Based on the dynamic framework of WRF and Morrison 2-moment explicit cloud scheme, a salt-seeding scheme was developed and used to simulate the dissipation of a warm fog event during 6–7 November 2009 in the Beijing and Tianjin area. The seeding effect and its physical mechanism were studied. The results indicate that when seeding fog with salt particles sized 80 μm and at a quantity of 6 gm~(-2) at the fog top, the seeding effect near the ground surface layer is negative in the beginning period, and then a positive seeding effect begins to appear at 18 min, with the best effect appearing at 21 min after seeding operation. The positive effect can last about 35 min. The microphysical mechanism of the warm fog dissipation is because of the evaporation due to the water vapor condensation on the salt particles and coalescence with salt particles.The process of fog water coalescence with salt particles contributed mostly to this warm fog dissipation. Furthermore, two series of sensitivity experiments were performed to study the seeding effect under different seeding amounts and salt particles sizes. The results show that seeding fog with salt particles sized of 80 μm can have the best seeding effect, and the seeding effect is negative when the salt particle size is less than 10 μm. For salt particles sized 80 μm, the best seeding effect, with corresponding visibility of 380 m, can be achieved when the seeding amount is 30 g m~(-2).  相似文献

Based on observational precipitation at 63 stations in South China and NCEP NCAR reanalysis data during 1951 2010,a cluster analysis is performed to classify large-scale circulation patterns responsible for persistent precipitation extremes(PPEs) that are independent of the influence of tropical cyclones(TCs).Conceptual schematics depicting configurations among planetary-scale systems at different levels are established for each type.The PPEs free from TCs account for 38.6%of total events,and they tend to occur during April August and October,with the highest frequency observed in June.Corresponding circulation patterns during June August can be mainly categorized into two types,i.e.,summer-Ⅰ type and summer-Ⅱtype.In summer-Ⅰ type,the South Asian high takes the form of a zonal-belt type.The axis of upstream westerly jets is northwest-oriented.At the middle level,the westerly jets at midlatitudes extend zonally.Along the southern edge of the westerly jet,synoptic eddies steer cold air to penetrate southward;the Bay of Bengal(BOB) trough is located to the north;a shallow trough resides over coastal areas of western South China;and an intensified western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH) extends westward.The anomalous moisture is mainly contributed by horizontal advection via southwesterlies around 20°N and southeasterlies from the southern flange of the WPSH.Moisture convergence maximizes in coastal regions of eastern South China,which is the very place recording extreme precipitation.In summer-Ⅱ type,the South Asian high behaves as a western-center type.The BOB trough is much deeper,accompanied by a cyclone to its north;and a lower-level trough appears in northwestern parts of South China.Different to summer-Ⅰ type,moisture transport via southwesterlies is mostly responsible for the anomalous moisture in this type.The moisture convergence zones cover Guangdong,Guangxi,and Hainan,matching well with the areas of flooding.It is these set combinations among different systems at different levels that trigger PPEs in South China.  相似文献

青藏高原春季地表感热异常对西北地区东部降水变化的影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

周俊前  刘新  李伟平  朱陵晶  吴辉 《高原气象》2016,(4):845-853

利用青藏高原地区代表站点的实测地表热通量数据、JRA-55和NCEP再分析资料以及中国西北地区东部代表站点的降水资料等数据,通过波文比分析、奇异值分析(下称SVD)以及环流场的合成分析等方法,研究了青藏高原地区春季地表加热场异常与同期中国西北地区东部降水变率的关系,结果表明:(1)高原春季波文比值的变化反映出高原地表的非绝热加热中,春季感热加热的贡献较为显著,是高原春季地表加热的主要成分;(2)SVD分析表明,春季高原地表感热的异常与同期中国西北地区东部的降水存在负相关关系,春季高原地表感热增强的年份,中国西北地区东部的春季降水减少;(3)春季地表感热强-弱年的高原周边垂直环流偏差场表明,春季高原地表感热的年际异常增强(减弱)会引起高原周边地区的垂直环流场上升气流的减弱(增强);(4)相对涡度场、位势高度场、风场和水汽通量散度场的合成分析表明,春季高原地表感热偏强的年份,中国西北地区东部对流层高层以正涡度和气流的辐合运动异常为主,中低层以负涡度和辐散下沉运动异常为主,因此中国西北地区东部春季的水汽辐合由低层向高层逐渐减弱,不利于春季降水的发生。  相似文献   

2015年秋季我国气候异常及暖湿成因分析   总被引：5，自引：4，他引：1

2015年秋季,全国平均气温较常年同期偏高,降水量偏多明显,为1951年以来同期第三高值,我国总体呈现“暖湿”的特征,但南北方降水特征有明显差异。受水汽条件不同的影响,华南地区为持续性降水,而华北表现为阵性降水。诊断分析表明,华南的持续性降水偏多与超强厄尔尼诺和赤道印度洋偏暖的共同作用有关。赤道东太平洋和赤道印度洋地区海温偏高,加强了西太平洋地区低层的反气旋环流异常,造成西太平洋副热带高压偏强偏西。受副热带高压西侧异常南风的引导,来自南海和西太平洋的异常水汽向华南输送,造成了秋季华南持续降水偏多。而受中高纬度环流经向度偏大的影响,冷空气在华北活跃,配合东路和南路水汽的阶段性输送,则造成了华北的降水偏多。  相似文献   

2014—2016年超强厄尔尼诺事件的气候影响   总被引：7，自引：4，他引：3

2014—2016年,赤道中东太平洋发生了一次超强厄尔尼诺事件,此次事件于2015年11月达到峰值,12月开始衰减。其峰值强度超过了1951年以来另外两次超强厄尔尼诺事件（1982/1983年和1997/1998年）的强度,成为了1951年以来最强的事件。截至2016年4月,事件已持续20个月,也成为了1951年以来持续时间最长的厄尔尼诺事件。在这次事件的发展过程中,热带太平洋至东亚副热带地区的大气环流表现出了显著的响应特征：赤道中东太平洋对流活动加强,异常上升运动发展,而赤道西太平洋对流活动受抑制,异常下沉运动控制;菲律宾附近异常反气旋生成并发展加强,西太平洋副热带高压强度偏强、西伸脊点异常偏西,尤其2015年冬季副热带高压强度为1980年以来最强。与此同时,2015年秋、冬季,我国长江以南大部降水偏多,尤其冬季华南地区（广东、广西、海南三省区）平均降水量达历史第一,较常年偏多1.6倍以上。近期,超强厄尔尼诺正处于衰减阶段,但是考虑到热带印度洋暖海温的“接力”作用,厄尔尼诺事件对2016年春、夏季我国气候异常的影响可能仍将持续。  相似文献
