Abstract

The potential influence of a developing La Niña on Arctic sea-ice annual variability is investigated using both observational data and an atmospheric general circulation model. It is found that during the developing phase of an eastern Pacific (EP) La Niña event in June, July, and August (JJA) and September, October, and November (SON), the sea-ice concentration (SIC) over the Barents–Kara Seas declines more than 15%. The local atmospheric circulation pattern associated with the EP La Niña is characterized as a weak decrease in geopotential height over the Barents–Kara Seas, combined with an anticyclone in the North Atlantic. The corresponding southerly winds push warm waters northward into the key sea-ice reduction region and directly accelerate sea-ice melt. Meanwhile, the abundant moisture contained in the lower troposphere is transported into the Arctic region by winds resulting from the local barotropic structure. The humid atmosphere contributes to both net shortwave and longwave radiation and thus indirectly accelerates the decline in sea ice. Simulations by the European Centre Hamburg Model, version 5.4, are forced by observed sea surface temperature anomalies associated with EP La Niña events. The results of the simulations capture the North Atlantic anticyclone and reproduce the moisture transport, which supports the premise that an EP La Niña plays a crucial role in sea-ice reduction over the Barents–Kara sector from the perspective of atmospheric circulation and net surface heat flux.  相似文献

Using radiosonde data and other related observations in the TOGA-COARE IOP(from November 1,1992 to February 28,1993),the microwave attenuation of non-precipitating clouds is investigated based on microwave radiative transfer model(MRTM) at the specific frequencies of 6.8,10.65,13.9,19.35,22.235,37.0,85.5 and 90.0 GHz.Besides,utilizing the data of the airborne radar and radiometer at 13.8 GHz in the IOP(Intensive Observation Period),vertical structure models for different types of precipitating clouds are obtained,and also the microwave attenuation of precipitating cloud is studied.Some statistical characteristics of 13.8 GHz microwave path integrated attenuation for stratiform and convective precipitating clouds are presented.The results given here are valuable for the spaceborne microwave remote sensing of precipitation,and the cloud and precipitation attenuation corrections in the spaceborne microwave remote sensing of earth surface over tropical ocean area.  相似文献   

Hydrodynamic effect of the regulation project of Yangtze River deepwater channel downstream of Nanjing     

杨东利  窦希萍  张新周  罗小峰 《中国海洋工程》2013,27(6):767-779

A two-dimensional flow numerical model of the tidal reaches, which total length is more than 700 km, is established from Datong to the Yangtze River estuary. The tidal levels, velocities, diversion ratios and dynamic axes before and after the separate regulation of each reach and combined regulation of all reaches are obtained. The comparative analysis shows that the regulation project of a separate reach basically has no impact on velocity distributions and variations of diversion ratios of upper and lower reaches, the variations of dynamic axes are only within the local scope of the project. The regulation project of a separate reach also has less impact on the water level in the lower adjacent reaches, but will make the water levels in the upper reaches rise. After the implementation of the regulation projects for all reaches, the rise of water level in the upstream reaches will have a cumulative impact.  相似文献   

海底孔内水合物观测系统与钻井实施     

宁伏龙  蒋国盛  吴翔  窦斌  张凌 《海洋地质译丛》2008,(4):31-35

通过耦合布设海底表面和孔内水合物观测系统获取物理、化学、微生物等数据是了解掌握海洋水合物环境动态变化、碳循环规律和资源开发技术的有效手段,据此初步提出了一套海底孔内水合物观测系统,并指出了系统的关键技术难点。而在钻井布设该孔内观测系统时,要注意防止井内安全事故的发生,充分评估安放位置处含水合物地层的地质力学稳定性并采取适当的钻井和完井方式稳定或强化含水合物地层以支撑孔内观察仪器,实现孔内长期监测。最后讨论了在我国南海实施孔内水合物观测系统的必要性,并提出了初步想法。  相似文献   

湖南盛夏两次连续性暴雨过程对比分析   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

利用常规气象观测资料和NECP的1°×1°再分析资料,从暴雨特征、天气背景和暴雨发生的动力、水汽、热力条件及非地转湿Q矢量等方面对2010年7月8—13日和2012年7月12—19日湖南两次大范围暴雨天气过程进行对比分析,并对暴雨造成的洪涝灾害成因进行阐述。结果表明：湖南两次暴雨过程的环流形势和水汽输送路径均存在一定程度的相似性;东北低涡和低层切变线是造成两次持续性暴雨过程的主要影响系统;850 hPa的θse高值区、垂直上升速度中心及湿Q矢量负值区与暴雨落区有较好的对应关系,对暴雨预报有一定的指示作用。第二次暴雨过程冷空气势力比第一次暴雨过程更强,低层切变线在湘北及湘中偏南地区摆动,使较强水汽辐合在中低层维持了5 d,因此第二次暴雨过程影响范围更广且持续时间更长。而第一次暴雨过程副热带高压更强盛,高、低空急流耦合作用更明显,垂直上升气流更强,高能高湿更易触发短时强降水;同时由于第一次暴雨过程开始前湖南全省降雨已经明显偏多,且强降雨带集中在湘北地区,加之受灾最严重的地区又属于地质灾害多发区,从而更易导致滑坡、崩塌和泥石流的发生。  相似文献

We propose a high-contrast coronagraph for direct imaging of young Jupiter-like planets orbiting nearby bright stars. The coronagraph employs a steptransmission filter in which the intensity is apodized with a finite number of steps with identical transmission in each step. It should be installed on a large ground-based telescope equipped with a state-of-the-art adaptive optics system. In this case, contrast ratios around 10-6 should be accessible within 0.1 arcsec of the central star. In recent progress, a...  相似文献
