Abstract:
Utilizing a vast amount of raw data obtained from the field test and flighting experiments in Chengdu and Zhengzhou for the first C-band wind-finding prototype radar in China, the static features of tracking a fixed target and the dynamic features of tracking a moving target have been analysed in detail. The results indicate that in the case of a fixed target to be tracked, this radar has a very high tracking accuracy. In the case of a moving target to be tracked, the discrepancy of the tracking data will increase still further. Fortunately, the rate of data collection of the radar is very high. Using suitable smoothed method and selecting suitable temperal interval for the calculation of wind aloft, the wind profile with high accuracy (e. g. 1 m/s) and moderate fineness of its stratification can be obtained

Abstract:
Two cases of heavy rainfall occurred in Jilin Province in July, 1991 are diagnosed and simulated by using MM2 and MM4 mesoscale models. The results of diagnostic analyses show that the case of 20th July is a mesoscale cumulus complex (MCC) developed in warm area. The vertical profile of the apparent heat source (Q1) for this heavy rain from the only cumulus cloud has two peaks. However, for case 21th to 22th July, MCCs embody in stable precipitation of cyclone with only one peak of Q1 apparent heat source vertical profile. This single peak is over about 550 hPa and is lower than the upper peak of the former case. The results from numerical simulation indicate that the heights of cumulus heating peaks for different weather systems are different and, this different of heating peak heights may cause different feedback to large scale environmental field.

[FullText](2992) [PDF 389KB](1045)

Abstract:
By using CEOF, the phase propagations and geographical features of the 10~20 day low-frequency oscillations have been discussed using the data of daily 850 hPa and 360 hPa ECMWF zonal wind data from June to August, 1982/1983. The results show that (1) On 300hPa, the oscillations have a obvious region, it was to the south of 20°N from India to the east of the Philippines in 1982. On 850 hPa, the obvious regions of oscillation were in 5o~15°N, 75 o ~132.5E, and the southeast coast of China in 1982. However, only the obvious regions of oscillation were in the southeast coast areas of China, in the southeast of the Bay of Bengal, and to the north of Malaysia in 1983. (2) On 300 hPa, a source of the oscillation was in 30°~40°N, 85°~90°E in 1982, and the branch oscillation can propagate south ward to the north of the Bay of Bengal around 28°N. However, oscillations converged in 35°~40°N, 80°~90°E in 1983

Zheng Guoan, Cuo Xiaorong

1995, 6(2): 129-137.

[FullText](3091) [PDF 458KB](1614)

Abstract:
A triple nested High resolution Limited Area Model (HLAM) is recently developed and runs on computer CYBER-992. The model’s domain, geographical location, lateral boundary width, especially horizontal resolution are highly flexible. A case of heavy rain is simulated using this model with horizontal resolution of 50 km. The results are encouraging: (1) The location of low pressure centers, the area of heavy rainfall and the trend of rain-band are more closer to those of analysis as compared with low resolution nested grid model. (2) Although the area of high resolution model’s simulation is reduced, the forecast effect is not influenced and 48 hour forecast still has high precision. Preliminary experiments show that HLAM can be developed into a regional high resolution model for mesoscale research and operational forecasts.

Tao Zuyu, Wang Hongqing, Huang Wei, Tian Baijun

1995, 6(2): 146-152.

[FullText](3872) [PDF 413KB](1462)

Abstract:
The GMS satellite data and diagnostic field are used to analyze the structure and evolution of the cloud system of landed Typhoon No. 9216. The analysis indicates that the structure and evolution of GMS satellite images reflect the close relationship between Typhoon No. 9216 and the upper and low level environmental currents. The exceptional strong storm tide and the extensive heavy rainfall region from Typhoon No. 9216 are caused by the effects of the strong divergent current on the right side of upper level jet entrance and the very strong low level jet with warm advection

Zhang Xiang, Zhou Xuequn

1995, 6(2): 163-170.

[FullText](2909) [PDF 419KB](1430)

Abstract:
By using a five layer limited area primitive equations model, the terrain, heating perturbation over South Asia and a cooling perturbation over Australia are incorporated, respectively in the numerical model to discuss their effects on the southwesterly formation over the Nansha Sea area. The experiments of terrain show that the topographic effect is necessary on the southwesterly formation, but the topographic effect is not strong enough to make the southwest wind velocity reach 12 m/s. Furthermore, with the help of the effect of terrain, the experiment results including heating perturbation over the Philippines and the cooling perturbation over Australia, respectively, show that they can both make the southwesterly formation of above 12 m/s over the Nansha sea area. However, the heating perturbation over the Bay of Bengal has no effect on the formation of southwesterly over the Nansha Sea area

Luo Dehai

1995, 6(2): 220-227.

[FullText](3082) [PDF 311KB](1675)

Abstract:
Using a generalized beta-plane approximation f =fo+βoy －(δ0 /2)y2 , a kind of the solitary Rossby waves excited by theδ0 term excluding effects of shearing basic flow and topography et al is mainly investigated. The computational results show that the obtained solitary Rossby wave with meridional wavenumber 1 has a dipole structure with a high pressure in the north and a low in the south, which mainly exists in the weak westerly wind. On the other hand, the energy of dipole easily accumulates with the latitude. Thus, the beta parameter with the change of latitude may be one reason of producing dipole blocking in the mid-high latitudes.

Liu Yongqian, Ding Yihui

1995, 6(2): 228-239.

[FullText](3366) [PDF 636KB](1524)

Abstract:
Regional climate modeling is one of the methods developed in recent years to study the climate and climate change on regional basis. Owing to better description of terrain features and underlying surface condition, and incorporating of detailed land-surface process, the regional climate model can be used to capture regional-scale temperature and precipitation distributions as well as features of soil moisture variation, which are difficult to be resolved by GCMs. In addition, the regional climate simulation is important for understanding regional response of global warming and effect of ecology and environment caused by greenhouse gasses forcing. The present paper makes an attempt to summarize the state of the art of regional climate model and numerical simulation results, and addresses the problems to be further studied.

1995, 6(2): 246-251.

[FullText](3140) [PDF 418KB](1224)

Abstract:
A Study of the interaction between the behaviour of forest fire and associated air motion is very important for extinguishing the fire. A two-dimensional non-linear quasielastic model of air motion associated with severe temperature disturbance was developed. The structure and evolution of air motion and temperature fields associated with forest fire under three kinds of conditions were simulated, which are calm atmosphere, vertically sheared wind and spreading fire with surface wind. The results were reasonable. Differences of air motion and heat transfer under these conditions were investigated and the surface reverse wind was analyzed.
