Summary A community mesoscale model is used to simulate and understand processes that led to the formation and intensification of
the near-equatorial typhoon Vamei that formed in the South China Sea in December, 2001. The simulated typhoon resembles the
observed in that it had a short lifetime and a small size, formed near the equator (south of 2° N), and reached category-one
intensity. The formation involved the interactions between the scales of the background cyclonic circulation (the Borneo Vortex
of order ∼100 km) and of mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs, in the order ∼10 km). Before tropical cyclone formation MCVs
formed along a convergent, horizontal shear vorticity line on the eastern edge of an exceptionally strong monsoonal northerly
wind surge.
The typhoon genesis is marked by three rapid intensification periods, which are associated with the rapid growth of potential
vorticity (PV). A vorticity budget analysis reveals that the increases in low-level vorticity during the rapid intensification
periods are attributed to enhanced horizontal vorticity fluxes into the storm core. The increase of the horizontal vorticity
flux is associated with the merging of areas of high PV associated with MCVs into the storm core as they are advected by background
cyclonic flows. The increases in PV at upper levels are associated with the evaporation of upper level stratiform precipitation
and increases of vertical potential temperature gradient below the maximum stratiform cloud layer. It appears that two key
sources of PV at upper and lower levels are crucial for the build up of high PV and a deepening of a cyclonic layer throughout
the troposphere. 相似文献

Summary Precipitation, cloud water amount and phase, and water vapor amount are very important parameters in understanding the development of typhoons and their influence on the atmosphere and ocean. In this paper, we investigate the atmospheric water balance of Typhoon Nina, which formed near (5°N, 160°E) on November 18, 1987 and moved northwestward during its development. Water vapor path, liquid water path, ice index, and precipitation amount are determined in the vicinity of the typhoon using data from the SSM/I (Special Sensor Microwave/Imager). The water balance of the, typhoon cloud is then examined during its different development stages. An ice index is derived using SSM/I data that is used to investigate the overall ratio of ice/liquid water change of the typhoon during its development. By comparing the ice/water ratio of different mesoscale convective cells in the typhoon, attempts are made to interpret the different cloud structures and development stages of individual mesoscale cloud cells relative to their position from the typhoon center.It is found that the atmospheric water budget in the typhoon is mainly balanced by horizontal transport of water vapor into the region, evaporation from the ocean and precipitation. Of the two source terms, horizontal transport plays the major role with a contribution of more than 65% in all storm stages for 1° radial area or larger. In addition, the horizontal transport of water vapor seems to occur through several bands instead of uniform convergence. Mesoscale convective cells, which may consist of several cumulonimbus clouds in each, develop in the bands, with convectively more active cells occurring upwind and the dissipating one downwind. It it also found that the maximum latent heat release precedes the maximum storm intensity.With 15 Figures 相似文献

MJO活动对云南5月降水的影响 总被引：5，自引：3，他引：2
本文分析了1979～2008年5月MJO(Madden and Julian Oscillation)不同位相上大尺度环流对流和水汽输送的异常情况及其对云南5月降水的影响。按MJO活动中心位置从西向东分为8个位相, 在不同位相上, 云南5月降水呈现出明显的差异:第4～6位相(MJO对流中心位于赤道印度洋中部至西太平洋)降水偏多, 而第7～8位相(赤道太平洋中部以东)和第1～3位相(赤道印度洋中西部)降水偏少, 其中以第6位相的降水正异常和第2位相的负异常最为显著。在MJO 1～8位相中, 对流主体从热带印度洋东移。在第1～3位相, 孟加拉湾还未形成西南向水汽输送, 而云南又处于水汽辐散区, 降水较少;第4位相时对流主体到达90°N附近, 部分对流云系向孟加拉湾北传, 并在孟加拉湾生成气旋性环流, 向云南输送水汽, 云南降水增多;第5位相时对流主体传到南海, 部分对流云系在南海北传, 同时在南海形成北传的气旋性环流;第6位相时赤道MJO对流主体虽然东移出孟加拉湾, 但孟加拉湾和南海的两个气旋性环流依然继续北传, 孟加拉湾气旋东部的西南风和南海气旋西部的东北风在云南交汇, 云南被强烈的水汽辐合区控制, 降水最充沛。第7～8位相时, 对流主体减弱, 东移到南海和西太平洋一带, 孟加拉湾转向为偏北风, 停止向云南输送水汽, 且云南处于水汽辐散区控制, 降水偏少。因此, MJO主体在东传过程中, 激发了热带对流在孟加拉湾和南海两条通道上的北传, 强盛的水汽输送和两个海区气旋环流的有利配置是造成云南5月降水的重要原因。 相似文献

热带云团是台风生成的前兆,虽然一些研究将近20 a来台风不活跃与大尺度环境场相联系,但是还没有人分析台风不活跃期热带云团的活动特点。本文利用目前仅有的1989-2009年全球热带云团资料,分析了西北太平洋热带云团近20 a的变化特征。1998年以后西北太平洋台风生成减少主要发生在7-10月,集中在南海（13～23°N,110～120°E）和西北太平洋台风活动区域的东部（13～23°N,145～170°E）。热带云团除1月外各月都有增加的趋势,特别是与台风生成显著减少区域相联系的热带云团活动具有显著的增加趋势。通过对NCEP/NCAR再分析资料分析发现,1998年后热带云团活动增加与环境风垂直切变增加有关,而增强的垂直切变不利于台风生成。 相似文献

本文运用WRF3.9区域数值模式模拟了2017年7月13日吉林省永吉县暖区暴雨,较好地再现了此次暴雨过程的中尺度对流系统的单体触发、线状对流群触发、组织化发展以及弓状回波等典型阶段的细致过程;在此基础上,分析了造成暖区降水的中尺度对流系统的云微物理特征,探讨了其影响暖区降水的可能机制。结果表明:吉林永吉暖区降水发生在东北冷涡主导的有利的多尺度环境配置下,引发暖区降水的中尺度系统主要是冷云系统,暖区范围大,过冷水分布位置高,冰晶粒子与过冷水并存,并存区的“播种”效应使得其下方生成大量霰。雨水质量收支及热量收支分析表明:暖区降水系统的触发及组织化阶段,雨水的主要来源是云滴碰并增长,主要汇项是冰晶对雨水的收集;而弓状回波阶段,降水的主要源项除了云滴碰并增长之外,霰融化作用也起到关键的作用,降水主要汇项在低层为雨水蒸发,高层为霰对雨滴的收集;暖区降水的主要热源是水汽凝结潜热释放,主要冷却项是雨水和云水的蒸发。弓状回波阶段,其前部的入流与地面冷垫上方的后向入流汇合后将水汽带入高层;“播种”效应使距地面8 km高度附近的霰粒子含量显著增多,该高度与水汽凝结释放大量潜热形成的高温区重合,故霰粒子大量融化为雨水,产生强降水过程。 相似文献

The origins of the pre-Debby (2006) mesoscale convective system (MCS) and African easterly wave (AEW) and their precursors were traced back to the southwest Arabian Peninsula, Asir Mountains (AS), and Ethiopian Highlands (EH) in the vicinity of the ITCZ using satellite imagery, GFS analysis data and ARW model. The sources of the convective cloud clusters and vorticity perturbations were attributed to the cyclonic convergence of northeasterly Shamal wind and the Somali jet, especially when the Mediterranean High shifted toward east and the Indian Ocean high strengthened and its associated Somali jet penetrated farther to the north. The cyclonic vorticity perturbations were strengthened by the vorticity stretching associated with convective cloud clusters in the genesis region—southwest Arabian Peninsula. A conceptual model was proposed to explain the genesis of convective cloud clusters and cyclonic vorticity perturbations preceding the pre-Debby (2006) AEW–MCS system. 相似文献

The preliminary syudy of medium-scale cloud clusters over the Changjiang basin in summer 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Fang Zongyi 《大气科学进展》1985,2(3):334-340
It is shown that the medium scale cloud cluster is u major one of precipitation systems from analysing the rainstorms along the Changjiang River during the plum rain period of 1980-1983. The medium-scale cloud clusters do not always correspond to the moving vortex, but they are in good agreement with the convergence center for the divergent component of wind at 850 hPa. The favourable environmental conditions for the genesis and development of medium-scale cloud cluster, such as the large-scale circulation situation, patterns of temperature and moisture, potential instability, and the structure of cloud cluster are given. A model on large seaie clond pattern for the genesis of medium scale cloud cluster is presented. 相似文献

利用中尺度数值模式WRF（weather research and forecasting model）对2006年7月16—17日在我国华南沿海地区引发强降水的中尺度对流系统（mesoscale convective systems,MCS）活动进行了数值模拟,并结合观测资料对此次过程进行分析。结果表明,1）此次MCS活动与0604号强热带风暴“碧利斯”减弱而成的热带低气压及西南季风密切相关。热低压为MCS的发生提供了动力抬升条件,西南季风则承担了输送水汽的角色,二者的持续结合,使华南大部地区中尺度对流系统不断发生和发展,形成强降水。2）该MCS具有明显的不对称结构,云体越向上越向南部伸展,云系主要分布在热低压的南部,呈东北一西南走向的带状。3）模式对此次MCS强降水过程的模拟效果较好,客观地反映了此次MCS的发展演变及雨带的分布状况。4）在广西境内的中尺度对流云团中云水含量较少,冰相粒子的比含水量值很大,主要的降水机制为冰晶降水机制。 相似文献

Summary The probabilistic approach to tropical cyclogenesis is advanced here by examining the role of convection in the early stages. The development of hot towers, that is tall cumulonimbus towers which reach or penetrate the tropopause, and their role in tropical cyclogenesis is investigated in two well-documented cases of formation. namely hurricane Daisy (1958) in the Atlantic and Tropical Cyclone Oliver (1993) in the Coral Sea. The hot towers in Daisy had been intensively studied by Malkus and Riehl three decades ago but remained mainly unpublished. The dynamics of Oliver genesis by merging mesoscale vortices has been recently reported, but much of the aircraft data remained. This paper adds the evolving contribution of cumulus-scale events and their associated electrification, which was made possible by the addition of an electric field mill, a numerical cloud model and other remote sensors.In their genesis stages, Daisy and Oliver appeared very different because Daisy resulted from a deepening tropical wave in the Atlantic and the pre-Oliver vortex emerged eastward from the Australian monsoon trough. However, the vertical profiles of E in the rain areas were nearly identical, with the characteristic concave shape showing substantial midlevel minima. Therefore, both required increasing upflux of high E subcloud air in order to accomplish the formation stage, with about two hot towers each in the nascent eyewall. In both cases, partial eyewalls developed at the edge of the convection, permitting subsidence in the forming eye, which was shown to contribute to the pressure fall. The probabilistic concept proposes that any contribution to early pressure fall raises the probability of success. When the incipient storm goes through those fragile phases more rapidly, the risk of death by the onset of unfavorable large-scale factors such as wind shear or upper-level subsidence is reduced. Daisy developed in an inactive, moist environment with light, variable winds throughout the troposphere while in Oliver, strong divergent upper outflow apparently outweighed strong wind shear, although the latter was responsible for a slow and messy development of a closed, circular eye.In both storms, the hot towers in the major rainband were taller and stronger than those in the early eyewall. Onedimensional time-dependent model runs were used to simulate both in Oliver with two important results: 1) the taller rainband clouds permitted greater high level heating, if it could be retained; and 2) greater electrification and more lighting occurred in the rainband although the partial eyewall clouds also showed strong electrification. Airborne radar, electrification measurements and models are fitted together to understand their relationship. An important result is the clear inference that fairly deep mixed phase regions existed in both eyewall and rainband, in which the DC-8 aircraft experienced liquid water at temperatures colder than –40°C below freezing. These results show that the claims of no supercooled liquid water in tropical cyclones require re-examination with the proper measurements of electricification that are now feasible.With 13 Figures 相似文献

应用高分辨率的红外卫星云图资料,对台风8807从热带低压发展成热带风暴的过程进行了分析,给出了热带风暴形成过程伴随着复杂涡旋自组织现象的观测证据。结果发现,涡旋自组织可在从数十到十万km2的各种尺度扰动云团之间发生,发生合并的云团除了理想数值试验中的两类前景之外,还存在第三类前景,即较大尺度的云团会发生分裂,部分与其他云团合并。合并形成的新云团可能发展也有可能减弱,这应取决于新云团所处的环境以及是否有其他云团补充并入。用二维Fourier分析可以清楚地看到8807发展成热带风暴的过程可分为两个阶段,一是多涡共存,不同方向、不同尺度系统能量转换频繁阶段,另一是单涡发展阶段,谱密度等值线形态稳定少变。分维计算结果表明,热带风暴形成过程中的相关云团较已有研究分析的云团略显规则,分维略小于已有结果。此外,临界温度取值不同,分维是有差异的,边界温度越低,分维越小。 相似文献

采用LAPS中尺度分析模式大气资料,对2008年7月一次西南涡暴雨过程进行天气学降水运动的中尺度诊断计算与分析。诊断计算包括：可降水量、层结不稳定能量、对流可降水量、水汽权重平均风速、水汽通量散度、云水、云冰总量及其通量散度和垂直速度与凝结函数降水率等。结果表明：“西南涡-切变线”系统的暴雨发生在暖湿气团与变性冷气团之间的中尺度风场辐合上升运动区,中尺度雨团发生在层结不稳定的暖湿气团一侧。计算的中尺度垂直运动与凝结函数降水率场,降水率为暴雨到特大暴雨。计算的水汽通量辐合降水率与凝结函数降水率不会完全重合,且水汽通量辐合既可致中尺度“雨”,又可成大尺度“云”,并且云水、云冰通量辐合/辐散,可解释为它们的“正”/“负”碰并增长,而碰并增长产生水凝物增量（降水率）也促成大暴雨。因此,在凝结函数降水率场中产生的中、小尺度对流雨团,加上水汽与云水、云冰通量辐合及其碰并增长,并且借助层结不稳定能量释放和可能产生的强迫“次级环流”及水汽与云水、云冰输送,是这次“西南涡-切变线”系统造成襄樊特大暴雨的天气学成因。 相似文献

华北一次暴雨过程中潜热对中尺度系统和降水影响的数值研究 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
针对2005年7月22日的发生于华北的暴雨中尺度对流系统,在用中尺度ARPS模式数值模拟和分析云场、动力场以及微物理过程释放的潜热垂直分布和作用特征的基础上,通过改变主要微物理过程潜热做敏感性数值试验,研究和分析了潜热对云系发展演变、云系宏观动力场、水汽场、云场和降水的影响,总结出云暖区潜热的影响途径。结果表明,在对流云团中,5000 m以上微物理过程起加热作用,以下起冷却作用。不同物理过程潜热加热的云层高度不同:高层起加热作用的主要为水汽凝结、云冰初生和雪凝华增长、霰撞冻云水过程;中层起加热/冷却作用的主要为水汽凝结、霰/雹融化过程;低层雨水的蒸发过程起冷却作用。微物理过程潜热通过影响云系和降水发展过程、云系动力场,进而影响水汽场、云场和降水。忽略霰/雹融化潜热,相当于增加云系暖区潜热,促进了低层气旋性环流的形成,增强了低层动力场的辐合,使得低层辐合区增多、增强;中低层水汽通量辐合区增多、面积扩大,明显地促进了对流云系的发展,增大了含水量和覆盖范围,云系的降水量显著增加,强降水区覆盖范围扩大。即使减少20%的凝结潜热,云系的发展也受到极大抑制,没有气旋性环流生成,低层辐合区缩小、强度降低,水汽通量辐合区也同样缩小、强度降低,云系对流发展减弱、含水量降低,因此,降水量大为减小,降水范围也显著缩小。此外,微物理过程潜热还影响到此次中尺度对流系统发展演变过程,改变了云系的形态、影响到系统的移动和系统中对流云团的发展强度和分布情况。 相似文献

It has long been known that incipient tropical cyclones (TCs) always occur in
synoptic-scale disturbances or tropical cyclogenesis precursors, and the disturbances can
intensify only within a limited area during tropical cyclogenesis. An observational analysis
of five tropical cyclogenesis events over the western North Pacific during 11 August to 10
September 2004 is conducted to demonstrate the role of synoptic-scale disturbances in
establishing a limited area of low-deformation vorticity for tropical cyclogenesis.
The analysis of the five tropical cyclogenesis events shows that synoptic-scale tropical
cyclogenesis precursors provide a region of low-deformation vorticity, which is measured with
large positive values of the Okubo-Weiss (OW) parameter. The OW concentrated areas are within
the tropical cyclogenesis precursors with a radius of about 400-500 km and can be found as
early as 72 hours prior to the formation of the tropical depression. When the TCs reached the
tropical storm intensity, the concentrated OW is confined to an area of 200-300 radius and the
storm centers are coincident with the centers of the maximum OW. This study indicates that the
tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the low-deformation 18-72 hours prior to the formation of
tropical depressions, suggesting the importance of low-deformation vorticity in pre-existent
synoptic-scale disturbances. Although the Rossby radius of deformation is reduced in TC
genesis precedes, the reduction does not sufficiently make effective conversion of convective
heating into kinetic energy within the low-deformation area. Further analysis indicates that
the initial development of four of the five disturbances is coupled with the counterclockwise
circulation of the mixed Rossby-Gravity (MRG) wave. 相似文献

Summary ?This paper describes a numerical study of the major spiral rainband in typhoon Flo (1990) using the Meteorological Research
Institute Mesoscale Nonhydrostatic Model (MRI-NHM). The effects of precipitation schemes and horizontal resolution on the
representation of the simulated rainband are discussed.
Dynamic and thermodynamic structures of the simulated major rainband to the north of the storm center are well represented
in the model with a 5 km horizontal resolution. The structures are consistent with observational results reported for other
tropical cyclones. Among the realistic features are: a cold pool and convergence on the inner side of the band; convergence
above low-level inflow layers; and the outward slope of the updraft with height. The band is caused by the motion of the storm
through its surroundings where horizontal wind has vertical shear.
The simulation of the structure and precipitation pattern associated with the major rainband depends on the precipitation
scheme rather than the horizontal resolution. The band appears more realistic when using explicit cloud microphysics as a
precipitation scheme, rather than moist convective adjustment. This result is attributable to the difference in scheme triggering.
In the simulation with moist convective adjustment, the elimination of vertical instability in low-level atmosphere is excessive,
suppressing band formation. The overall structure of the band is also more realistic in the simulation using explicit cloud
microphysics, because a cold pool exists in the lower layers and the vertical axis of upward flow tilts outward. This result
suggests that prediction will partly depend on variables associated with cloud microphysics, such as the mixing ratio of cloud
water.
The horizontal grid distance, which varied between 5 and 20 km, quantitatively influenced the rainfall amount, although the
large-scale band structure remained unchanged. The rainfall amount increased as the grid interval was reduced from 20 to 10-km
but decreased as the interval was further reduced from 10 to 5 km.

Cyclonic storms having maximum winds of 34 knots and above that had genesis in north Indian Ocean have been studied with respect to the eastward passage of Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO). In the three decades (1979–2008), there were a total of 118 cyclones reported in which 96 formed in the region chosen (0–15oN, 60oE–100oE) for the study. Although the percentage of MJO days inducing cyclogenesis is small, it is found that tropical cyclone genesis preferentially occurred during the convective phase of MJO. This accounted for 44 cyclones of the total 54 cyclones (i.e., 81.5%) formed under MJO amplitude 1 and above. The study has shown that, when the enhanced convection of MJO is over the maritime continent and the adjoining eastern Indian Ocean, it creates the highest favorable environment for cyclogenesis in the Bay of Bengal. During this phase, westerlies at 850 hPa are strong in the equatorial region south of Bay of Bengal creating strong cyclonic vorticity in the lower troposphere along with the low vertical wind shear. 相似文献
