气温变化对中国夏季云水量的影响

利用欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)提供的1979-2016年ERA-Interim再分析资料分析了中国4个地区夏季大气水循环变量和气温时空特征,并通过相关分析、SVD方法及环流场合成分析进一步揭示了气温变化对云水含量的影响。结果表明:中国夏季云水含量空间分布从东南向西北减少。高原区云水含量与气温正相关,其他地区为显著负相关。西北地区升温使西风带水汽输送减弱和蒙古东部异常反气旋环流维持,北方地区升温使东北至蒙古异常反气旋和东南沿海异常气旋维持,西北太平洋副热带高压(副高)东撤,二者均使200 hPa西风急流减弱,水汽输送和上升运动减弱,云水含量减少。南方地区升温使黄海异常反气旋和南海异常气旋维持,副高东撤,200 hPa西风急流偏北,不利于水汽输送和上升运动,云水含量减少。高原地区升温使西风带南支和高原西部异常气旋加强,副高西伸北抬,高原北侧西风急流和南亚高压增强,促进水汽输送和低层辐合上升,使云液水含量增加。     

大连地区主汛期多、少雨年同期大气环流场的差异

大连地区主汛期降水异常是该地区大气环流异常直接影响的结果,本文用1961~2000年各层大气环流场资料来分析对比多、少雨年同期大气环流的情况。揭示出大连地区主汛期多雨年和少雨年同期的海平面气压场、850 hPa大气环流场、500 hPa西风带槽脊和高度场都存在显著差异。多雨年较少雨年该地区低层的辐合上升运动加强,850 hPa盛行西南气流,水汽输送旺盛。同时,500 hPa西风带的槽脊波动加深,高空西风急流增强。     

2009年2—3月我国南方连阴雨天气过程分析

利用JRA-25再分析资料分析了2009年2—3月我国南方一次连阴雨过程的环流背景,以及该时期西太平洋副高和副热带西风急流的异常活动,并计算了降水区域内的水汽收支。结果表明:(1)这次过程中,欧亚大陆上空阻塞形势稳定,我国北方地区长期由槽后脊前的西北气流控制,而在中低纬地区,西太平洋副高稳定在菲律宾海上空,加强了南方地区对流层中低层的西南风。这种环流形势使得北方干冷空气和南方暖湿气流在长江流域长时间对峙,形成了稳定的准静止锋,是影响这次连阴雨过程的主要天气系统。(2)对流层高层的副热带西风急流异常偏北,急流轴入口处南侧的辐散环流与低层西南气流北侧的气旋性辐合环流相配合,在长江流域上空形成利于降水发展和维持的动力结构。(3)偏北的西太平洋副高伴随着反气旋性环流异常,其西边缘的偏南风造成了来自西太平洋及南海低纬地区至我国南方的偏南风水汽输送支异常,它主导的经向水汽输送是造成主降水区水汽通量辐合的重要原因,对降水发展和维持的影响更为显著。     

中国东南部冬季降水变化及其环流特征

利用1951-2011年中国160站降水资料及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析了中国东南部冬季降水的年际变化及与之相关的环流和水汽输送特征。结果表明:中国东南部冬季降水年际差异较明显,当降水异常偏多(少)时,蒙古高压及中国广大南方地区海平面气压异常偏低(高),而亚洲附近的洋面上则异常偏高(低);500 hPa上,巴尔喀什湖附近的高压脊和东亚大槽均偏弱(强);高层东亚西风急流异常偏弱(强),中东地区急流异常偏强(弱);中国东部20~30°N出现显著异常上升(下沉)运动,低纬度地区出现异常下沉(上升)运动。影响中国东南部冬季降水的水汽输送主要有两支:来自西风带绕高原的南支气流,经过阿拉伯海和孟加拉湾向华南的输送水汽;来自低纬西太平洋,经南海向中国西南的水汽输送。此外,东亚冬季风与中国东南部冬季降水关系密切。     

春夏季青藏高原积雪对中国夏末秋初 降水的影响及其可能机制

本文首先利用最大协方差分析方法,探讨青藏高原积雪与中国降水之间的联系,发现中国夏末秋初（8～10月,简称ASO）降水与前期及同期高原积雪有着显著联系,当春夏季青藏高原西部多雪时,其后ASO中国长江及其以南地区多雨,而东部沿海的狭长区域少雨。进一步引入最大响应估计等方法,研究中国区域降水对高原积雪异常的响应及其可能的物理机制,结果表明,冬春季高原多雪异常可持续到夏季,并通过改变地表热力状况,导致ASO南亚高压减弱,同时在高、低空激发出两支波列:高层200 hPa波列沿中高纬西风急流传播,自高原经蒙古到达日本呈现明显的“负—正—负”位势高度异常传播,日本上空为气旋性异常环流;低层850 hPa波列起于高原,经孟加拉湾至中国南海,沿着西南气流传播,导致台湾附近的反气旋性异常环流,其西侧的偏南气流,将南海丰富的水汽输送至中国南部湖南、广西;而高层中心位于日本的气旋性异常环流西侧的偏北气流利于北方天气尺度扰动向南移动,它们为长江中下游及其以南地区多雨提供了有利条件。进一步计算定常波波数也表明,高层西风急流与低层西南季风气流作为波导,有利于高原上空的扰动沿着高、低空2支通道向东传播。由于东部沿海浙江、福建为正位势高度异常区,低层反气旋性异常环流则抑制了该区域的降水。     

华北地区夏季降水的年际变化特征

利用1951—2000年中国160个台站降水资料和1958—2002年欧洲中心的ERA-40再分析资料,分析了华北地区夏季降水和对应大气环流的变化特征。结果表明：华北地区夏季降水自20世纪70年代中后期开始明显减少,出现持续性干旱;华北地区上空的暖高压、鄂霍次克海地区的高压脊和西太平洋副热带高压是控制华北地区的主要环流系统。当华北地区降水偏少时,华北地区上空700hPa出现反气旋型环流异常,华北地区上空出现明显偏北风异常,且下沉气流加强,水汽出现辐散,200hPa高度上西风带偏南且减弱;反之,当华北地区降水偏多时,华北地区上空700hPa出现气旋型环流异常,并出现偏南风异常,上升气流加强,水汽输送辐合,200hPa上西风异常偏北加强。     

环境场对东海登陆热带气旋陆地路径的影响

采用合成分析的方法，对比分析了在华东南部沿海登陆，维持较短陆地路径和维持较长陆地路径的两类热带气旋的环境场变化，结果表明：环境场对登陆热带气旋的陆地路径的维持有重要影响。当西北太平洋副热带高压迅速加强西伸；中低层低压环流迅速减弱；中低层环境热力条件差，海洋水汽输送中断；高层水平流场呈纬向型，青藏高原反气旋环流相对较弱而西北太平洋副热带高压反气旋环流强大，中纬带西风急流强大时，环境场的配置使热带气旋周围的高层水平辐散弱并衰减，低层水平辐合弱并衰减，热带气旋的对流被抑制，仅能维持较短路径很快就减弱消亡。反之，当西北太平洋副热带高压减弱东退，西风槽南压；低层低压环流长时间维持；中低层环境热力条件好，海洋水汽输送通畅；高层水平流场呈经向型，青藏高原反气旋环流相对强大而西北太平洋副热带高压反气旋环流减弱东退，中纬带西风急流较弱，低空东南风急流强大时，环境场的配置使热带气旋周围高层水平辐散强并维持，低层水平辐合强并维持，热带气旋的对流通畅，能维持较长生命史和较长的路径。     

2012年夏季华北降水和环流形势的低频振荡特征分析

对2012年夏季华北降水的低频振荡特征和相应的低频环流形势进行了分析,结果表明:2012年华北夏季降水具有显著的10~13 d低频振荡周期,振荡的演变和强降水有很好的对应关系,强降水过程基本发生在振荡的波峰处。强降水发生前,对流层低层在孟加拉湾地区首先出现低频反气旋式环流并逐渐加强,菲律宾至我国南海地区的低频环流系统逐渐向西北方向传播,中高纬西风带上有负低频高度距平东移,其伴随西风槽加深东移。对流层上层伊朗高原低频气旋式环流减弱,随后青藏高原东部低频反气旋式环流加强东移。强降水发生时,来自西北太平洋的低频偏南风和西风槽东移携带的低频水汽,为华北地区提供了充沛的低频水汽。同时对流层高层青藏高原的低频反气旋式环流东移控制我国中东部地区,华北至东北地区为强烈的低频辐散中心,上升运动加强,为降水的发生提供动力条件。对流层各层低频系统的相互配合对华北强降水的发生和维持起到了重要作用。     

热带季节内振荡对2008年初南方持续性冰冻雨雪天气的影响

利用滤波、EOF和合成分析等统计方法及NCEP和NOAA提供的资料,分析了与2008年初我国南方罕见持续性冰冻雨雪天气有关的水汽输送演变情况,发现持续性与热带大气季节内振荡（MJO）和中低纬地区高低层环流的30 ~ 60天低频振荡关系体现为：当MJO活动以印度洋中东部赤道地区对流加强、印度尼西亚对流受抑制为特征时,印度地区700 hPa出现低频气旋有利于70 ~ 80 ?E的槽加深。与此同时,我国台湾以东洋面出现低频反气旋,有利于西太平洋副高加强。低压槽和副热带高压（副高）之间的偏南风导致孟加拉湾和南海的水汽同时向我国南方地区输送。与低层系统相配,200 hPa低频反气旋位于南压大陆,在该低频反气旋东北侧则为低频气旋,二者之间的低频西北风与低层的低频南风构成了反Hadley型局地经向环流,并导致高层西风急流入口区反气旋侧的高层辐散区向南偏移,使低频经向环流的上升支控制我国南方地区,该上升气流将来自孟加拉湾和南海的水汽抬升至高层,十分有利2008年初我国罕见冻雨的降水异常。通过对比分析相同时段降水异常偏少的1993年中低纬高低层低频环流场,发现1993年的低频环流分布形势与2008年的相反,说明了季节内振荡确实是造成2008年初我国南方地区持续性降水的重要因素之一。     

菲律宾海地区异常环流与长江中下游6月旱涝的关系

利用1951—2010年NCEP/NCAR逐月再分析资料和中国160站月降水总量资料,研究了菲律宾海地区大气环流异常与长江中下游6月旱涝的关系。结果表明,菲律宾海附近是影响长江中下游地区6月降水的关键区。菲律宾异常反气旋（气旋）在对流层低层明显,强度随高度衰减。且这种大气环流异常与长江中下游地区6月降水的相关关系在低层850hPa最显著,到高层相关性减弱。当出现菲律宾异常反气旋环流时,垂直速度和水汽输送等异常分布特征有利于降水发生,使得长江中下游地区偏涝,反之则偏旱。     

Analysis on Anomalous Precipitation in Southern China During Winter Monsoons

The winters of 1997/1998 and 1998/1999,corresponding to El Ni(?)o and La Ni(?)a episodes,respectively, were two typical rain-abundant and-scarce seasons for the southern China.In order to understand the cause of the anomalous precipitation during the two winters,a comparative analysis technique has been employed to investigate the differences in general circulation and moisture transportation between the two seasons. The results show that the abundant rainfall during the winter of 1997/1998 was associated with the ENSO warm episode event,eastward shifted weak westerly trough/ridge,weakened East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM),strengthened subtropical high,and presented two anti-cyclonic circulations over Hokkaido and the Philippine Sea,respectively,as well as one cyclonic circulation over the Yangtze River Basin in the anomalous wind fields of the lower troposphere.During the rain-scarce winter,however,the patterns of equatorial sea surface temperature anomalies and the circulation systems both in upper and lower levels were nearly the opposite of those during the rain-abundant winter.It has also been discovered that the water vapor over southern China during the winters came mainly from the southwesterly flow ahead of troughs in the southern branch of westerlies and the turning flow over the South China Sea-Indo-China Peninsula area;and the moisture transportation channels varied significantly with regard to height.The intensified flow in the southern branch of westerlies and the anti-cyclonic circulation anomaly over the Philippine Sea during the winter of 1997/1998 were favorable for moisture transportation to mainland China,however the two moisture transportation streams were dramatically weakened during the winter of 1998/1999 due to weak westerly flow and the dominance of a cold high system in the lower level over the southeast coast of China.Such a significant inter-annual change of moisture transportation is a key factor resulting in the obvious difference in precipitation between the two winters.     

Effects of atmosphere-ocean interaction on the interannual variability of winter temperature in Taiwan and East Asia

 This study investigated the ocean-atmosphere interaction effect on the winter surface air temperature in Taiwan. Temperature fluctuations in Taiwan and marine East Asia correlated better with a SST dipole in the western North Pacific than the SST in the central/eastern equatorial Pacific. During the warm (cold) winters, a positive (negative) SST anomaly appears in marine East Asia and a negative (positive) SST anomaly appears in the Philippine Sea. The corresponding low-level atmospheric circulation is a cyclonic (anticyclonic) anomaly over the East Asian continent and an anticyclonic (cyclonic) circulation in the Philippine Sea during the warm (cold) winters. Based on the results of both numerical and empirical studies, it is proposed that a vigorous ocean-atmosphere interaction occurring in the western North Pacific modulates the strength of the East Asian winter monsoon and the winter temperature in marine East Asia. The mechanism is described as follows. The near-surface circulation anomalies, which are forced by the local SST anomaly, strengthen (weaken) the northeasterly trade winds in the Philippine Sea and weaken (strengthen) the northeasterly winter monsoon in East Asia during warm (cold) winters. The anomalous circulation causes the SST to fluctuate by modulating the heat flux at the ocean surface. The SST anomaly in turn enhances the anomalous circulation. Such an ocean-atmosphere interaction results in the rapid development of the anomalous circulation in the western North Pacific and the anomalous winter temperature in marine East Asia. This interaction is phase-locked with the seasonal cycle and occurs most efficiently in the boreal winters. Received: 22 October 1999 / Accepted: 5 June 2000     

Effects of El Ni?o Modoki on winter precipitation in Korea

This study compares the impacts of El Ni?o Modoki and El Ni?o on precipitation over Korea during the boreal winters from 1954 to 2009. Precipitation in Korea tends to be equal to or greater than the normal level during an El Ni?o Modoki winter, whereas there is no significant change during an El Ni?o winter. Greater than normal precipitation during El Ni?o Modoki was also found over the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China and much of southern Japan. The latitudes of these regions are 5–10° further north than in southern China, where precipitation increases during El Ni?o. The following two anomalous atmospheric circulations were found to be causes that led to different precipitation distributions over East Asia. First, an atmospheric wave train in the lower troposphere, which propagated from the central tropical Pacific (cyclonic) through the southern Philippine Sea (anticyclonic) to East Asia (cyclonic), reached the southern China and northern Philippine Sea during El Ni?o, whereas it reached Korea and southern Japan during El Ni?o Modoki. Second, an anomalous local meridional circulation, which consists of air sinking in the tropics, flowing poleward in the lower troposphere, and rising in the subtropics, developed between the southern Philippine Sea and northern Philippine Sea during El Ni?o. During El Ni?o Modoki, however, this circulation expanded further to the north and was formed between the southern Philippine Sea and regions of Korea and southern Japan.     

海洋性大陆区域加热异常与长江流域1998年夏季降水重大异常事件的联系

1998年夏季长江流域降水异常增多,发生了严重的洪涝灾害。本文利用1979-2011年的NCEP再分析月平均资料、Hadley中心的月平均海表温度资料和中国160站降水资料,分析了1998年夏季长江流域强降水的成因。结果表明：1998年夏季,印度尼西亚地区为非绝热加热正异常区,而其东北侧海域的非绝热加热为负异常或较小的正异常,由此形成了西南-东北向的异常加热梯度,使得印度尼西亚地区大气受到异常加热,低层辐合,高层辐散,而在热带西太平洋地区则为低层辐散,高层辐合,形成了西南-东北向垂直环流圈。热带西太平洋地区的低层异常辐散气流可作为异常涡度源,强迫出位于南海中国地区的反气旋性环流。同时,来自印度尼西亚北侧的扰动能量在南海地区辐合,有利于南海地区这一异常反气旋环流的维持。南海地区异常反气旋环流西北侧的西南气流,携带大量热带西太平洋及南海地区的水汽,输送到我国南方地区,并与控制中国东北地区的气旋性环流西南侧的西北气流交汇辐合于长江流域,有利于降水异常事件的产生。     

东亚地区夏季风爆发过程

利用中国194站1961～1995年日降水资料及NCEP1979～1997年候格点降水资料,探讨了亚洲地区自春到夏的雨季开始分布。结果表明,东亚地区自春到夏存在副热带季风雨季开始和热带季风雨季开始。前者于4月初开始于华南北部和江南地区,随后向南和向西南扩展,于4月末扩展到华南沿海和中南半岛,这个雨带主要是冷空气和副热带高压西侧转向的SW风以及南亚地区冬春副热带南支西风槽中西风汇合而形成的,是副热带季风雨季开始。后者是南海热带季风爆发后使原来由江南移到华南沿岸的副热带季风雨带随副热带高压北进而北进,前汛期雨季进入盛期,江南出现第二次雨峰,形成梅雨期和江淮及华北雨季。同时,热带季风雨带也自东向西传播到达南亚地区而形成热带季风雨季。还讨论了1998年东亚地区夏季风爆发过程,指出南海夏季风爆发期的季风由副高北侧形成的新生气旋进入南海造成南海中部西风和南海越赤道气流转向的SW季风加强汇合而形成,因而是东亚季风系统中环流系统季节变化造成的,和印度季风无关。在南海季风爆发期阿拉伯海仍由副热带反气旋控制,南亚仍是上述副热带反气旋北侧NW风南下后转向的偏西副热带气流所控制,索马里低空急流仍未爆发,赤道西风并未影响南海。     

THE CONTRASTS BETWEEN STRONG AND WEAK MJO ACTIVITY OVER THE EQUATORIAL WESTERN PACIFIC IN WINTER

This paper investigates the contrasts between strong and weak Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) activity over the equatorial western Pacific during winter using the NCEP reanalysis data. It is shown that the MJO over the equatorial western Pacific in winter shows significant interannual and interdecadal variabilities. During the winters with strong MJO activity, an anomalous cyclonic circulation lies east of the Philippines, strong anomalous easterlies control the equatorial eastern Pacific, and anomalous westerlies extend from the Indian Ocean to the western Pacific in the lower troposphere, which strengthens the convergence and convection over the equatorial western Pacific. The moisture convergence in the lower troposphere is also enhanced over the western Pacific, which is favorable to the activity of MJO. Eastward propagation is a significant feature of the MJO, though there is some westward propagation. The space-time spectral power and center period of the MJO are higher during strong MJO activity winters. The anomalous activity of MJO is closely related to the sea surface temperature (SST) and East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM). During strong MJO activity winters, there are positive/negative anomalies at high/low latitudes in both sea level pressure and 500 hPa geopotential height, and the temperature is lower over the central part of the Chinese mainland, which indicates a strong EAWM. China experiences more rainfall between the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers, but less rainfall south of the Yangtze River. The SSTA is negative near the Taiwan Island due to the impact of strong EAWM and shows a La Ni?a pattern anomaly over the eastern Pacific. During the weak MJO activity winters, the situation is reversed.     

冬夏季环流隔季相关的数值试验

利用海气耦合和大气气候模式研究东亚冬季风异常对夏季环流的影响, 结果表明, 东亚冬季风异常对于后期环流及海洋状态异常都起了很大的作用.一般情况下, 强的冬季风与后期弱的东亚夏季风和较强的南海季风相对应.与强(弱)冬季风异常相关的风应力的改变可以使热带太平洋海温从冬季至夏季呈现La Nina (El Nio)型异常分布.试验得到的由冬季风异常所产生的海洋及夏季环流的变化与实况是相当接近的.在异常的冬季风偏北风分量强迫下, 西太平洋上形成的偏差气旋环流在夏季已不存在, 这时东亚夏季风反而增强.而冬季赤道西风分量所产生的影响, 则在西太平洋上形成显著的偏差气旋环流, 使东亚副热带夏季风减弱, 南海夏季风加强.对于东亚大气环流而言, 与强弱冬季风对应的热带海洋海温异常强迫下, 不仅是冬季, 后期春季和夏季环流的特征都能得到很好的模拟.但是从分区看, 西太平洋暖池区的海温异常比东太平洋更为重要.单纯的热带中东太平洋的海温异常对东亚大气环流的影响主要表现在冬季, 对后期的影响并不十分清楚.整个热带海洋的异常型分布(不论是El Nio还是La Nia)型, 对冬夏季风的影响是重要的, 而单纯的某个地区的海温异常都比它的整体影响要小.从试验结果看, 海温在大尺度冬夏季环流的隔季相关中起了十分重要的作用.     

青藏高原冬季1月绕流的变化特征及其对中国气候的影响

利用1979～2019年NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和中国地面基本气象要素日值数据集（V3.0）的气温和降水资料,首先定义了客观表征冬季青藏高原南北两支绕流变化的指数,然后分析了其不同的变化特征,并采用相关分析、合成分析等方法初步研究了青藏高原南北两支绕流异常变化对中国气温和降水的影响机制。主要结果有:（1）青藏高原冬季北支绕流和南支绕流之间呈显著的负相关;北支（南支）绕流强、南支（北支）绕流弱时,对流层中低纬度地区从高原西部到我国东部沿岸为一个大范围的异常反气旋式（气旋式）环流系统,500 hPa高原的中部为一个异常反气旋（气旋）环流中心。（2）青藏高原冬季南北两支绕流的变化对中国冬季天气气候有显著影响。当青藏高原北支绕流强（弱）时,中国除东北是气温偏低（高）、降水偏多（少）外,河套、青藏高原及长江以南则是气温偏高（低）、降水偏少（多）;当南支绕流强（弱）时,中国气温普遍偏低（高）,东北及新疆北部是降水偏少（多）,南方大部分地区是降水偏多（少）。（3）分析高原绕流异常变化对中国天气气候的影响机制表明:当青藏高原北支绕流强、南支绕流弱时,中国东部35°N以北的对流层中都是异常西北风,35°N以南都是异常东北风,受高原异常纬向绕流影响,对流层大气为明显的“正压结构”;相应的对流层底层从南到北为一致的异常西南风,850 hPa以上35°N的之间为反气旋式切变和下沉运动异常,300 hPa以下异常偏暖,这些条件加强了下沉增温,导致中国东部气温偏高、降水偏少。当青藏高原南支绕流强、北支绕流弱时,对流层中的纬向风异常则为明显的“斜压特征”,异常西风呈现为从对流层低层到高层、低纬度到高纬度的倾斜的带状特征,其下方自华南近地面到华北200 hPa的“三角形”状异常东风,配合相应的经向风异常和华南到华北的异常上升运动,低层为“三角形”状的异常冷气团向南切入到中国南海,中上层为异常偏暖的西南气流在冷气团上自南向北爬升到中高纬度地区,导致中国大范围的气温异常偏低、降水偏多。     

Factors favorable to frequent extreme precipitation in the upper Yangtze River Valley

Extreme precipitation events in the upper Yangtze River Valley (YRV) have recently become an increasingly important focus in China because they often cause droughts and floods. Unfortunately, little is known about the climate processes responsible for these events. This paper investigates factors favorable to frequent extreme precipitation events in the upper YRV. Our results reveal that a weakened South China Sea summer monsoon trough, intensified Eurasian-Pacific blocking highs, an intensified South Asian High, a southward subtropical westerly jet and an intensified Western North Pacific Subtropical High (WNPSH) increase atmospheric instability and enhance the convergence of moisture over the upper YRV, which result in more extreme precipitation events. The snow depth over the eastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) in winter and sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) over three key regions in summer are important external forcing factors in the atmospheric circulation anomalies. Deep snow on the Tibetan Plateau in winter can weaken the subsequent East Asian summer monsoon circulation above by increasing the soil moisture content in summer and weakening the land–sea thermal contrast over East Asia. The positive SSTA in the western North Pacific may affect southwestward extension of the WNPSH and the blocking high over northeastern Asia by arousing the East Asian-Pacific pattern. The positive SSTA in the North Atlantic can affect extreme precipitation event frequency in the upper YRV via a wave train pattern along the westerly jet between the North Atlantic and East Asia. A tripolar pattern from west to east over the Indian Ocean can strengthen moisture transport by enhancing Somali cross-equatorial flow.
