在三维完全弹性冰雹云参数化模式动力框架和二维面对称分档模式(微物理过程分档处理)的基础上,建立粒子全分档的三维对流云分档模式.利用建立的分档模式对2000年6月29日美国堪萨斯州的一次超级单体风暴进行了模拟,并将模拟结果与三维冰雹云参数化模式的模拟结果作了对比.结果表明:分档模式可以较好地模拟出强对流云中两支上升气流,模拟得到的最大上升气流速度大于参数化模式;分档模式模拟得到的雷达回波强度、顶高和回波宽度更接近实测.  相似文献

利用1983年7月—2001年9月ISCCP D2云的月平均资料,针对西北地区15种不同类型云的分布特征进行了分析,给出了中、低云量之和以及高云量在3个气候子区的多年变化趋势,初步探讨了其形成机制。结果表明:水层云、冰层云、水雨层云、冰雨层云和深对流云的光学厚度和云水路径值最大;水层云主要出现在天山山区、北疆地区和陕西南部,冰层云主要出现在北疆地区,水雨层云、冰雨层云和深对流云以及水高层云、冰高层云、卷层云的云量高值区在天山—昆仑山—祁连山一带以及陕南和/或陇南地区,因此上述地区也是有利于人工增水作业的地区。近20年中,高云量在3个气候区都呈明显下降趋势,中、低云量之和则呈上升趋势。西北地区云与地气系统之间可能存在这样一个过程:地面气温的升高,促使地面蒸发加剧,从而导致中、低云量增多而使降水增多,同时高云云量减少。  相似文献   

A sensitivity of squall-line intensity to environmental static stability under various shear and moisture conditions   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Tetsuya Takemi   《Atmospheric Research》2007,84(4):374-389

Squall lines develop in various climate regions having diverse environmental profiles of wind shear, moisture, and temperature. In order to explore the sensitivity of squall lines to these environmental profiles, we have performed an extensive set of numerical simulations under various shear and moisture conditions in midlatitude-continental and tropical–oceanic temperature environments. From the results of the sensitivity simulations and the analyses of the environmental parameters, it is found that the static stability in a convectively unstable layer is of primary importance in determining the strength of squall lines. Under temperature environments having the same static stability, convective available potential energy (CAPE) and precipitable water content (PWC) well describe the squall-line intensity. Vertical shear also plays an important role in determining the squall-line structure as well as the intensity through the interaction with surface cold pool. The combination of the static stability in a convectively unstable layer, CAPE, and PWC should be examined in diagnosing the intensity of squall lines that develop with an optimal shear for their environment.  相似文献

利用常规的天气图、卫星云图和物理量诊断对2004年春季两次持续性增温过程及降水天气进行诊断分析,结果表明:两次增温过程的降水强度、范围和落区等差异显著。前者造成了陕西历史上最早的暴雨过程,并有冰雹相伴;后者则为一般性降水。在春季降水过程中,当南海和菲律宾附近有热带低压云系存在时,对陕西的强降水有增幅作用;来自孟加拉湾700 hPa的偏西南急流和来自南海850 hPa的偏东南急流直伸到陕西的位置决定强降水的落区。700 hPa正涡度中心与垂直运动的上升区配合很好,涡度随着暴雨的临近明显增大,正涡度的增长,有利于对流的发展。  相似文献   

A discussion on models of thermals     

Robert A. Pearson 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1980,118(2):913-934

For a thermal starting from rest, the scales of motion consistent with the initial conditions are given. An alternative time scale based on the motion of the thermal is derived. The anticipated similarity solutions for thermals are summarised and possible qualitative differences between solutions are given. Within this consistent framework previously published laboratory and numerical models of thermals are discussed. Reasons why numerical models have not rigorously demonstrated the existence of a self-similarity solution are considered. Comparisons of all available results show that a single similarity solution valid for all thermals does not exist.  相似文献   

The dynamical and liquid water structure of the small cumulus as determined from its environment     

James W. Telford  Peter B. Wagner 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1980,118(2):935-952

This paper examines the evidence for the model of a small cumulus cloud represented as a quasi static but turbulent entity, growing on the upshear side and decaying on the downshear side. While the air just outside the cloudy outline is, on average, stationary relative to the embedding airmass, there is a slight flow, upwards and forward as though the updraft has induced upward motion in the clear air outside the cloud, on the growing side. On the decaying side the motion is downwards and away from the cloud.This is a flow pattern which is not consistent with the air flowing around the cloud as it moves forward but it agrees well with the picture given. Decayed remnants of cloud are found throughout the air previously occupied by the cloud. The cloud outline moves through the embedding air at a velocity which is almost as large as the relative motion of the subcloud feeding airflow (which is almost free from internal wind shear in strong convection).The mixing of dry air from above the inversion yields the observed diluted liquid water content in small cumuli, if such mixing is allowed to proceed until the cloud density equals that of the surrounding air. Quantitative conditions relating the liquid water to inversion temperature and moisture changes, and to the stability of the environment are presented. The strong vertical mixing from the top of the cloud downwards is important to microphysical processes.  相似文献   

On mixing processes in cumulus clouds     

J. Warner 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1980,119(4):809-815

An examination is made of the hypothesis that internal cloud properties are determined by the mixing of dry air from above the cloud top and cloud base air in such a way that the mixture is neutrally buoyant with respect to the clear air environment at each level. It is concluded that the resulting mixture is much drier than is actually observed. Comments are made about observed cloud properties which need to be taken into account in any model of the mixing process.  相似文献   

A new aspect of condensation theory     

James W. Telford  Steven K. Chai 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1980,118(2):720-742

This paper examines the effects of the mixing of dry air into a cloud top from the point of view of the droplet spectra. It is shown theoretically that the resulting cycling of the air up and down in the cloud, as seems to be the essential mechanism by which cumuli have been diluted to their observed liquid water mixing ratio, can double the largest drop radius and generate cloud parcels containing drops of all sizes up to this maximum. These changes in the droplet distribution with size occur by a process which is not greatly influenced by the cloud condensation nuclei or the details of droplet growth since maritime like spectra can develop in continental type cumuli. It shows that large numbers of cloud condensation nuclei should not have much effect in inhibiting the rainforming process by reducing coalescence growth. On the contrary, the controlling parameters which determine precipitation efficiency and times seem to be those which control the mixing.  相似文献

The coalescence of water drops II. The coalescence problem and coalescence efficiency     

Nitza Arbel  Zev Levin 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1977,115(4):895-914

By the use of the model of approaching drops (Arbel and Levin, 1977) the coalescence efficiencies of drops are computed. It is found that for interactions of drops at their terminal velocities the coalescence depends both on the size of the large drop and on the size ratio of the interacting drops in agreement with the experimental results of Whelpdale and List (1971) and Levin and Machnes (1977).The results were found to be sensitive to the assumption of the drops deformation and to the critical separation distance. This distance is defined as the distance at which the drops begin to merge. The variations of the coalescence efficiency with these parameters is discussed.Appendix: List of symbols D distance between the deformed surfaces of the drops - D _o initial value ofD - D _s stop distance, the distance at which the impact velocity vanishes - D _c critical coalescence distance - E collection efficiency - E ₁ collision efficiency - E ₂ coalescence efficiency - E _2R coalescence efficiency for collisions with stationary targets - F _c centrifugal force - p ratio of the radii of the interacting drops - r _o initial distance between drops' centers - R _L radius of larger drop - R _s radius of smaller drop - R _D radius of deformation - v approach velocity of two deformed surfaces - v _o initial value ofv - V _i impact velocity (given negative sign when drops approach each other) - V _c critical impact velocity - W _i velocity of the smaller drop at infinity for it to reachD _o with velocityv _o - x _i impact distance, the distance between the trajectories of the two drops - x _c critical impact distance for coalescence -  average critical impact distance for coalescence - X _c critical impact distance for collisions - coefficient of deformation given in equation 1 - _i impact angle defined byWhelpdale andList (1971) given also inArbel andLevin (1977) - coefficient of deformation given in equation 2 - viscosity of air - _i impact angle used inArbel andLevin (1977) and here - _c critical angle for coalescence - average critical angle for coalescence On sabbatical leave (1976–77) from the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  相似文献
