0414号台风"云娜"登陆后西折路径和陆上维持机制的诊断分析

2004年第14号台风“云娜”在浙江省温岭市石塘镇登陆,针对登陆后的两大预报难点--路径突然西折和陆上长久维持,进行了研究分析.结果表明：台风登陆后的明显西折是由于副高突然加强造成的,地面3h变压、涡度变量、东西风分量变量等物理量对短期台风路径预报非常有用.台风陆上的长久维持与低空水汽通道的连结、高空流出气流的强辐散、登陆后的移向和特殊的下垫面等密切相关.     

Winnie(1997)和Bilis(2000)变性过程的湿位涡分析

9711号台风Winnie和0010号台风Bills均在中国大陆发生变性,但前者变性后再度加强,而后者变性后减弱消亡。从湿位涡理论出发,对比分析两者的变性过程,结果表明：作为变性台风,Winnie和Bilis均在北上过程中与中纬度西风槽发生作用,但前者与高空槽发生耦合,后者仅接近高空槽底部,没有发生耦合;Winnie变性加强过程表现为一个温带气旋在低层锋区上的强烈发展过程,主要与高层正位涡扰动下传、低层锋区及热带气旋低压环流之间的相互作用有关。Pm湿斜压项增长引起的倾斜涡度发展是登陆热带气旋变性加强的主要因子。在Bills变性过程中,高层无明显的正位涡扰动下传,热带气旋低压环流内无锋区面出现,大气斜压性弱且变化不明显。     

台风“利奇马”登陆前后雨带强度与结构变化特征分析

利用GPM卫星3-IMERGM产品、NCEP/NCAR逐6 h水平分辨率0. 25°×0. 25°的再分析资料和后向追踪轨迹模拟技术,对"利奇马"登陆前后降水结构特征及雨带强度变化成因展开分析。研究发现:登陆前强雨带非对称分布与垂直风切变作用密切相关;临近登陆风切减弱,强雨区趋向环流向岸侧。轴对称环状降水率先后出现收缩和扩展,雨带强度经历两增两减变化。其中登陆前雨带增强发生在南亚高压和副热带高压加强、垂直风切持续减弱的有利环境背景下;浙闽沿海离岸风和中心西侧次级环流形成促进了对流雨带发展;"罗莎"台风外围北侧偏东气流为雨带提供有利水汽输送。登陆时刻雨强减弱发生在南压高压、副热带高压及"罗莎"北侧偏东风减弱背景下。雨强变化与水汽通量散度呈正相关,与垂直风切变呈反相关,整层可降水量增大相对降水率峰值有6 h左右提前量。     

基于路径相似的登陆热带气旋降水之动力-统计集合预报模型

数值天气预报(NWP)过去几十年在热带气旋(TC)预报方面的最大进步是越来越准确的路径预报。对于登陆TC降水的预报,目前以数值模式为代表的技术手段预报能力还十分有限。围绕动力-统计结合之方法研究,初步发展了登陆热带气旋降水(LTP)预报的一种新方法:基于路径相似的登陆热带气旋降水之动力统计集合预报(LTP_DSEF)模型。该方法主要分为五步:TC路径预报、相似路径TC识别、其他特征相似性的判别、TC降水集合预报和最佳预报方案选择;涉及两个关键技术:TC降水分离的客观天气图分析法(OSAT)和TC路径相似面积指数(TSAI)。LTP DSEF模型对2012-2016年影响华南地区出现最大日降水量≥100 mm的21个TC的定量降水预报(QPF)试验结果显示,该模型对登陆TC过程降水的预报结果优于动力模式。登陆TC过程降水≥50 mm情况下,建模样本和独立样本平均TS评分均高于动力模式(EC、GFS、T639)相应的最好表现。对LTP_DSEF模型三个最佳方案的参数取值分析显示,起报时刻参数设定为最临近影响时刻即TC对陆地产生降水的前一天12:00 UTC、集合参数取最大值时预报效果稳定趋好。     

地形和边界层摩擦对登陆热带气旋路径和强度影响的研究

采用准地转的正压模式, 研究了无非绝热加热时地形和边界层摩擦对登陆热带气旋路径和强度的影响.结果表明: 地形作用对登陆热带气旋西北移动路径的影响比较明显, 而对登陆热带气旋强度的影响不明显; 边界层摩擦可以通过改变热带气旋X方向上和Y方向上的移动速度以及改变热带气旋水平环流结构对登陆热带气旋西北移动路径产生一定的影响, 边界层摩擦对登陆热带气旋强度的影响非常明显, 其中摩擦是造成登陆热带气旋强度迅速减弱的一个重要因素.     

用支持向量机方法做登陆热带气旋站点大风预报

将支持向量机（SVM）回归方法应用于在登陆热带气旋影响下,每天00、06、12、18 UTC 4时次2分钟平均的站点风速预报。从2002-2007年热带气旋本身强度、站点地形情况和站点附近高低空环境场要素,设计相关因子,建立了4种预报模式,其中模式4的风速拟合误差的标准差为1.591 m·s~（-1）。用2008年8个登录热带气旋做独立样本检验,预报风速与实际风速的平均绝对值误差为1.750 m·s~（-1）,标准差为2.367 m·s~（-1）。结果表明,在适当的样本截取和预报因子选取后,SVM方法建模的风速预报48小时内效果较好。     

IMPACTS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF ENSO ON LANDFALLING TROPICAL CYCLONES IN CHINA

Interannual variability of landfalling tropical cyclones(TCs) in China during 1960-2010 is investigated.By using the method of partial least squares regression(PLS-regression),canonical ENSO and ENSO Modoki are identified to be the factors that contribute to the interannual variability of landfalling TCs.El Ni o Modoki years are associated with a greater-than-average frequency of landfalling TCs in China,but reversed in canonical El Ni o years.Significant difference in genesis locations of landfalling TCs in China for the two kinds of El Ni o phases occurs dominantly in the northern tropical western North Pacific(WNP).The patterns of low-level circulation anomalies and outgoing longwave radiation(OLR) anomalies associated with landfalling TC genesis with different types of El Ni o phases are examined.During canonical El Ni o years,a broad zonal band of positive OLR anomalies dominates the tropical WNP,while the circulation anomalies exhibit a meridionally symmetrical dipole pattern with an anticyclonic anomaly in the subtropics and a cyclonic anomaly near the tropics.In El Ni o Modoki years,a vast region of negative OLR anomalies,roughly to the south of 25°N with a strong large-scale cyclonic anomaly over the tropical WNP,provides a more favorable condition for landfalling TC genesis compared to its counterpart during canonical El Ni o years.For more landfalling TCs formed in the northern tropical WNP in El Ni o Modoki years,there are more TCs making landfall on the northern coast of China in El Ni o Modoki years than in canonical El Ni o years.The number of landfalling TCs is slightly above normal in canonical La Ni a years.Enhanced convection is found in the South China Sea(SCS) and the west of the tropical WNP,which results in landfalling TCs forming more westward in canonical La Ni a years.During La Ni a Modoki years,the landfalling TC frequency are below normal,owing to an unfavorable condition for TC genesis persisting in a broad zonal band from 5°N to 25°N.Since the western North Pacific subtropical high(WNPSH) in La Ni a Modoki years is located in the westernmost region,TCs mainly make landfall on the south coast of China.     

A Time Neighborhood Method for the Verification of Landfalling Typhoon Track Forecast

Landfalling typhoons can cause disasters over large regions. The government and emergency responders need to take measures to mitigate disasters according to the forecast of landfall position, while slight timing error can be ignored. The reliability of operational model forecasts of typhoon landfall position needs to be evaluated beforehand, according to the forecasts and observation of historical cases. In the evaluation of landfalling typhoon track, the traditional method based on point-to-po...     

The T-TREC Technique for Retrieving the Winds of Landfalling Typhoons in China

In this study, an extension of the TREC (Tracking Radar Echo by Correlations) technique, named Tropical Cyclone (TC) circulation TREC (T-TREC), is developed to retrieve the winds of landfalling typhoons in China. The T-TREC analysis is performed on a polar grid centered at the TC center, using arc-shaped correlation cells and an arc-shaped search area. The search for the best correlation match is confined along the cyclonic direction with a limited search distance in the radial direction based on the cyclonic circulation characteristics of TCs in the Northern Hemisphere. The TC center is determined objectively using reflectivity data while the Doppler radar radial velocities are incorporated to estimate the search range and create a velocity correlation matrix as auxiliary constraints.     

Landfalling tropical cyclones on the Pacific coast of Mexico: 1850-2010

Historical documents and newspapers from Mexican Pacific states (north of 14° N) were reviewed to determine the incidence of landfalling tropical cyclones from 1850 to 1949, prior to the start of the United States National Hurricane Center database. The reviewed documents are only found in Mexican repositories at national, state and municipal level and the systematic search embarked upon in this study yielded valuable information that cannot be found elsewhere. Atime series of landfall was reconstructed back to 1850, indicating active and quiet periods. An average of 1.8 ± 1.6 landfalls per year is determined from the time series for 1850-2010. When the series is limited to 1880-2010, eliminating the first 30 years that may have some undercounting, the average increases to 2.1 ± 1.6 cases per year. Spectral and wavelet analysis of the 161 years of landfalling tropical cyclones indicates that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) modulates the activity. The influence of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the landfall frequency may be present throughout the reconstruction period but both oscillations have lower correlations compared to that from the PDO.
