2018年一次罕见早春飑线大风过程演变和机理分析

2018年3月4—5日,华南、江南等地发生了一次大范围强对流过程,发生时间早,落区范围广,多地伴有雷暴大风、冰雹、短时强降水等剧烈对流天气,尤其飑线在江西境内造成了严重大风灾害。基于大气环流和雷达回波发展演变特征,将该次过程分为初始、发展和减弱三个阶段：初始阶段西风槽前西南急流造成的低压倒槽为强对流提供大尺度触发条件;发展阶段对流活动位于槽前暖区中,飑线在江西造成极端大风;入夜后,冷锋南下,对流进入减弱阶段。环境场及对流参数诊断表明江西中北部低层高温高湿,中层干冷,温度垂直递减率大,有利于产生雷暴大风。南昌探空长时间序列分析表明温湿要素气候态异常,与历史同期比,低层明显偏暖偏湿,中层偏干,有利于极端对流天气发生。综合多源观测资料和雷达资料分析中小尺度特征,本次江西飑线过程特点及成因包括：（1）受引导气流和前向传播共同作用,飑线移动速度快。（2）自动站分析显示飑锋后雷暴高压强,与锋前暖低压作用造成强密度流,有利于产生大范围直线型大风;（3）通过对比飑线弓状回波南北段回波结构差异表明,飑线后侧中层干后向入流促使降水粒子相变,剧烈降温形成的强下沉运动(下击暴流)是导致极端大风的主要原因,后部层云区下沉气流增强雷暴高压加之动量下传作用对雷暴大风有增幅作用。     

基于微波辐射计的短时强降水潜势预报

微波辐射计可获取高时间分辨率的大气层结信息,为探索其在短时强降水预报方面的应用潜力,利用微波辐射计仪器获得对流参数特征,提取对短时强降水敏感的对流参数作为预报因子,并利用叠套法建立短时强降水潜势预报.结果表明:液态水路径LWP、SI、LI、CAPE、KOI这5种参数可作为预报因子建立潜势预报,经验证后得出短时强降水的P...     

特提斯洋壳在青藏隆升中所起的作用

地幔对流使特提斯洋壳显示为刚性的整体性,并以“抽屉式”插入到青藏陆壳之下,使之第一次隆升,之后受四川盆地,鄂尔多斯盆地和柴达木盆地刚性地块的阻抗,发生强烈的褶,断,叠作用,使青藏陆壳第二次隆升,同时,莫霍面下沉,褶断,从而形成了今天整个青藏高原的地质特征和地理形态。     

渤海海效应暴雪的三维热力结构特征

采用烟台多普勒天气雷达、天气图等观测资料和中尺度模式(RAMS4.4)进行数值模拟,分析了2008年12月4~6日发生的一次海效应暴雪的时空分布和三维热力结构特征。结果表明:(1)渤海海效应降雪并非传统认为的仅发生在蓬莱以东的山东半岛地区,而是广泛分布于山东半岛、莱州湾、渤海中东部和黄海西部洋面上;降雪源地有暖海面和陆地,即莱州湾、渤海中部至渤海海峡和山东半岛。(2)浅层对流是海效应降雪的重要热力特征,当强冷空气流经渤海时,暖海面通过湍流交换等作用向冷空气底层输送感热和潜热,使得低层增温增湿,产生对流层中上层干冷低层暖湿的对流性不稳定。(3)冷空气的强弱影响渤海暖海面及山东半岛地区的垂直热力结构,导致降雪强度在不同时段存在显著差异。海气温差与热通量成正比,初期冷空气弱,对流层中低层的垂直温差小,海面上空的暖湿层浅薄,不稳定能量弱,产生的降雪量小;中后期冷空气强盛,对流层中低层的垂直温差大,暖湿层较为深厚,不稳定能量增强,导致降雪强度和降雪量大。(4)与单一要素温度和湿度相比,对流层低层相当位温的水平分布对强降雪落区具有更好的指示意义,强降雪发生在高相当位温脊线附近。

Large-scale convective dynamos in a stratified rotating plane layer

We study the effect of stratification on large-scale dynamo action in convecting fluids in the presence of background rotation. The fluid is confined between two horizontal planes and both boundaries are impermeable, stress-free and perfectly conducting. An asymptotic analysis is performed in the limit of rapid rotation (τ???1 where τ is the Taylor number). We analyse asymptotic magnetic dynamo solutions in rapidly rotating systems generalising the results of Soward [A convection-driven dynamo I. The weak field case. Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. A 1974, 275, 611–651] to include the effects of compressibility. We find that in general the presence of stratification delays the efficiency of large-scale dynamo action in this regime, leading to a reduction of the onset of dynamo action and in the nonlinear regime a diminution of the large-scale magnetic energy for flows with the same kinetic energy.     

A nonlinear stability analysis of convection in a generalized incompressible fluid

Abstract

We establish a nonlinear stability result for convection in a generalized incompressible fluid. Both numerical calculations and an asymptotic analysis are carried out. The linear and nonlinear results are shown to be very close in both cases, implying that the region of possible subcritical instabilities is very small.

Two-and three-dimensional linear convection in a rotating annulus

Abstract

An exceptional case to the model-independent theory of Knobloch (1995) is presented, by investigating a rotating cylindrical annulus of height H and side wall radii r _o and r _i, with non-slip, perfectly thermally conducting side walls and thermally insulating stress-free ends. Radial heating permits the possibility of either two- or three-dimensional convective solutions being the preferred mode. An analytical solution is obtained for the two-dimensional case and a numerical solution for the three-dimensional solution, which is also applied to the two-dimensional solution. It is shown that both two- and three-dimensional solutions can be realized depending on the aspect ratio, γ = H/d, where d = r _o-r _i is the thickness of the annulus, the radii ratio λ = r _i/r _o and the rotation rate of the model. For γ = O(1) and λ = 0.4, the preferred convective solution is three-dimensional when the Taylor number, T < 10² and two-dimensional for T > 10². For small aspect ratios, γ ? 1, the preferred mode is two-dimensional for all rotation rates.     

Some remarks on cumulus parameterization

A simple parameterization of cumulonimbus convective heating is presented. The model is primarily based on preserving a moisture budget and on detraining cloud air at levels corresponding to the neutral buoyancy of the air converged at low levels. Results are compared with data from the western Pacific and GATE. Agreement is good. Suggestions are offered for improving the model and extending it to other regions.
