[FullText](6139) [PDF 433KB](2703)

Abstract:
The distribution of vertically integrated water vapour transportation and flux divergence in the Mei-yu season over the Changjiang River and the Huaihe River basins is studied. The water vapor budget over the Nanhai Sea and the eastern China area is calculated. The results indicate that water vapour associated with precipitation over south China before the Mei-yu period comes mainly from the two air currents which are the Indian southwestern monsoon and the eastern Asian southeastern monsoon, respectively; water vapour of precipitation in the Mei-yu period comes mainly from the Indian southwestern monsoon current; and after the Mei-yu period, the rainy season over North China is mainly affected by the convergence currents from the middle and the low latitude. The analysis shows the Mei-yu period is beginning when the Indian southwestern monsoon current strengthens and moves eastward then northward, and the western Pacific high shifts eastward; and the Mei-yu period is ending when the southwestern monsoon current weakens and declines westward, and the western Pacific high stretches westward and moves northward. In addition, the relationships between the water vapour flux convergence and cloudiness/precipitation over the eastern China are discussed

The Influence of Structure of Upper-tropospheric Cold Vortex on Typhoon Motion

Fei Liang Li Xiaofan

1993, 4(1): 1-7.

[FullText](3717) [PDF 389KB](1865)

Abstract:
The role of upper-tropospheric cold vortex with different horizontal and vertical structures in the process of typhoon movement is studied. It is found that the structural variation of aloft cold vortex will affect the typhoon motion. The analysis shows that barotropic processes dominate in direction of motion, but under some circumstances, baroclinic processes dominate in its speed. Furthermore, it is also shown that contribution of horizontal vorticity advection to the positive center of TVT (total vorticity tendency) comes from the advection of asymmetric vorticity with steering current, and contribution of divergence field to TVT is mainly from the correlation field between the planetary vorticity and asymmetric divergence. Finally, it is concluded that within the ranging affected by the cold vortex, typhoon will move to the regions of convergence center in the upper-troposphere or divergence center in the mid-and-lower troposphere. This conclusion is useful to forecasters

1993, 4(1): 22-29.

[FullText](3856) [PDF 413KB](1399)

Abstract:
Based on statistical facts, the heat source variation of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is related with the flow of upper reaches of Yellow River. A numerical experiment of influence of the heat source variation over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau on the flow of upper reaches of Yellow River in the summer is performed with a model of GCM. The results show that while the heat source of the Plateau is weaken, the runoff is decreased and flow is descended. As a result, the heat source vaiation of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is one of the important causes which led to flow variation of the upper reaches of Yellow River

A Numerical Study on Mesoscale Inhomogeneous Boundary—layer Climate: Part (Ⅱ) the Summer Numerical Experiment

1993, 4(1): 30-37.

[FullText](2692) [PDF 422KB](1194)

Abstract:
The PBL climate characteristics over inhomogeneous underlying surface in North China for summer is studied by using the modified Nickerson’s model. The results indicate that the horizontal inhomogeneity of temperature and humidity over the underlying surface plays an important role in the boundary layer climate under conditions of clear and calm day without synoptic system disturbance. The PBL climatic features are closely related to the local circulation. A phenomenon called inversion of humidity in the PBL over a dry bare soil is ascribed to the joint of the heterogeneous humidity pattern and mesoscale advection over the inhomogeneous underlying surface

Xu Qun Wang Bingmei

1993, 4(1): 38-44.

[FullText](3395) [PDF 338KB](1372)

Abstract:
Since the late 1960s, especially during the 1980s, the global climate has warmed up significantly. However, this warming mainly occurs in winter, but the monsoon rain belt over the east Asia/west Africa during high summer shows a trend moving southward. Based on strict statistics with the support of numerical modelling, it is found that such a southwardly shift of the summer monsoon rain belt with less rainfall in North China and Sahel is caused by the decrement of direct solar radiation in the clear skies over the Northern Hemisphere/China. And the radiation decreasing is the result brought out by the increment of volcanic eruptions as well as air pollutants in recent years

Liu Yu Zhou Xiuji Li Weiliang

1993, 4(1): 45-51.

[FullText](3360) [PDF 273KB](2015)

Abstract:
By using one-dimensional atmospheric chemistry model for stratosphere and troposphere, with including the vertical advection, diffusion and chemical processes, the vertical distribution of ozone is studied. It is found that the increase of ozone concentration in lower troposphere is due to increase of surface source of NOx, and its increase in the summer is larger than that in the winter. By comparison the sensitive experiments of diffusive coefficient with vertical wind, it is indicated that the effects of advective process in the ozone transfer from stratosphere toward troposphere may be more important

A Numerical Model for Diagnosing Boundary Layer Wind over Real Terrain

Zhao Ming Ma Jijun

1993, 4(1): 57-64.

[FullText](3558) [PDF 310KB](1559)

Abstract:
Based on semi-geostrophic PBL model and large-scale model, a diagnostic model to calculate boundary layer wind is introduced. The horizontal inhomogeneities of terrain and the roughness of ground, the temporal and spatial variations of large-scale pressure field are included in this model. A terrain coordinate transformation is introduced to compute the horizontal gradient of the geostrophic winds. The tower layer wind model is used to diagnose the boundary layer wind instead of the semi-geostrophic model for the lower latitude. The comparison with the observational data shows that the diagnosis has attained a fairly high level accuracy for both wind direction and wind speed. Therefore, it can be used in practice to diagnose or forecast the PBL wind when largescale model is incorporated.

1993, 4(1): 73-78.

[FullText](3510) [PDF 239KB](1207)

Abstract:
At present, it has been found that the reduction in production occurring in the high-yielded wheat plots is caused by the excessive utilization of nitrogen fertilizer and high frequency of irrigation. The effects of different nitrogens and water levels on wheat yield are discussed and a mathematical model is described in the paper. Based on the overall evaluation of input and output, the optimum requirements for the nitrogen amount and irrigation frequency are found out, thus bringing the great help to raise nitrogen and water efficiency to wheat.

The Relationship Between Celestial Tide-generating Forces and Activities of Blocking High over the Eastern Asia in Summer

Zhang Suqin Ren Zhenqiu

1993, 4(1): 79-85.

[FullText](2817) [PDF 338KB](1392)

Abstract:
The relationship between the celestial tide-generating forces and activities of the blocking high over the eastern Asia in the mid summer is described. It is indicated that the formation, persistence and collapse of the blocking high over the eastern Asia is related to the resonance of tide-generating forces concerning with the astronomical singularities. The blocking high in the Baikal Lake and Sea of Ochotsk forms when the resonance pressure-increasing of three or/and more astronomical singularities occurs in two or three days. And then, the high will persist if the resonance pressure-increasing occurs successively. Finally, the collapse is brought out by the resonance pressure-decreasing. Some cases found in other regions, which lead to severe weather processes, are similar to those over the eastern Asia.

Zhang Xiuzhi Chen Qianjin

1993, 4(1): 105-111.

[FullText](2955) [PDF 283KB](1912)

Abstract:
According to the theory of complex extreme distribution, the extreme wind speed which recurs once every several years over the sea is estimated. The calculation is supported with the method of binomial log-normal distributioin based on the short-term observations of maximum wind. The estimated value is considered as the basic value and calculations with the empirical for mula incorparating the long-term observations of the maximum coastal wind is taken as the corrected value. The recurrent wind speed for engineering design over the sea is derived by summing up the basic value and corrected one. The result of estimation is approximately equal to those with the Person Ⅲ distribution and Poisson-Gumbel distribution and shows the greater stability than that derived from the binomial log-normal distribution. This method is more significant in estimating the extreme wind speed when the long-term observations are deficient

Liang Pingde Wu Fengzhen

1993, 4(1): 122-126.

[FullText](3660) [PDF 237KB](1646)

Abstract:
The climatic change in Tianjin and its influence on grain production are studied by using the temperature and rainfall data during 1932—1989. The results show that the warming in Tianjin coincides with that in the Northern Hemisphere, and the warming in winter is more obvious. The rainfall in Tianjin was increased in spring and early summer, while decreased in mid summer during the global warming period of 1980s. The warming climate in 1980s was very favourable to the yeild of winter wheat and maize, but unfavourable to the soybean in Tianjin. The drought climate in 1980s was unfavourable to the growth of rice, either in sown area or in yield per unit area.
