登陆广东北上路径热带气旋强降水的分布特征

利用1981-2018年中国气象局上海台风研究所热带气旋最佳路径资料和国家基本气象站逐日降水资料,对登陆广东北上路径热带气旋活动及强降水特征进行统计分析.结果表明北上热带气旋从登陆时到登陆后48 h是陆地强降水产生的集中时段,登陆时24 h是陆地大暴雨最集中的时段.强降水从沿海向内陆逐渐减少,一般登陆后热带气旋持续时间...     

夏季青藏高原大气热源分布特征与对中国降水的影响

利用NECP/NCAR月平均再分析资料,研究1951～2010年夏季青藏高原主体大气热源分布、对东亚地区的环流影响及其与同期中国降水的关系.针对高原加热局地特征明显的特点,采用旋转经验正交函数等方法探讨不同类型的热源分布以及对东亚地区大气环流的影响.结果表明,当加热中心位于高原东南侧时,青藏高原夏季风加强,南亚高压偏南偏东,西太平洋副热带高压西伸加强,而东亚中高纬地区两脊一槽的经向环流分布形势明显,有利于中国长江流域的降水而不利于华南华北的降水发展.当加热中心位于高原中北部与西南地区时,青藏高原夏季风减弱,南亚高压偏西,西太副高明显偏东偏弱,中高纬环流的纬向特征明显,有利于中国地区北方降水而不利于南方地区的降水.     

Cultural climatology and the representation of sky, atmosphere, weather and climate in selected art works of Constable, Monet and Eliasson

The visual turn presents new challenges and methodologies for the pursuit of geography as we seek to communicate our ideas and understanding within and beyond the discipline. This paper attempts to show the potential importance of visual culture within a field that we may call cultural climatology. Cultural climatology seeks to explore the dialectic between society and atmosphere, weather and climate at a variety of temporal and spatial scales. A new visual approach to cultural climatology is presented as a possible way of stimulating conversations across the divide between the social and physical sciences. Images and visualisation assert their presence in the understanding, modelling and communication of many nature/culture debates, highlighting a need both for visual literacy across geography, and for social and physical scientists to share their visual methodologies. Cultural climatologists, like other scientists, need visual methodologies for both the critical construction and deconstruction of the images they wish to present and with which they are confronted. To illustrate the importance of visual literacy for cultural climatologists this paper introduces a sample of works from three artists: Constable, Monet and Eliasson. It shows how an exploration of their work (via a theory of pictures) could help to provide: firstly a methodology for understanding the cultural symbolism of skies and weather; secondly an assessment of the urban atmosphere in London at the turn of the 20th century and thirdly an example of the effective representation of atmosphere, weather and climate involving public participation and understanding. Lessons learned from deconstructing these works of art will then be used to suggest improvements in the visualisation of weather in the production and consumption of weather forecasts (thus, picturing theory).     

2008年广东罕见寒冷灾害的特点、影响及防寒减灾对策

2008年1月,广东遭遇了历史罕见的寒冷灾害。此次寒冷灾害具有持续时间长、平均气温低、雨水多日照少、范围广等特点。大气环流异常和拉尼娜事件是造成寒冷灾害的主要原因。这场寒冷灾害给广东春运、能源电力、农业、林业、居民生活、旅游等造成了极大的影响。防寒减灾应采取强化寒冷灾害防范、加强寒冷灾害综合监测、提高全球气候变暖背景下寒冷灾害预测预报水平、努力拓宽寒冷灾害预警信息发布渠道、切实增强寒冷灾害应急处置能力等对策措施。     

Spatial distribution of tropical cyclone rainfall and its contribution to the climatology of Puerto Rico

This study explores two different tropical cyclone rainfall (TCR) problems: first, the identification of areas where TCR is highly concentrated and, second, the contribution of tropical cyclones (TCs) to the climatology of Puerto Rico for the period 1970–2010. A total of 86 storms within a 500-km radius of Puerto Rico were analyzed. Daily and monthly rainfall data from 32 weather stations were used to generate interpolated surfaces. Two geostatistical interpolation techniques were implemented: ordinary kriging and ordinary cokriging. Results show that rainfall from most TCs tends to be clustered in the eastern, southeastern, and central regions of the island, with a decrease in values toward the west. TCs closer to Puerto Rico (≤230 km) and embedded in high moisture environments (≥44.5 mm) exhibited the highest rainfall values, with most concentrated in the high elevation areas of the southeastern region of the island. Months with the largest TC contributions to rainfall (20–30%) were August and September, while the lowest contributions were found in June and November. For August, stations in the southern and eastern portions of the island had TCR contributions of >20%, with some stations in the southern coastal plains exhibiting 30%.     

云浮高温天气及其环流形势统计与分析

为加深对云浮高温天气特征的认识,对云浮地区1981—2010年高温天气及其与副高、热带气旋之间关系进行统计分析。结果表明:云浮地区年高温天气大体呈增加趋势,测站局地环境不一致导致各测站高温天气年变化的并不一致。云浮地区高温天气主要出现在6—8月,7月最多,8月次之。云浮地区高温环流形势可分为4类:副高型、台风Ⅰ型、台风Ⅱ型和其它型。500 hPa位势高度(台风强度)与云浮地区台风I型(台风Ⅱ型)高温的关系不明显。500 hPa位势高度较高有利于台风Ⅱ型、副高型、其它型高温的发生发展。500 hPa位势高度大值中心位于测站以北(以西)有利于台风II型(其它型)高温发生发展,位于测站以东时副高型高温较多,位于测站东南则不利于高温天气发生发展。台风中心位于测站东北、东、东南三个方位,台风中心与测站距离600~1 600 km,台风强度在TS及以上时,有利于台风I型高温的发生发展。台风中心位于测站东方方位,台风中心与测站距离1 600~2 200 km,有利于台风Ⅱ型高温的发生发展。     

A 14-year monthly climatology and trend in the 35–65 km altitude range from Rayleigh Lidar temperature measurements at a low latitude station

A sodium resonance lidar at 589 nm has been operated in São José dos Campos, Brazil (23°S, 46°W) since 1972 mainly for studies related to the origin, chemistry and dynamics of the mesospheric sodium layer. Beginning in 1993, the improved laser capability has also enabled the processing of the Rayleigh signal from which the temperatures from 35 to 65 km are retrieved on a nightly mean basis. We used these nightly profiles to determine the monthly temperature profiles from 1993 to 2006. The mean temperature characteristics for each year and for the whole period are obtained. Seasonal thermal amplitude is small (6 K peak to peak at 40 and 60 km). Compared with the MSISE-90 model, a large difference is noted, with temperature lower than the model below the stratopause and higher above. Also the seasonal variation has a large difference with better agreement occurring around local winter, but with temperatures higher by 8–10 K at the equinoxes. The semiannual component is dominant over the annual at all altitudes. Linear trends with decreasing temperature of 1.09, 2.29 and 1.42 K/decade are observed at 40, 50 and 60 km, respectively.     

厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜事件对江门市气候变化的影响

通过对江门市6个国家地面气象观测站1962—2016年近55年的降水和气温资料、1962—2016年发生的厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜事件,采用统计学方法进行分析,以研究厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜事件对江门市气候的影响。结果表明:近55年来江门市的年降水量和气温都呈现波动上升的趋势;当厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜事件发生时对江门市的年降水量、暴雨日数都有增多的作用,但厄尔尼诺事件发生年份增大幅度较大;拉尼娜事件发生时,江门市气温总体是略偏低的;在总体气候处于暖期,厄尔尼诺事件发生时,江门市的气温是偏高的,且厄尔尼诺事件的强度越强,年平均气温偏高幅度越大。     

A new global ocean hydrographic climatology

This report describes the main features of the recently published World Ocean Experiment–Argo Global Hydrographic Climatology. This climatology is based on profile data from ships, Argo floats, and sensors attached to marine mammals. As an important deviation from the widely used climatologies produced previously by the National Oceanographic Data Center, the spatial interpolation was performed on local potential density surfaces, so that no ‘artificial water masses’ were created. In addition to monthly fields of temperature and salinity, gridded maps of the upper mixed layer depth are now provided.
