城市中水体布局对大气环境的影响

城市下垫面状况在很大程度上决定城市大气物理环境的特征。在城市区域增加湿地等自然地表有利于城市的减温增湿,促使局地流场发生变化,改善局地微气象条件以及大气物理环境。城市规划大气物理环境多尺度数值模拟系统为城市规划大气物理环境定量评估提供了有效的模拟工具。利用该系统中的城市尺度模式模拟了水体布局为集中型和分散型,水体面积占有率分别为4%、8%、12%和16%条件下,城市大气温度、湿度、风速、城市大气扩散条件的变化及其对城市大气环境的影响,利用北京市城市水体气象观测数据,分析了水体周边和商业区、交通区温、湿度的差异,并对模式模拟结果进行了验证,揭示了城市水体布局对城市大气物理环境影响的可能机制。模拟和观测结果显示,城市水体布局会对城市微气象环境产生一定影响。无论分散型或集中型布局,城市水体面积的增加,都在一定程度上使城市气温降低、湿度增加、平均风速增大。比较而言,分散型水体布局对城市区域微气象环境的影响更为显著。     

SIMULATION OF BOUNDARY LAYER EFFECTS ON A HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT CAUSED BY A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER THE YELLOW RIVER MIDSTREAM AREA

A heavy rainfall event caused by a mesoscale convective system (MCS), which occurred over the Yellow River midstream area during 7–9 July 2016, was analyzed using observational, high-resolution satellite, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, and numerical simulation data. This heavy rainfall event was caused by one mesoscale convective complex (MCC) and five MCSs successively. The MCC rainstorm occurred when southwesterly winds strengthened into a jet. The MCS rainstorms occurred when low-level wind fields weakened, but their easterly components in the lower and boundary layers increased continuously. Numerical analysis revealed that there were obvious differences between the MCC and MCS rainstorms, including their three-dimensional airflow structure, disturbances in wind fields and vapor distributions, and characteristics of energy conversion and propagation. Formation of the MCC was related to southerly conveyed water vapor and energy to the north, with obvious water vapor exchange between the free atmosphere and the boundary layer. Continuous regeneration and development of the MCSs mainly relied on maintenance of an upward extension of a positive water vapor disturbance. The MCC rainstorm was triggered by large range of convergent ascending motion caused by a southerly jet, and easterly disturbance within the boundary layer. While a southerly fluctuation and easterly disturbance in the boundary layer were important triggers of the MCS rainstorms. Maintenance and development of the MCC and MCSs were linked to secondary circulation, resulting from convergence of Ekman non-equilibrium flow in the boundary layer. Both intensity and motion of the convergence centers in MCC and MCS cases were different. Clearly, sub-synoptic scale systems in the middle troposphere played a leading role in determining precipitation distribution during this event. Although mesoscale systems triggered by the sub-synoptic scale system induced the heavy rainfall, small-scale disturbances within the boundary layer determined its intensity and location.     

Roles of Mesoscale Terrain and Latent Heat Release in Typhoon Precipitation： A Numerical Case Study

The mesoscale orographic effects on typhoon Aere＇s precipitation are simulated using an Advanced Regional Eta-coordinate Model （AREM） version 3.0. In particular, the effects of the latent heat release are studied by two comparable experiments： with and without condensational heating. The results show that the typhoon rainfall is tripled by the southeastern China mesoscale terrain, and the condensational heating is responsible for at least half of the increase. One role of the latent heat release is to warm the atmosphere, leading to a depression of the surface pressure, which then causes a larger pressure difference in the zonal direction. This pressure gradient guides the water vapour to flow into the foothills, which in turn amplifies the water vapour flux divergence amplified, causing the typhoon rainfall to increase eventually. The other role of the latent heat release is to make the convection more organized, resulting in a relatively smaller rain area and stronger precipitation.     

Consistency Problem with Tracer Advection in the Atmospheric Model GAMIL

The radon transport test, which is a widely used test case for atmospheric transport models, is carried out to evaluate the tracer advection schemes in the Grid-Point Atmospheric Model of IAP-LASG （GAMIL）. Two of the three available schemes in the model are found to be associated with significant biases in the polar regions and in the upper part of the atmosphere, which implies potentially large errors in the simulation of ozone-like tracers. Theoretical analyses show that inconsistency exists between the advection schemes and the discrete continuity equation in the dynamical core of GAMIL and consequently leads to spurious sources and sinks in the tracer transport equation. The impact of this type of inconsistency is demonstrated by idealized tests and identified as the cause of the aforementioned biases. Other potential effects of this inconsistency are also discussed. Results of this study provide some hints for choosing suitable advection schemes in the GAMIL model. At least for the polax-region-concentrated atmospheric components and the closely correlated chemical species, the Flux-Form Semi-Lagrangian advection scheme produces more reasonable simulations of the large-scale transport processes without significantly increasing the computational expense.

模式降水与温度预报的不一致性特征

为探讨模式产品预报不一致性问题,利用2015年11月—2016年10月业务中常用的GQEC,GQJP及T639模式的12 h降水、2 m温度网格产品,采用跳跃指数定量计算方法,研究了产品在不同区域内跳跃指数变化与预报不一致性问题。结果表明:产品多日平均跳跃指数随预报时效延长而增大;长时效预报比短时效预报跳跃频率大、预报不一致性也大;对比两种要素可知,降水的跳跃指数比温度大,跳跃频率高,预报不一致性大;对比不同模式发现,GQEC不仅跳跃指数值小,且跳跃频率低,预报不一致性小,GQJP虽然跳跃指数值小于T639,但其跳跃频率更高,预报一致性较T639低;产品跳跃频率存在季节差异,夏季降水和温度预报跳跃频率最高而冬季最低,夏季预报不一致性最大。研究还发现:基于跳跃指数的预报不一致性特征与选取的区域大小密切相关,区域越大,跳跃指数和预报不一致性越小;区域内跳跃指数分布特征与地理位置和地形等有关。
