热带太平洋、印度洋海温异常在菲律宾海异常反气旋建立过程中的作用

利用NCEP/NCAR的1948—2000年逐月再分析资料、NOAA气候诊断中心的1948年1月—2000年1月的海表温度扩展重建资料、美国NOAA2-CIRES气候诊断中心提供的1974年6月—2008年1月向外长波辐射资料,采用诊断分析方法主要探讨了热带太平洋、印度洋海温异常事件在热带低层异常反气旋东移发展最后到达菲律宾海成为菲律宾反气旋过程中的作用。结果表明:(1)初秋南亚印度洋上发展起来的低层异常反气旋在东部干冷西部湿热的水平不对称分布和热带西太平洋海洋性大陆上存在的大尺度辐散异常条件下都会向东移动发展,而上述条件与热带海表温度异常及其演变特征有着密切联系。(2)单纯厄尔尼诺事件,单纯印度洋正偶极子事件下的海温异常分布特征有利于形成东部干冷西部湿热的水平不对称分布和热带海洋大陆上的大尺度辐散异常。相对于厄尔尼诺事件,印度洋正偶极子事件是一个较弱且短暂的海洋事件,因此单纯印度洋正偶极子事件下到达菲律宾海地区的低层异常反气旋(即菲律宾异常反气旋)相对较弱,持续时间短。(3)在有印度洋正偶极子发生的厄尔尼诺事件中,两大洋的海温异常分布和显著的大尺度辐散异常更加有利于低层异常反气旋东移发展,在两大洋共同作用下使到达菲律宾海的低层异常反气旋(即菲律宾异常反气旋)相对于在单纯的某种海温异常事件作用的菲律宾异常反气旋强度更大,持续时间更长。     

The Seasonal Prediction of the Exceptional Yangtze River Rainfall in Summer 2020

During June and July of 2020, the Yangtze River basin suffered from extreme mei-yu rainfall and catastrophic flooding. This study explores the seasonal predictability and associated dynamical causes for this extreme Yangtze River rainfall event, based on forecasts from the Met Office GloSea5 operational forecast system. The forecasts successfully predicted above-average rainfall over the Yangtze River basin, which arose from the successful reproduction of the anomalous western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH). Our results indicate that both the Indian Ocean warm sea surface temperature (SST) and local WNP SST gradient were responsible for the westward extension of the WNPSH, and the forecasts captured these tropical signals well. We explore extratropical drivers but find a large model spread among the forecast members regarding the meridional displacements of the East Asian mid-latitude westerly jet (EAJ). The forecast members with an evident southward displacement of the EAJ favored more extreme Yangtze River rainfall. However, the forecast Yangtze River rainfall anomaly was weaker compared to that was observed and no member showed such strong rainfall. In observations, the EAJ displayed an evident acceleration in summer 2020, which could lead to a significant wind convergence in the lower troposphere around the Yangtze River basin, and favor more mei-yu rainfall. The model forecast failed to satisfactorily reproduce these processes. This difference implies that the observed enhancement of the EAJ intensity gave a large boost to the Yangtze River rainfall, hindering a better forecast of the intensity of the event and disaster mitigation.     

西北太平洋夏季风对中国长江流域夏季降水的影响

利用1979～2005年NCEP/NCAR的环流场再分析资料和降水资料, 通过对季风期降水、 大气环流、 水汽输送及低频振荡等方面的分析, 分别从时间和空间上分析了西北太平洋夏季风与中国长江流域夏季降水的联系。结果表明:(1) 西北太平洋夏季风与中国长江流域夏季降水存在显著的负相关关系, 在西北太平洋夏季风强盛时, 副热带高压异常偏北, 其西侧的偏南气流异常偏弱, 使得我国长江流域形成低层异常环流及水汽输送的辐散区, 从而造成长江流域夏季降水偏少; 而在西北太平洋夏季风减弱的年份, 西太平洋副高异常偏南偏西, 在长江流域以南地区形成异常偏强的偏南风水汽输送, 使得长江流域成为南、 北距平风的汇合区, 其上空对流活动异常活跃, 非常有利于长江流域的降水。 (2) 东亚局地Hadley垂直环流在强、 弱季风年也显著不同, 在强季风年里, Hadley局地环流异常偏弱, 长江流域上空出现的下沉运动距平, 使得该地区降水减弱, 而弱季风年则正好相反。 (3) 西北太平洋夏季风存在显著的气候平均的大气季节内振荡 (CISO), 在西北太平洋夏季风减弱时期, 长江流域降水同时受到源自热带西北太平洋西传CISO和源自热带印度洋东传CISO的共同影响, 可能造成了某种锁相关系, 从而造成降水偏多; 而在强季风年里长江流域只受由西太平洋西传的CISO的影响, 不容易激发降水。     

夏季黄河流域降水气候特征及其与大气环流的关系

本文基于1958—2015年夏季黄河流域55个观测站降水量和NCEP/NCAR再分析1高度场等资料,使用MannKendall突变检验、合成分析和Monte Carlo检验等气候统计方法,分析了黄河流域58年夏季降水量的气候变化特征,以及导致其变化的大气环流成因。58年期间,黄河流域夏季降水量总体呈减少趋势,尤其在河套北部有显著性减少趋势,其主要原因是欧亚中高纬度等压面升高、西风带减弱所致;1975年和1996年是黄河流域夏季降水的两个明显年代际气候变化转折点,在1958—1975年期间,黄河流域夏季降水量年际变化大,异常偏多和偏少年出现频次较高,期间欧亚中高纬度及其以南包括黄河流域地区高度场偏低,主要受高空低压系统和较强冷空气影响;在1976—1995年期间,黄河流域大部降水偏多,其主要环流成因为乌拉尔山阻塞高压发展、贝加尔湖到东北亚一带受负高度距平控制高空槽加深,同时,来自南方的暖湿气流输送增强;到1996—2015年最近20年间,乌拉尔山北部环流高度场偏低、里海至贝加尔湖再到东北亚一带高度场一致偏高,黄河流域一带西风带强度和冷空气势力均较弱,流域受高压影响导致大部区域降水偏少。不同时期黄河各流域段降水量与中高纬度阻塞高压以及与西北太平洋副热带高压的相关关系分析进一步说明了上述结论。     

Toward Understanding the Extreme Floods over Yangtze River Valley in June?July 2020: Role of Tropical Oceans※

The extreme floods in the Middle/Lower Yangtze River Valley (MLYRV) during June?July 2020 caused more than 170 billion Chinese Yuan direct economic losses. Here, we examine the key features related to this extreme event and explore relative contributions of SST anomalies in different tropical oceans. Our results reveal that the extreme floods over the MLYRV were tightly related to a strong anomalous anticyclone persisting over the western North Pacific, which brought tropical warm moisture northward that converged over the MLYRV. In addition, despite the absence of a strong El Ni?o in 2019/2020 winter, the mean SST anomaly in the tropical Indian Ocean during June?July 2020 reached its highest value over the last 40 years, and 43％ (57％) of it is attributed to the multi-decadal warming trend (interannual variability). Based on the NUIST CFS1.0 model that successfully predicted the wet conditions over the MLYRV in summer 2020 initiated from 1 March 2020 (albeit the magnitude of the predicted precipitation was only about one-seventh of the observed), sensitivity experiment results suggest that the warm SST condition in the Indian Ocean played a dominant role in generating the extreme floods, compared to the contributions of SST anomalies in the Maritime Continent, central and eastern equatorial Pacific, and North Atlantic. Furthermore, both the multi-decadal warming trend and the interannual variability of the Indian Ocean SSTs had positive impacts on the extreme floods. Our results imply that the strong multi-decadal warming trend in the Indian Ocean needs to be taken into consideration for the prediction/projection of summer extreme floods over the MLYRV in the future.

2020年夏季我国气候异常特征及成因分析

2020年夏季我国天气气候极为异常,全国平均降水量为373.0 mm,较常年同期偏多14.7%,为1961年以来次多;季节内阶段性特征显著,6—7月多雨带主要位于江南大部—江淮地区,8月则主要在东北、华北及西南地区,致使2020年夏季雨型分布异常,不是传统认识上的四类雨型分布。通过对同期大气环流和热带海温等异常特征分析发现,6—7月,欧亚中高纬环流表现为"两脊一槽"型,东亚副热带夏季风异常偏弱,西太平洋副热带高压(以下简称西太副高)较常年同期显著偏强、偏西,第一次季节性北跳偏早,第二次北跳明显偏晚,且表现出明显的准双周振荡特征;使得来自西北太平洋的转向水汽输送偏强,并与中高纬不断南下的冷空气活动相配合,水汽通量异常辐合区主要位于长江中下游地区,导致江淮梅雨异常偏多。热带印度洋持续偏暖对维持6—7月西太副高偏强偏西及东亚夏季风异常偏弱起到了重要作用。8月,欧亚中高纬环流调整为"两槽一脊"型,蒙古低压活跃;西太副高也由前期偏纬向型的带状分布转为"块状"分布,脊线位置偏北;沿西太副高外围的异常西南风水汽输送延伸至华北一东北南部,形成自西南到东北的异常多雨带,与6—7月江淮流域降水异常偏多的空...     

Decadal Change in the Influence of the Western North Pacific Subtropical High on Summer Rainfall over the Yangtze River Basin in the Late 1970s

It is well known that on the interannual timescale, the westward extension of the western North Pacific subtropical high(WNPSH) results in enhanced rainfall over the Yangtze River basin(YRB) in summer, and vice versa. This study identifies that this correspondence experiences a decadal change in the late 1970 s. That is, the WNPSH significantly affects YRB precipitation(YRBP) after the late 1970 s(P2) but not before the late 1970 s(P1). It is found that enhanced interannual variability of the WNPSH favors its effect on YRB rainfall in P2. On the other hand, after removing the strong WNPSH cases in P2 and making the WNPSH variability equivalent to that in P1, the WNPSH can still significantly affect YRB rainfall, suggesting that the WNPSH variability is not the only factor that affects the WNPSH–YRBP relationship. Further results indicate that the change in basic state of thermal conditions in the tropical WNP provides a favorable background for the enhanced WNPSH–YRBP relationship. In P2, the lower-tropospheric atmosphere in the tropical WNP gets warmer and wetter, and thus the meridional gradient of climatological equivalent potential temperature over the YRB is enhanced. As a result, the WNPSH-related circulation anomalies can more effectively induce YRB rainfall anomalies through affecting the meridional gradient of equivalent potential temperature over the YRB.     

夏季长江中下游地区降水持续性年(代)际变异及其与环流和Rossby波活动的联系

旱涝异常不仅与降水的频次和强度有关,在多种时间尺度上,其与降水的持续性亦存在较好的对应关系。基于1979～2013年6～7月中国东部249站点逐日降水资料及ERA-interim逐月再分析资料,研究了长江中下游地区近35年降水持续性的长期变化及其相联系的大尺度环流型和Rossby波能量频散特征。结果表明:近35年长江中下游地区降水时段平均持续时间变短而无雨时段变长,体现出了降水持续性的减弱趋势。进一步研究发现,该趋势变化与长江中下游地区在1980和1990年代持续性降水事件偏多,而在2000年以后偏少的年代际变化有关。在年代际和年际尺度上,与长江中下游地区降水持续特征变异相联系的异常环流型在我国东南部及南海地区分布较为类似,而在偏高纬度和偏低纬度地区存在较大差异。相似之处在于:在两个时间尺度上,在对流层中高层均存在显著的反气旋性环流控制我国东南部地区,而在中低层均存在由海洋向长江中下游地区的气流辐合,并在高层由长江中下游地区向海洋辐合。不同之处是:年代际尺度上,自对流层低层到高层在乌拉尔山以东及蒙古地区分别存在反气旋性环流和气旋性环流,且赤道印度洋地区的对流层中低层存在显著的气旋性环流;而在年际尺度上,由低层到高层位于贝加尔湖东、西侧均为反气旋性环流异常,但海洋性大陆的东北部,低层出现向长江中下游地区辐合的气流的源,高层则为由长江中下游地区向低纬度地区辐合的气流的汇。Rossby波扰动能量频散特征在年代际和年际尺度上亦呈现出明显的差异。年代际尺度上,中纬度地区自大西洋至蒙古地区存在一个正—负—正—负的Rossby波列,波能东传,对长江中下游地区产生影响,而在中低层,自低纬地区向长江中下游地区的波能传播相对较弱;在年际尺度上,影响长江中下游地区降水的Rossby波活动的局地性特征更为明显。在低层,波扰能量经由南海向长江中下游地区传播更明显,而在对流层高层源于贝加尔湖西侧的波扰能量传播相对较强。这些结果有助于深刻认识长江中下游地区降水的异常持续及与之相联系的洪涝灾害的形成机理。     

Formation of the Anomalous Summer Precipitation in East China in 2010 and 1998: A Comparison of the Impacts of Two Kinds of El Ni~no

In the summers of 1998 and 2010, severe floods occurred in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although an El Ni~no event took place preceding each of the summer floods, significant differences between the two summer floods and the two El Ni~no events were identified. The 1997/98 El Ni~no is a conventional one with strongest warming in the central-eastern Pacific, whereas the 2009/10 event is an El Ni~no Modoki with strongest warming in the central Pacific. In this study, summer rainfall anomalies (SRA) in the two years were first compared based on the rainfall data at 160 stations in mainland China, and a significant difference in SRA was found. To understand the underlying mechanism for the difference, the atmospheric circulation systems, particularly the western North Pacific anticyclone (WNPAC), the western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH), and the low-level air flows, were compared in the two years by using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data. The results display that the WNPAC was stronger in 2010 than in 1998, along with a northwestward shift, causing weakened southwesterly from the Bay of Bengal to the South China Sea but intensified southerly in eastern China. This resulted in less water vapor transport from the tropical Indian Ocean and the South China Sea but more from the subtropical western Pacific to East Asia. Subsequently, the rainband in 2010 shifted northward. The difference in the WNPAC was caused by the anomalous ascending motion associated with the warming location in the two El Ni~no events. Furthermore, the role of tropical sea surface temperature (SST) in modulating these differences was investigated by conducting sensitivity experiments using GFDL AM2.1 (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Atmospheric Model). Two experiments were performed, one with the observed monthly SST and the other with June SST persisting through the whole summer. The results suggest that the model well reproduced the primary differences in the atmospheric circulation systems in the two years. It is found that the difference in El Ni~no events has shaped the rainfall patterns in the two years of 1998 and 2010. At last, the case of 2010 was compared with the composite of historical El Ni~no Modoki events, and the results indicate that the impact of El Ni~no Modoki varies from case to case and is more complicated than previously revealed.     

Subseasonal Change in the Seesaw Pattern of Precipitation between the Yangtze River Basin and the Tropical Western North Pacific during Summer

There is a well-known seesaw pattern of precipitation between the tropical western North Pacific(WNP) and the Yangtze River basin(YRB) during summer. This study identified that this out-of-phase relationship experiences a subseasonal change;that is, the relationship is strong during early summer but much weaker during mid-summer. We investigated the large-scale circulation anomalies responsible for the YRB rainfall anomalies on the subseasonal timescale. It was found that the YRB rainfall is mainly affected by the tropical circulation anomalies during early summer, i.e., the anticyclonic or cyclonic anomaly over the subtropical WNP associated with the precipitation anomalies over the tropical WNP. During mid-summer, the YRB rainfall is mainly affected by the extratropical circulation anomalies in both the lower and upper troposphere. In the lower troposphere, the northeasterly anomaly north of the YRB favors heavier rainfall over the YRB by intensifying the meridional gradient of the equivalent potential temperature over the YRB. In the upper troposphere, the meridional displacement of the Asian westerly jet and the zonally oriented teleconnection pattern along the jet also affect the YRB rainfall. The subseasonal change in the WNP–YRB precipitation relationship illustrated by this study has important implications for the subseasonalto-seasonal forecasting of the YRB rainfall.     

中国夏季降水对南印度洋偶极子的响应研究

分析了春季印度洋海表温度（SST）与中国160个站夏季降水的关系,得到:印度洋全海盆的增温趋势与我国夏季降水的气候线性变化趋势是十分一致的。另外,热带外南印度洋出现西南印度洋为正（负）、其东北部出现（负）正海温异常的分布模态时,定义为正（负）南印度洋偶极子PSIOD（NSIOD）事件。SIOD事件对中国夏季降水具有重要影响,PSIOD年,5月份中国江南和西南以及长江中下游的降水偏多;6～8月份华北、东北区域、长江中游以及华南地区降水增多,华南与华北之间的区域降水偏少,即主要为两条雨带的分布。NSIOD年,5月份中国大部降水偏少; 6～8月中国西南、江南地区以及黄淮地区降水偏多。不同时段SIOD所起的作用是不同的,5月,SIOD主要通过改变马斯克林局地环流的变化,影响印度洋低层越赤道的水汽通量输送;6～8月,通过改变海洋大陆下垫面SST热状态,改变其上空对流强度以及水汽输送方向,并间接影响西北太平洋副热带高压的强度和南北位置,进而对中国雨带的分布产生影响。     

江淮流域持续性暴雨过程前期环流特征

利用NCEP逐日再分析资料,通过合成分析以及滑动平均的低通滤波效果分析在江淮地区持续性暴雨过程发生前的环流场特征。研究认为持续性暴雨过程前期环流特征主要有以下几点:澳大利亚高压强度变化幅度小,马斯克林高压强度变化幅度大,两者之间呈现此消彼长的关系;副热带高压明显比常年偏强,脊线平均位置偏南,西脊点平均位置偏西;南亚高压属于西部型,强度偏弱,东伸脊点偏东;南亚高压的东伸脊点与副高的西伸脊点具有明显的相向而行,相背而去的活动特征;副高脊线比南亚高压脊线偏南4～6个纬距,并且两者具有步调一致的南北移动,但是南亚高压脊线移动时间比副高脊线提前1天左右。     

The Combined Effects of the Tropical and Extratropical Quasi-biweekly Oscillations on the Record-setting Mei-yu Rainfall in the Summer of 2020

During June–July 2020, the strongest recorded mei-yu rainfall occurred in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The rainfall processes exhibited an obvious quasi-biweekly(biweekly in brief) variability, and there are altogether five cycles. It is found that the biweekly rainfall cycle mainly arises from the collaborative effects of biweekly variabilities from both the tropics and extratropics. As for the tropics, the biweekly meridional march and retreat of the western Pacific subtr...

夏季北太平洋洋中槽强度的年际变化及其与北美地面气温的关系

利用1979—2010年NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和特拉华大学地面气温资料,研究了夏季北太平洋洋中槽强度的年际变化特征、成因及其与北美地表气温的联系。结果表明,夏季北太平洋洋中槽强度存在明显的年际变化特征,并主要表现为准4 a和准5a的周期变化特征。进一步的分析表明,夏季北太平洋洋中槽强度与同期北美东南地区地表气温存在显著的负相关,当夏季北太平洋洋中槽强度异常偏强(弱)时,洋中槽下游的北美东南地区对流层中高层的位势高度异常降低(升高),对应于控制该地区的高压减弱(增强),从而使得该地区地表气温降低(升高)。此外,夏季热带印度洋海温异常对洋中槽的年际变化起了决定性的作用。当热带印度洋海温异常偏暖时,通过调节大气边界层相当位温,加热对流层大气,在热带印度洋东侧激发出东传的开尔文波,同时也使得北太平洋中东部位势高度异常升高,导致洋中槽的异常减弱。反之亦然。     

江淮流域持续性极端降水及预报方法研究进展

持续性极端降水过程会引发严重的洪涝灾害,是我国主要的灾害性天气之一,其形成机理和预报理论与方法研究受到广泛关注。近年来,针对持续性极端降水的形成机理和预报方法研究取得了一系列进展,主要包括:开展了我国区域性持续性极端降水事件的自动识别方法研究,研制建立了江淮流域持续性极端降水的大尺度环流概念模型,并提取了1~2周的前兆信号;从东亚—太平洋遥相关型 (EAP) 角度探究其对持续性极端降水的影响机理,并探讨利用EAP对江淮流域持续性极端降水进行预报的可行性。此外,在上述研究的基础上发展了基于关键影响系统的持续性极端降水的物理统计预报方法。     

西太平洋副热带高压异常与中国长江中下游夏季降水关系研究综述

综述了西太平洋副热带高压对长江中下游夏季降水异常的影响。在回顾西太平洋副热带高压强度、位置等特征及其异常成因的基础上,总结了近年来气象学者关于西太平洋副热带高压对中国长江中下游夏季降水异常的影响和机理等方面的研究成果：西太平洋副热带高压异常不仅受动力因素的影响还受热力的因素的影响;西太平洋副热带高压的强度存在3-4 a、10-13 a的震荡周期,在1978年前后发生气候突变,脊线位置由正距平为主转为负距平为主,而强度正好相反,这样的变化显著影响了中国长江中下游地区的降水;西太平洋副热带高压的位置、形状和强度是长江中下游地区旱涝的决定条件之一;利用西太平洋副热带高压来对长江中下游降水进行预测,主要有4种方法。提出了当前存在的问题和需要进一步研究的方向。     

1998和2010年夏季降水异常成因的对比分析：兼论两类不同厄尔尼诺事件的影响

1998和2010年夏季长江流域均发生了明显的洪涝灾害,且都是厄尔尼诺事件的次年(衰亡位相).不同的是:1997/1998年冬季的厄尔尼诺事件是传统东部型,而2009/2010年冬季的厄尔尼诺事件是中部型(EL Ni(n)o Modoki).首先利用中国160个台站月降水观测资料,对比了1998和2010年降水异常情况,结果显示除长江流域多降水这一共同特征外,1998和2010年降水分布还存在一定差异.利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对比了大气环流异常特征.结果表明:与1998年相比,2010年西北太平洋对流层低层异常反气旋中心位置偏北偏西,西太平洋副热带高压偏强、脊线偏北,使得南海孟加拉湾西南风减弱而东亚南风加强,导致自印度洋、南海向内陆的水汽输送减少,而自西太平洋的水汽输送增加并输送到偏北的位置,雨带比1998年偏北,中国西南地区降水比1998年偏少.进一步分析厄尔尼诺的影响,揭示环流形势的变化与中部型厄尔尼诺年赤道太平洋异常上升气流比传统厄尔尼诺年偏西、西太平洋异常下沉气流随之变化有关.利用GFDL大气环流模式AM2.1,进行了给定1998和2010年实际观测海温强迫的试验,显示海温差异能够部分解释观测到的环流异常.最后,将这两个个例与历史合成进行了比较,发现2010年与历史合成的中部型厄尔尼诺存在较大差异,表明中部型厄尔尼诺对中国夏季降水的影响比以前所认识的要复杂.     

淮河夏季降水与赤道东太平洋海温对应关系的年代际变化

基于我国台站降水观测资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和NOAA的ERSST资料讨论了淮河夏季降水与赤道东太平洋海表温度对应关系的年代际变化。结果表明:淮河夏季降水在20世纪70年代中期发生了一次明显的突变, 在突变之前, 其降水呈线性减少趋势, 而在其后降水呈线性增加趋势; 同时, 淮河夏季降水与前期ENSO的对应关系在突变前后有明显的差异, 在突变前, 降水与赤道东太平洋的海温为显著的负相关, 而在突变后, 相关值转为弱的正相关。滑动相关结果显示:近20年是整个研究时段中二者对应关系最弱的时期。进一步研究发现:淮河降水与西太平洋副热带高压位置和强度的对应关系也在20世纪70年代中期前后经历了一个年代际变化, 在突变前, 淮河夏季降水与副高强度呈正相关, 突变后则为负相关。其中淮河8月降水在突变前主要受副高脊线位置和副高北界影响, 突变后则主要受副高面积和强度影响。即ENSO对淮河夏季降水预测的参考意义正在减弱, 同时副高对降水的作用方式正在转变。
