基于2013年8月中国中东部地区持续高温的延伸期稳定分量提取及改进研究

基于2013年8月中国中东部地区持续高温及其减弱过程, 利用美国国家环境预报中心/美国国家大气研究中心逐日平均的500 hPa高度场、风场再分析资料和美国国家海洋和大气管理局的海温重建扩展资料进行分析, 通过前期海温强迫相似年的选取方法以及带通滤波和经验正交函数分解等方法提取出10–30 d的稳定分量, 并通过对稳定分量的诊断分析探究了这次持续高温及其减弱过程的维持机制. 研究发现: 通过选取与个例前期海温强迫最相似的30年来代替常规的气候态30 年(1981–2010 年), 所提取的气候态稳定分量所占的比重变化不大, 稍有减弱, 而异常型稳定分量占的比重显著性提高, 且其所刻画的影响异常事件的天气系统强度及稳定性明显提高, 能够更加清晰地显示延伸期天气过程的维持机制. 这表明在提取稳定分量时考虑前期的海温强迫作用是非常有必要的. 同时, 通过对延伸期稳定分量的分析, 表明此次持续高温及减退过程主要受到北极涛动、亚洲大陆中高纬纬向环流形势和西太平洋副热带高压(西太副高)强度、位置的共同影响.     

The two annual northward jumps of the West Pacific Subtropical High and their relationship with summer rainfall in Eastern China under global warming

The two northward jumps of summer West Pacific Subtropical High （WPSH） are defined based on the pentad-scale ridge data of the WPSH ridge in 1951 to 2012. The times of the northward jumps are found to have obvious inter-annual and decadal characteristics, i.e., the occurrence of the first northward jump of WPSH shows a ＂consistently early-consistently late＂ decadal pattern, with the transition around 1980; the occurrence of the second northward jump of WPSH shows a ＂consistently late-consistently early-consistently late＂ decadal pattern, with the transitions about 1955 and 1978, respec- tively, which is consistent with global warming. In the meantime, the times of the two northward jumps not only have a good correspondence to the beginning and ending dates of the rainy season, but also greatly influence the position of the main rain belt in Eastern China. When the first northward jump occurs early, the main rain belt is located from just north of 30~ N to the south of North China, while the opposite situation appears when the first jump occurs late. When the second jump occurs early, more rain falls over North China and South China, but less falls in the Yangtze River region, while the opposite situation appears when the second jump occurs late. In the four cases when abnormalities occur in the same year as early or late northward jumps, the position of the main rain belt can be considered as a superposition of isolated abnormal effects of the two northward jumps. Moreover, the prophase and synchronous forces of the sea surface temperature in the Pacific has great influence on the times of the northward jumps, and the driving forces of the two jumps differ.
