基于WRF模式的云南短时强降水物理量特征

为了解云南短时强降水发生前本地化中尺度WRF(Weather Research Forecast)模式输出结果的物理量特征及其对短时强降水预报的作用,使用WRF模式对2016年云南主汛期(6—8月)5次短时强降水过程进行模拟,利用模式输出的高时空分辨率资料计算5次过程中85个样本在短时强降水发生前6 h水汽类、动力类及不稳定条件类的部分物理量值,使用箱线图分析各物理量的分布特征及其与短时强降水的关系,应用经验累积分布函数图确定各物理量的阈值。研究表明,水汽类物理量样本数据值分布较为集中,随着短时强降水的临近数值逐渐增大;动力类的6 km垂直风切变中位数值及平均值随时间变化很小,所有时次的6 km垂直风切变阈值均低于12 m/s,表明短时强降水发生前有弱垂直风切变;不稳定条件类中对流有效位能样本数据的离散程度较大,对短时强降水无指示意义;LI指数、K指数和700 hPa假相当位温样本数据离散度较小,其中K指数中位数值、平均值及阈值的上下限在短时强降水发生前1 h有显著增大的特征,且数据集中度达到最高,大的K指数值与短时强降水有较好的对应关系。使用物理量阈值推算短时强降水落点的方法对云南本地化WRF模式短时强降水的预报性能有改进作用。     

一次东北冷涡下槽后强风与飑线后向入流演变及成因分析

本文利用NCEP分析资料、多普勒雷达观测资料、常规气象观测资料以及数值模拟结果,对2016年7月30日发生在华北、辽宁附近的一次强飑线过程中后向入流的演变及成因进行研究。结果表明,此次飑线发生在中纬度新生冷涡槽前,低层有水汽辐合区和地面辐合线对应,且过程中伴有较强的对流有效位能释放。飑线后部中层(冷涡槽后)一直存在α中尺度西风大值带,此大风速带造成了上下层相反的水平涡度,并形成喇叭形环流结构,该结构不同于经典飑线结构。飑线后部水平方向上水平涡度分布不均匀,并形成水平涡度旋度上正下负的分布,即导致中层强风区上部上升运动、下部下沉运动,该下沉运动引发飑线中的后向入流和低层强风速带形成。在中层,飑线的后部边缘始终有较强的风速大值带伴随飑线的发展,该大值带的形成与对流强弱和非热成风涡度有关,对流过程中低层非热成风涡度为负,中上层非热成风涡度为正,导致飑线后部中层西风加速和低层西风减速,有利于后向入流的发展和飑线的维持,当对流减弱时,非热成风涡度与后向入流均减弱。文中给出了后向入流形成演变的概念模式。

Asymmetric rainband breaking in Typhoon Haitang (2005) before and after its landfall

Using the WRF (Weather Research Forecast) model, this work performed analysis and simulation on the rainband change during the landfall of Typhoon Haitang (2005) and found that breaking may occur over land and oceans leads to distinct asymmetric precipitation. The breaking is related to the topographic effect as well as interactions between the typhoon and midlatitude systems at upper levels. During the landfall, divergent flows at the 200-hPa level of the South-Asian high combined with divergent flows at the periphery of the typhoon to form a weak, inverted trough in the northwest part of the storm, with the mid- and low-level divergence fields on the west and northwest side of the typhoon center maintaining steadily. It intensifies the upper-level cyclonic flows, in association with positive vorticity rotating counterclockwise together with air currents that travel stepwise into a vorticity zone in the vicinity of the typhoon core, thereby forming a vorticity transfer belt in 22–25? N that extends to the eastern part of the storm. It is right here that the high-level vorticity band is subsiding so that rainfall is prevented from developing, resulting in the rainbelt breaking, which is the principal cause of asymmetric precipitation occurrence. Migrating into its outer region, the banded vorticity of Haitang at high levels causes further amplification of the cyclonic circulation in the western part and transfer of positive vorticity into the typhoon such that the rainband breaking is more distinct.     

“莫拉克”台风（2009）登陆前后强度与结构分析

利用NCEP每日4次全球预报场(GFS)分析资料、卫星云图资料以及实况观测台风路径、强度资料对0908号台风"莫拉克"在台湾登陆前后其强度、结构变化特征进行天气动力学诊断分析,从而为台风强度、结构预报提供参考依据。结果表明:(1)低层切向风大值区中心所在半径处的切向风非对称性幅度之切向平均值可作为诊断分析台风强度的一个重要参考指标;(2)"莫拉克"中心高层干位涡大值区具有沿着低层切向风大值区中心内侧的切向风梯度密集带向下延伸的趋势;(3)未考虑摩擦、湍流混合的柱坐标切向风运动方程主要有四项是决定切向风变化的,即切向风径向平流项、切向风垂直输送项、惯性离心力作用项以及地转偏向力作用项;(4)台风低层辐合中心在切向上具有沿着切向风梯度密集区移动、发展的趋势。     

2000—2009年5、6月华南暖区暴雨形成系统统计分析

利用2000—2009年5月和6月的NCEP 1°×1°再分析资料和气象台站常规资料,对产生华南暖区暴雨的500 hPa及以下的环流特征进行统计分析,并将影响暖区暴雨的环流系统划分为三大类型,即切变线型、低涡型和偏南风风速切变辐合型(简称偏南风型)。切变线型在南海夏季风爆发前以冷式切变为主,季风爆发后以暖式切变为主;低涡型在季风爆发前的发生次数远少于季风爆发后,在低涡中心的东北-东南方向最易产生暖区暴雨;偏南风型总体以西风风速切变辐合为主,而南风风速切变辐合在季风爆发后的比例有所增加。对影响暖区暴雨的高空槽分析发现,高原槽对暖区暴雨影响明显,其次为南支槽。低涡型最易受高空槽影响。对各种类型暖区暴雨的合成分析发现,各类型暖区暴雨500 hPa高空槽的位置特点均不相同,暴雨辐合中心均在850hPa以下的低层,副高脊线距雨区约6～8纬距是产生华南暖区暴雨的重要天气形势。     

ANALYSIS OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SUSTAINED TORRENTIAL RAINS IN JUNES DURING 1958-2000

Day-to-day precipitation data of Junes during the 43 years of 1958-2000 from stations to the south of Yangtze River are used to divide regions and run statistical analysis of sustained torrential rainfall processes. A preliminary analysis is then made based on it and the results show that June is the month in which torrential rains in the southern half of China take place frequently and sustained torrential rains occur at the same time in South China and the area to the south of Yangtze River. In addition, the analysis gives the basic features of sustained torrential rains of June in China and their interannual variability patterns, with the suggestion that the amount of these events increases significantly after the 1990s. Lastly, the sustained torrential rains occurring in Junes of 1994, 1998 and 2005 in the southern half of China are taken as examples in the research on the basic patterns and formation mechanisms of the evolution of double rain-bands during the rain season in South China and the area to the south of Yangtze River. The analysis shows that the large scale environment field in which sustained torrential rains occur is related to the stable sustaining of the South Asia High and upper level jet streams.     

台风“海棠”的螺旋雨带结构及特征

利用中尺度数值模式WRF对2005年7月19—20日台风＂海棠＂登陆前后螺旋雨带的结构及特征进行了模拟和诊断分析。结果表明,本次台风造成的沿海暴雨与主次两条雨带活动有关。主雨带是涡旋Rossby波激发的螺旋雨带,与850 hPa正涡度带有很好的对应关系,降水强度大,辐合层次低,处在温度和切向风速梯度最大处。次雨带辐合层次相对较高,最大温度梯度和相当位温梯度发生在700 hPa以上,无明显切向风梯度配合,其发展主要与台风中心附近的阶梯状相当位温锋区有关。当台风中雨带合并时,易造成降水增幅。台风登陆前后存在螺旋雨带的断裂现象,台风中心西侧及西北侧的中低层的辐散流场使高层的气旋性流场出现和加强,台风在高层的气旋性环流与西部低压结合,使台风西部产生辐合,引起螺旋雨带的断裂,当高层的低压形成明显的气旋式切变时,也可使切变下方螺旋雨带断裂。     

2013—2017年夏季东北冷涡下东北地区MCS的统计特征

利用2013—2017年6—8月FY-2E和FY-2G地球静止卫星相当黑体温度（Black Body Temperature,TBB）资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对我国夏季东北冷涡下东北地区MCS的分布和活动特征进行了统计分析,结果表明：（1） MCS的活动具有明显的月际变化和日变化特征,6月对流活动最活跃。MCS的主要移向是东、东北和东南,平均移动距离3.99个经纬距。（2） MCS成熟时刻的面积、偏心率和生命史均小于江淮地区以及中国中东部,云顶高度低于江淮地区,整个生命史表现出发展快消亡慢的特征,与江淮地区相反。（3）基于MCS的定义得到的Z标准,对2016—2017年的MCS作了统计分析并与J标准统计得到的MCS进行对比,得出,两种定义下的MCS环境场特征基本一致,主要表现为MCS多生成于500 hPa槽前和槽后,对流层高层MCS位于双急流之间靠近北支急流的辐散区,南侧急流高度在200 hPa,北侧的急流高度在250 hPa。低层,位于低空急流左侧,低涡南侧、东南侧,有较强的水汽和动量输送。槽前生成的MCS南侧中层存在垂直反环流向MCS输送干暖空气与位涡,槽后生成的MCS两侧均有大值位涡向其输送,同时北侧冷干空气的输送使锋区及上升运动加强,更有利于MCS的形成。（4）两种标准下的MCS造成的降水明显不同,在统计强降水方面Z标准要优于J标准。由于Z标准空间与时间尺度较小,统计得到的MCS较多;但同时会遗漏部分相对弱的MCS。     

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HORIZONTAL VORTICITY INDUCED BY VERTICAL SHEAR AND VERTICAL MOTION DURING A SQUALL LINE PROCESS

The horizontal vorticity equation used in this study was obtained using the equations of motion in the pressure coordinate system without considering friction, to reveal its relationship with vertical shear. By diagnostically analyzing each term in the horizontal vorticity equation during a squall line process that occurred on 19 June 2010, we found that the non-thermal wind term had a negative contribution to the local change of upward movement in the low-level atmosphere, and that its impact changed gradually from negative to positive with altitude, which could influence upward movement in the mid- and upper-level atmosphere greatly. The contribution of upward vertical transport to vertical movement was the largest in the low-level atmosphere, but had negative contribution to the upper-level atmosphere. These features were most evident in the development stage of the squall line. Based on analysis of convection cells along a squall line, we found that in the process of cell development diabatic heating caused the subsidence of constant potential temperature surface and non- geostrophic motion, which then triggered strong convergence of horizontal acceleration in the mid-level atmosphere and divergence of horizontal acceleration in the upper-level atmosphere. These changes of horizontal wind field could cause a counterclockwise increment of the horizontal vorticity around the warm cell, which then generated an increase of upward movement. This was the main reason why the non-thermal wind term had the largest contribution to the strengthening of upward movement in the mid- and upper-level atmosphere. The vertical transport of large value of horizontal vorticity was the key to trigger convection in this squall line process.
