摘要: 应用国家气象中心全球谱模式T213L31(简称T213) 及其升级版本T639L60(简称T639) 对2009—2010年西北太平洋热带气旋数值预报的结果进行对比。结果表明:T213与T639模式24~120 h预报平均距离误差基本相近,但由于T639模式分辨率较高,T639模式的热带气旋强度预报明显好于T213模式。从分类误差来看,T639模式对于西北行登陆及转向热带气旋的路径预报好于T213模式,但对西行及北上热带气旋预报误差偏大。对于异常路径热带气旋预报,T639模式能较好预报环流形势的突然调整,对路径突变的热带气旋预报比T213模式有明显优势;从登陆类热带气旋预报的移向误差来看,T213模式存在东北偏北向系统性偏差,T639模式存在东北偏东向系统性偏差。Abstract: The vortex initialization scheme used in the operational global model T213L31 for tropical cyclone (TC) track prediction is implemented in higher resolution global spectral model T639L60 in 2009, which is the new generation model for medium range forecast in National Meteorological Center. The vortex initialization scheme used in T213L31 typhoon model includes three parts. One part processes the initial vortex formation using bogus vortex technique when TC being first named in the northwest Pacific Ocean, another part relocates the vortex in the following backgrounds according to the correct position analyzed by the forecasters, and the third part modifies the intensity according to the maximum wind or the minimum sea level pressure analyzed by the forecasters. The comparative analysis of the performance of TC track forecasts for T639L60 and T213L31 typhoon models is carried out using the TC track data from 2009 to 2010 in order to evaluate the ability of TC track prediction of T639L60. The results show that the mean distance errors of T213L31 and T639L61 are close within 72 h forecast, but for 96 h and 120 h forecasts, T639L61 brings a little bit larger errors. The errors of T213L31 and T639L61 for No.0907—No.0922 and No.1001—No.1014 TCs are 120.2 km and 124.8 km (24 h), 211 km and 203.8 km (48 h), 314.7 km and 320.7 km (72 h), 416.3 km and 436.6 km (96 h), 556.3 km and 602.1 km (120 h). The intensity errors of T639L60 are much smaller than those of T213L31 because of the higher resolution of T639L60. The track errors are also analyzed by group all the TCs into five different types of tracks: North-westward moving, northward moving, westward moving, recurvature and unusual track TCs. The results show that T639L60 has better performance for the north-westward moving and recurvature TCs than T213L31, but the track errors are much larger for the northward moving TCs and west moving TCs especially the west moving TCs in the South China Sea. For abnormal track TC forecasts, T639L60 can well forecast the adjustment of the environmental flow and has much smaller mean track errors than T213L31. For the systematic direction errors of landing TC forecasts, T213L31 has the systematic bias of northeast-north and T639L60 has the systematic bias of northeast-east.
