Recent Advances in Predictability Studies in China （1999-2002）

Since the last International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) General Assembly (1999), the predictability studies in China have made further progress during the period of 1999-2002. Firstly, three predictability sub-problems in numerical weather and climate prediction are classified, which are concerned with the maximum predictability time, the maximum prediction error, and the maximum allowable initial error, and then they are reduced into three nonlinear optimization problems. Secondly, the concepts of the nonlinear singular vector (NSV) and conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP) are proposed,which have been utilized to study the predictability of numerical weather and climate prediction. The results suggest that the nonlinear characteristics of the motions of atmosphere and oceans can be revealedby NSV and CNOP. Thirdly, attention has also been paid to the relations between the predictability and spatial-temporal scale, and between the model predictability and the machine precision, of which the investigations disclose the importance of the spatial-temporal scale and machine precision in the study of predictability. Also the cell-to-cell mapping is adopted to analyze globally the predictability of climate,which could provide a new subject to the research workers. Furthermore, the predictability of the summer rainfall in China is investigated by using the method of correlation coefficients. The results demonstrate that the predictability of summer rainfall is different in different areas of China. Analysis of variance, which is one of the statistical methods applicable to the study of predictability, is also used to study the potential predictability of monthly mean temperature in China, of which the conclusion is that the monthly mean temperature over China is potentially predictable at a statistical significance level of 0.10. In addition,in the analysis of the predictability of the T106 objective analysis/forecasting field, the variance and the correlation coefficient are calculated to explore the distribution characteristics of the mean-square errors.Finally, the predictability of short-term climate prediction is investigated by using statistical methods or numerical simulation methods. It is demonstrated that the predictability of short-term climate in China depends not only on the region of China being investigated, but also on the time scale and the atmospheric internal dynamical process.

EXPERIMENTS TO TRACK STORMS USING MODERN OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHMS

Storm identification and tracking based on weather radar data are essential to nowcasting and severe weather warning. A new two-dimensional storm identification method simultaneously seeking in two directions is proposed, and identification results are used to discuss storm tracking algorithms. Three modern optimization algorithms (simulated annealing algorithm, genetic algorithm and ant colony algorithm) are tested to match storms in successive time intervals. Preliminary results indicate that the simulated annealing algorithm and ant colony algorithm are effective and have intuitionally adjustable parameters, whereas the genetic algorithm is unsatisfactorily constrained by the mode of genetic operations. Experiments provide not only the feasibility and characteristics of storm tracking with modern optimization algorithms, but also references for studies and applications in relevant fields.     

多普勒雷达速度场缺测区域填补技术的数值模拟

针对多普勒天气雷达探测风场时,常因大面积无回波区的存在,对提取平均散度和平均形变信息的精度有较大影响。利用Sirmans建议的技术来模拟降水回波信号,得到含有0、1、2阶谐波的平面线性速度场并进行加噪处理,得到近乎真实的多普勒速度场。对模拟的平面线性速度场人为设定无回波区,利用VAD技术和迭代法对平面线性速度场做连续性缺口和非连续性缺口的迭代法填补。数值模拟结果表明:对于模拟的无噪声平面线性速度场,迭代法可以基本无误差填补连续性累积缺口在10°到180°的速度场无回波区;对连续性累积缺口,在σ_v=2m·s~(-1),SNR≥5 dB和SNR=20 dB,σ_v≤4 m·s~(-1)的情况下,连续性累积缺口在120°以内,迭代法能较高精度地填补速度场无回波区,填补后0、1、2阶谐波误差绝对值基本能控制在15%以内,80 km距离圈上缺口处迭代前后速度相对误差均在30%以内;对非连续性累积缺口为0°～180°的平面线性速度场,在附加不同噪声条件下,迭代法均可较好地填补累积缺口在180°以内的平面速度场,且80 km距离圈上缺口处迭代前后速度值误差均能控制在15%以内。说明利用迭代法填补多普勒速度场无回波区,填补效果较好,精度较高,这对改善从多普勒速度场中提取平均散度和平均形变信息的精度有极大的帮助作用。     

Relationship between East Asian Monsoon and Dust Weather Frequency over Beijing

The relationship between dust weather frequency (DWF), which denotes thenumber of days of dust weather events, over Beijing and the East AsianMonsoon (EAM) was studied using DWF data for Beijing during the period1951--2006. Results show that, during this period, the blowing-dust weatherfrequency (BDWF), as well as the indices of East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM)and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM), all decreased considerably, with at-test confidence level of 99%. The correlation coefficients between thechosen EAWM index and BDWF over Beijing in winter and the following springwere 0.34 and 0.33, respectively, with significance levels of 0.01 and 0.02,respectively. For the chosen EASM index and BDWF, these correlationcoefficients were 0.51 and 0.45, respectively, with both at a confidencelevel exceeding 99.9%. With the linear trends removed, the values (in thesame order as above) were 0.14, 0.14, -0.12, and -0.09, all not significantat the 95% confidence level. Clearly, the EAM relates mainly to DWF overlong timescales. To a certain extent, the EAM might have some impact on DWFby affecting the associated surface air temperature and precipitation duringthe corresponding time period in sand-dust source regions at the interannualscale. A stronger (weaker) EAWM might advance (suppress) the occurrence ofDWF, and the opposite for the EASM.
