理想海域中台风引起的潮、流及波的分析 II.海岸及陆架的影响

采用理想的大陆架地形和台风模型计算了不同方向登陆的台风所激发的海洋响应。结果表明,岸边的潮位变化主要是由于台风引起的强迫振动造成的。而对于登陆型台风来说,在远离台风路径的地方,潮位的变化则是由于边缘波效应。对地平直海岸和二维大陆架,自由边缘波的振幅远小于强迫波的振幅。平行海岸移行台风在岸边产生随台风一起移动的强制波,其中当台风沿着与Ｋｅｌｖｉｎ波相同的方向移行时,岸边有陆架波产生,反之则没有陆架波。此外,还讨论了与风暴潮相关的近岸环流。

简单的热带海气耦合波——Rossby波的相互作用

在本文中分析了当大气和海洋中未经耦合前的自由波均为Rossby模时,经相互作用后所激发出的耦合波的物理性质。结果表明,由于大气和海洋的背景状态不同,可以激发出两类不稳定耦合Rossby波。一类波要求大气的背景场是斜压的,而海洋的混合层较深,即热容量较大。这是一类弱相互作用的不稳定波。另一类要求大气的背景场趋于正压性,而海洋的混合层较浅,即热容量较小。这是一类强相互作用的不稳定波。色散关系的计算表明,这两类不稳定波产生的物理机制也不相同。文中对解不同截断模的本征值问题提出了几种数学方法,同时还进一步提出了一种使大气和海洋自由Rossby模的色散关系不受歪曲的处理方法。     

影响惯性重力波活动规律的动力学因子研究

通过探测发现大气重力波有明显的活动规律:重力波强度在冬、春季强于夏、秋季,在5月和10月发生急剧减弱和加强的转变,无天气过程时晚上比白天强,尤其短周期的重力波,周期为40~80min的重力波平均强度最强,其他较弱。在斜压大气和考虑积云对流加热条件下,运用积云对流参数化、Taylor公式展开等方法,推导出惯性重力波的非线性KdV方程,求出其孤立波解,以此解释以上得出的大气重力波的活动规律:惯性重力波强度随风速垂直切变增大而增大,急流是最重要的惯性重力波波源,是重力波强度在冬、春季强于夏、秋季的主要原因,亚洲急流在5月和10月的北跃和南落,是重力波强度发生急剧变化的原因,急流下方是激发惯性重力波最强的地方。一般情况下,惯性重力波强度随着大气背景流场绝对涡度增大而增大,正涡度对惯性重力波起激发和增强的作用。当惯性重力波向下传播时,波的强度随层结稳定度(N2)增大而增大,由于太阳辐射的作用白天大气层结稳定度比晚上小,这解释了在无天气过程时晚上重力波强度强于白天的原因。惯性重力波强度和波的频率成正比,这解释了周期为40~80 min比周期为140~160 min的重力波强的原因。重力波强度还与非线性积云对流参数常数b及科氏力参数f成正比。     

赤道不同海域对信风张弛的响应特征——对El Nio研究的启示

当均匀的纬圈风应力作用于赤道海洋时,在东、西边界附近由于平衡的物理过程不同,其响应特征也不同。当盛吹一个方向的风时,例如东风,东边界的温跃层会变浅（冷水）,而西边界的温跃层变深。当东风吹了ｔ０时间而改吹西风时,无论东边界的温跃层还是西边界的温跃层都要持续到２ｔ０时间后,才改变其发展方向。这表明边界上的物理场带有长的“惯性”或长的“记忆”。但西边界信号向东传播的速度比东边界向西传播的速度要快,且振幅也大,从这个意义上讲,ＥｌＮｉｎｏ事件先兆从西边界附近出现后,能迅速影响到西、中太平洋,也即西边界附近更易成为ＥｌＮｉｎｏ事件的源地,特别是强的ＥｌＮｉｎｏ事件。

El Nino事件发生和消亡中热带太平洋纬向风应力的动力作用 II.模式结果分析

为了分析ElNio事件发生和消亡中热带太平洋纬向风应力的动力作用，建立一个类似于Zebiak的简单热带海洋数值模式，在观测到的风应力异常的强迫下，模拟赤道太平洋地区1971年1月至1998年8月海表温度异常的变化。结果表明，模式对观测的Nio3区海表温度异常(SSTA)有很好的模拟能力。模拟和观测Nio3区SSTA之间的相关系数可达0.90。模式对ElNio事件期间赤道太平洋海表温度异常随时间变化也有较好的模拟能力。为了分析ElNio期间SSTA的空间分布及其随时间变化的动力学机制，还对19861989年ENSO循环期间赤道太平洋地区观测的SSTA的传播特征及其形成机制进行了分析。模式较好地模拟出了观测到的赤道太平洋地区SSTA的传播特征，即从1986年底至1987年4月，SSTA具有向东传播的特征，从1987年6月至1988年2月具有向西传播的特征。动力学分析的结果表明，赤道中西太平洋地区的纬向风应力异常对ElNio事件的发生和消亡具有重要作用。赤道中西太平洋地区的西风异常可强迫出东传的Kelvin波，这个东传的Kelvin波对正SSTA的东传起主要作用，当这个东传的Kelvin波到达东边界，由于东边界的反射作用，在东边界产生西传的Rossby波，这个西传的Rossby波对赤道中东太平洋地区正SSTA的西传起主要作用。东传Kelvin波和反射的Rossby波对ElNio期间赤道东太平洋正SSTA二次峰值的形成具有重要作用。     

大地形对Rossby波波射线的影响

本文利用Ｒｕｎｇｅ－Ｋｕｔｔａ方法计算了大地形对定常、非定常低频Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波波射线的影响，计算结果显示，地形对Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波波射线有重要影响。对位于地形上游的波源，定常波波射线在传播过程中，遇到地形时，会绕过地形偏向高纬度传播并加密波射线，地形起阻挡屏障作用；波源位于地形中心时，东西走向的地形使波射线发生分支现象，南北走向地形没有这种现象产生。文中还计算了地形存在下，周期为５０ｄ的低频Ｒｏｓｓｂｙ波波射线。结果显示，地形对低频波波射线的影响似乎更复杂。     

强迫耗散作用下的Rossby包络孤立波及其相互作用

本文讨论了强迫和耗散对Rossby包络孤立波的影响，得到了在强迫和耗散共同作用下，当准共振条件和锁相条件满足时，包络孤立波从外场那里获取能量来克服耗散并形成稳定的锁相包络孤立波。本文还研究了在强迫和耗散作用下两个包络孤立波的碰撞相互作用，发现在某些参数下，两波碰撞后性质变化不大，而在另外一些参数下，碰撞后两波性质显著改变。     

初夏东亚—太平洋遥相关波列年际变化的一种物理机制

根据1978-2002年北半球500 hPa高度场、地表温度场以及中国夏季雨带类型资料,应用最小二乘法获得了能反映1978-2002年各年北半球大气环流演变大尺度特征的25组空间谱函数.采用改进的低截谱模式方法和多种统计假设检验方法获得了夏季东亚-太平洋遥相关波列年际变化的一个物理机制.结果表明,当大气环流的内部动力过程中大尺度波-波和波-流相互作用明显时,大气环流的演变表现出明显的非线性特征,导致初夏从低纬到高纬东亚-太平洋遥相关波列多为"-、+、-"分布,相应的-EAP指数多为正值,西太平洋副热带高压北跳明显,相应中国夏季多雨区主要位于淮河流域及其以北地区;反之,当大气环流的内部动力过程中大尺度波-波和波-流相互作用较弱时,大气环流的演变表现出较为明显的线性特征,初夏从低纬到高纬东亚-太平洋遥相关波列为"+、-、+"分布,EAP指数多为负值,夏季西太平洋副热带高压北进不明显,相应中国夏季多雨区主要位于淮河、长江流域及以南地区.     

Finescale Spiral Rainbands Modeled in a High-Resolution Simulation of Typhoon Rananim （2004）

Finescale spiral rainbands associated with Typhoon Rananim(2004)with the band length ranging from 10 to nearly 100 km and band width varying from 5 to 15 km are simulated using the Fifth-Generation NCAR/Penn State Mesoscale Model(MM5).The finescale rainbands have two types:one intersecting the eyewall and causing damaging wind streaks,and the other distributed azimuthally along the inner edge of the eyewall with a relatively short lifetime.The formation of the high-velocity wind streaks results from the interaction of the azimuthal flow with the banded vertical vorticity structure triggered by tilting of the horizontal vorticity.The vertical advection of azimuthal momentum also leads to acceleration of tangential flow at a relatively high altitude.The evolution and structures of the bands are also examined in this study. Further investigation suggests that the boundary inflection points are related tightly to the development of the finescale rainbands,consistent with previous findings using simple symmetric models.In particular,the presence of the level of inflow reversal in the boundary layer is a crucial factor controlling the formation of these bands.The near-surface wavy peaks of vertical vorticity always follow the inflection points in radial flow.The mesoscale vortices and associated convective updrafts in the eyewall are considered to strengthen the activity of finescale bands,and the updrafts can trigger the formation of the bands as they reside in the environment with inflow reversal in the boundary layer.     

强台风Chanchu（0601）的数值研究：转向前后内核结构和强度变化

使用FY卫星TBB资料和新一代非静力中尺度模式WRF分析南海强台风Chanchu(0601)"急翘"转向前后内核结构和强度变化过程。结果表明:转向后内核结构非对称特征明显。WRF数值模式较好地模拟出Chanchu强度和异常路径变化过程,再现了内核结构演变:转向前,垂直切变较弱,有利于快速加强,内核结构较为对称;转向后,垂直切变明显增大,强回波位于垂直切变下风方向的左侧,显示为内核非对称结构。使用傅立叶变换方法分解模拟结果中的雷达回波,发现眼壁和内螺旋雨带的2波非对称沿方位角移速与涡旋罗斯贝波(VRWs)的理论波速一致,Chanchu快速加强过程中断和强度维持的可能原因为:眼壁传播的VRWs受到外螺旋雨带的扰动以及涡旋倾斜加剧引起眼壁非对称性加强导致"急翘"时眼壁破裂,此后眼区和眼壁区水平混合过程加强,850 hPa眼区相当位温明显增加,抑制高层相对暖干空气和低层相对冷湿空气相互交换,使得随眼壁内侧下沉气流向下输送的暖干空气减少,低层增温作用减弱,快速加强过程中断;VRWs径向内传导致高值涡度由眼壁内侧向眼心传播,引起最大风速半径(RMW)内侧切向风速增大,RMW随时间向眼心延伸,眼壁进一步收缩,一定程度上抵消了垂直切变加大的负面影响,Chanchu维持强度。     

涡旋Rossby波传播和台风切向风速变化的数值研究

设计了一个高分辨率f平面准地转正压涡度方程半谱模式，用以研究非线性对台风切向风速变化，以及不同初始异常条件下台风环流内涡旋Rossby波传播和台风切向风速变化特征。6类(14组)试验的数值结果表明：非线性使台风切向风速的增强减弱，可能使最大风速半径收缩。初始扰动中心位置对涡旋Rossby波传播和台风切向风速变化的影响明显。扰动中心在最大风速半径附近时，台风最大切向风速增强最多；异常中心在台风外区时，使最大切向风速减小。初始异常尺度(范围)减小对台风最大切向风速变化的影响减弱。双涡分布条件下，台风环流外区的涡旋使内区或近眼壁区对流涡旋对台风最大切向风速的影响减弱。

Impact of Cloud Microphysical Processes on the Simulation of Typhoon Rananim near Shore. Part II: Typhoon Intensity and Track

The impact of cloud microphysical processes on the simulated intensity and track of Typhoon Rananim is discussed and analyzed in the second part of this study. The results indicate that when the cooling effect due to evaporation of rain water is excluded, the simulated 36-h maximum surface wind speed of Typhoon Rananim is about 7 m s⁻¹ greater than that from all other experiments; however, the typhoon landfall location has the biggest bias of about 150 km against the control experiment. The simulated strong outer rainbands and the vertical shear of the environmental flow are unfavorable for the deepening and maintenance of the typhoon and result in its intensity loss near the landfall. It is the cloud microphysical processes that strengthen and create the outer spiral rainbands, which then increase the local convergence away from the typhoon center and prevent more moisture and energy transport to the inner core of the typhoon. The developed outer rainbands are supposed to bring dry and cold air mass from the middle troposphere to the planetary boundary layer (PBL). The other branch of the cold airflow comes from the evaporation of rain water itself in the PBL while the droplets are falling. Thus, the cut-off of the warm and moist air to the inner core and the invasion of cold and dry air to the eyewall region are expected to bring about the intensity reduction of the modeled typhoon. Therefore, the deepening and maintenance of Typhoon Rananim during its landing are better simulated through the reduction of these two kinds of model errors.     

台风“珍珠”(2006)螺旋雨带发展机制的数值模拟研究

基于2 km分辨率的ARW-WRF数值模拟资料,讨论了台风"珍珠"(2006)螺旋雨带中对流单体及内雨带的发展机制。结果表明:模式很好地再现了台风的路径和强度。作为雨带中仅仅存在于眼壁外侧的内雨带,其传播机制与重力波、涡旋Rossby波及混合波没有联系,其可能发展机制仅与低层出流、水平风场和变形场有关。低层出流使得内雨带径向向外运动,而低层的水平风场和变形场使其形成螺旋结构。同时,就螺旋雨带中精细对流单体的发展而言,涡度收支方程定量分析表明,其主要通过两种方式获得垂直涡度:水平涡度倾斜为垂直涡度;上升运动拉伸垂直涡度。随着平流输送,对流单体在眼壁附近合并和汇聚。

Effect of tropical cyclone intensity and instability on the evolution of spiral bands

The evolution of spiral-band-like structures triggered by asymmetric heating in three tropical-cyclone-like vortices of different intensities is examined using the Three-Dimensional Vortex Perturbation Analyzer and Simulator （3DVPAS） model. To simulate the spiral bands, asymmetric thermal perturbations are imposed on the radius of maximum wind （RMW） of vortices, which can be considered as the location near the eyewall of real tropical cyclones （TCs）. All the three vortices experience a hydrostatic adjustment after the introduction of thermal asymmetries. It takes more time for weaker and stable vortices to finish such a process. The spiral-band-like structures, especially those distant from the vortex centers, form and evolve accompanying this process. In the quasi-balance state, the spiral bands are gradually concentrated to the inner core, the wave behavior of which resembles the features of classic vortex Rossby （VR） waves. The unstable vortices regain nonhydrostatic features after the quasi-balance stage. The spiral bands further from the vortex center, similar to distant spiral bands in real TCs, form and maintain more easily in the moderate basic-state vortex, satisfying the conditions of barotropic instability. The widest radial extent and longest-lived distant bands always exist in weak and stable vortices. This study represents an attempt to determine the role of TC intensity and stability in the formation and evolution of spiral bands via hydrostatic balance adjustment, and provides some valuable insights into the formation of distant spiral rainbands.     

SATELLITE-BASED ANALYSIS ON THE CONCENTRIC EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLES OF SUPER TYPHOON MUIFA (1109)

Multisatellite data is used to analyze the characteristics of three eyewall replacement cycles (ERCs) during the lifetime of Typhoon Muifa (1109). Spiral rainbands evolutions, concentric eyewall (CE) structure modes, CE durations, and intensity changes are discussed in detail. In addition, an ERC evolution model of Typhoon Muifa is given. There are four main findings. (1) The outer spiral rainband joins end to end to form the outer eyewall after it disconnects from the original (inner) eyewall. The inner eyewall weakens as the outer eyewall becomes axisymmetric and is intensified. The contraction of the outer eyewall causes the inner eyewall to dissipate rapidly. Finally, the ERC ends with an annular eyewall or spiral rainbands. (2) Although the CE duration times of Typhoon Muifa’s three ERCs covered a large range, the CE structures were all maintained for approximately 5 h from the formation of the axisymmetric outer eyewall to the end of the cycle. (3) There is no obvious precipitation reflectivity in the eye or moat region for the subsidence flow. The convection within the two eyewalls is organized as a radially outward slope with increasing height. (4) Typhoon intensity estimation results based on ADT may not explain the intensity variations associated with ERC correctly, while the typhoon’s warm core data retrieved from AMSU-A works well.     

台风麦莎的正压特征波动结构及其稳定性

利用中尺度WRF模式对2005年8月西北太平洋台风麦莎（Matsa）进行了精细的数值模拟。使用模式输出资料,对正压浅水方程组进行了数值差分计算,分析它在最大强度时刻的正压特征波动结构和稳定性。结果表明,台风麦莎内部包含有沿逆时针方向传播的重力惯性外波和涡旋Ross-by波,两种波动的结构和稳定性存在显著性差异。前者主要存在于台风外围,增长率随波长的减小而增加,台风外围的波动相速度为48．9～68．5m／s;后者主要位于距离台风中心200km内,表现为3波最不稳定,半径100km处相速度约为5m／s。此外,重力惯性外波的扰动风场与高度场基本相垂直,扰动散涡比值大于3倍,甚至达到10＾3倍,运动以辐合、辐散为主;涡旋Rossby波的扰动风场基本平行于高度场,扰动散涡比值为10＾-1～10＾-2,涡旋运动是其主要运动,与内螺旋雨带沿着切向圆周方向的传播具有密切关系。
