[FullText](2773) [PDF 292KB](1523)

Abstract:
Ozone has intensive absorption in the UV band. By taking in the condition of direct sun, moon, and twilight zenith sky, the UV absorption spectrum is measured with a self–made Solar and Skylight Spectrophotometer. The vertical and slant column amount of ozone is computed by using the method of band absorption. The procedure of measuring and calculating ozone amount is introduced in the paper. Also the preliminary result of ozone under the clear weather condition in Beijing is given here

Tao Zuyu

1993, 4(2): 145-153.

[FullText](3982) [PDF 484KB](1536)

Abstract:
According to the characteristics of the ambiguous Doppler velocity in the velocity-azimuth profile, a technique of tangential remove for ambiguous velocities is proposed in the paper. The process of removing the ambiguous velocities contains four major steps: Dividing the velocity-azimuth profile into zero segment (data gap), unambiguous segment, and ambiguous segment by removing the isolated points on the profile. Using the unambiguous segment with opposite signs at two ends as reference to determine the ambiguous segments and using the continuity of velocity distribution to remove the ambiguous velocity segments on the profile. Using the simulated harmonic curve of profile as reference to determine and remove the ambiguous points on the profile. Using one of the ambiguous velocity removed profile in a distance range as reference to remove ambiguous velocity according to the radial continuity of velocity distribution. The ration of the amplititude of simulated harmonic curve of profile to the average of the absolute value of Doppler velocity is used to check whether the ambiguous velocities are removed on a velocity-azimuth profile.

1993, 4(2): 154-161.

[FullText](3371) [PDF 387KB](1149)

Abstract:
Artificial experiments were performed in the Gutian reservoir region during April to June of 1975–1986. The statistical analyses from 244 experiments indicate that the effect of precipitation enhancement can reach about 20% by seeding. Meanwhile, the various cloud physics observations, including the concentration of ice nuclei, the Ag+ content in rain water, the features of radar echoes and the raindrop size distribution, and numerical simulations have been conducted. The results provide a preliminary physical explanation for the statistical conclusions

Yan Jinghua Xue Jishan

1993, 4(2): 162-168.

[FullText](4051) [PDF 358KB](1338)

Abstract:
Several experiments of the physical initialization in the numerical prediction of typhoons, by using P.R. Julian’s scheme (1984) with the operational tropical limited area operational NWP model, are conducted. The results show that not only the initial state (stream and rainfall rate) in the areas of the typhoon, the monsoon depression or the subtropic high, but also the predictions of the strength and the track of the typhoon can be largely improved by the use of physical initialization, which proved to be a effective and feasible method in the tropical NWPs.

A Theoretical Analysis of Electrostatic Field Change Waveshape Caused Lightning Leader

Zhang Yijun Yan Muhong Liu Xingsheng

1993, 4(2): 185-191.

[FullText](4098) [PDF 338KB](1742)

Abstract:
By analyzing theoretically the electrostatic field change of a CG lightning leader process, it is indicated that temporal variation rate of electrostatic field dE/dt caused by leader development is better than net field change △E for characterizing the leader propagation. Starting position of the leader, velocity of leader propagation near the ground and leader instant current when leader reached the ground could be determined by using the time-varying curve of dE/dt. Meawhile, the features of inclination or flexion of lightning channel can be infered from the distribution of extreme value point by the curve of dE/dt versus time.

The Special Property of Kinetic Energy of 30—50 Day Oscillation and Its Relationship to the Barotropic Instability of Basic Flow

Xu Jianjun Zhu Gang

1993, 4(2): 192-197.

[FullText](3196) [PDF 324KB](1321)

Abstract:
By using ECMWF day–to–day grid data, the distribution of vector E, the special property of kinetic energy and the features of the barotropic instability for 30–50 day oscillation are analyzed. It is found that the energy propagation of 30–50 day disturbance is closely related to the location of the west wind jet. The wave energy propagates zonally at the place where the west wind is stronger but meridionally at the place where that is weaker. Due to the stronger conversion of barotropic energy, the disturbance with low—frequency can get energy from basic flow, which causes the greatest kinetic energy of these disturbances in the jet exit region. The vertical distributions of kinetic energy here show us the fairly barotropic characteristics which strongly contrasted to the baroclinic over area of low latitudes

Multi—step Prediction Model of Time Series for Precipitation

Cao Hongxing Wei Fengying

1993, 4(2): 198-204.

[FullText](3620) [PDF 293KB](1849)

Abstract:
A time series model for the multi―step prediction is proposed in the paper. Having calculated mean generating functions of the time series and its difference and then screening all extending series of the mean generating functions with the couple score criterion, the model which is well available for both the fitting and the forecast is built. As an example, total precipitation during the period from June to August over the lower and middle reaches of the Yangtse river is modeled. It is shown that the model proposed here is useful for year―to―year climate prediction or month―to―month long―range weather forecast

Qu Weizheng Li Jiangbo

1993, 4(2): 218-225.

[FullText](3073) [PDF 290KB](1302)

Abstract:
On calculating heat flux, latent flux and momentum flux, the errors of heat exchange coefficient cT, evaporation coefficient c E, and friction coefficient cv are brought about, owing to the different measure height of meteorological elements, respectively, which will affect the result to a certain extent, In the paper, a method of height correction is introduced in order to amend the coefficients. And, the method will improve the accuracy of calculation. The result shows the errors of coefficient corrected can reduce by a factor of 9% to 11%.

The Detection of Global Climate Warming and Its Causes

Wang Shaowu

1993, 4(2): 226-236.

[FullText](3745) [PDF 666KB](1559)

Abstract:
The progress and advances in studies on the global climate warming are reviewed. The conclusions are as following: Earth surface temperature has increased by 0.5℃ during the last one hundred years. 1980’s became the warmest decade for that time interval. The warming is being in continuing in early 1990’s. 1990 was the warmest year, 1991 was the second warmer year since 1861. However, the warming of 0.5℃ is still in the range of natural variability. The temperatures in the Medieval Warm Period (900－1300) were probably comparable to that in the 20th century. The temperatures during the Little Ice Age (1550－1850) may be lower than that at present time by 1.0－1.5℃. Therefore, it is crucial to study systematically the impact of solar activity and volcanism on the climate for the last millennium. The warming in the warm scenario with doubled CO2 based on the time－dependent coupled GCM is 1.3－2.3℃, which is much less than the estimation of the balance simulation of AGCM. And, the cooling effect of the anthropogenic aerosol is emphasized, it could compensate partly the greenhouse effect.

The Heating Effects of Irradiance on Rice Leaf Temperature and Its Influence on the Photosynthetic Rate

Li Linying Wu Yuanzhong Duan Xiangsuo

1993, 4(2): 250-255.

[FullText](3967) [PDF 300KB](1990)

Abstract:
The variation of rice leaf temperature with ambient air temperature and irradiance intensity imposed on the leaf surface is discussed based on the experimental data in a controlled environment chamber. The heating effects of irradiance on leaf temperature will change the patterns of photosynthetic response to light intensity. According to the rectangular hyperbola photosynthetic model, the rice leaf photosynthetic character in different environment conditions is simulated. The results show that when the air temperature is less than the temperature suitable for photosynthetic physiological process, the heating effects raise the leaf temperature, thereby improving the photosynthetic capacity. Otherwise, the effects are contrary to the results above.
