The instability of the vortex sheet along the shear line

The traditional Kelvin-Helmholtz notion of studying the shear instability is not suitable for the case associated with shear line with the strong wind shear in the vortex sheet. Since then, the shear instability be-comes the instability of the vortex sheet. If the velocity is induced by the vortex sheet, the inequalities (1 – Rv + Rid)> 0 and U (y,t)> U{A(t)} become the criterion of the vortex sheet instability. This criterion indicates that 1) the disposition of environment field restrains the disturbance developing along the shear line. 2) There exist multi-scale interactions in the unstable process of the shear line. The calculation of the necessary condition for the instability is also presented in this paper.     

Ecological Risk Assessment of Benzo[a]pyrene in Yellow River Delta

Ecological risk assessment is of great significance to promoting the rational management effectively for the oil‐polluted areas. A comprehensive evaluation method of ecological risk, including probabilistic risk assessment and regional ecological risk assessment, is developed through employing the contaminant benzo[a]pyrene as an indicator to assess ecological risk of five oil mining plots, respectively in Yellow River Delta. In this study, firstly we evaluate the ecological risk probability of five oil mining plots using overlapping area of probabilistic curves, and the results show that local ecological risk varies between the maximum 0.4 and the minimum 0.01. Then we overlay boundaries of five administrative divisions in Yellow River Delta and the spatial distribution patterns of ecosystems to generate new risk receptor plaques, and calculate the integrated value of 30 specifically classified plaques for comprehensive evaluation of ecological risk. The results, fluctuating within the range of 0.00005 and 0.25, indicate that local government should be vigilant to ecological risk of benzo[a]pyrene to some extent, although the current situation is not severe in whole.     

江淮流域极端降水时空变化特征:站点观测和再分析的对比

利用淮河流域1979—2011年260个站点观测、ERA-Interim和NCEP/DOE再分析资料的日降水量数据,选用8个极端降水指数,从空间分布、发展趋势、时间变化等方面对比分析了我国江淮流域极端降水的变化规律,研究了再分析数据的适用性,结果表明:1)持续湿润指数(CWD)、强降水日数(R10mm,R20mm)以及百分位指数(R95p,R99p)具有一致的北少南多的分布特征,而持续干燥指数(CDD)为北多南少,且强度指数(Rx1day,Rx5day)和百分位指数在浙江沿海均有极大值存在。2)大部分地区的强降水日数呈减少趋势,仅在江淮周边地区有弱上升趋势。3)区域平均的降水强度指数具有上升的趋势变化,逐月变化具有先增长后减少的结构特征,5—6月的增长量最大,峰值出现在7月,在夏末、冬季有较明显的随年代增加的趋势,在秋季则随年代减少。4)再分析资料ERA-Interim和NCEP/DOE对不同指数的再现能力有所不同,ERA-Interim对强降水日数(R10mm)、CDD、百分位指数的空间分布以及CDD的变化趋势再现能力较好,与强度指数和百分位指数年际变化的相关性较高,但对CWD变化趋势分布特点的再现能力较弱;NCEP/DOE更善于再现较强降水日数(R20mm)的空间分布以及强度指数和百分位指数的线性变化趋势。5)两种再分析资料能合理地再现强降水日数(R10mm,R20mm)和CDD年际变化特征和强度指数的季节变化特征。     

河西走廊盛夏一次强沙尘暴天气综合分析

利用常规气象观测资料和NCEP／NCAR月平均再分析资料,对2003年7月20日甘肃河西走廊一次历史上少见的区域性夏季沙尘暴天气进行了分析。研究发现：高空小槽、切变线、热低压是引发夏季沙尘暴的主要天气系统。夏季沙尘暴发生过程中,各测站出现了气压跃升、风速猛增、气温下降、湿度增加等现象,但变化幅度小于春季。夏季沙尘暴云图特征表现为中小尺度云团,TBB≤-35℃的云团在一定程度上能够反映沙尘暴天气的变化。诊断分析表明,沙尘暴爆发前散度场呈低层辐合高层辐散状态,沙尘暴发生在最大垂直速度出现以后,同时水平螺旋度对夏季沙尘暴预报有较好的指示意义,螺旋度正值越大,沙尘暴越强。     

一次持续稳定的平流雾天气

对１９９７年１２月１７￣１９日出现在北京地区的平流雾进行了天气学分析,认为此次平流雾是在较为稳定的华北地形槽弱辐射的大尺度条件下,罕见的逆温顶盖（γ＝５．８４℃／１００ｍ）牢牢地置饱和湿空气于２３９．４ｍ以下北京这种特殊的地形中;地面中尺度辐合线和时空剖面图上风的脉动所产生的２００ｍ以下的小尺度辐合线引起的辐合抬升,有利于饱和湿空气不断在山前平原和谷地得以补充和聚焦,所有这些是构成这次大雾稳定维持     

北半球增暖对我国气侯的影响

本文在分析100多年来北半球平均气温长期变化基本特征的基础上,讨论了北半球气温变化对我国气候变化的影响。结果表明,我国大范围气温距平与北半球平均气温有显著的正相关,长江中下游和华北平原的温度距平值平均为北半球平均气温距平的1.4-1.6倍。还表明,我国降水距平分布与北半球气温变化也有一定的联系。在北半球平均气温偏高和偏低年份,欧亚地区500hPa环流特征的差异是显著的。这表明,我国大范围气候距平与北半球平均气温距平的统计相关是有一定的物理基础的。

利用常规资料和多普勒雷达资料,分析了2011年6月24日洛阳嵩县冰雹天气过程。结果表明：高空横槽转竖,干冷空气入侵,中低层强的偏东风辐合,暖湿气流辐合上升,为冰雹的发生提供了有利的动力和水汽条件;高空冷平流,低层暖平流,为强对流性天气的发生提供了不稳定层结;适宜于冰雹生成发展的0℃层高度,指示有利于对流发展的各类指数,为冰雹的分析预报提供了较好的依据;早期的雷达回波信号及其所带来的天气,为提前对强对流天气性质正确判断和监测预警提供了较好的参考信息;强度〉55dBz的回波高度高于-20℃层高度,VIL值〉60kg／m^2,回波顶高〉12km,有中气旋出现等,是降雹的可靠信号。     

The Fluxes and Behaviour of Plumes Inferred from Measurements of Coherent Structures within Images of the Bulk Flow

This paper describes how measurements of the movement of identifiable features at the edge of a turbulent plume can be interpreted to determine the properties of the mean flow and consequently, using plume theory, can be used to make estimates of the fluxes of volume (mass), momentum, and buoyancy in a plume. This means that video recordings of smoke rising from a chimney or buoyant material from a source on the sea bed can be used to make accurate estimates of the source conditions for the plume. At best we can estimate the volume flux and buoyancy flux to within about 5% and 15% of the actual values, respectively. Although this is restricted to the case of a plume rising in a stationary and unstratified environment, we show that the results may be of practical use in other more complex situations. In addition, we demonstrate that large-scale (turbulent) coherent structures at the plume edge form on a scale approximately 40% of the local (mean) plume half-width and travel at almost 60% of the average local (mean) velocity in the plume.
