海温季节和年际变化对东亚区域气候变率模拟的影响

利用P-σ区域气候模式通过数值试验分析和探讨了海温季节变化和年际变化对东亚地区气候变率模拟的影响．数值分析试验结果发现，实际海温强迫下模拟的500hPa高度场年际变率较有或没有海温季节变化强迫模拟的结果在冬夏两季基本上是增强的，海温的年际变化对模拟500hPa高度场年际变率是尤为重要的．海温的季节变化强迫使得模拟的500hPa高度场在冬季增强，夏季减弱，且在高纬度地区变化幅度较大．海温的年际和季节变化使得东亚地区的500hPa温度在冬季升高，而夏季在低纬度地区的温度降低，其中在华南沿海、南海北部和盂加拉湾地区降低最甚，高纬地区变化不明显．此外，海温的季节和年际变化强迫对华南地区降水率差值的影响远比对长江中下游地区明显．

与热盐环流相关的海温异常对大西洋沿岸气候影响的诊断模拟研究

THC（热盐环流）的变化对全球气候的影响在大西洋地区最为显著,Manabe利用淡水强迫THC引起海温变化的信号也主要集中在大西洋,并呈dipole（耦极）模态分布．文中根据Manabe淡水强迫THC实验结果,给定北大西洋冷,南大西洋暖的海温距平分布代表弱THC,以相反海温距平分布代表强THC,利用大西洋这两种异常海温来驱动大气环流模式,研究这两种海温异常分布所代表的THC强弱变化对大西洋沿岸气候的影响,并且选出5个降水对THC变化敏感的地区,利用这些地区观测的降水资料拟合一个反映THC强弱变化的综合指数THCI,该综合指数能有效反映近100年THC变化的主要特征。     

FGCM-1.0耦合模式对热带印度洋偶极子的模拟

分析了由中国科学院大气物理研究所大气科学和地球流体力学数值模拟国家重点实验室(LASG)新近发展的耦合气候系统模式(FGCM-1.0)已积分300a的结果中40a模拟结果,通过与多种观测资料的对比分析,讨论了热带印度洋海温的气候变率特征,并对气候变率中存在的热带印度洋偶极子(IOD)进行了重点讨论.结果表明:该模式能够模拟出热带印度洋海表温度距平(SS-TA)气候变化的整体一致性和偶极性的特征,可以模拟出IOD出现的不规则年际变化特点;模拟的IOD表现为1至5a周期变化,其中具有统计性检验的周期集中在1至3a之间;模拟的IOD存在季节位相锁定,其主要发生在8至10月份,在10至12月份发展到盛期;该模式较好地模拟出IOD期间热带印度洋东西相反的海面高度距平分布以及表层洋流距平的分布;该模式能够再现IOD期间海表面风应力异常和海-气界面热通量异常的基本分布特征.但FGCM-1.0模式也存在一些不足之处,对热带印度洋SSTA整体一致性变化的模拟偏弱,对SSTA的偶极性变化模拟偏强;模式模拟的IOD的发生和发展要滞后观测约2至3个月.

用区域气候模式对1951——2000年我国夏季降水的模拟

为了检验区域气候模式对我国夏季降水的模拟能力,利用高分辨率区域气候模式RegCM3对1951?2000年的夏季中国区域降水进行了数值模拟。初始值及边界值取自美国国家环境预测中心(NCEP)和国家大气中心(NCAR)的全球再分析资料。每年的模拟积分时段从5月1日开始到9月1日结束, 但是每年降水量的分析只使用6?8月的模拟结果。主要结论如下: (1) 从全国平均总降水量看,该区域模式的模拟结果与观测比较接近,明显好于NCEP的降水资料,但模拟的降水量空间分布不理想; (2) 从降水量距平的空间分布来看,该区域模式对我国的东北夏季降水的模拟结果明显好于全国其他地区,黄河中下游最差; (3) 从时间分布上看,该模式模拟能力呈现出明显的年代际变化,20世纪60年代及90年代模拟较好,也比较稳定,70年代及80年代的模拟能力呈大起大落不稳定状态; (4) 模式未能模拟出70—80年代我国降水偏少的观测事实,说明模式对我国夏季降水年代际变率的模拟能力不足。

百余年上海冬夏季降水与太平洋海温的相关关系及其年代际差异

利用上海1873—2001年的冬季和夏季降水量与太平洋海温资料，通过计算上海冬季和夏季降水量与太平洋海温的同期和超前相关以及滑动相关系数，讨论上海冬季和夏季降水年代际变化趋势及其与太平洋海温场的相关关系在不同年代和不同空间区域上的显差异．分析发现，上海冬季和夏季的降水均存在明显的年代际阶段性变化，但总体雨量增加的趋势不明显，降水量和太平洋海温的相关关系在不同年代和不同空间区域上存在着显的差异，这种年代际相关关系的差异可能是造成用统计方法做短期气候预测时产生不确定性的主要原因之一．因此作为短期气候预测的常用预报因子之一的太平洋海温场在进行统计预报的应用过程中，适当地考虑在不同时间尺度上的相关差异，将有利于提高预测的准确性和减少统计预测方法中的不确定性．     

东亚干旱、半干旱区夏季降水的模拟研究

将IPCC第5次评估报告国际耦合模式比较计划中的18个气候模式模拟结果与美国气候预报中心的观测资料进行对比,系统评估了18个气候模式对东亚干旱、半干旱区过去58 a(1948-2005年)夏季降水变化的模拟能力,并根据分数值的大小选取模式G1和G2进行对比分析.结果表明,G1对东亚干旱、半干旱区夏季降水变化趋势的模拟与观测资料较为一致,其中中国西北地区的降水增加,而中国东北及蒙古地区的降水表现为减少的趋势,模拟的蒙古西部地区的降水变率偏小;G2的模拟结果与观测值相差较大,尤其中国东北、西北局地及蒙古地区夏季降水的变化趋势与观测值相反.合成分析结果表明,在季风偏强年,G1模拟的夏季降水变化与观测值具有较好的一致性,即中国东北和蒙古地区降水明显偏多,但在季风偏弱年,G1模拟的夏季降水变化与观测值相比偏差较大,尤其在中国东北及蒙古地区,模拟的降水变化比观测值明显偏弱.在RCP4.5和RCP8.5排放情景下,G1的模拟结果表明到2100年大部分东亚干旱、半干旱区夏季降水呈增多趋势,其中以中国西北南部及东北地区最为显著.     

1998年南海夏季风爆发过程数值模拟

用中尺度模式MM5(V3)对1998年南海（SCS）夏季风爆前后低纬环流的演变过程进行了数值模拟，共做了2个数值试验，分别是固定海温试验和日平均海温试验。结果表明，在两种海温强迫下，模式系统都能模拟出南海季风爆发前后区域环流的演变特征，并且进一步证实5月21日是1998年南海季风爆发日。日平均海温强迫模拟的降水中心位置和实况更接近，而两种海温强迫对环流和降水影响的差别主要表现在对中尺度特征的影响方面。     

Interannual variation of North China rainfall in rainy season and SSTs in the equatorial eastern Pacific

The rainfall in North China during rainy season （July and August （JA）） exhibits a strong interannual variability. In this study, the atmospheric circulation and SST anomalies associated with the interannual variation of JA North China rainfall are examined. It is found that on the interannual timescale, the JA North China rainfall is associated with significant SST anomalies in the equatorial eastern Pacific, and the North China rainfall and SST anomaly in the equatorial eastern Pacific correspond to the similar variation of the upper-level westerly jet stream over East Asia. A possible mechanism is proposed for the influence of the SST anomalies in the equatorial eastern Pacific on the North China rainfall.     

Analyses on the climate change responses over China under SRES B2 scenario using PRECIS

The global climate has been altered by the anthro- pogenic forcing due to greenhouse gases (GHGs) emis- sions. It is pointed out in the Third Assessments Report (TAR)[1] of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2001 that over the 20th centur…     

Tropospheric biennial oscillation of the western Pacific subtropical high and its relationships with the tropical SST and atmospheric circulation anomalies

There is the significant period of tropospheric biennial Oscillation(TBO)over East Asian monsoon region at the interannual timescales,which has the important influences on East China climate.Based on a set of reconstructed indices which describes the western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH)objectively,this paper focuses on the TBO component of WPSH,one of the key members of the East Asian Monsoon system,and its relationships with the tropical SST and atmospheric circulation anomalies.It is found that(1)As an important interannual component of WPSH,the time series of TBO has the obvious transition in the late1970s,and the variability of the WPSH’s TBO component is more significant after the late 1970s.(2)The time-lag correlations between the WPSH’s TBO and the tropical sea surface temperature(SST)anomalies in several key ocean regions are more significant and have longer correlation duration than the raw data.The response of the western boundary index to ENSO is earlier than the intensity index,and the time-lag correlations of them are up to maximum when lagging ENSO by 3–5 months and 5–6months,respectively.(3)In the course of the WPSH’s TBO cycle,the occurrence of the El Ni o-like anomaly in the tropical central-eastern Pacific in winter is always coupled with the weak East Asian winter monsoon,with the most significant enhancing phase of the WPSH’TBO.In contrast,the La Ni a-like anomaly in the central-eastern Pacific in winter is coupled with the strong East Asian winter monsoon,with the most weakening phase of the WPSH’s TBO.(4)The distribution of the tropical SST and atmospheric circulations anomalies are asymmetric in the TBO cycle.The WPSH’s TBO is more significant in the period of the developing El Ni o-like anomaly in central-eastern Pacific than in the period of the developing La Ni a-like anomaly.Therefore,during the period of developing El Ni o-like anomaly,more attention should be paid to the interannual component of TBO signal in the short-term climate prediction.     

Testing the ability of RIEMS2.0 to simulate multi-year precipitation and air temperature in China

RIEMS2.0 （Regional Integrated Environment Modeling System, Version 2.0） is now being developed starting from RIEMS1.0 by the Key Laboratory of Regional Climate Environment Research for Temperate East Asia, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. In order to test RIEMS2.0’s ability to simulate long-term climate and its changes, as well as provide a basis for further development and applications, we compare simulated precipitation and air temperature from 1980 to 2007 （simulation duration from Jan. 1, 1979 to Dec. 31, 2007） under different cumulus parameterization schemes with the observed data. The results show that RIEMS2.0 can reproduce the spatial distribution of precipitation and air temperature, but that the model overestimates precipitation with the rainfall center moving northwestward and underestimates air temperature for annual simulations. Annual and interannual variations in precipitation and air temperature for different climate subregions are well captured by the model. Further analysis of summer and winter simulations shows that precipitation is overestimated, except for the Jianghuai-Jiangnan subregions in the winter, and the air temperature bias in the summer is weaker than in the winter. There are larger biases for precipitation and air temperature in semiarid subregions. Anomalies in precipitation and air temperature are also well captured by the model. Although a similar distribution can be found between observed data and simulated results under different cumulus parameterization schemes, these show differences in intensity and location. In sum, RIEMS2.0 shows good stability and does well in simulating the long-term climate and its changes in China.     

亚洲地区沙尘和人为气溶胶的分布及直接气候效应

利用耦合气溶胶化学过程的高分辨率区域气候模式RegCM4,模拟研究了2000~2009年亚洲地区沙尘和3种人为气溶胶（硫酸盐、黑碳、有机碳）的时空分布和直接气候效应。结果表明,模拟的气溶胶光学厚度在沙尘源区附近较为准确,但在人为活动影响较大的地区偏小。4种气溶胶的综合作用引起大气层顶负的辐射强迫,从而造成了地表气温的下降。降水方面,冬夏两季气溶胶对模拟区域的影响都以降水减少为主,这与气溶胶增加了大气稳定度,减少了地表蒸发并产生了偏北风距平有关。沙尘和人为气溶胶各自都能引起气温的下降和降水的减少,两类气溶胶都能造成的偏北风距平对我国南方降水的减少有重要作用。在人类活动密集区,人为气溶胶引起的气候效应约占总的4种气溶胶气候效应的50%。     

Record-breaking SST over mid-North Atlantic and extreme high temperature over the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region of China in 2013

In July 2013, the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region of China experienced a persistent extreme high temperature,and the surface air temperature(SAT) over many areas of the region set a new record, which had a profound impact on people's lives. This study explored the possible mechanism for this extreme climate phenomenon. The results show that the sea surface temperature(SST) over the midNorth Atlantic in July 2013 was the warmest observed over the past 160 years. The strong anomaly of the SST connects to the East Asian upper level westerly and western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH) via the teleconnection wave train and further contributes to the SAT variability over the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region; this connection could be one possible mechanism for the formation of the recordbreaking extreme hot event(EHE) over the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region in July 2013. In addition, for the EHE over the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region, the role of the WPSH was generally emphasised. This study found that the variability of the upper level westerly over the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region is also an important climate factor impacting the SAT of the region. In particular, the record-breaking weakness of the upper level westerly corresponded to the record-breaking SAT over the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region in July 2013. These results indicate that the role of the upper level westerly should be emphasised in addition to the WPSH, according to both the variability in the summer air temperature and the EHE over the Jianghuai–Jiangnan region.     

海气系统异常与广东夏季旱涝的关系

利用广东境内分布较均匀的15个测站的降水资料,分析了热带东太平洋地区的海温和南海海温的变化对广东夏季(5～8月,下同)降水的影响,旱(涝)年的前期和同期的大气环流差异,以及广东夏季降水的周期性。结果表明,在ENSO年广东偏涝,而在ENSO次年则偏旱;热带东太平洋年平均△SST与广东夏季降水存在显著的反相关关系;旱年的前期(当年的2～3月)南海海温较涝年偏低;亚洲主要大气环流系统的位置和强度的变化趋势在旱年和涝年的前冬以及同期几乎是相反的;广东夏季降水存在准2～3年、6～7年、34年和11年振荡周期。     

Projected change in the relationship between East Asian summer rainfall and upper-tropospheric westerly jet

The authors analyzed the interannual variability in summer precipitation and the East Asian upper-tropospheric jet (EAJ) over East Asia under the Historical and Representative Concentration Pathways Scenarios (RCPs, including RCP4.5 and RCP8.5), using outputs of 17 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) coupled models. The analyzed results indicate that the models can reasonably reproduce relatively stronger interannual variability in both East Asian summer rainfall (EASR) and EAJ. These models can also capture the relationship between the rainfall anomaly along the East Asian rain belt and meridional displacement of the EAJ. Projected results suggest that the interannual variabilities in precipitation along the East Asian rain belt and in the EAJ are enhanced under the scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 in the 21st century, which is consistent with the previous studies. Furthermore, it is found that the relationship between the East Asian rainfall and the meridional displacement of the EAJ is projected to be stronger in the 21st century under the global warming scenarios, although there are appreciable discrepancies among the models.     

亚洲地区沙尘和人为气溶胶的分布及气候效应

利用耦合气溶胶化学过程的高分辨率区域气候模式RegCM4,模拟研究了2000~2009年亚洲地区沙尘和3种人为气溶胶（硫酸盐、黑碳、有机碳）的时空分布和直接气候效应。结果表明,模拟的气溶胶光学厚度在沙尘源区附近较为准确,但在人为活动影响较大的地区偏小。4种气溶胶的综合作用引起大气层顶负的辐射强迫,从而造成了地表气温的下降。降水方面,冬夏2季气溶胶对模拟区域的影响都以降水减少为主,这与气溶胶增加大气稳定度,减少地表蒸发并产生了偏北风距平有关。沙尘和人为气溶胶各自都能引起气温的下降和降水的减少,2类气溶胶都能造成的偏北风距平对我国南方降水的减少有重要作用。在人类活动密集区,人为气溶胶引起的气候效应约占总的4种气溶胶气候效应的50%。
