Abstract:
The characteristics of meridional wave train in teleconnection in winter and summer are investigated by using mean westerly profile data. The numerical analysis shows the distinct seasonal characteristics of teleconnection wave train due to seasonal differences between the mean westerly profile in winter and that in summer, i.e. there are distinct seasonal differences in the propagation of rays, trapping zone, variation of wave refractive index with latitude, resonant features of meridional wave train forced by large scale topography and maritime heat source. In this paper, the correlations between large scale topography, heating source and characteristics of meridional wave train in teleconnection are also discussed.

Experimental Modeling for the Impact of Local Air Pollution by the Effluent

1991, 2(3): 234-241.

[FullText](3622) [PDF 409KB](1738)

Abstract:
An experimental modeling study executed in NJU meteorological wind tunnel was described in this paper. Atmospheric pollution affected by the wast gas from a tower located at downtown of a big city has been simulated. By means of measuring the flow field and flow visualization and dispersion test by releasing the tracer, some conclusions concerning the impact of atmospheric pollution on the local environment have been obtained. Based on the experimental data of the dispersion test, a modificative dispersion model has developed in order to explore the actual approach to predict the air pollutant concentration and its distributions. The results show that fluid modeling in wind tunnel is effective and practical method

The Features of the Subtropical Monsoon Circulation Cell and Its Relationship with Summer Circulation over East-Asia

1991, 2(3): 242-247.

[FullText](3760) [PDF 413KB](1819)

Abstract:
In this paper, using the daily grid data of the ECMWF/WMO, we made the composite analysis on 12 mediumrange variation processes of the subtropical high over the western Pacific in summer during 1980—1983. It is found that there is the subtropical monsoon circulation cell over East-Asia. We also discussed its features. The results show that the subtropical monsoon circulation cell is formed through the following process: when one divergent updraft driven by the condensation heating of the continental monsoon rain belt in East-Asia was moving southward, it met another one moving northward from Nanhai sea, and then these two currents has a confluence, and formed a downdraft over the subtropical area. And, it plays an important role in summer circulation over East-Asia

Numerical Experiments on the Formation of the Summer Monsoon in Southeast Asia

1991, 2(3): 248-255.

[FullText](3352) [PDF 512KB](1222)

Abstract:
A two-level spectral model of atmospheric circulation is adopted and the physics processes of the two-level atmospheric general circulation model of the OSU is introduced in this paper. In order to investigate the formation reason of the East Asia summer monsoon, four different experiments have been performed. By comparing and analyzing of all these experiments, it reveals that: (1) the diabatic heating distribution produces weak low-level southwestlies over the monsoon region, (2) there is a mean across-equater airflow between the 45o-90oE, not in the vicinity of 105 oE and the analysis reveals that the affection of the south hemisphere is not important. (3) the mountains have played very important role in the East Asia monsoon circulation. The mechanical effect produces a low or trough on the southeast side of the Plateau, then the thermodynamic effect makes it strengthen and move close to the Plateau, thus the monsoon low or trough is formed

The Urban Moisture Island and Urban Fog of Suanghai

1991, 2(3): 256-263.

[FullText](2903) [PDF 419KB](1265)

Abstract:
By making use of the simultaneous observational meteorological data in 1984 in Shanghai urban and its suburbs, we discussed the formation of urban moisture island and its relationship with urban fog. Three major conclutions are as follows: (1) There are four types of urban moisture island according to formation: a) with less dew deposits in the nighttime, b) with less frost deposits in the nighttime, c) more water evaporation in or after the rain, d) more water evaporation in the fog time. All the above processes are accompanied by the urban heat island. (2) The urban moisture island is a very good indication of radiation fog and advection radiation fog, but there is little relationship with frontal fog.(3) During the radiation fog and advection radiation fog period of autumn or winter, there always exists an urban moisture island

Experiments of an Objective Operational Location Technique of Tropical Cyclone

1991, 2(3): 264-270.

[FullText](3882) [PDF 345KB](1200)

Abstract:
The experiments of an objective technique for estimating the location of a tropical cyclone from a variety of satellite and radar fix reports are described. The western North Pacific climatology and persistence (WPCLPR) track forecast technique is used to get a potential track from each fix. A tentative warning position is interpolated from a smooth curve that is fit to the future and past positions. When multiple fixes are available, the expected accuracy and the timeliness of each fix could be obtained using the weighing polynomia. The technique was tested by the independent data of 1988. The results demonstrate that this technique is a useful tool for the forecasters to determine the present location of the tropical cyclone

A Study of the Numerical Classification of the Climates in China

1991, 2(3): 271-279.

[FullText](2792) [PDF 414KB](1553)

Abstract:
A numerical classification of climates in China is conducted using meteorological data of 30 years at 432 stations. The results are similar to those obtained before with the traditional methods. Thus it is feasible to apply the numerical method to climatic classification in China. In addition, the numerical classification expressed in numerals is objective and quantitative, and thus it is convenient to treat the meteorological data with computers in climate classification. The concept of similarity is also used to compare quantitatively among different climatic types.

The Role of Meridional Cell in the Response of Atmosphere to the SSTA Forcing

1991, 2(3): 280-288.

[FullText](2509) [PDF 473KB](1381)

Abstract:
A simple model is developed including the effect of the meriodional cell. The global zonal mean fields are calculated from the data of EWMFC of 1982. A series of numerical experiments show that when the SSTA forcing locates at equatorial regions, the waves from the SSTA diabatic forcing can propagate towards both hemispheres. But when we consider the effect of Hadley cell, the characteristics of wave propagation have obvious changes in both the spatial phases and amplitudes, and they conform with actual atmospheric anomalies all the more. When the SSTA forcing locates at the northern (or southern) hemisphere, if we don’t consider the Hadley cell effect, the diabatic forcing can not have a strong atmospheric response in the southern (northern) hemisphere. But when the Hadley cell is considered, the waves from the diabatic forcing can propagate towards the other hemisphere. Furthermore, the seasonal effects on atmospheric response to the diabatic forcing are also discussed

Characteristics of Hydrological Cycle in North China

1991, 2(3): 289-293.

[FullText](3666) [PDF 269KB](1613)

Abstract:
This paper studies the characteristics of hydrological cycle for 40 years in north China with the water balance principle of land-atmosphere system under considering the effect of the natural climate change and anthropogenic activities. In the high flow period of 1950s, the rainfall is more than evaporation, the relationship among precipitation, run-off and evaporation was in balance. After 1960s the rainfall became less than evaporation. The negative value of (P—E) inhenced with decreasing of rainfall and increasing of amount of groundwater extracted. During the drought years the value of moisture outflow is more than that of inflow ever north China. The loss of moisture in the atmosphere could be compensated by the excess evaporation from the lost amount of ground water in this area

A Study on Simplified Simulation Model of the Spring Wheat Growth

1991, 2(3): 294-300.

[FullText](2806) [PDF 390KB](1172)

Abstract:
There is a close relationship between crop growth, development and yield formation and weather environmental conditions. In this paper, the mathematical equations describing micro-growth processes of crops (such as photosynthesis, respiration, leaf area growth, accumulation and distribution of dry matter and so on) have been established on the basis of the field experiments, laboratorial analysis and computer’s modeling tests with time interval of ten days for several years (1986—1989). It is a preliminary simplified simulation model of spring wheat growth under the optimal water and nutrient conditions. The field experiments show that simulation results of this simplified model are satisfactory.

1991, 2(3): 301-307.

[FullText](2878) [PDF 400KB](1295)

Abstract:
This paper presents three kinds of evolutionary cloud patterns summarized from GMS images and two kinds of OLR pentad mean fields from POS for the mediumrange rain storm prediction over the upstream reaches of Changjiang river based on the analysis of all eleven cases in the summers from 1978 through 1987. It is revealed that the interaction among the cloud systems of synoptic scales even larger scales over the middle or lower latitude areas is very important condition. In addition, in order to verify the mentioned above, we used the severe rain data in early July 1989. The results are satisfactory
