    • NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE ROLE OF VORTICAL AND DIVERGENT COMPONENTS OF WIND STRESS IN ENSO CYCLE

      2001, 24(4):447-457.

      Abstract (1260) HTML (0) PDF 1.05 M (2294) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The monthly mean FSU (Florida State University) wind stress data for the period 1960-1991 are decomposed into a vortical and a divergent component with each of which to force the model ocean in the context of a 2 layer tropical Pacific model. Evidence suggests that for the seasonal variation the ocean forcing does not produce a realistic cold tongue using either of the components and the tongue will not be effectively improved in its intensity and pattern even if the components of the wind stress are doubled or halved. The utilization of climatic mean wind stress (no composition is done of the wind stress) that contains its seasonal variation will lead to a realistic SST distribution. The interannual anomaly of the vortical (divergent) component superimposed on the mean climatological part tends to force the ocean to intense SSTA oscillation marked by noticeable ENSO periods (feeble SSTA with higher oscillation frequency for obscure ENSO periods). These results indicate that the roles of the two components of wind stress do differ from each other in the genesis of SST variation on a seasonal and an interannual basis. That is,a realistic cold tongue pattern follows under the joint effects on the model ocean of the two components of wind stress while rational El Nino/La Nina phenomena result from the forcing of an anomalous vortical component of the wind stress. Moreover,the divergent component is innegligible in generating a mean climatic condition of the ocean sector but of less importance compared to the vortical component in the ENSO development.

    • AN INDEX OF CHINA WINTER TEMPERATURE ANOMALY: EAST ASIAN REGIONAL WESTERLY INDEX

      2001, 24(4):458-466.

      Abstract (1421) HTML (0) PDF 464.20 K (2255) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The typical spatial pattern,which can represent the variation of winter air temperature in China,is found by EOF analysis of winter air temperature.Based on the investigations on the traditional winter monsoon indices,east Asian regional westerly index (IEARW) is proposed to reflect the atmospheric general circulation anomalies associated with the anomalous winter temperature in China.The examination of IEARW shows that it could describe the main feature of winter temperature anomaly,and its variation is investigated.

      Abstract (1034) HTML (0) PDF 317.55 K (2146) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Based on GISST sea ice extent data set of Hadley center,UK and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data as well as surface air temperature and rainfall data from 160 stations in China, the relationship among spring sea ice extent change in Greenland and regional surface air temperature as well as rainfall during summer in China is investigated.Results indicate that spring Greenland sea ice extent is positively correlated with surface air temperature in between the mid low reaches of Huanghe River and the Yangtze River during summer as well as rainfall in North China and Southwest China in August,whereas is negatively correlated with precipitation around mid up valleys of Huanghe River in June.In addition, remarkable changes of NH general circulation associated with spring Greenland sea ice anomalies make clear that the relationship between sea ice and surface air temperature as well as rainfall in China has corresponding background of general circulation change.

    • RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPRING SEA-LEVEL PRESSURE INDEX AND CHINA SUMMER RAINFALL

      2001, 24(4):491-497.

      Abstract (1264) HTML (0) PDF 317.84 K (2065) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Based on SVD,the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and summer rainfall data over China are used to study the relationship between SLP and rainfall. Results show that the atmospheric circulation anomaly in spring is related to droutght/flood in summer in the middle lower reaches of the Yangtze River.Spring Meridional Pressure Index(IMP)as well as Zonal Pressure Index(IZP) are formed. The results indicate that IMPandIZPhave well correlation with the summer rainfall in the middle lower reaches of the Yangtze River.When IMPorIZP is strong (weak) the rainfall in the area is usually more(less) than the mean value;South China is on the contrary. So IMP and IZP are indicative to summer rainfall forecast.

    • TURBULENT FEATURES NEAR THE SURFACE OVER THE YANGTZE DELTA

      2001, 24(4):536-544.

      Abstract (1287) HTML (0) PDF 359.60 K (2123) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In the context of turbulent observations in Changshu over the Yangtze delta from May to September in 1999, research is done for daily changes of sensible, latent heat and momentum flux, turbulence intensity and spectral pattern. Results suggest that various flux daily patterns are the same as ordinary ones: latent heat flux is dominant during daytime with much smaller sensible heat flux than latent one, and moreover, daily turbulence variation has close relationship with a weather condition in such a way that it is much stronger in sunny than cloudy sky. Evidence from analyzing turbulence intensity and spectral pattern indicate that turbulence intensity in three directions approaches to that over a typical flat underlying surface in Changshu at near neutral stratification ; for other cases, the relationship between normalized standard deviation and stability is in conformity with power 1/3 in vertical direction but not so good in horizontal direction, particularly in stable stratification data dots disperse greatly; spectral patterns correspond to power -2/3 in high frequency for wind speed of three directions; peak frequency of speed spectral pattern is in correspondence with that of typical flat underlay surface in horizontal and vertical direction.Total transportation coefficients C D and C H have tight relationship with stability:CD, CH will decrease with increasement of stability.
