DEVELOPING AND NON-DEVELOPING TROPICAL CYCLONES AS REVEALED BY HIGH DENSITY CLOUD MOTION WINDS

An algorithm for computation of cloud motion winds has been developed at the National Satellite Meteorological Center in China. Since 1997, it has been applied to calculate the cloud motion winds for a 1.25 lat. 1.25 long. mesh over the northwest Pacific region with the satellite data from GMS-5. The development of the tropical cyclones is studied. It shows that the tropical cyclone is usually intrigued by the westerly jet streams at the upper levels of the troposphere, which may be caused by mid-latitude troughs well extending into the tropics. During the prime season of summer, the westerly flowing equatorward of the TUTT may also be a cause for the generation of typhoons.     

高密度云导风资料所揭示的发展和不发展热带气旋的对流层上部环流特征

国家卫星气象中心建立了一套云导风计算的算法，自１９９７年以来，国家卫星气象中心使用该算法，利用ＧＭＳ－５卫星的数据计算出西北太平洋上的１．２５经续度网格的卫得云导风。利用这套资料，对西北太平洋带气旋发展的问题进行了研究。通过研究发现，热带气旋通常是由对流层上层的西风急流引发的，那些西风急流可能是由深入到热 的中纬度槽所引起的，在盛夏季节，吹向热带对流层上部槽（ＴＵＴＴ）赤道一侧的西风也有可能引发台     

Relationship Between an Abrupt Drought-Flood Transition over Mid-Low Reaches of the Yangtze River in 2011 and the Intraseasonal Oscillation over Mid-High Latitudes of East Asia

NCEP/NCAR daily reanalysis data and Chinese daily gridded precipitation data are used to study the relationship between an aprupt drought-flood transition over the mid-low reaches of the Yangtze River in 2011 and the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO; 30-60 days) in the mid-high latitude meridional circulation of the upper troposphere over East Asia. The abrupt transition from drought to flood occurs in early June. The first two recovered fields of the complex empirical orthogonal function show that northward-propagating westerlies from low latitudes converge with southward-propagating westerlies from high latitudes over the mid-low reaches of the Yangtze River (MLRYR) in mid-late May. The timing of this convergence corresponds to the flood period in early-mid June. The ISO index is significantly and positively correlated with rainfall over the MLRYR. During the dry phase (before the transition), the upper troposphere over the MLRYR is characterized by cyclonic flow, easterly winds, and convergence. The regional circulation is dominated by a wave train with a cyclone over east of Lake Baikal, an anticyclone over northern China, and a cyclone over the MLRYR. During the wet phase, the situation is reversed. The configuration of the wave train during the dry phase favors the southward propagation of westerly wind disturbances, while the configuration of the wave train during the wet phase favors the development and maintenance of a pumping effect and sustained ascending motions over the MLRYR.

登陆我国热带气旋的气候特征

利用1949～2001年西北太平洋热带气旋基本资料,对登陆我国热带气旋活动的气候特征进行了分析。结果表明,登陆我国的热带气旋频数存在显著的月际、年际和年代际差异,具有明显的时间日变化特征。同时指出,登陆我国热带气旋的频数与长江中下游地区梅雨量可能存在一定关系。此外,通过对在不同纬度带登陆的热带气旋进行统计分析发现,热带气旋所登陆的纬度带不同,其维持时间、衰减速度存在明显差异。     

行星际磁场扇形结构对中低纬地磁场的影响

本文用特征向量分析法对1973年北京地磁台水平磁场强度H的时均值资料进行了研究,识别出了行星际磁场扇形效应对中低纬地磁场H日变化的贡献。研究结果表明,中低纬扇形效应约为3-5nT的数量级,分点月最大（～5nT）,冬季最小（～3nT）。当扇形磁场背离太阳时,扇形效应引起白天H增大,夜间减小;当扇形磁场朝向太阳时,H的变化相反。用第一特征向量推断行星际磁场的扇形极性,其符合率在两分点月份和夏季达到70％左右,冬季低于50％,暗示了冬季反向扇形效应的存在。     

两层正压准平衡海洋模型的中纬度自由涡旋波动解

建立了具有瑞利摩擦且仅考虑大洋西海岸或同时考虑大洋东、西海岸的两层正压准平衡海洋模型,并做了解析求解,用以研究中纬度的自由涡旋波。得到的主要结论有:模型中该波动的解为波包。在仅考虑大洋西海岸时该波包的载频频率是连续谱;而同时考虑大洋东、西海岸时其为离散谱;且均有载频频率越高(周期越短)水平尺度越大的特点,对过分低频的波动,则会使准平衡的假定不再适用。模型中该波动波包载频的周期约在26天至24年。因考虑了摩擦,该波包的振幅随时间呈指数衰减,但摩擦系数的大小仅影响其衰减程度而不改变其空间结构,最终该波包振幅趋于0,故该两层正压海洋模型的解就趋于大气风场的强迫特解。模型中该波包的载频都是西传的;频率较高则西传较快,波包的特性和变形都很明显;频率低,则西传慢,其波形接近平面简谐波。在该两层正压模型中,该波动上层流场与正压模型中的流动类似,而下层海洋流动则其流速与上层海洋相同,而流向相反。该模型中该波动的性质是准平衡(准无辐散)的涡旋波,当摩擦不太大且其水平尺度在10km以上时,其性质则为准地转的Rossby波。

分析１９５０年以来中等强度以上的ＥｌＮｉｎｏ和ＬａＮｉｎａ当年和次年夏季低纬度风场和５００ｈＰａ高度距平场发现有不同特征。其中中－西太平洋近赤道地区８５０、２００ｈＰａ上风场异常变化十分明显,这种异常变化与南北半球大气相互作用有密切关系。     

低纬高原地区初夏降水特征及其与大气环流关系的研究
