：（1）产生暴雨的云团发展演变大都经历了由无组织到有组织、由不规则云形到有规则云形的过程;（2）造成甘肃暴雨过程的降水云团一般由2～4个范围在35km×35km左右的小云团合并而成,合并过程一般为两两合并,范围在...     

2012年7月21日北京特大暴雨的多尺度特征

本文采用观测和NCEP分析场资料对2012年7月21日发生在北京地区的特大暴雨过程的天气形势、水汽来源和中尺度对流系统的特征进行了研究。结果如下:“7.21”北京暴雨过程是高低空与中低纬系统共同配合的结果,暴雨发生在“东高西低”的环流形势下,低涡、切变线、低槽冷锋和低空急流为此次过程的主要影响天气系统;孟加拉湾至西太平洋地区热带辐合带(ITCZ)活跃,其中热带气旋的活动有利于水汽向东亚大陆输送,此次暴雨过程中华北地区的水汽源地包括孟加拉湾和我国东部的渤海、黄海等,低层的水汽主要来自东部,中层的水汽主要来自孟加拉湾;北京的强降雨有两段,第1段降雨虽然发生在冷锋前,但有明显冷空气的侵入,并与地形和东风的作用有关,第2段降雨对流的组织和增强与冷锋强迫相关。在有利环境下,中尺度对流系统频繁发生发展,持续时间长,且稳定少动是此次特大暴雨形成的重要原因。     

Vortex triplets in dusty plasma with sheared flow and magnetic fields

Localized quasi-stationary rotational structures on the dust time scale in low-β dusty plasmas involving sheared flow and magnetic fields are investigated. For self-consistent equilibrium density, flow, and magnetic field profiles, solution in the form of a localized vortex triplet is obtained and its properties investigated. The magnitude of the electrostatic potential of the vortex structure increases with the velocity and magnetic shear.     

Parallel comparison of the northern winter stratospheric circulation in reanalysis and in CMIP5 models

A parallel comparison is made of the circulation climatology and the leading oscillation mode of the northern winter stratosphere among six reanalysis products and 24 CMIP5(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) models. The results reveal that the NCEP/NCAR, NECP/DOE, ERA40, ERA-Interim and JRA25 reanalyses are quite consistent in describing the climatology and annual cycle of the stratospheric circulation. The 20 CR reanalysis, however, exhibits a remarkable"cold pole" bias accompanied by a much stronger stratospheric polar jet, similar as in some CMIP5 models. Compared to the1–2 month seasonal drift in most coupled general circulation models(GCMs), the seasonal cycle of the stratospheric zonal wind in most earth system models(ESMs) agrees very well with reanalysis. Similar to the climatology, the amplitude of Polar Vortex Oscillation(PVO) events also varies among CMIP5 models. The PVO amplitude in most GCMs is relatively weaker than in reanalysis, while that in most of the ESMs is more realistic. In relation to the "cold pole" bias and the weaker oscillation in some CMIP5 GCMs, the frequency of PVO events is significantly underestimated by CMIP5 GCMs; while in most ESMs, it is comparable to that in reanalysis. The PVO events in reanalysis(except in 20CR) mainly occur from mid-winter to early spring(January–March); but in some of the CMIP5 models, a 1–2 month delay exists, especially in most of the CMIP5 GCMs. The long-term trend of the PVO time series does not correspond to long-term changes in the frequency of PVO events in most of the CMIP5 models.     

Numerical evaluation of passive control of VIV by small control rods

Flow past a circular cylinder with multiple small control rods is studied by numerical simulation for Re_D ranging from 1161.3 to 6387.1. The Reynolds-Averaged-Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations and shear stress transport (SST) k − ω turbulence model are used to calculate the vortex field, while a fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is employed for evaluating the structure dynamics of the cylinder group. Comparisons with experimental results demonstrate the validation of this method. This study is concerned with the vortex induced vibration (VIV) suppression efficacy of small control rods placed around a main cylinder. The effects of control rod number, diameter ratio, spacing ratio and Reynolds number on the hydrodynamics and vibration responses of the main cylinder are investigated. The reduced percents of in-line and cross-flow amplitudes and the increased percents of the whole cross-sectional area of cylinders and the drag coefficient are used to give a comprehensive evaluation. Results of simulation indicate that placing small rods with appropriate number at appropriate locations can achieve good suppression effectiveness at a wide range of Reynolds number. The numerical result for the case with nine control rods, diameter ratio of 0.15 and spacing ratio of 0.6 shows the best suppression effect among the cases investigated in this study.     

A Formal Theory for Vortex Rossby Waves and Vortex Evolution

A formal theory is presented for the balanced evolution of a small-amplitude, small-scale wave field in the presence of an axisymmetric vortex initially in gradient-wind balance and the accompanying changes induced in the vortex by the azimuthally averaged wave fluxes. The theory is a multi-parameter, asymptotic perturbation expansion for the conservative, rotating, f-plane, shallow-water equations. It extends previous work on Rossby-wave dynamics in vortices and more generally provides a new perspective on wave/mean-flow interaction in finite Rossby-number regimes. Some illustrative solutions are presented for a perturbed vortex undergoing axisymmetrization.
