Helicity Patterns of the Active Regions Connected by Transequatorial Loops     

Jie Chen  Shudong Bao  Hongqi Zhang 《Solar physics》2007,242(1-2):65-85

Using photospheric vector magnetograms of the Huairou Solar Observing Station and coronal X-ray images from the Yohkoh Soft X-Ray Telescope, we calculate the helicity patterns of 43 pairs of active regions and the chirality of 50 pairs of opposite magnetic polarity regions that are connected by transequatorial loops (TLs). To make the results more convincing, two helicity proxies including the local current helicity h _c and the force-free factor α _best are computed. The results, which are similar for both parameters, are as follows: (1) Current helicity of the active regions pairs connected by transequatorial loops have no obvious regularity: About 50% of the active region pairs carry the same current helicity sign and about 50% of them have the opposite. (2) If we consider the magnetic polarity pairs connected by the TLs, the result is almost the same as that for the active region pairs, with a little more than half of them showing the same chirality. We also make linear force-free extrapolations for 33 TLs and determine their force-free parameter α by comparing extrapolated field lines to X-ray images of the TLs. Out of the 19 cases when the footpoints of the TLs have the same current helicity sign, we find that the sign of α of the TLs is the same as the sign of the current helicity in the footpoints in 12 cases, whereas it is of opposite sign in 4 cases, and in 3 cases the TLs were found to be potential.  相似文献

利用江西省93个国家气象观测站降水量资料,对2014年ECMWF集合预报降水统计量进行逐6 h和24 h晴雨检验、降水分级检验及区域性暴雨检验。结果表明:1)10%、25%、Mode、融合、最小值在晴雨预报准确率方面较控制预报更有参考价值。2)对于全年降水分级检验,10%、25%、Mode、融合、最小值这5个统计量在小雨的预报方面较控制预报更有参考价值;中位数、概率对中雨的ETS评分要略高于控制预报;90%、75%、概率对大雨预报比控制预报好。对于暴雨预报,最大值、90%、融合比控制预报好;融合、最大值对大暴雨落区的指示意义不大,但对大暴雨量级降水的可能性可以供预报员参考。3)对于区域性暴雨预报,90%、融合、最大值的预报技巧比控制预报高,最大值虽然空报较严重,但对降水量级有一定的指示意义。集合预报各统计量对于强降水过程爆发或发展阶段的预报效果不如降水过程成熟期或末期好。  相似文献

The Remote Sensing Image Matching Algorithm Based on the Normalized Cross-Correlation and SIFT   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Xingxing Shen  Wenxing Bao 《Journal of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing》2014,42(2):417-422

SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) is one of the most robust and widely used image matching algorithms based on local features. However, its computational complexity is high. In order to reduce the matching time, an improved feature matching algorithm is proposed in this paper under the premise of stable registration accuracy. This paper proposed a normalized cross-correlation with SIFT combination of remote sensing image matching algorithm. The basic idea of the algorithm is performing the space geometry transformation of the input image with reference to the base image. Then the normalized cross-correlation captures the relevant part of the remote sensing images. By this way, we can reduce the matching range. So some unnecessary calculations are properly omitted. By utilizing the SIFT algorithm, we match the preprocessed remote sensing images, and get the registration points. This can shorten the matching time and improve the matching accuracy. Its robustness is increased correspondingly. The experimental results show that the proposed Normalized cross-correlation plus SIFT algorithm is more rapid than the standard SIFT algorithm while the performance is favorably compared to the standard SIFT algorithm when matching among structured scene images. The experiment results confirm the feasibility of our methods.  相似文献

A six hundred-year annual minimum temperature history for the central Tibetan Plateau derived from tree-ring width series   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Minhui He  Bao Yang  Nina M. Datsenko 《Climate Dynamics》2014,43(3-4):641-655

The recent unprecedented warming found in different regions has aroused much attention in the past years. How temperature has really changed on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) remains unknown since very limited high-resolution temperature series can be found over this region, where large areas of snow and ice exist. Herein, we develop two Juniperus tibetica Kom. tree-ring width chronologies from different elevations. We found that the two tree-ring series only share high-frequency variability. Correlation, response function and partial correlation analysis indicate that prior year annual (January–December) minimum temperature is most responsible for the higher belt juniper radial growth, while more or less precipitation signal is contained by the tree-ring width chronology at the lower belt and is thus excluded from further analysis. The tree growth-climate model accounted for 40 % of the total variance in actual temperature during the common period 1957–2010. The detected temperature signal is further robustly verified by other results. Consequently, a six century long annual minimum temperature history was firstly recovered for the Yushu region, central TP. Interestingly, the rapid warming trend during the past five decades is identified as a significant cold phase in the context of the past 600 years. The recovered temperature series reflects low-frequency variability consistent with other temperature reconstructions over the whole TP region. Furthermore, the present recovered temperature series is associated with the Asian monsoon strength on decadal to multidecadal scales over the past 600 years.  相似文献   

Drought variability at the northern fringe of the Asian summer monsoon region over the past millennia   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

The northern fringe of the Asian summer monsoon region (NASM) in China refers to the most northwestern extent of the Asian summer monsoon. Understanding the characteristics and underlying mechanisms of drought variability at long and short time-scales in the NASM region is of great importance, because present and future water shortages are of great concern. Here, we used newly developed and existing tree-ring, historical documentary and instrumental data available for the region to identify spatial and temporal patterns, and possible mechanisms of drought variability, over the past two millennia. We found that drought variations were roughly consistent in the western (the Qilian Mountains and Hexi Corridor) and eastern (the Great Bend of the Yellow River, referred to as GBYR) parts of the NASM on decadal to centennial timescales. We also identified the spatial extent of typical multi-decadal GBYR drought events based on historical dryness/wetness data and the Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It was found that the two periods of drought, in AD 1625–1644 and 1975–1999, exhibited similar patterns: specifically, a wet west and a dry east in the NASM. Spatial characteristics of wetness and dryness were also broadly similar over these two periods, such that when drought occurred in the Karakoram Mountains, western Tianshan Mountains, the Pamirs, Mongolia, most of East Asia, the eastern Himalayas and Southeast Asia, a wet climate dominated in most parts of the Indian subcontinent. We suggest that the warm temperature anomalies in the tropical Pacific might have been mainly responsible for the recent 1975–1999 drought. Possible causes of the drought of 1625–1644 were the combined effects of the weakened Asian summer monsoon and an associated southward shift of the Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone. These changes occurred due to a combination of Tibetan Plateau cooling together with more general Northern Hemisphere cooling, rather than being solely due to changes in the sea surface temperature of the tropical Pacific. Our results provide a benchmark for comparing and validating paleo-simulations from general circulation model of the variability of the Asian summer monsoon at decadal to centennial timescales.  相似文献   

Distinct quasi-biweekly features of the subtropical East Asian monsoon during early and late summers   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Using Global Precipitation Climatology Project daily rainfall and ERA interim reanalysis data, we investigate the distinct characteristic of quasi-biweekly variation (QBV: 12–20 days) over East Asia (EA) during early (June 10–July 20) and late (July 21–August 31) summer. The QBV maximum variance is found over the core region of EA (30°–40°N, 110°–130°E), which includes eastern China (lower reaches of the Yellow, Huaihe, and Yangtze rivers) and the Korean Peninsula. At both its peak wet and dry phases, QBV over the core region has a baroclinic structure, but with different spatial distributions, different lower-level prevalent wind anomalies, and different upper-level major circulation anomalies in the two subseasons. Meanwhile, the two subseasons have different propagating tracks prior to reaching the peak phase, and different precursors associated with the local genesis of QBV. Furthermore, during the transition from the peak dry to peak wet phase of QBV, the major monsoon circulations have different behaviors that tropical monsoon trough extends eastward in early summer but retreats westward in late summer and the South Asia high (SAH) and western North Pacific (WNP) subtropical high move toward (away from) each other in early (late) summer. The abrupt change of mean state in mid to late July, which includes the northward migration of westerly jet, SAH and WNP, and the weakening and broken of westerly jet, is considered the root cause of the change in behavior of QBV. Finally, we indicate that the tropical monsoon trough and midlatitude westerly jet are possible sources of QBV over subtropical EA in both subseasons and provide useful guidance for 2–3 week predictions over EA.  相似文献
