大气环流优势模态对北极海冰变化的响应Ⅰ.北极涛动   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

利用美国冰雪中心海冰密集度数据,分析了1979-2012年北极海冰面积的时间变化特征,发现北极海冰具有显著的年代际变化特征,分别在1997和2007年前后存在两次年代际转型突变点,相应的大气环流优势模态——北极涛动(AO)也存在显著的时空变化。1979-1996年阶段海冰下降趋势较弱并以较强的年际振荡为主,AO模态较强且显示出低频振荡特征;1997-2006年阶段北极海冰快速减退趋势占优,同时伴随着较弱的年际振荡,AO模态减弱且振荡周期缩短;2007-2012年阶段海冰范围较快下降同时具有极强的年际振荡,方差变化是前两个阶段的2~3倍,AO不仅强度加强,空间结构也发生了变化,极涡中心分别向格陵兰岛和白令海峡一侧延伸,这种结构有利于极地冷空气入侵欧洲和北美。利用ECHAM5大气模式进行的数值试验结果也证实了较强振荡的海冰强迫对AO模态的改变具有决定作用。  相似文献

许多研究认为,只有北大西洋涛动(NAO)是一种具有物理意义的模态,而北极涛动(AO)则是EOF分解得到的一种统计假象模态。为了从一个新的角度进一步探讨二者的差别,我们运用附条件的最大协方差分析(CMCA)统计了前期北极边缘海冰密集度(MSCI)与来年冬季NAO之间的跨季节遥相关关系,其中的ENSO信号和线性趋势已经在分析之前被去除。统计显著性结果表明:冬季负位相的NAO信号可以追溯到6个月前自盛夏开始至早冬季节北极MSCI异常的逐步演变。然而根据先前的研究,北极海冰异常仅可以超前冬季AO 大概4个月表现出显著信号。这表明盛夏北极MSCI的持续异常对来年冬季NAO的影响比对AO更强,同时也从另一个角度证实了AO与NAO确实存在差异。进一步分析还表明,前期MSCI异常的逐步演变主要与海表面热通量及气温异常有关。此外,我们还重新审视了负位相的NAO对北半球冬季气候异常的影响以及可能的物理机制。  相似文献

通过谐波分析的方法,对东亚31个冬季(1980—2010年)的气温提取年际变化分量(周期小于8a部分)进行EOF分析。结果发现:在年际变化的时间尺度上,东亚冬季气温表现为高纬模态和低纬模态2个主要模态,它们一起可以解释总方差73%的变化。进一步分析表明,在年际变化尺度上,与气温变化的高纬模态相联系的大气环流表现为显著的北极涛动(AO)负位相分布,海平面气压场上西伯利亚高压和阿留申低压北移,对流层中层东亚大槽西移,高层西风急流向西北方向移动;副热带北太平洋和阿拉斯加湾的海表面温度(SST)变化呈偶极子振荡分布,这种准两年的周期振荡对这一模态的出现有一定的预示意义。而与气温变化的低纬模态相联系的大气环流表现为类AO正位相分布,与之相关的西伯利亚高压和阿留申低压南移,对流层中层东亚大槽东移,高层的西风急流则是向东南方向移动;赤道东太平洋的SST异常可能对这一模态的形成有一定的作用,而东亚近海的SST则更多是被动地改变。此外,海冰异常变化与东亚冬季气温变化的联系主要体现在:在前夏和前秋,东西伯利亚海-波弗特海海冰异常减少(增加)对应着随后东亚冬季气温变化的高纬模态(低纬模态),而冬季东亚气温变化的高纬模态(低纬模态)又与后期春季北极东半球的海冰异常增加(减少)具有较好的相关性,此外白令海和鄂霍次克海的海冰异常变化是伴随东亚冬季气温变化产生的。  相似文献

利用NASA的北极海冰密集度资料(分辨率1.0°×0.25°,时间1979.10-2002.8)对冬季(12-2月)鄂霍次克海到白令海(42°-66°N、131°-158°W)的海冰场进行EOF分解,得到特征向量的空间分布及时间系数.利用NCEP再分析月资料(分辨率2.5°×2.5°,时间1979-2002年),采用合成分析的方法,分别对该区域海冰分布第一特征向量时间系数超过+0.5和低于-0.5年份做冬季500hPa高度、l000hPa高度、1000hPa气温的合成距平场.分析结果表明该区域的海冰分布与北半球中高纬度的大气环流和气温有显著的关系,同一模态下的海冰分布反位相时对应的大气状况也有明显的相反趋势.  相似文献

利用菱形截断15波的9层全球大气环流谱模式设计了若干数值试验,分别研究了赤道中东太平洋海温偏暖、北极不同区域海冰偏多以及海温偏暖同时海冰偏多对夏季北半球大气环流的影响,结果表明北极海冰偏多和赤道中东太平洋海温偏暖,对夏季北半球大气环流具有同等效应,海冰和赤道海温任何一方的变异均可显着影响大气环流,其中亚洲-北美型和欧亚型遥相关是极冰和赤道海温影响北半球夏季大气环流异常的主要动力学途径。本文结果再一次证实了赤道和极地之间的热力差是决定大气环流的最基本因子。  相似文献

中国近50年寒潮冷空气的时空特征及其与北极海冰的关系   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
利用中国具有较长时间序列的527个站点1961—2010年的日平均温度观测资料,美国国家环境预报中心和国家大气研究中心(NCEP/NCAR)再分析资料以及伊利莱诺斯大学的海冰密集度资料,分析了我国近50年来寒潮的时空变化及与其相联系的海冰和大气环流异常的关系。结果表明,中国寒潮冷空气活动频数存在两个主要模态,第一模态表现在中国北方冷空气活动频数呈年代际减少趋势,1980年之前寒潮冷空气频数偏多,1990年后寒潮冷空气频数偏少;第二模态表现为我国南方冷空气频数的年际振荡特征。第一模态寒潮冷空气频数的减少主要与全球变暖有关,北极海冰的减少使得1980年代后期北极涛动加强,并激发出欧亚遥相关波列进而影响我国的寒潮冷空气活动。第二模态则与近些年来夏季北极海冰的快速融化以及北极大气出现偶极子型环流异常有关,通过激发跨极型和类欧亚遥相关波列影响到后冬的中国南方寒潮冷空气活动增多。  相似文献

北极极端气旋过程能够反映北极气候变化特征并对北极水文气象要素的调节具有重要影响,其活动及大气环流形势特征值得关注。利用美国国家环境预报中心(National Centers for Environmental Prediction,NCEP)与美国国家大气研究中心(National Center for Atmospheric Research,NCAR)提供的逐日再分析资料定义北极超强气旋(Arctic Super Cyclone, ASC)过程,结合美国国家冰雪数据中心(National Snow and Ice Data Center, NSIDC)基于NCEP/NCAR再分析资料追踪识别的北半球气旋及特征资料,分析了ASC的活动特征及其大气环流特征。结果表明:判别ASC的北极最低气压5%阈值具有显著的冬季低夏季高的单峰型季节变化特征,冬季ASC的强度远强于夏季;ASC多从大西洋扇区经北欧海?巴伦支海?喀拉海输入到极区,也存在少部分极区原生或太平洋扇区输入;ASC多生成于两大洋急流轴或急流出口区北侧,极少数生成于大陆或中低纬度,且绝大多数在极区消亡难以回到中纬度。极区原生ASC频数占总数约1/3,整体没有显著增减趋势,但长生命史ASC频数以0.49次/(10 a)的趋势增多,表明其持续时间增长。ASC频数与北极涛动(Arctic Oscillation, AO)在冬季相关性很好,其大气环流形势回归场中极区海平面出现低压低温异常,高空极涡加深且两大洋急流偏北,中纬度急流主轴偏弱;ASC的生成发展不仅有利于AO向正位相转变,同时AO正位相下也有利于ASC活动的增强,ASC活动是AO位相变化的潜在指标。  相似文献

依据对2000/2001—2014/2015年冬季渤海海冰范围和海平面气压(SLP)场季节内和年际变化的分析表明,SLP场与海冰范围关系密切,其中西伯利亚高压、冰岛低压附近为正相关区,亚速尔高压附近为负相关区。西伯利亚高压的变化在季节内和年际尺度上同时影响渤海海冰,北大西洋涛动(NAO)与渤海海冰的相关性主要表现在年际尺度上。研究表明,渤海海冰逐年冬季的季节内变化有所不同,在2003/2004、2004/2005、2007/2008年存在9~12候的显著周期,与大气30~60d的季节内振荡相对应,但在2009/2010年以后这一周期没有再出现,而西伯利亚高压相关区SLP的9~12候信号在整个研究时段相对较明显,这可以解释在季节内尺度上西伯利亚相关区与海冰范围的相关性在2009/2010年以后明显减小的现象;在年际尺度上,2007/2008年以后NAO(冰岛和亚速尔相关区SLP)与海冰范围的相关性突然增大,这一变化是由NAO和海冰范围(渤海地区气温)的2~4年和4~8年周期从2007/2008年开始更加契合引起的。NAO年际周期的变化可能会通过大气环流的北极-亚洲遥相关模态对渤海海冰范围产生影响。  相似文献

北极冬季季节性海冰双模态特征分析   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

近年来北极海冰快速变化,北极中央区边缘正由以多年冰为主转为季节性海冰为主。通过对北极冬季季节性海冰的EOF分解发现,2002-2012年期间北极季节性海冰变化的前两模态主要体现为2005年和2007年的季节性海冰距平。其中第二模态主要体现了北极海冰在2005年的一种极端变化,而第一模态不仅体现了北极海冰在2007年的变化,还体现了北极季节性海冰的从负位相到正位相的转变。通过比较发现,在研究时段北极季节性海冰最主要的变化发生在北极太平洋扇区,在2007年,冬季季节性海冰距平发生位相转变,2007-2010年一直维持正位相,北极太平洋扇区冬季季节性海冰保持显著正距平。太平洋扇区表面温度最大异常也发生在2007年,从大气环流来看,2007年之后波弗特海区异常高压有利于夏季太平洋扇区海冰的减少,而西风急流的减弱有利于夏季波弗特海区异常高压的维持,结合夏季海冰速度,顺时针的冰速分布有利于海冰离开太平洋扇区,因而会导致冬季太平洋扇区季节性海冰转为正距平并且从2007年一直维持到2010年。  相似文献

采用统计方法,分析了热带太平洋SSTA与北极海冰之间的联系。结果表明:北极海冰从上世纪80年代初由正距平转换为负距平,以-1.5%速率/10a快速消融。尽管冬季海冰也出现减少趋势,但最大海冰减少出现在夏秋季,9月为1年中海冰减少最快的月份。相关分析发现,北极海冰的快速减少与热带太平洋海温变化存在密切联系,赤道中西部SSTA与北极海冰的关系更明显。Nio4区域SSTA变化与北极海冰存在时滞3a左右的最佳相关,6~10月SSTA对北极海冰影响最显著。通过分析,初步认为Nio4区域SSTA主要通过影响北半球中纬度气压场和经向环流场,进而影响AO变化,最终对北极海冰产生影响。  相似文献

海冰消融背景下北极增温的季节差异及其原因探讨   总被引:7,自引:2,他引:5  
运用哈德莱中心第一套海冰覆盖率(HadISST1)、欧洲中心(ERA_Interim)的温度以及NCEP第一套地表感热通量、潜热通量等资料,研究了1979—2011年33a来北极海冰消融的季节特点和空间特征,并从反照率——温度正反馈与地表感热通量、潜热通量等方面分析了海冰减少对北极增温影响的季节差异。结果表明,北极海冰在秋季和夏季的减少范围明显大于冬季和春季,而北极地表升温却在秋季和冬季最显著,夏季最为微弱,且夏季的增温趋势廓线也与秋冬季显著不同。这主要是因为夏季是融冰季,海冰融化将吸收潜热。且此时北极低空大气温度高于海表温度,海水相当于大气的冷源。随着海冰的消融,更多的热量由大气传入海洋用于融冰和加热上层海水,这使得夏季的低空大气不能显著升温。而在秋冬季,海冰凝结释放潜热,且此时低空大气温度远低于海水温度,海冰的减少使得海水将更多热量释放到大气中导致低空大气显著增暖。海水对大气的这种延迟放热机制是北极低空在夏季增温不显著而在秋冬季增温显著的主要原因。此外,秋冬季的海冰减少与北极近地面升温具有非常一致的空间分布,北冰洋东南边缘和巴伦支海北部分别是秋季和冬季海气相互作用的关键区域。  相似文献

A series of numerical experiments have been conducted with a perpetual July, nine-level general circulation spectral model to determine the effect of variation of the Arctic sea ice cover extent and the joint effect of anomalies of both the Arctic sea ice cover and the Central-eastern Equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature on the summer general circulation. Results show that the two factors,anomalously large extent of the Arctic sea ice cover and anomalously warm sea surface temperature over the Central-eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean, play substantially the equal role in the effect on the summer general circulation, and either of them can notably induce the atmospheric anomalies. The main dynamical processes determining the effect of the Arctic sea ice and the equatorial SST anomalies are associated with two leading teleconnection patterns, i. e. the Asia North/American and Eurasian patterns observed in atmosphere. The results presented in this paper again prove that the general circulation is fun  相似文献

Many of the changes observed during the last two decades in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas have been linked to the concomitant abrupt decrease of the sea level pressure in the central Arctic at the end of the 1980s. The decrease was associated with a shift of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) to a positive phase, which persisted throughout the mid 1990s. The Arctic salinity distribution is expected to respond to these dramatic changes via modifications in the ocean circulation and in the fresh water storage and transport by sea ice. The present study investigates these different contributions in the context of idealized ice-ocean experiments forced by atmospheric surface wind-stress or temperature anomalies representative of a positive AO index.Wind stress anomalies representative of a positive AO index generate a decrease of the fresh water content of the upper Arctic Ocean, which is mainly concentrated in the eastern Arctic with almost no compensation from the western Arctic. Sea ice contributes to about two-third of this salinification, another third being provided by an increased supply of salt by the Atlantic inflow and increased fresh water export through the Canadian Archipelago and Fram Strait. The signature of a saltier Atlantic Current in the Norwegian Sea is not found further north in both the Barents Sea and the Fram Strait branches of the Atlantic inflow where instead a widespread freshening is observed. The latter is the result of import of fresh anomalies from the subpolar North Atlantic through the Iceland-Scotland Passage and enhanced advection of low salinity waters via the East Icelandic Current. The volume of ice exported through Fram Strait increases by 20% primarily due to thicker ice advected into the strait from the northern Greenland sector, the increase of ice drift velocities having comparatively less influence. The export anomaly is comparable to those observed during events of Great Salinity Anomalies and induces substantial freshening in the Greenland Sea, which in turn contributes to increasing the fresh water export to the North Atlantic via Denmark Strait. With a fresh water export anomaly of 7 mSv, the latter is the main fresh water supplier to the subpolar North Atlantic, the Canadian Archipelago contributing to 4.4 mSv.The removal of fresh water by sea ice under a positive winter AO index mainly occurs through enhanced thin ice growth in the eastern Arctic. Winter SAT anomalies have little impact on the thermodynamic sea ice response, which is rather dictated by wind driven ice deformation changes. The global sea ice mass balance of the western Arctic indicates almost no net sea ice melt due to competing seasonal thermodynamic processes. The surface freshening and likely enhanced sea ice melt observed in the western Arctic during the 1990s should therefore be attributed to extra-winter atmospheric effects, such as the noticeable recent spring-summer warming in the Canada-Alaska sector, or to other modes of atmospheric circulations than the AO, especially in relation to the North Pacific variability.  相似文献

基于RADARSAT地球物理处理器系统(RGPS)的北极海冰运动散度、旋度和剪切产品,本文计算了北极海冰总形变率,给出了所有RGPS产品时空覆盖范围的总形变率空间分布和时间平均总形变率大于0.01d-1的概率分布。结果表明:对整个RGPS数据库而言(时间跨度从1996年11月至2008年4月),平均总形变率为0.020 4d-1,总形变率大于0.01d-1的数据样本为总样本的45.89%。总形变率高值主要分布在近岸海域,靠近北极点附近的总形变率相对较小。北极海冰总形变率随季节变化,夏季平均总形变率及总形变率大于0.01d-1发生概率要比冬季大,其中,夏季总形变率大于0.01d-1发生概率为59%,而冬季要比夏季低18%。其可能机制主要是,夏季北极地区温度升高,形成海冰融化-破碎-更易融化-更易破碎的放大效果,导致北极海冰总形变率变大。  相似文献

Under the influence of global warming, the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean (AO) is expected to reduce with a transition toward a seasonal ice cover by the end of this century. A comparison of climate-model predictions with measurements shows that the actual rate of ice cover decay in the AO is higher than the predicted one. This paper argues that the rapid shrinking of the Arctic summer ice cover is due to its increased seasonality, while seasonal oscillations of the Atlantic origin water temperature create favorable conditions for the formation of negative anomalies in the ice-cover area in winter. The basis for this hypothesis is the fundamental possibility of the activation of positive feedback provided by a specific feature of the seasonal cycle of the inflowing Atlantic origin water and the peaking of temperature in the Nansen Basin in midwinter. The recently accelerated reduction in the summer ice cover in the AO leads to an increased accumulation of heat in the upper ocean layer during the summer season. The extra heat content of the upper ocean layer favors prerequisite conditions for winter thermohaline convection and the transfer of heat from the Atlantic water (AW) layer to the ice cover. This, in turn, contributes to further ice thinning and a decrease in ice concentration, accelerated melting in summer, and a greater accumulation of heat in the ocean by the end of the following summer. An important role is played by the seasonal variability of the temperature of AW, which forms on the border between the North European and Arctic basins. The phase of seasonal oscillation changes while the AW is moving through the Nansen Basin. As a result, the timing of temperature peak shifts from summer to winter, additionally contributing to enhanced ice melting in winter. The formulated theoretical concept is substantiated by a simplified mathematical model and comparison with observations.  相似文献

A coupled ice-ocean model is configured for the pan-Arctic and northern North Atlantic Ocean with a 27.5 km resolution. The model is driven by the daily atmospheric climatology averaged from the 40-year NCEP reanalysis (1958–1997). The ocean model is the Princeton Ocean Model (POM), while the sea ice model is based on a full thermodynamical and dynamical model with plastic-viscous rheology. A sea ice model with multiple categories of thickness is utilized. A systematic model-data comparison was conducted. This model reasonably reproduces seasonal cycles of both the sea ice and the ocean. Climatological sea ice areas derived from historical data are used to validate the ice model performance. The simulated sea ice cover reaches a maximum of 14 × 106 km2 in winter and a minimum of 6.7 × 106 km2 in summer. This is close to the 95-year climatology with a maximum of 13.3 × 106 km2 in winter and a minimum of 7 × 106 km2 in summer. The simulated general circulation in the Arctic Ocean, the GIN (Greenland, Iceland, and Norwegian) seas, and northern North Atlantic Ocean are qualitatively consistent with historical mapping. It is found that the low winter salinity or freshwater in the Canada Basin tends to converge due to the strong anticyclonic atmospheric circulation that drives the anticyclonic ocean surface current, while low summer salinity or freshwater tends to spread inside the Arctic and exports out of the Arctic due to the relaxing wind field. It is also found that the warm, saline Atlantic Water has little seasonal variation, based on both simulation and observations. Seasonal cycles of temperature and salinity at several representative locations reveals regional features that characterize different water mass properties.  相似文献
