The relationship between North Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) peak intensity and subsurface ocean temperature is investigated in this study using atmospheric and ocean reanalysis data. It is found that the peak intensity of basin-wide strong TCs (Categories 4 and 5) is positively correlated with subsurface ocean temperature in the extratropical North Atlantic. A possible physical mechanism is that subsurface ocean temperature in the extratropical North Atlantic can affect local sea surface temperature (SST); on the other hand, the moisture generated by the warming SST in the extratropical North Atlantic is transported to the main region of TC development in the tropics by a near-surface anticyclonic atmospheric circulation over the tropical North Atlantic, affecting TC peak intensity. Moreover, coastal upwelling off Northwest Africa and southern Europe can affect subsurface ocean temperature in the extratropical North Atlantic. Therefore, the peak intensity of strong TCs is also found to be directly correlated with the water temperature in these two upwelling regions on an interdecadal timescale.摘要利用大气与海洋再分析数据等相关资料, 本项研究发现, 北大西洋强台风 (Saffir–Simpson分类中的第4和第5类) 的最大强度与亚热带北大西洋的次表层海温呈正相关. 由于亚热带北大西洋的次表层海温会影响当地的海表温度, 该地区海面产生的水汽通过近地面的反气旋大气环流可被输送到位于热带的台风主要发展区域, 进而影响台风的最大强度. 与此同时, 位于西非北部和南欧的近岸涌升流会影响亚热带北大西洋的次表层海温. 因此, 强台风的最大强度也被发现与上述两个涌升流区域的海温具有相关性, 但是这种相关性主要体现在年代际时间尺度上.  相似文献

Investigating the effect of the Tibetan Plateau on the ITCZ using a coupled Earth system model          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(1):100294

The effect of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was investigated using a coupled Earth system model. The location of the ITCZ (in this work represented by the center of the tropical precipitation maximum) over the tropical Atlantic was found to be sensitive to the existence of the TP. Removing the TP led to a remarkable sea surface temperature (SST) cooling (warming) in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere, which manifested clearly in the Atlantic rather than the Pacific. The locations of maximum precipitation and SST moved southwards clearly in the tropical Atlantic, forcing a southward shift of the atmospheric convection center, and thus the ITCZ. The shift in the ITCZ was also supported by the latitudinal change in the ascending branch of the tropical Hadley Cell, which moved southwards by about 2° in the boreal summer in response to the TP's removal. From the viewpoint of the energy balance between the two hemispheres, the cooling (warming) in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere requires an enhanced northward atmospheric heat transport across the equator, which can be realized by the southward displacement of the ITCZ. This study suggests that the presence of the TP may have played an important role in the climatology of the ITCZ, particularly its location over the tropical Atlantic.摘要本文利用耦合地球气候系统模式研究了青藏高原对热带辐合带 (ITCZ) 的影响. 我们研究发现热带大西洋ITCZ的位置对青藏高原存在与否有明显的敏感性. 与目前真实情况相比, 移除青藏高原会导致北半球海面降温, 南半球海面升温. 这种海面温度变化在大西洋表现得尤为明显, 导致热带大西洋最大海温中心向南移动, 从而迫使大气对流中心向南移动, 即表现为ITCZ的南移. 相应地, 夏季热带大气Hadley环流的上升支也发生明显南移. 北 (南) 半球海洋变冷 (变暖) 这种态势要求增强跨赤道向北的大气经向热量输送, 从而维持各个半球的能量平衡, 而这需要ITCZ位置的南移才能实现. 本文研究表明, 青藏高原的存在在现今ITCZ气候态的形成中可能扮演了重要角色.  相似文献   

Observed decadal shifts and trends in global tropical cyclone activities from 1980 to 2021          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(2):100321

This study investigates the variability of annual tropical cyclone (TC) frequency and intensity over six major ocean basins from 1980 to 2021. Statistical change-point and trend analyses were performed on the TC time series to detect significant decadal variation in TC activities. In the middle of the last decade of the 20th century, the frequency of TC genesis in the North Atlantic basin (NA) and North Indian Ocean (NIO) increased dramatically. In contrast, the frequency in the western North Pacific (WNP) decreased significantly at the end of the century. The other three basins—the East Pacific, southern Indian, and South Pacific—all experienced a declining trend in annual TC frequency. Over recent decades, the average TC intensity has decreased in the East Pacific and the NA, whereas it has risen in the other ocean basins. Specifically, from 2013 to 2021, the average peak TC intensity in the NIO has enhanced significantly. The magnitude of the Genesis Potential Index exhibits fluctuation that is consistent with large-scale parameters in the NIO, NA, and WNP, emphasizing the enhancing and declining trends in TCs. In addition, a trend and correlation analysis of the averaged large-scale characteristics with TCs revealed significant associations between the vertical wind shear and TC frequency over the NIO, NA, and WNP. Therefore, global TC trends and decadal variations associated with environmental parameters deserve further investigation in the future, mainly linked to the significant climate modes.摘要研究发现在1980–2021期间全球6个海域每年热带气旋的发生频次和强度具有显著年代际变化规律, 最近几十年, 北大西洋和北印度洋的热带气旋发生频次明显增加, 但西北太平洋的热带气旋却显著下降. 另外三个海域, 东太平洋, 南印度洋和南太平洋发现所生成的热带气旋有减少趋势. 但在过去十几年, 平均热带气旋的强度除了在东太平洋和北大西洋有所减弱但在其他几个海域有所加强, 特别是在 2013–2021期间, 北印度洋的平均热带气旋的强度增强明显. 热带气旋的潜在生成指数 (GPI) 增加或减少趋势变化与北印度洋, 北大西洋和西太平洋热带气旋变化相关的大尺度环流一致. 另外, 北印度洋, 北大西洋和西太平洋上空的垂直风切变是影响其区域热带气旋发生频次变化的主要因子, 不同的气候模态也可能对全球热带气旋的趋势变化和年代际变化有影响, 值得进一步研究.  相似文献   

Strength of the North African monsoon in the Last Interglacial and under future warming          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(3):100320

The authors explore the response of the Northern African (NAF) monsoon to orbital forcing in the Last Interglacial (LIG) compared with its response to greenhouses gas (GHG) forcing under the SSP5-8.5 scenario simulated in CMIP6. When the summer surface air temperature increases by 1 °C over the Northern Hemisphere, the NAF monsoon precipitation and its variability during the LIG increase by approximately 51% and 22%, respectively, which is much greater than under SSP5-8.5 (2.8% and 4.3%, respectively). GHG forcing enhances the NAF monsoon mainly by increasing the atmospheric moisture, while the LIG's orbital forcing intensifies the NAF monsoon by changing the monsoon circulation. During the LIG, models and data reconstructions indicate a salient hemispheric thermal contrast between the North and South Atlantic, strengthening the mean-state NAF monsoon precipitation. The interhemispheric temperature contrast enhances atmosphere–ocean interaction and the covariability of the northward sea surface temperature gradient and Saharan low, strengthening the NAF monsoon variability.摘要与人为强迫引起的全球变暖相比, 末次间冰期是轨道强迫引起的过去80万年来最暖的一个间冰期, 但鲜有人研究末次间冰期中北非季风的响应. 因此, 本文基于CMIP6多模式模拟结果对比研究了末次间冰期和SSP5–8.5情景下北非季风的响应, 发现末次间冰期下北非季风平均降水及其降水变率均远大于SSP5–8.5情景下的结果. 轨道强迫导致的北大西洋暖于南大西洋增加了北非季风环流和平均降水, 同时, 南北大西洋海温梯度变化通过增强热带北大西洋的海气相互作用增大了海温梯度和撒哈拉低压的变率, 从而增强了北非季风降水变率.  相似文献

北美偶极子(NAD)是热带北大西洋西部和北美东北部的南北向海平面气压异常偶极型模态.以往的观测研究表明,NAD可以有效地影响ENSO事件的爆发.本文利用全球耦合模式FGOALS-g2,评估了NAD与ENSO的关系.结果表明,该模式能较好地重现NAD模态.进一步的分析验证了冬季NAD可以通过强迫冬末春初副热带东北太平洋上空的反气旋和暖海温的出现,在随后的冬季触发El Ni?o事件.此外,在同化NAD实验中,发生El Ni?o事件的概率增加了将近一倍.相比之下,NAO未能在副热带东北太平洋上空引起表面风和海温的异常,因而不能有效地激发次年冬季ENSO事件.  相似文献

CWRF-based ensemble simulation of tropical cyclone activity near China and its sensitivity to the model physical parameterization schemes: 基于CWRF的中国近海热带气旋集合模拟及其对物理参数化方案的敏感性研究          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2021,14(1):100004

To evaluate the downscaling ability with respect to tropical cyclones (TCs) near China and its sensitivity to the model physics representation, the authors performed a multi-physics ensemble simulation with the regional Climate–Weather Research and Forecasting (CWRF) model at a 30 km resolution driven by ERA-Interim reanalysis data. The ensemble consisted of 28 integrations during 1979–2016 with varying CWRF physics configurations. Both CWRF and ERA-Interim can generally capture the seasonal cycle and interannual variation of the TC number near China, but evidently underestimate them. The CWRF downscaling and its multi-physics ensemble can notably reduce the underestimation and significantly improve the simulation of the TC occurrences. The skill enhancement is especially large in terms of the interannual variation, which is most sensitive to the cumulus scheme, followed by the boundary layer, surface and radiation schemes, but weakly sensitive to the cloud and microphysics schemes. Generally, the Noah surface scheme, CAML(CAM radiation scheme as implemented by Liang together with the diagnostic cloud cover scheme of Xu and Randall(1996)) radiation scheme, prognostic cloud scheme, and Thompson microphysics scheme stand out for their better performance in simulating the interannual variation of TC number. However, the Emanuel cumulus and MYNN boundary layer schemes produce severe interannual biases. Our study provides a valuable reference for CWRF application to improve the understanding and prediction of TC activity.摘要为评估CWRF模式的降尺度能力和其热带气旋模拟对物理参数化方案的敏感性, 本文利用ERI再分析资料驱动CWRF在30km网格上对1982-2016年中国近海热带气旋开展了一次集合模拟.结果表明:CWRF与ERI均能模拟出热带气旋的季节变化和年际变化形势且均存在低估, 但相较ERI, CWRF的降尺度技术和集合模拟可以再现更多的热带气旋, 显著减少低估.年际变化结果提升最为明显, 它对积云方案最为敏感, 其次是边界层, 陆面和辐射方案, 对云和微物理方案较弱.该研究为应用CWRF理解和预报热带气旋提供了参考.  相似文献   

The development of a powerful Mongolian cyclone on 14–15 March 2021: Eddy energy analysis          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2022,15(6):100259

Intense and extensive dust, caused by a strong Mongolian cyclone, hit Mongolia and northern China on 14–15 March 2021. In this study, the development process of this cyclone is analysed from the perspective of high-frequency eddy energetics. During the low-frequency circulation field of early March of 2021, an amplified polar vortex intruding towards central Asia and a ridge straddling eastern and northeastern Asia worked in concert to comprise a strong baroclinic zone from central Asia to Lake Baikal. Under these favourable conditions, on 13 March, a migratory trough triggered the Mongolian cyclone by crossing over the Sayan Mountains. The downwards transfer of kinetic energy from the eddy at 850 hPa played a key role in the intensification and mature stage of the cyclone. This mechanism was primarily completed by the cold air sinking behind the cold front. The frontal cyclone wave mechanism became crucial once the cyclone started to rapidly develop. The authors emphasize that the anomalously large growth of high-frequency available potential energy, which characterized this super strong cyclone, was obtained by extracting energy first from the time-mean available potential energy and then from the low-frequency available potential energy. The interannual temperature anomaly pattern of “north cold south warm” facilitated the additional time-mean available potential energy, and the temperature anomaly pattern of “northwest cold southeast warm” conditioned the extra low-frequency available potential energy. The analysis results suggest that the interaction between high- and low-frequency waves was also important in the development of the intense cyclone.摘要2021年3月14-15日, 强蒙古气旋引起的大范围强沙尘天气袭击了蒙古国和中国北方地区. 本文从高频涡动能量学的角度分析了这一超强气旋的发展过程. 2021年3月初, 加强的极涡向中亚伸入, 并与横跨东亚和东北亚的一个大型脊协同作用, 由此形成了从中亚到贝加尔湖地区的强大斜压带. 在这一有利的低频环流条件下, 3月13日一个移动性小槽越过萨彦岭后触发了蒙古气旋. 850 hPa涡旋动能的下传在气旋的加强和成熟阶段起到了关键作用. 而这一机制主要由冷锋后侧的冷空气下沉过程完成. 一旦气旋开始快速发展, 锋面气旋波机制就变得至关重要.我们强调, 高频涡动有效位能是首先从时间平均有效势能中提取能量, 然后从低频有效位能中汲取能量而剧烈增长的, 这正是该超强气旋的鲜明特征. “北冷南暖”的近地面温度气候异常型为时间平均有效位能的增多和向高频涡动有效位能的转换提供了条件, 而“西北冷东南暖”的温度异常型则有利于低频有效位能的增加和向高频涡动有效位能的转换. 分析结果表明, 高低频波之间的相互作用对蒙古气旋的增强也很重要.  相似文献   

Sea surface temperature anomaly in the tropical North Atlantic during El Niño decaying years          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2021,14(6):100077

Based on reanalysis data from 1979 to 2016, this study focuses on the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly of the tropical North Atlantic (TNA) in El Niño decaying years. The TNA SST exhibits a clear warm trend during this period. The composite result for 10 El Niño events shows that the TNA SST anomaly reaches its maximum in spring after the peak of an El Niño event and persists until summer. In general, the anomaly is associated with three factors—namely, El Niño, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and a long-term trend, leading to an increase in local SST up to 0.4°C, 0.3°C, and 0.35°C, respectively. A comparison between 1983 and 2005 indicates that the TNA SST in spring is affected by El Niño, as well as the local SST in the preceding winter, which may involve a long-term trend signal. In addition, the lead–lag correlation shows that the NAO leads the TNA SST by 2–3 months. By comparing two years with an opposite phase of the NAO in winter (i.e., 1992 and 2010), the authors further demonstrate that the NAO is another important factor in regulating the TNA SST anomaly. A negative phase of the NAO in winter will reinforce the El Niño forcing substantially, and vise versa. In other words, the TNA SST anomaly in the decaying years is more evident if the NAO is negative with El Niño. Therefore, the combined effects of El Niño and the NAO must be considered in order to fully understand the TNA SST variability along with a long-term trend.摘要基于1979年到2016年多种再分析资料, 本文分析了El Niño衰减年热带北大西洋的海温异常. 结果表明, 热带北大西洋海温在此期间呈显著变暖趋势. 10次El Niño事件的合成结果表明热带北大西洋海温异常在El Niño事件峰值之后的春季达到最大值, 并持续到夏季. 一般而言, 这种异常与三个因子有关, 即El Niño, 北大西洋涛动和长期趋势, 能分别导致局地海温上升0.4°C, 0.3°C和0.35°C. 1983年和2005年的对比分析表明, 尽管El Niño强度对春季北大西洋海温起到决定性作用, 与长期趋势密切相关的前冬海温也很重要. 此外, 超前-滞后相关结果表明北大西洋涛动超前海温约2–3个月. 比较两个冬季相反位相北大西洋涛动的年份 (即1992年和2010年) , 表明北大西洋涛动也能调制北大西洋海温异常. 冬季负位相北大西洋涛动能显著增强El Niño的强迫影响, 反之亦然. 换言之, 如果北大西洋涛动与El Niño位相相合, 衰减年北大西洋海温异常才更为显著. 因此, 为全面理解热带北大西洋海温变化, 除长期趋势外, 还必须考虑El Niño和北大西洋涛动的综合影响.  相似文献   

A spatiotemporal 3D convolutional neural network model for ENSO predictions: A test case for the 2020/21 La Niña conditions          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(4):100330

Many coupled models are unable to accurately depict the multi-year La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific during 2020–22, which poses a new challenge for real-time El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) predictions. Yet, the corresponding processes responsible for the multi-year coolings are still not understood well. In this paper, reanalysis products are analyzed to examine the ocean–atmosphere interactions in the tropical Pacific that have led to the evolution of sea surface temperature (SST) in the central-eastern equatorial Pacific, including the strong anomalous southeasterly winds over the southeastern tropical Pacific and the related subsurface thermal anomalies. Meanwhile, a divided temporal and spatial (TS) 3D convolution neural network (CNN) model, named TS-3DCNN, was developed to make predictions of the 2020/21 La Niña conditions; results from this novel data-driven model are compared with those from a physics-based intermediate coupled model (ICM). The prediction results made using the TS-3DCNN model for the 2020–22 La Niña indicate that this deep learning–based model can capture the two-year La Niña event to some extent, and is comparable to the IOCAS ICM; the latter dynamical model yields a successful real-time prediction of the Niño3.4 SST anomaly in late 2021 when it is initiated from early 2021. For physical interpretability, sensitivity experiments were designed and carried out to confirm the dominant roles played by the anomalous southeasterly wind and subsurface temperature fields in sustaining the second-year cooling in late 2021. As a potential approach to improving predictions for diversities of ENSO events, additional studies on effectively combining neural networks with dynamical processes and mechanisms are expected to significantly enhance the ENSO prediction capability.摘要2020–22年间热带太平洋经历了持续性多年的拉尼娜事件, 多数耦合模式都难以准确预测其演变过程, 这为厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)的实时预测带来了很大的挑战. 同时, 目前学术界对此次持续性双拉尼娜事件的发展仍缺乏合理的物理解释, 其所涉及的物理过程和机制有待于进一步分析. 本研究利用再分析数据产品分析了热带东南太平洋东南风异常及其引起的次表层海温异常在此次热带太平洋海表温度(SST)异常演变中的作用, 并构建了一个时空分离(Time-Space)的三维(3D)卷积神经网络模型(TS-3DCNN)对此次双拉尼娜事件进行实时预测和过程分析. 通过将TS-3DCNN与中国科学院海洋研究所(IOCAS)中等复杂程度海气耦合模式(IOCAS ICM)的预测结果对比, 表明TS-3DCNN模型对2020–22年双重拉尼娜现象的预测能力与IOCAS ICM相当, 二者均能够从2021年初的初始场开始较好地预测2021年末 El Niño3.4区SST的演变. 此外, 基于TS-3DCNN和IOCAS ICM的敏感性试验也验证了赤道外风场异常和次表层海温异常在2021年末赤道中东太平洋海表二次变冷过程中的关键作用. 未来将神经网络与动力 模式模式间的有效结合, 进一步发展神经网络与物理过程相结合的混合建模是进一步提高ENSO事件预测能力的有效途径.  相似文献   

Impact of Interannual Variation of Synoptic Disturbances on the Tracks and Landfalls of Tropical Cyclones over the Western North Pacific     

Xingyan ZHOU  Riyu LU  Guanghua CHEN 《大气科学进展》2018,35(12):1469-1477

This study investigates the tropical cyclone (TC) activity associated with the two leading modes of interannual variability in synoptic disturbances. Both leading modes are found to be related to a dipole pattern of TC occurrence between the subtropical western North Pacific and the South China Sea. Therefore, in this study we performed composite analyses on TC tracks and landfalls, based on the cases of combined modes, to highlight the differences. The composite results indicate that these cases are characterized by distinct features of TC tracks and landfalls: more TCs tend to take recurving tracks and attack eastern China, Korea and Japan, or more TCs exhibit straight-moving tracks and hit the Philippines, Vietnam and southern China. Further analyses suggest that these distinctions in the TC prevailing tracks and landfalls can be attributed to the differences in large-scale steering flow and TC genesis location.  相似文献

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(4):100373

Tropical cyclones (TCs) seriously endanger human life and the safety of property. Real-time monitoring of TCs has been one of the focal points in meteorological studies. With the development of space technology and sensor technology, satellite remote sensing has become the main means of monitoring TCs. Furthermore, with its superior data mining capability, deep learning has shown advantages over traditional physical or statistical-based algorithms in the geosciences. As a result, more deep-learning algorithms are being developed and applied to extract TC information. This paper systematically reviews the deep-learning frameworks used for TC information extraction and then gives two typical applications of deep-learning models for TC intensity and wind radius estimation. In addition, the authors present an outlook on the future perspectives of deep learning in TC information extraction.摘要热带气旋 (TC) 严重危害人类生命和财产安全, TC的实时监测一直是研究热点, 随着空间和传感器技术的发展, 卫星遥感已成为监测TC的主要手段. 此外, 深度学习具有卓越的数据挖掘能力, 在地球科学中的表现优于基于物理或统计的算法, 越来越多的深度学习算法被开发和应用于TC信息的提取, 本文系统地回顾了深度学习在TC信息提取中的应用, 并给出了深度学习模型在TC强度和风圈半径提取中的应用. 此外, 本文还展望了深度学习在TC信息提取中的应用前景.  相似文献

In November 2020, the eastern Arctic experienced an extensive extreme warm anomaly (i.e., the second strongest case since 1979), which was followed by extreme cold conditions over East Asia in early winter. The observed Arctic warm anomaly in November 2020 was able to extend upwards to the upper troposphere, characterized as a deep Arctic warm anomaly. In autumn 2020, substantial Arctic sea-ice loss that exceeded the record held since 1979, accompanied by increased upward turbulent heat flux, was able to strongly warm the Arctic. Furthermore, there was abundant northward moisture transport into the Arctic from the North Atlantic, which was the strongest in the past four decades. This extreme moisture intrusion was able to enhance the downward longwave radiation and strongly contribute to the warm conditions in the Arctic. Further analysis indicated that the remote moisture intrusion into the Arctic was promoted by the large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns, such as the wave train propagating from the midlatitude North Atlantic to the Arctic. This process may have been linked to the warmer sea surface temperature in the midlatitude North Atlantic.摘要2020年11月北极东部显著偏暖, 表面气温暖异常为1979年以来第二强, 且北极表层偏暖可以延伸至对流层上层. 本文进一步研究了此次北极极端偏暖的可能原因. 2020年秋季北极海冰大幅减少, 11月从北大西洋向北极的水汽输送显著增加, 且二者的变化幅度均超过了1979年以来的最高纪录, 进而导致北极出现极端暖异常. 此外, 从中纬度向北极的Rossby波传播有利于向极水汽输送增加, 且此过程可能与北大西洋中纬度海温异常有关.  相似文献   

Subseasonal reversal of haze pollution over the North China Plain          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(1):100274

China has been frequently suffering from haze pollution in the past several decades. As one of the most emission-intensive regions, the North China Plain (NCP) features severe haze pollution with multiscale variations. Using more than 30 years of visibility measurements and PM_2.5 observations, a subseasonal seesaw phenomenon of haze in autumn and early winter over the NCP is revealed in this study. It is found that when September and October are less (more) polluted than the climatology, haze tends to be enhanced (reduced) in November and December. The abrupt turn of anomalous haze is found to be associated with the circulation reversal of regional and large-scale atmospheric circulations. Months with poor air quality exhibit higher relative humidity, lower boundary layer height, lower near-surface wind speed, and southerly anomalies of low-level winds, which are all unfavorable for the vertical and horizontal dispersion and transport of air pollutants, thus leading to enhanced haze pollution over the NCP region on the subseasonal scale. Further exploration indicates that the reversal of circulation patterns is closely connected to the propagation of midlatitude wave trains active on the subseasonal time scale, which is plausibly associated with the East Atlantic/West Russia teleconnection synchronizing with the transition of the North Atlantic SST. The seesaw relation discussed in this paper provides greater insight into the prediction of the multiscale variability of haze, as well as the possibility of efficient short-term mitigation of haze to meet annual air quality targets in North China.摘要中国近几十年来频受雾霾污染问题困扰, 其中华北平原作为排放最密集的区域之一, 常遭遇不同尺度的严重雾霾污染. 本文利用30余年的能见度和颗粒物 (PM_2.5) 观测数据, 发现了华北平原地区在秋季和早冬时雾霾污染在次季节尺度上“跷跷板式”反向变化的关系. 研究发现, 当9–10月污染较轻 (重) 时, 11–12月的污染倾向于加重 (减轻) . 这种突然的变化与局地和大尺度环流的反向变化有关. 污染较重的月份常伴随有更高的相对湿度, 更低的边界层高度和近地面风速以及低层的南风异常, 均不利于污染的垂直和水平扩散和传输, 从而导致了次季节尺度上霾污染的加重. 进一步的研究发现环流场的突然转向与在次季节尺度上活跃的中纬度波列的传播密切相关, 而此波列可能主要与大西洋海温转变及引起的EA/WR遥相关型有关. 这一次季节反向变化为霾污染多尺度变率预测提供了新的理解, 同时为华北地区年度空气质量达标的短期目标提供了具有可行性的参考方法.  相似文献   

On the relationship between tropical cyclone size and environmental helicity in the South China Sea          下载免费PDF全文

In this study, the impact of environmental factors on tropical cyclone (TC) outer-core size was investigated for both migrating and local TCs in the South China Sea during the period 2001–2019. Among all the thermodynamic and dynamic factors, the low-level environmental helicity showed the strongest positive correlation with TC outer-core size. Large helicity favors the development and organization of convection in TCs, and the corresponding strong inflow and large angular momentum fluxes into the system is beneficial for the maintenance and enlargement of TC outer-core size. Besides, the asymmetric distribution of helicity may account for the asymmetry of TC outer-core size. Therefore, the environmental helicity, as an integrated dynamic factor, can provide an alternative view on TC outer-core size.摘要本文利用2001–2019年间的ERA5再分析数据集和热带气旋 (TC) 最佳路径观测, 分析了中国南海TC的外围尺度与环境变量之间的关系. 研究发现, 低层环境螺旋度与TC外围尺度具有显著的正相关. 大的环境螺旋度有利于TC外围对流的增强和组织化, 与之对应的径向入流和角动量输送有利于TC外围尺度的维持或扩张. 此外, 螺旋度的非对称分布与TC外围尺度的非对称性结构也密切相关. 环境螺旋度作为一个包含TC外围对流强度和组织化程度等信息的综合动力因子, 为理解TC外围尺度变化提供了不同的视角.  相似文献   

Wave forecast in the Atlantic Ocean using a double-stage ConvLSTM network          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(4):100347

Accurate forecasting of ocean waves is of great importance to the safety of marine transportation. Despite wave forecasts having been improved, the current level of prediction skill is still far from satisfactory. Here, the authors propose a new physically informed deep learning model, named Double-stage ConvLSTM (D-ConvLSTM), to improve wave forecasts in the Atlantic Ocean. The waves in the next three consecutive days are predicted by feeding the deep learning model with the observed wave conditions in the preceding two days and the simultaneous ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) wind forcing during the forecast period. The prediction skill of the d-ConvLSTM model was compared with that of two other forecasting methods—namely, the wave persistence forecast and the original ConvLSTM model. The results showed an increasing prediction error with the forecast lead time when the forecasts were evaluated using ERA5 reanalysis data. The d-ConvLSTM model outperformed the other two models in terms of wave prediction accuracy, with a root-mean-square error of lower than 0.4 m and an anomaly correlation coefficient skill of ∼0.80 at lead times of up to three days. In addition, a similar prediction was generated when the wind forcing was replaced by the IFS forecasted wind, suggesting that the d-ConvLSTM model is comparable to the Wave Model of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF-WAM), but more economical and time-saving.摘要海浪预报对海上运输安全至关重要. 本研究提出了一种涵盖物理信息的深度学习模型Double-stage ConvLSTM (D-ConvLSTM) 以改进大西洋的海浪预报. 将D-ConvLSTM模型与海浪持续性预测和原始ConvLSTM模型的预测技巧进行对比. 结果表明, 预测误差随着预测时长的增加而增加. D-ConvLSTM模型在预测准确度方面优于前二者, 且第三天预测的均方根误差低于0.4 m, 距平相关系数约在0.8. 此外, 当使用IFS预测风替代再分析风时, 能够产生相似的预测效果. 这表明D-ConvLSTM模型的预测能力能够与ECMWF-WAM模式相当, 且更节省计算资源和时间.  相似文献   

The relationships between tropical cyclone tracks and local SST over the western North Pacific   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

Tropical Cyclone (TC) tracks over the western North Pacific (WNP) during 1949–2007, obtained from China Meteorological Administration/Shanghai Typhoon institute, are classified into three track types. These types are the main pathways by which TCs influence the coast of East Asia. The relationships between local sea surface temperature (SST) in WNP and TC tracks are revealed. Results show that the local SST plays an important role in TC tracks, though the relationships between local SST and the frequencies ...  相似文献   

Impacts of the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation on the tropospheric circulation and climate in the Northeast Asia–North Pacific region in early summer          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(3):100319

Previous studies have indicated that the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) has a global impact on winter weather, but relatively less attention has been paid to its effect in summer. Using ERA5 data, this study reports that the QBO has a significant impact on the tropospheric circulation and surface air temperature (SAT) in the extratropics in Northeast Asia and the North Pacific in early summer. Specifically, a QBO-induced mean meridional circulation prevails from Northeast Asia to the North Pacific in the westerly QBO years, exhibiting westerly anomalies in 20°–35°N and easterly anomalies in 35°–65°N from the lower stratosphere to troposphere. This meridional pattern of zonal wind anomalies can excite positive vorticity and thus lead to anomalous low pressure and cyclonic circulation from Northeast Asia to the North Pacific, which in turn cause northerly wind anomalies and decreased SAT in Northeast Asia in June. Conversely, in the easterly QBO years, the QBO-related circulation and SAT anomalies are generally in an opposite polarity to those in the westerly QBO years. These findings provide new evidence of the impact of the QBO on the extratropical climate, and may benefit the prediction of SAT in Northeast Asia in early summer.摘要本文研究了平流层准两年振荡 (QBO) 对东北亚-北太平洋地区初夏对流层环流和地表气温的影响. 在QBO西风位相年, 东北亚至北太平洋地区存在一支由QBO引发的平均经向环流异常, 该经向环流异常可在东北亚至北太平洋地区激发正涡度, 并形成异常气旋式环流. 气旋左侧出现的异常偏北风导致6月东北亚地表气温下降. QBO东风位相年的结果与西风位相年大致相反. 这些结果为QBO对热带外地区天气,气候的影响提供了新的证据, 并为东北亚初夏地表气温的预测提供了新的线索.  相似文献   

Performance of CMIP6 models in simulating the dynamic sea level: Mean and interannual variance          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2023,16(1):100288

Observational data from satellite altimetry were used to quantify the performance of CMIP6 models in simulating the climatological mean and interannual variance of the dynamic sea level (DSL) over 40°S–40°N. In terms of the mean state, the models generally agree well with observations, and high consistency is apparent across different models. The largest bias and model discrepancy is located in the subtropical North Atlantic. As for simulation of the interannual variance, good agreement can be seen across different models, yet the models present a relatively low agreement with observations. The simulations show much weaker variance than observed, and bias is apparent over the subtropics in association with strong western boundary currents. This nearshore bias is reduced considerably in HighResMIP models. The underestimation of DSL interannual variance is at least partially due to the misrepresentation of ocean processes in the CMIP6 historical simulation with its relatively low resolution. The results identify directions for future model development towards a better understanding of the mean and interannual variability of DSL.摘要本研究采用卫星测高数据与第六次国际耦合模式比较计划 (CMIP6) 海平面动力进行对比, 重点针对40°S–40°N地区的动力海平面 (DSL) , 评估了模式对其平均态与年际变率的综合模拟能力. 结果表明, 对于DSL平均态的模拟, 模式与观测结果非常吻合, 模式之间的差异较小. 其中, 副热带北大西洋是模拟偏差和模式间差异较为显著的区域. 对于DSL年际变率的模拟, 模式之间保持较高的一致性, 但是, 模式与观测结果存在明显差异, 模式普遍低估了DSL的年际方差; 其中, 误差大值区域出现在副热带西边界流附近. 模式分辨率会影响CMIP6对中小尺度海洋过程的重现能力, 这可能是导致CMIP6历史模拟出现误差的原因之一.  相似文献
