We compare, for the overlapping time frame 1962–2000, the estimate of the northern hemisphere mid-latitude winter atmospheric
variability within the available 20th century simulations of 19 global climate models included in the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change—4th Assessment Report with the NCEP-NCAR and ECMWF reanalyses. We compute the Hayashi spectra of the 500 hPa
geopotential height fields and introduce an ad hoc integral measure of the variability observed in the Northern Hemisphere
on different spectral sub-domains. The total wave variability is taken as a global scalar metric describing the overall performance
of each model, while the total variability pertaining to the eastward propagating baroclinic waves and to the planetary waves
are taken as scalar metrics describing the performance of each model phenomenologically in connection with the corresponding
specific physical process. Only two very high-resolution global climate models have a good agreement with reanalyses for both
the global and the process-oriented metrics. Large biases, in several cases larger than 20%, are found in all the considered
metrics between the wave climatologies of most IPCC models and the reanalyses, while the span of the climatologies of the
various models is, in all cases, around 50%. In particular, the travelling baroclinic waves are typically overestimated by
the climate models, while the planetary waves are usually underestimated, in agreement with what found is past analyses performed
on global weather forecasting models. When comparing the results of similar models, it is apparent that in some cases the
vertical resolution of the model atmosphere, the adopted ocean model, and the advection schemes seem to be critical in the
bulk of the atmospheric variability. The models ensemble obtained by arithmetic averaging of the results of all models is
biased with respect to the reanalyses but is comparable to the best five models. Nevertheless, the models results do not cluster
around their ensemble mean. This study suggests caveats with respect to the ability of most of the presently available climate
models in representing the statistical properties of the global scale atmospheric dynamics of the present climate and, a fortiori,
in the perspective of modeling climate change. 相似文献

This study examines wave disturbances on submonthly (6–30-day) timescales over the tropical Indian Ocean during Southern Hemisphere summer using Japanese Reanalysis (JRA25-JCDAS) products and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration outgoing longwave radiation data. The analysis period is December–February for the 29 years from 1979/1980 through 2007/2008. An extended empirical orthogonal function (EEOF) analysis of daily 850-hPa meridional wind anomalies reveals a well-organized wave-train pattern as a dominant mode of variability over the tropical Indian Ocean. Daily lagged composite analyses for various atmospheric variables based on the EEOF result show the structure and evolution of a wave train consisting of meridionally elongated troughs and ridges along the Indian Ocean Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The wave train is oriented in a northeast–southwest direction from Sumatra toward Madagascar. The waves have zonal wavelengths of about 3,000–5,000 km and exhibit westward and southwestward phase propagation. Individual troughs and ridges as part of the wave train sequentially travel westward and southwestward from the west of Sumatra into Madagascar. Meanwhile, eastward and northeastward amplification of the wave train occurs associated with the successive growth of new troughs and ridges over the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean. This could be induced by eastward and northeastward wave energy dispersion from the southwestern to eastern Indian Ocean along the mean monsoon westerly flow. In addition, the waves modulate the ITCZ convection. Correlation statistics show the average behavior of the wave disturbances over the tropical Indian Ocean. These statistics and other diagnostic measures are used to characterize the waves obtained from the composite analysis. The waves appear to be connected to the monsoon westerly flow. The waves tend to propagate through a band of the large meridional gradient of absolute vorticity produced by the mean monsoon westerly flow. This suggests that the monsoon westerly flow provides favorable background conditions for the propagation and maintenance of the waves and acts as a waveguide over the tropical Indian Ocean. The horizontal structure of the wave train may be interpreted as that of a mixture of equatorial Rossby waves and mixed Rossby-gravity wavelike gyres. 相似文献

Summary In order to explore the spatial and temporal variations of 500 hPa flow patterns and their relationship with the climate
of Iran, monthly mean geopotential heights for the region 0° E to 70° E and 20° N to 50° N, at 5 degree resolution, were analysed.
The study period covered the winter months October to March during the period 1961–90. The monthly height of the 500 hPa level
was averaged along each meridian from 25° N to 45° N. The height of the mean monthly pressure pattern was mapped against the
study years. The results showed that the characteristics of the 500 hPa flow pattern varied over monthly and annual time scales.
Principal Component Analysis, with S-mode and Varimax rotation, was also used to reduce the gridded data to 5 (6 in October)
significant factors. The factor scores for each month were then correlated with monthly Z-scores of precipitation and temperature
anomalies over Iran. The results showed that troughs and ridges located close to Iran had more influence on the climate of
Iran. Two troughs were identified and named the Caspian and Syrian troughs.

Projection of heat waves over China for eight different global warming targets using 12 CMIP5 models 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Simulation and projection of the characteristics of heat waves over China were investigated using 12 CMIP5 global climate models and the CN05.1 observational gridded dataset. Four heat wave indices (heat wave frequency, longest heat wave duration, heat wave days, and high temperature days) were adopted in the analysis. Evaluations of the 12 CMIP5 models and their ensemble indicated that the multi-model ensemble could capture the spatiotemporal characteristics of heat wave variation over China. The inter-decadal variations of heat waves during 1961–2005 can be well simulated by multi-model ensemble. Based on model projections, the features of heat waves over China for eight different global warming targets (1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 °C) were explored. The results showed that the frequency and intensity of heat waves would increase more dramatically as the global mean temperature rise attained higher warming targets. Under the RCP8.5 scenario, the four China-averaged heat wave indices would increase from about 1.0 times/year, 2.5, 5.4, and 13.8 days/year to about 3.2 times/year, 14.0, 32.0, and 31.9 days/year for 1.5 and 5.0 °C warming targets, respectively. Those regions that suffer severe heat waves in the base climate would experience the heat waves with greater frequency and severity following global temperature rise. It is also noteworthy that the areas in which a greater number of severe heat waves occur displayed considerable expansion. Moreover, the model uncertainties exhibit a gradual enhancement with projected time extending from 2006 to 2099. 相似文献

The results of studying the temporal variability of atmospheric circulation in the Western Arctic (the Norwegian and Barents seas) are presented. The daily dataset of Girs-Vangengeim E, W, and C circulation forms for the period of 1891–2016 is used to describe atmospheric circulation. Special attention is given to the estimation of differences in weather conditions during the modern period of warming (1985–2015) and in the period of the first Arctic warming (1920–1950). For the cold (November-March) and warm (April-October) seasons, the trends in the frequency of occurrence of the circulation forms are determined. The occurrence of the number of consecutive days with the same atmospheric circulation form which can be considered as a characteristic of weather stability during the analyzed period of warming, is computed for both seasons. The prevalence of the E circulation form during the warm season is typical of both periods. The modern period of warming in the study area, as compared to the period of the first warming, is characterized by an increase in the occurrence of the C circulation form with a short duration. It is found that the current climate regime is characterized by an increase in surface air temperature against a background of less stable weather conditions. 相似文献

Daily rainfall variability over southern Africa (SA) and the southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) during the austral summer months
has recently been described objectively for the first time, using newly derived satellite products. The principle mode of
variability in all months is a dipole structure with bands of rainfall orientated northwest to southeast across the region.
These represent the location of cloud bands associated with tropical temperate troughs (TTT). This study objectively identifies
major TTT events during November to February, and on the basis of composites off NCEP reanalysis data describes the associated
atmospheric structure. The two phases of the rainfall dipole are associated with markedly contrasting circulation patterns.
There are also pronounced intra-seasonal variations. In early summer the position of the temperate trough and TTT cloud band
alternates between the SWIO and southwest Atlantic. In late summer the major TTT axis lies preferentially over the SWIO, associated
with an eastward displacement in the Indian Ocean high. In all months, positive events, in which the TTT cloud band lies primarily
over the SWIO, are associated with large-scale moisture flux anomalies, in which convergent fluxes form a pronounced poleward
flux along the cloud band. This suggests that TTT events are a major mechanism of poleward transfer of energy and momentum.
Moisture transport occurs along three principle paths: (1) the northern or central Indian Ocean (where anomalous fluxes extend
eastward to the Maritime Continent), (2) south equatorial Africa and the equatorial Atlantic, (3) from the south within a
cyclonic flow around the tropical-temperate trough. The relative importance of (2) is greatest in late summer. Thus, synoptic
scale TTT events over SA/SWIO often result from large-scale planetary circulation patterns. Hovmoeller plots show that TTT
development coincides with enhanced tropical convection between 10°–30°E (itself exhibiting periodicity of around 5 days),
and often with convergence of eastward and westward propagating convection around 40°E. Harmonic analysis of 200 hPa geopotential
anomalies show that TTT features are forced by a specific zonally asymmetric wave pattern, with wave 5 dominant or significant
in all months except February when quasi-stationary waves 1, 2 and 3 dominate. These findings illustrate the importance of
tropical and extratropical dynamics in understanding TTT events. Finally, it is suggested that in November–Januar TTT rainfall
over SA/SWIO may be in phase with similar rainfall dipole structures observed in the South Pacific and South Atlantic convergence
zones.

The teleconnections of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in future climate projections are investigated using results of the coupled climate model ECHAM5/MPI-OM. For this, the IPCC SRES scenario A1B and a quadrupled CO2 simulation are considered. It is found that changes of the mean state in the tropical Pacific are likely to condition ENSO teleconnections in the Pacific North America (PNA) region and in the North Atlantic European (NAE) region. With increasing greenhouse gas emissions the changes of the mean states in the tropical and sub-tropical Pacific are El Niño-like in this particular model. Sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific are increased predominantly in its eastern part and redistribute the precipitation further eastward. The dynamical response of the atmosphere is such that the equatorial east–west (Walker) circulation and the eastern Pacific inverse Hadley circulation are decreased. Over the subtropical East Pacific and North Atlantic the 200 hPa westerly wind is substantially increased. Composite maps of different climate parameters for positive and negative ENSO events are used to reveal changes of the ENSO teleconnections. Mean sea level pressure and upper tropospheric zonal winds indicate an eastward shift of the well-known teleconnection patterns in the PNA region and an increasing North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) like response over the NAE region. Surface temperature and precipitation underline this effect, particularly over the North Pacific and the central North Atlantic. Moreover, in the NAE region the 200 hPa westerly wind is increasingly related to the stationary wave activity. Here the stationary waves appear NAO-like. 相似文献

By using the upper-wind data from July 1980 to June 1983,the variations of the low-frequency oscillation(LFO) in the atmosphere before and during 1982 El Nino have been investigated.Before the El Nino,the LFO propagates from west to east over the equator of the Eastern Hemisphere and from east to west over 20°N.The eastward propagating LFO over the equator consists of zonal wavenumber 1 propagating eastward and zonal wavenumber 2 with a character of stationary wave.The oscillation of zonal wavenumber 2 can modulate the oscillation strength.After the onset of the El Nino,the propagating directions of the LFO over the equator and 20°N of the Eastern Hemisphere change to be westward and eastward,respectively.The LFO over the western Pacific weakens rapidly and one coming from middle and high latitudes propagates to the equator.From the phase compositions of streamline fields for the zonal wavenumber 1 of equatorial westward propagatirg LFO,it is found that the atmospheric heat source in the equator of the eastern Pacific(EEP)excites a series of the equatorial cyclones and anticyclones which move northward and westward and form the westward propagating LFO over the equator.With the wavelength of 20000km,this kind of equatorial wave is similar to the mixing Rossby-gravity wave.In its westward and northward movement,the circulation in East Asia is modified.This may be the mechanism of the influence of El Nino on the climate of China. 相似文献

The daily outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) field in boreal summer shows significant power spectrum peaks on quasi-biweekly (10–20-day) and intraseasonal (20-80-day) timescales over the Indo-western Pacific warm pool, especially over the South China Sea and Bay of Bengal. The quasi-biweekly oscillation (QBWO) originates from off-equatorial western North Pacific, and is characterized by a northwest-southeast oriented wave train pattern, propagating northwestward. The intraseasonal oscillation (ISO), on the other hand, originates from the equatorial Indian Ocean and propagates eastward and northward. Why the equatorial mode possesses a 20–80-day periodicity while the off-equatorial mode favors a 10–20-day periodicity is investigated through idealized numerical experiments with a 2.5-layer atmospheric model. In the off-equatorial region, the model simulates, under a realistic three-dimensional summer mean flow, the most unstable mode that has a wave train pattern with a typical zonal wavelength of 6000 km and a period of 10–20 days, propagating northwestward. This is in contrast to the equatorial region, where a Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) like mode with a planetary (wavenumber-1) zonal scale and a period ranging from 20 to 80 days is simulated. Sensitivity experiments with different initial conditions indicate that the QBWO is an intrinsic mode of the atmosphere in boreal summer in the off-equatorial Indo-western Pacific region under the summer mean state, while the MJO is the most unstable mode in the equatorial region. 相似文献

An empirical classification of weather types in the Mediterranean Basin and their interrelation with rainfall 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
T. Littmann 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2000,66(3-4):161-171
Summary This paper presents a classification of weather types in the Mediterranean Basin based on cluster analysis of the daily occurrences
of several surface pressure centers and the subjective identification of 500 hPa trough axis positions (1992–1996). The procedure
results in 20 types that explain 69% of overall pressure center variance and which are consistent with the seasonal succession
of regional circulation. The development of weather types in winter is primarily controlled by the eastward propagation of
barotropic waves while departures from the zonal flow pattern in summer tend to be linked to blocked stationary pools. H1-types
with anticyclonic circulation in the Western Mediterranean and cyclonic flow in the eastern part are well interrelated with
zonal and anticyclonic general weather types in Central Europe. H2-types featuring a weak Azores Anticyclone interrelate with
a variety of meridional circulation types after the Hess and Brezowski (1969) classification. The 20 types explain rainfall
variance in the core Mediterranean regions (as defined by principal components) to a high degree while rainfall variance in
marginal regions is influenced by circulation patterns not being typical for the Mediterranean Basin.

The predictability of atmospheric responses to global sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies is evaluated using ensemble
simulations of two general circulation models (GCMs): the GENESIS version 1.5 (GEN) and the ECMWF cycle 36 (ECM). The integrations
incorporate observed SST variations but start from different initial land and atmospheric states. Five GEN 1980–1992 and six
ECM 1980–1988 realizations are compared with observations to distinguish predictable SST forced climate signals from internal
variability. To facilitate the study, correlation analysis and significance evaluation techniques are developed on the basis
of time series permutations. It is found that the annual mean global area with realistic signals is variable dependent and
ranges from 3 to 20% in GEN and 6 to 28% in ECM. More than 95% of these signal areas occur between 35 °S–35 °N. Due to the
existence of model biases, robust responses, which are independent of initial condition, are identified over broader areas.
Both GCMs demonstrate that the sensitivity to initial conditions decreases and the predictability of SST forced responses
increases, in order, from 850 hPa zonal wind, outgoing longwave radiation, 200 hPa zonal wind, sea-level pressure to 500 hPa
height. The predictable signals are concentrated in the tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean and are identified with typical
El Ni?o/ Southern Oscillation phenomena that occur in response to SST and diabatic heating anomalies over the equatorial central
Pacific. ECM is less sensitive to initial conditions and better predicts SST forced climate changes. This results from (1)
a more realistic basic climatology, especially of the upper-level wind circulation, that produces more realistic interactions
between the mean flow, stationary waves and tropical forcing; (2) a more vigorous hydrologic cycle that amplifies the tropical
forcing signals, which can exceed internal variability and be more efficiently transported from the forcing region. Differences
between the models and observations are identified. For GEN during El Ni?o, the convection does not carry energy to a sufficiently
high altitude, while the spread of the tropospheric warming along the equator is slower and the anomaly magnitude smaller
than observed. This impacts model ability to simulate realistic responses over Eurasia and the Indian Ocean. Similar biases
exist in the ECM responses. In addition, the relationships between upper and lower tropospheric wind responses to SST forcing
are not well reproduced by either model. The identification of these model biases leads to the conclusion that improvements
in convective heat and momentum transport parametrizations and basic climate simulations could substantially increase predictive
skill.

Self-organizing map (SOM) is used to simulate summer daily precipitation over the Yangtze–Huaihe river basin in Eastern China, including future projections. SOM shows good behaviors in terms of probability distribution of daily rainfall and spatial distribution of rainfall indices, as well as consistency of multi-model simulations. Under RCP4.5 Scenario, daily rainfall at most sites (63%) is projected to shift towards larger values. For the early 21st century (2016–2035), precipitation in the central basin increases, yet decreases occur over the middle reaches of the Yangtze River as well as a part of its southeast area. For the late 21st century (2081–2100), the mean precipitation and extreme indices experience an overall increase except for a few southeast stations. The total precipitation in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and in its south area is projected to increase from 7% at 1.5 °C global warming to 11% at 2 °C, while the intensity enhancement is more significant in southern and western sites of the domain. A clustering allows to regroup all SOM nodes into four distinct regimes. Such regional synoptic regimes show remarkable stability for future climate. The overall intensification of precipitation in future climate is linked to the occurrence-frequency rise of a wet regime which brings longitudinally closer the South Asia High (eastward extended) and the Western Pacific Subtropical High (westward extended), as well as the reduction of a dry pattern which makes the two atmospheric centers of action move away from each other. 相似文献

Winter weather regimes over the Mediterranean region: their role for the regional climate and projected changes in the twenty-first century 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The winter time weather variability over the Mediterranean is studied in relation to the prevailing weather regimes (WRs) over the region. Using daily geopotential heights at 700 hPa from the ECMWF ERA40 Reanalysis Project and Cluster Analysis, four WRs are identified, in increasing order of frequency of occurrence, as cyclonic (22.0 %), zonal (24.8 %), meridional (25.2 %) and anticyclonic (28.0 %). The surface climate, cloud distribution and radiation patterns associated with these winter WRs are deduced from satellite (ISCCP) and other observational (E-OBS, ERA40) datasets. The LMDz atmosphere–ocean regional climate model is able to simulate successfully the same four Mediterranean weather regimes and reproduce the associated surface and atmospheric conditions for the present climate (1961–1990). Both observational- and LMDz-based computations show that the four Mediterranean weather regimes control the region’s weather and climate conditions during winter, exhibiting significant differences between them as for temperature, precipitation, cloudiness and radiation distributions within the region. Projections (2021–2050) of the winter Mediterranean weather and climate are obtained using the LMDz model and analysed in relation to the simulated changes in the four WRs. According to the SRES A1B emission scenario, a significant warming (between 2 and 4 °C) is projected to occur in the region, along with a precipitation decrease by 10–20 % in southern Europe, Mediterranean Sea and North Africa, against a 10 % precipitation increase in northern European areas. The projected changes in temperature and precipitation in the Mediterranean are explained by the model-predicted changes in the frequency of occurrence as well as in the intra-seasonal variability of the regional weather regimes. The anticyclonic configuration is projected to become more recurrent, contributing to the decreased precipitation over most of the basin, while the cyclonic and zonal ones become more sporadic, resulting in more days with below normal precipitation over most of the basin, and on the eastern part of the region, respectively. The changes in frequency and intra-seasonal variability highlights the usefulness of dynamics versus statistical downscaling techniques for climate change studies. 相似文献

Contrasting Impacts of South and North Tropical Indian Ocean Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies on East Asian Summer Climate

Using observational data and model simulations,the author find that the North Indian Ocean(NIO)sea surface temperature(SST)anomalies can trigger an eastward atmospheric Kelvin wave propagating into the equatorial western Pacific,inducing an anomalous anticyclone over the subtropical Northwest Pacific(NWP)and resulting in prominent summer climate anomalies in the East Asia-Northwest Pacific(EANWP)region.However,the response of tropospheric temperatures and atmospheric Kelvin waves to the South Indian Ocean(SIO)SST anomalies is weak;as a result,the impact of the SIO SST anomalies on the EANWP summer climate is weak.The contrasting impacts of NIO and SIO SST anomalies on the EANWP summer climate is possibly due to the different mean state of SSTs in the two regions.In summer,the climatological SSTs in the NIO are higher than in the SIO,leading to a stronger response of atmospheric convection to the NIO SST anomalies than to the SIO SST anomalies.Thus,compared with the SIO SST anomalies,the NIO SST anomalies can lead to stronger tropospheric air temperature anomalies and atmospheric Kelvin waves to affect the EANWP summer climate. 相似文献
