基于4种高分辨率模式的辽宁省雷达回波预报邻域检验结果对比

选取2017—2018年6—9月辽宁省不同降水性质, 具有2种不同特征的20次天气过程个例, 应用模糊检验邻域法中的分数技巧评分(Fraction Skill Score, FSS), 评估华东模式、华北模式、GRAPES_3km模式和睿图东北模式对辽宁省中小尺度系统的预报能力。结果表明: 区域性降水过程和局地性降水过程雷达回波强度越小, 邻域半径越大, 高分辨率模式预报技巧越高。当雷达回波大于30 dBz时, 各高分辨率模式对局地性降水的雷达回波预报FSS评分均较高。当邻域半径为3 km时, 区域性降水过程中, 华北模式预报技巧在各级别雷达回波预报中均高于其他模式, 最大FSS差值为0.031。局地性降水过程中, 华东模式预报效果较好, 最大FSS评分为0.127, 表明华东模式预报中小尺度对流系统能力更强。局地性降水过程, 睿图东北模式在08—23时预报时次中, “中间”时次的预报效果优于“两头”时次的预报, 两个时次最大FSS差值为0.121。     

基于FSS的高分辨率模式华北对流预报能力评估

目前高分辨率数值预报模式已具有一定的对流系统结构和演变特征预报能力,但对其预报能力的客观评估仍存在较多不足。选取2017年7—9月华北地区在不同天气系统背景下、具有不同组织模态的7次对流天气个例,使用模糊检验方法中的分数技巧评分（fraction skill score,简称FSS）指标评估不同高分辨率模式（包括快速更新同化GRAPES_Meso,GRAPES_3 km及华东区域中尺度模式）对中小尺度对流过程的预报能力。结果表明:分数技巧评分能够实现当模式预报存在位移和强度偏差时仍然给出有价值的评分结果,其优势还在于可以给出表征模式空间位移偏差尺度的预报技巧尺度信息;所用3个模式的雷达回波强度预报均偏弱,当回波强度小于44 dBZ时,华东区域中尺度模式预报最接近实况,而对于44 dBZ以上的较强回波,GRAPES_3 km模式预报偏差最小;采用百分位阈值（通过升序排列求出预报和实况数列的相同百分位数作为其相应的阈值）进行检验发现,对于预报难度更大的高阈值、小尺度的对流事件,GRAPES_3 km模式预报能力更强。     

改进的AREMS对2003年汛期降水预报及对比检验

利用包含三维变分同化的中尺度暴雨数值预报模式系统AREMS和AREM2．1对2003年主汛期（6-8月）进行了每天两个时次（08时和20时）的实时平行预报试验。对24h累积降水量预报进行了分区检验，结果表明：（1）AREMS对我国夏季降水具有较强预报能力，长江中下游地区TS评分最高。长江中下游、华北和华南地区空报率大于漏报率，东北和西南地区东部则相反。（2）模式条件的改变（模式层顶、侧边界条件及初值分析）对不同区域24h降水预报的影响程度不同：6-8月平均而言，影响最显著的是东北、华北地区，然后依次为华南、西南地区东部，影响最小的是长江中下游地区。（3）模式条件的改变对不同区域TS评分影响不同：6-8月平均而言，AREMS对东北地区降水预报效果改进最显著，特别是12-36h时效的降水预报；对华北地区的改进也非常明显；对华南地区降水预报水平整体下降；对长江中下游和西南地区东部改进不明显。（4）模式条件的改变对不同区域空报率和漏报率影响不同：华北漏报率明显减小，但空报率有所增加；东北绝大多数的空报率与漏报率都较AREM2．1有所减小；西南东部地区，08时漏报率略有所减小，空报率增大，20时反之。（5）长江中下游、华南和西南地区东部TS评分差值在6、7、8各月变化明显。     

地形重力波拖曳参数化对热带气旋强度和路径预报影响的研究

本文在GRAPES_TMM（Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System for Tropical Mesoscale Model）——中国南海台风模式版（面向南海和东南亚）中发展和引进了KA95（Kim and Arakawa,1995）地形重力波拖曳参数化方案（GWDO）,并对2012年主要的9个登陆台风进行了试验对比研究,考察了不同标准Richardson数（Ri_c）的GWDO试验对台风路径和强度预报的影响。结果表明,在引入地形重力波拖曳参数化过程后,模式对台风登陆时路径和强度的预报能力均要有提高,对台风预报时长越长,GWDO的影响也更为显著。对双台风“SAOLA”和“DAMREY”试验结果表明,GWDO对台风外围距台风中心150 km的对流层中下层风速减弱较为明显,减弱了GRAPES区域模式对台风强度预报偏强的现象,对台风强度长时间预报改善更为明显。不同标准Ri_c对重力波拖曳力的计算较为敏感,当Ri_c取1.0时,动能迅速的在低层被频散,能量无法有效地上传;Ri_c取0.25时,大部分的能量在中高层被频散。总的来说,Ri_c取0.75时对台风路径和强度预报改进更为显著,其结果可为业务预报提供指导意义。     

Evaluation of radar and automatic weather station data assimilation for a heavy rainfall event in southern China

To improve the accuracy of short-term(0–12 h) forecasts of severe weather in southern China, a real-time storm-scale forecasting system, the Hourly Assimilation and Prediction System(HAPS), has been implemented in Shenzhen, China. The forecasting system is characterized by combining the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF-ARW)model and the Advanced Regional Prediction System(ARPS) three-dimensional variational data assimilation(3DVAR) package. It is capable of assimilating radar reflectivity and radial velocity data from multiple Doppler radars as well as surface automatic weather station(AWS) data. Experiments are designed to evaluate the impacts of data assimilation on quantitative precipitation forecasting(QPF) by studying a heavy rainfall event in southern China. The forecasts from these experiments are verified against radar, surface, and precipitation observations. Comparison of echo structure and accumulated precipitation suggests that radar data assimilation is useful in improving the short-term forecast by capturing the location and orientation of the band of accumulated rainfall. The assimilation of radar data improves the short-term precipitation forecast skill by up to9 hours by producing more convection. The slight but generally positive impact that surface AWS data has on the forecast of near-surface variables can last up to 6–9 hours. The assimilation of AWS observations alone has some benefit for improving the Fractions Skill Score(FSS) and bias scores; when radar data are assimilated, the additional AWS data may increase the degree of rainfall overprediction.     

IAU-Replay初始化方法在华南暖区暴雨模拟中的应用研究

基于TRAMS （Tropical Regional Atmospheric Model System）区域模式和ECMWF （European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting）全球分析场资料，对一次华南暖区暴雨过程进行IAU-Replay模拟试验。由于本次个例模拟试验的分析时刻ECMWF分析场和TRAMS模式正好处于比较协调的状态，直接使用全球分析场进行冷启动也不会激发虚假高频短波，因此IAU-Replay方法对于模拟结果的初始平衡性影响较小。从动力场和水物质场的对比可以发现，IAU-Replay方法通过提前启动模式有效避免了Spin-up过程的影响，这对于降水预报具有明显的改进效果。对IAU-Replay中不同预热时间的敏感性进行测试，发现当预热时间从6 h延长至12 h后模式可以更加合理地模拟出与对流系统中直接相关的中小尺度信息，从而使降水预报效果更接近实况。连续一周的预报结果评估进一步验证了IAU-Replay技术的有效性。     

A Regional Ensemble Forecast System for Stratiform Precipitation Events in Northern China. Part I: A Case Study

A single-model,short-range,ensemble forecasting system (Institute of Atmospheric Physics,Regional Ensemble Forecast System,IAP REFS) with 15-km grid spacing,configured with multiple initial conditions,multiple lateral boundary conditions,and multiple physics parameterizations with 11 ensemble members,was developed using the Weather and Research Forecasting Model Advanced Research modeling system for prediction of stratiform precipitation events in northern China.This is the first part of a broader research project to develop a novel cloud-seeding operational system in a probabilistic framework.The ensemble perturbations were extracted from selected members of the National Center for Environmental Prediction Global Ensemble Forecasting System (NCEP GEFS) forecasts,and an inflation factor of two was applied to compensate for the lack of spread in the GEFS forecasts over the research region.Experiments on an actual stratiform precipitation case that occurred on 5-7 June 2009 in northern China were conducted to validate the ensemble system.The IAP REFS system had reasonably good performance in predicting the observed stratiform precipitation system.The perturbation inflation enlarged the ensemble spread and alleviated the underdispersion caused by parent forecasts.Centering the extracted perturbations on higher-resolution NCEP Global Forecast System forecasts resulted in less ensemble mean root-mean-square error and better accuracy in probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecasts (PQPF).However,the perturbation inflation and recentering had less effect on near-surface-level variables compared to the mid-level variables,and its influence on PQPF resolution was limited as well.     

华南区域高分辨率数值模式前汛期预报初步评估

基于华南地区自动站逐小时观测资料, 采用传统站点评分、邻域法等评估华南区域高分辨率数值模式(包括GRAPES_GZ_R 1 km模式和GRAPES_GZ 3 km模式)对降水、地面温度和风场等要素的预报能力。结果表明: GRAPES_GZ_R 1 km模式的降水预报技巧优于GRAPES_GZ 3 km模式, 模式预报以正偏差为主。对于不同起报时间的预报, 00时(世界时, 下同)起报的预报效果优于12时。GRAPES_GZ_R 1 km模式的TS评分是GRAPES_GZ 3 km模式的两倍以上, 对不同降水阈值的评分均较高。分数技巧评分(FSS)显示GRAPES_GZ_R 1 km模式6 h累计降水预报在0.1 mm、1 mm及5 mm以上的降水均可达到最低预报技巧尺度, 对所检验降水对象的空间位置把握能力更好。2 m气温和10 m风速检验结果表明两个模式均能较好把握广东省温度的分布特征, GRAPES_GZ_R 1 km模式对2 m气温预报结果优于GRAPES_GZ 3 km模式, 预报绝对误差更小; 两个模式对风速的预报整体偏强, 预报偏差在1~4 m/s之间, 但相比之下GRAPES_GZ 3 km模式在风场预报上表现更好。GRAPES_GZ_R 1 km模式的2 m气温和10 m风速预报偏差随降水过程存在明显波动, 强降水过后温度预报整体偏低, 风速预报偏强, 在模式产品订正、使用等需要考虑模式对主要天气系统的预报情况。总的来说, GRAPES_GZ_R 1 km模式的预报产品具有较好的参考价值。      

非静力AREM模式设计及其数值模拟II:数值模拟试验

在程锐等（2018）中,我们完成了非静力AREM（Advanced Regional Eta-coordinate Model）模式动力框架设计。本文将通过理想和实例试验检验其模拟能力。设计理想试验并通过与国际成熟的中尺度非静力框架比较,直接检验非静力AREM三维动力框架在细致分辨率（约1 km）下的模拟性能。可以看出,非静力AREM与ARPS（Advanced Regional Prediction System）、WRF（Weather Research and Forecasting Model）模拟出类似的积云对流结构及演变特征,从而基本确证了本文发展的非静力框架的正确性。结合原静力平衡模式的初始化和物理参数化过程,形成非静力AREM模式系统。台风实例模拟表明,粗分辨率下静力、非静力AREM模式性能接近;但在高分辨率下,非静力明显优于静力模式。我们还开展了批量降水试验检验,对非静力AREM模式性能进行了进一步的验证。     

Improved Wind and Precipitation Forecasts over South China Using a Modified Orographic Drag Parameterization Scheme

To improve the wind and precipitation forecasts over South China, a modified orographic drag parameterization(OP) scheme that considers both the gravity wave drag(GWD) and the mountain blocking drag(MBD) effects was implemented in the Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System Tropical Mesoscale Model(GRAPES-TMM). Simulations were performed over one month starting from 1200 UTC19 June 2013. The initial and lateral boundary conditions were obtained from the NCEP global forecast system output. The simulation results were compared among a control(CTL) experiment without the OP scheme, a GWDO experiment with the OP scheme that considers only the GWD effect, and an MBD experiment with the modified OP scheme(including both GWD and MBD). The simulation with the modified OP scheme successfully captured the main features of precipitation, including its distribution and intensity,and improved the wind circulation forecast in the lower troposphere. The modified OP scheme appears to improve the wind forecast by accelerating the ascending air motion and reinforcing the convergence in the rainfall area. Overall, the modified OP scheme exerts positive impacts on the forecast of large-scale atmospheric fields in South China.     

High-resolution simulations for Vietnam - methodology and evaluation of current climate

To assist the government of Vietnam in its efforts to better understand the impacts of climate change and prioritise its adaptation measures, dynamically downscaled climate change projections were produced across Vietnam. Two Regional Climate Models (RCMs) were used: CSIRO’s variable-resolution Conformal-Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) and the limited-area model Regional Climate Model system version 4.2 (RegCM4.2). First, global CCAM simulations were completed using bias- and variance-corrected sea surface temperatures as well as sea ice concentrations from six Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) global climate models. This approach is different from other downscaling approaches as it does not use any atmospheric fields from the GCMs. The global CCAM simulations were then further downscaled to 10 km using CCAM and to 20 km using RegCM4.2. Evaluations of temperature and precipitation for the current climate (1980-2000) were completed using station data as well as various gridded observational datasets. The RCMs were able to reproduce reasonably well most of the important characteristics of observed spatial patterns and annual cycles of temperature. Average and minimum temperatures were well simulated (biases generally less than 1oC), while maximum temperatures had biases of around 1oC. For precipitation, although the RCMs captured the annual cycle, RegCM4.2 was too dry in Oct.-Nov. (-60% bias), while CCAM was too wet in Dec.- Mar. (130% bias). Both models were too dry in summer and too wet in winter (especially in northern Vietnam). The ability of the ensemble simulations to capture current climate increases confidence in the simulations of future climate.     

Evaluation of the Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System for Predicting Sea Fog over the South China Sea

In the South China Sea, sea fog brings severe disasters every year, but forecasters have yet to implement an effective seafog forecast. To address this issue, we test a liquid-water-content-only(LWC-only) operational sea-fog prediction method based on a regional mesoscale numerical model with a horizontal resolution of about 3 km, the Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System(GRAPES), hereafter GRAPES-3 km. GRAPES-3 km models the LWC over the sea, from which we infer the visibility that is then used to identify fog. We test the GRAPES-3 km here against measurements in 2016 and 2017 from coastal-station observations, as well as from buoy data, data from the Integrated Observation Platform for Marine Meteorology, and retrieved fog and cloud patterns from Himawari-8 satellite data. For two cases that we examine in detail, the forecast region of sea fog overlaps well with the multi-observational data within 72 h. Considering forecasting for0–24 h, GRAPES-3 km has a 2-year-average equitable threat score(ETS) of 0.20 and a Heidke skill score(HSS) of 0.335,which is about 5.6%(ETS) and 6.4%(HSS) better than our previous method(GRAPES-MOS). Moreover, the stations near the particularly foggy region around the Leizhou Peninsula have relatively high forecast scores compared to other sea areas.Overall, the results show that GRAPES-3 km can roughly predict the formation, evolution, and dissipation of sea fog on the southern China coast.     

多普勒雷达资料在中尺度模式短时预报中的应用

将国内新一代多普勒雷达基数据Lev-Ⅱ的9个仰角的原始反射率和径向风资料应用于中尺度模式ARPS(the Advanced Regional Prediction System),通过对2007年7月18日济南短时特大暴雨过程的个例研究,分析了雷达资料对初始场的改进效果及其对模拟结果的影响。结果表明,同时利用雷达反射率和径向风资料改进过的初始场能明显改善中尺度数值模式短时定量降水预报。对比风场发现,雷达径向风调整后在初始场中出现明显的中小尺度特征,能减少模式的spin-up时间。随着积分的进行,对水汽场的调节也有一定作用,但相对于风场调节不够显著。雷达反射率主要是改进初始场中的湿度参数,增加初始场中云水等含量。积分开始后,对风场调整也很显著。此次模拟,控制试验较好地预报出雷达回波的分布和水汽中心,对应的降水落区与实况也较为接近,但对雷达回波中心强度的预报略大,相应地降水量的预报也偏大。

利用中科院大气所9层大气环流格点模式(IAP9L—AGCM)和IAP—ENSO预测系统对2002年中国夏季气候进行实时集合预测及其检验。结果显示，IAP9L—AGCM较好地预测出了2002年夏季我国大范围旱涝的分布形势，如华南、我国西部多雨，黄河和长江流域之间大范围干旱等；850hPa减弱的夏季风、青藏高原辐散中心以及北太平洋上空的异常气旋性环流中心亦被较好地预报出来；不足的是，模式对降水异常细致分布的预测能力有限。预测结果还表明，该模式对夏季(6—8月)平均降水的预报技巧要高于月平均状况，且月平均预报的准确度从6—8月依次递减。

A regional climate model downscaling projection of China future climate change

Climate changes over China from the present (1990–1999) to future (2046–2055) under the A1FI (fossil fuel intensive) and A1B (balanced) emission scenarios are projected using the Regional Climate Model version 3 (RegCM3) nests with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate System Model (CCSM). For the present climate, RegCM3 downscaling corrects several major deficiencies in the driving CCSM, especially the wet and cold biases over the Sichuan Basin. As compared with CCSM, RegCM3 produces systematic higher spatial pattern correlation coefficients with observations for precipitation and surface air temperature except during winter. The projected future precipitation changes differ largely between CCSM and RegCM3, with strong regional and seasonal dependence. The RegCM3 downscaling produces larger regional precipitation trends (both decreases and increases) than the driving CCSM. Contrast to substantial trend differences projected by CCSM, RegCM3 produces similar precipitation spatial patterns under different scenarios except autumn. Surface air temperature is projected to consistently increase by both CCSM and RegCM3, with greater warming under A1FI than A1B. The result demonstrates that different scenarios can induce large uncertainties even with the same RCM-GCM nesting system. Largest temperature increases are projected in the Tibetan Plateau during winter and high-latitude areas in the northern China during summer under both scenarios. This indicates that high elevation and northern regions are more vulnerable to climate change. Notable discrepancies for precipitation and surface air temperature simulated by RegCM3 with the driving conditions of CCSM versus the model for interdisciplinary research on climate under the same A1B scenario further complicated the uncertainty issue. The geographic distributions for precipitation difference among various simulations are very similar between the present and future climate with very high spatial pattern correlation coefficients. The result suggests that the model present climate biases are systematically propagate into the future climate projections. The impacts of the model present biases on projected future trends are, however, highly nonlinear and regional specific, and thus cannot be simply removed by a linear method. A model with more realistic present climate simulations is anticipated to yield future climate projections with higher credibility.     

IMPROVED FORECASTING OF COLD AIR OUTBREAKS OVER SOUTHERN CHINA THROUGH OROGRAPHIC GRAVITY WAVE DRAG PARAMETERIZATION

The parameterization of gravity wave drag induced by sub-grid scale orography(GWDO), which has been used in the regional model based on the Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System for Tropical Mesoscale Model(GRAPES_TMM), is extended to include the effect of mountain flow blocking drag(MBD). The extended scheme is evaluated against non-GWDO parameterization, including a cold air outbreak over southern China and a monthly verification in February 2012. The experiment results show that the GWDO and MBD parameterization both improves the forecasting of the cold air outbreaks over southern China, as well as alleviations of system bias of GRAPES_TMM.(1) The extended scheme alleviates the strong southerly wind and high surface temperature simulation during the cold air outbreak, especially over northern Guangxi and Guangdong(NGG) province, where local high surface temperature simulation reduces nearly 5 degree.(2) The MBD parameterization improves southerly wind simulations over NGG, as well as surface temperature forecasts improvement over Guangxi, Guizhou province and southern Yunnan-Guizhou plateau(YUP), and low level southerly wind simulation improvement over intertidal zone over south China.(3) The formation of MBD is mainly in the mountain area(Wuyi, Daba mountain, east of YUP) and coastal area. The MBD over plateau, which is mainly formed at the west of 105°E, is stronger and thicker than that over Nanling mountain.(4) The improvement of GWDO and MBD parameterization is stable in model physics. MBD parameterization demonstrates more overall improvements in the forecasts than GWDO, and the larger of the model forecast error is, the greater improvements of MBD contribute to. Overall, the extended GWDO scheme successfully improves the simulations of meteorological elements forecasting during cold air outbreaks.     

Turbulence modelling over two-dimensional hills using an Algebraic Reynolds Stress Expression

We carry out model studies of turbulence quantities for flow over two-dimensional hills using a non-hydrostatic version of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). We test two turbulence closure models: the first one is an explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Model (ARSM) and the second one is a combination of the ARSM and a transport equation for the shear stress {ovuw}. Model predictions for the turbulent stresses are compared with data from a wind-tunnel experiment containing isolated two-dimensional hills of varying slope. From the comparison, it is concluded that the first model can only predict the normal stresses adequately while the second model provides satisfactory predictions for the normal stresses as well as giving an improved result for the shear stress {ovuw}.     

不同区域气候模式对中国地区温度和降水的长期模拟比较

利用亚洲区域模式比较计划RMIP第二阶段五个区域模式和一个变网格全球模式，对中国地区1988年12月～1998年11月十年模拟的平均温度和降水结果，分析比较了不同区域气候模式对中国地区温度和降水的模拟能力。研究结果表明:几乎所有模式都能模拟出中国地区多年平均温度和降水的基本空间分布形态，但模式模拟的温度普遍偏低，在大部分区域，大多数模式模拟的降水偏多，而且不同模式之间存在较大差别。模式能较好地反映出中国地区温度的年际变化，对夏季降水的年际变化模拟较差，对冬季模拟较好。
