华北夏季降水年代际变化与东亚夏季风、大气环流异常

利用华北夏季降水资料和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对华北夏季降水、东亚夏季风年代际变化特征及大气环流异常进行研究,发现一些有意义的结果:华北夏季降水变化存在明显的8a、18a周期,东亚夏季风变化18a、28a周期性比较明显,二者年代际变化特征明显,但华北夏季降水变化和东亚夏季风变化的周期不完全一致.华北夏季降水量变化在60年代中期发生了突变,东亚夏季风变化在70年代中期发生了突变.华北夏季降水与东亚夏季风变化存在很好的相关关系,强夏季风年,华北夏季降水一般偏多,弱夏季风年,华北夏季降水一般偏少,但又不完全一致.东亚夏季风减弱是造成华北夏季降水减少的一个重要因素,但不是唯一因素,华北夏季降水减少还与环流异常密切相关.在地面上,青臧高原地区、华北地区气温下降造成华北低压系统活动减少,不利于降水.在850 hPa层上,东亚中纬度的西南季风和副热带高压南部的偏东风、西北部的西南风异常减弱,使得西南气流输送水汽很多难以到达30°N以北的地区,而副热带高压西部外围偏东南、偏南气流输送到华北地区的水汽也大量减少,水汽不足造成华北夏季降水偏少.在500 hPa高度场上,80年代欧亚遥相关型表现与50年代相反,变为欧洲( )、乌拉尔山(-)、中亚( )形势,这种环流使得乌拉尔山高压脊减弱,贝加尔湖至青藏高原高空槽变浅,纬向环流表现突出,不利于冷暖空气南北交换.同时在500 hPa气温场上,80年代,西伯利亚至青藏高原西北部的冷槽明显东移南压到蒙古至华北地区,锋区位于华北以东以南位置,使得华北地区冷暖空气交汇减少,降水也因此减少.华北夏季降水减少是由于东亚夏季风减弱和大气环流异常造成的.     

ENSO、NAO、IOD和PDO对珠江流域降水的影响研究

通过旋转经验正交分解法,将珠江流域季节和年降水分为时间分量和相应的空间特征,研究了珠江流域降水与厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)、北大西洋涛动(NAO)、印度洋偶极子(IOD)和太平洋10 a涛动(PDO)的遥相关关系。同时,通过分析季节和年降水发生天数及强度的变化与ENSO、NAO、IOD和PDO指数的关系,探讨了上述气候指标对降水的影响机制。研究结果表明:1 ENSO和NAO是导致珠江流域季节降水和年降水发生变化的主要因素。春季降水与NAO和PDO成正相关,与ENSO和IOD成负相关;夏季降水与NAO成负相关;秋季降水与ENSO和IOD成正相关;冬季降水与ENSO和NAO成正相关;年降水与NAO和IOD成正相关。2 ENSO、NAO、IOD和PDO对珠江流域季节和年降水的影响主要是通过改变降水天数与降水强度来达到的,同时这种影响具有季节的差异性。     

末次盛冰期南京降水记录中ENSO的演化

基于南京葫芦洞一支石笋TIMS-U系测年和纹层计数的交叉定年。获得丁末次盛冰期在24170～21222aBP时段石笋年纹层厚度的时间序列,主要反映了夏季风降水变率．小波分析揭示末次盛冰期连续3ka夏季风降水记录中厄尔尼诺一南方涛动（ENSO）周期和强度随时间的演化特征,该记录表明ENSO在末次盛冰期并非一直存在,有着高发期和平缓期。其爆发的频率和强度逐渐减弱。支持ENSO演化的“冰期阻尼效应”假说．     

东亚夏季风北边缘的确认

综合降水、风场以及假相当位温场,定义了表征东亚夏季风北边缘的新标准．这一定义能较客观地反映出夏季风推进的过程．其后,比较了4种表征东亚夏季风指数与夏季风边缘最北位置指数间的异同,证明后者与东亚夏季风指数之间有着不同的气候学意义:东亚夏季风指数集中反映的是东亚季风(30°N附近的长江中下游地区)主体特征;东亚夏季风边缘带作为它的边缘部分,集中反映出我国北方(35°N以北)夏季降水的年际和年代际变化特征．从计算得到的1961—2001年(41年)东亚夏季风边缘带最北位置序列中发现,在1977—1979年期间其最北位置发生了明显的年代际转变．构造的夏季风边缘最北位置指数序列和我国华北地区夏季降水相关较好,可以作为华北旱涝的一个指标．     

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。     

南海及周边地区晚春初夏降水变异关联主模态及其机理

基于近38年的观测资料,对南海及周边地区5、6份降水变异关联主模态及其机理进行了统计诊断分析。南海及周边地区5、6月份降水的第一关联主模态反映出5、6月的降水变异的空间分布相似,即中南半岛、南海及菲律宾海均为同号区,而在中国南方地区则与之反号;时间尺度上以年际变化为主。该模态与前期发生的ENSO事件有密切联系,在ENSO冷事件(暖事件)的强迫作用下,使得5、6月份在南海-菲律宾附近出现持续的异常气旋(反气旋),进而影响南海及周边地区的降水的持续异常。第二模态显示南海及周边地区5月、6月降水异常的空间分布大致反相,其中在南海中部及菲律宾海的降水异常与我国东部的降水负异常反号;时间尺度以年代际变化为主。该模态主要是受南海夏季风爆发时间出现年代际提前的影响所致,其中又以低频季内分量的年代际变异的作用更为重要。     

The influence of moderate ENSO on summer rainfall in eastern China and its comparison with strong ENSO

The 6 major ENSO events since 1979 are classified into the strong and moderate ENSO based on intensity. The composite analysis is performed to reveal the influence of ENSO on East Asian summer monsoon （EASM） and summer rainfall in eastern China. It is shown that the influence is changed with the seasonal cycle in summer, with a weaker influence in June and a stronger influence in August, indicating a long lagged effect of ENSO on EASM. Besides, the circulation and rainfall anomalies caused by the strong ENSO are also stronger with an earlier starting time, while the influence of the moderate ENSO is evident in August. The composite summer rainfall in eastern China for the moderate ENSO exhibits a northern rainfall pattern, which is totally different from the classical ENSO-type rainfall pattern. Based on the composite analysis, two moderate ENSO years with a similar intensity （i.e., 1995 and 2003） are compared. The result shows that, the response of EASM to the moderate ENSO during June and July is, to a certain degree, modulated by the circulation systems in mid-high latitudes of Eurasia and in the Southern Hemisphere, thereby inducing a different rainfall distribution in eastern China. In comparison with the strong ENSO in 1983, it is further revealed that, the strong ENSO plays a dominant role in summer rainfall anomalies in eastern China as well as in controlling the influence of the other factors on EASM. The strong ENSO is therefore different with the moderate ENSO.     

The spring soil moisture and the summer rainfall in eastern China

The relation between the soil moisture in spring and the rainfall in summer in eastern China is investi- gated. Results show that the summer rainfall in eastern China is closely related to the spring soil moisture in the area from North China to the lower reaches of Yangtze River (NCYR). When spring soil moisture anomalies over NCYR are positive, the summer precipitation exhibits positive anomalies in Northeast China and the lower reaches of Yangtze River, and negative anomalies in southern China and North China. The higher soil moisture over NCYR cools land surface and reduces the land-sea tem- perature gradient, which weakens East Asian summer monsoon. The western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) is located to the south and shifts westward, resulting in more rainfall in the lower reaches of Yangtze River and less in southern China and North China.     

Interannual variability of Mascarene high and Australian high and their influences on summer rainfall over East Asia

Based on the reanalysis data from NCEP/NCAR and other observational data,interannual variability of Mascarene high(MH) and Australian high(AH) from 1970 to 1999 is examined.It is shown that interannual variability of MH is dominated by the Antarctic oscillation(AAO),when the circumpolar low in the high southern latitudes deepens,the intensity of MH will be intensified.On the other hand,AH is correlated by AAO as well as EI Nino and South Oscillation(ENSO),the intensity of AH will be intensified when EI Nino occurs.Both correlation analysis and case study demonstrate that summer rainfall over East Asia is closely related to MH and AH.When MH intensifies from boreal spring to summer (i.e.from austral autumn to winter),there is more rainfall over regions from the Yangtze River valley to Japan,in contrast,less rainfall is found over southern China and western Pacific to the east of Taiwan,and most of regions in mid-latitudes of East Asia.Compared with MH,the effect of AH on summer rainfall in East Asia is limited to localized regions,there is more rainfall over southern China with the intensification of AH.The results in this study show that AAO is a strong signal on interannual timescale,which plays an important role in summer rainfall over East Asia.This discovery is of real importance to revealingt the physical mechanism of interannual variability of East Asian summer monsoon and prediction of summer precipitation in China.     

Global and China temperature changes associated with the inter-decadal variations of East Asian summer monsoon advances

The modern atmospheric observation and literatural historical drought-flood records were used to extract the inter-decadal signals of dry-wet modes in eastern China and reveal the possible relationship of global and China temperature changes associated with the East Asian summer monsoon advances.A climate pattern of "wet-north and dry-south" in eastern China and cool period in China and globe are associated with the strong summer monsoon that can advance further to the northernmost part in the East Asian monsoon region.On the contrary,a climate pattern of "dry-north and wet-south" in eastern China and a warm period in China and globe are associated with the weaker summer monsoon that only reaches the southern part in the region.An interdecadal oscillation with the timescale about 60 years was found dominating in both the dry-wet mode index series of the East Asian summer monsoon and the global temperature series after the secular climate states and long-term trend over inter-centennial timescales have been removed.     

Identifying the northernmost summer monsoon location in East Asia

An integrated index which can be used to indicate the advance of subtropical summer monsoon in East Asia has been proposed in this paper.The index was comhined by three variables including precipitation,wind and pseudo-equivalent potential tempera- ture.The northernmost summer monsoon location(NSML)was identified by using this index annually.It was found that the NSML ex- perienced an interdecadal shift in the period 1977—1979 based on the annual index analysis from 1961 to 2001.A comparison of the NSML with other four summer monsoon indices has also been made.The result showed that the NSML could well represent the interan- nual and interdecadal variability of summer monsoon precipitation in North China(beyond 35°N),while other four indices could well indi- cate the precipitation anomalies of East Asian summer monsoon along the Yangtze River valley(around 30°N).     

Impacts of intraseasonal oscillation on the onset and interannual variation of the Indian summer monsoon

The role of the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) on the seasonal and interannual variations of the Indian summer monsoon is investigated based on the analysis of observational data. It is shown that the ISO significantly contributes to the establishment of low-level westerlies during the monsoon onset and developing periods. The effect of the ISO on the annual cycle of the monsoon is through nonlinear eddy momentum transport. On the interannual timescale, the Indian summer monsoon rainfall exhibits a significant out-of-phase relationship with the ISO intensity over the Indian monsoon region. In strong ISO years it appears the weak monsoon when there is an abnormal high over the India subcontinent in the lower troposphere. In weak ISO years there exists an abnormal low and the strong monsoon appears.

Asian-Pacific Oscillation index and variation of East Asian summer monsoon over the past millennium

To study the long-term variation of the East Asian summer monsoon （EASM）, the Asian-Pacific Oscillation index （IAPO）, representing a zonal thermal contrast between Asia and the North Pacific, is reconstructed over the past millennium. During the Little Ice Age （LIA）, the variability of the reconstructed IAPO is closely linked to dry-wet anomalies in eastern China on the centennial scale. This correlation pattern is consistent with the observation during the current period, which suggests that the reconstructed IAPO may generally represent the centennial-scale variation of the EASM and rainfall anomalies over eastern China during the LIA.     

2003年东亚夏季风活动的特点

利用2003年国家气象中心提供的再分析资料以及台站降水资料，诊断分析了2003我国东部地区汛期降水和东亚夏季风的活动特点，并对二者之间的联系进行讨论。结果表明：(1)2003年南海夏季风于5月第5候在南海南部建立。6月第1候全面爆发，比常年偏晚，南海夏季风强度也比常年偏弱；(2)该年夏季，副热带高压的一个显著特点是强度强、位置偏西，其中从6月下旬至7月中旬，副热带高压的位置稳定少变，其北脊线位25oN附近，且副高位置偏西，这导致了长江以南的犬部分地区高温少雨。这个阶段副热带高压西侧的南风气流将南海地区的水汽源源不断地输送到淮河流域，是淮河流域强降水过程水汽主要来源。
