[FullText](3078) [PDF 959KB](1402)

Abstract:
Based on the original operational limited area model, a new high resolution limited area model was developed and started operational run on May 15, 1996. Besides the increasements of horizontal resolution, the main improvements in the model are: (1) introduction of more reasonable physical processes, such as soil process, the budget of radiation on surface, surface friction and vertical diffusion in PBL; (2) Kuo scheme is replaced by mass flux scheme in the cumulus convection parameterization. The results of quasi-operational run are reviewed completely

Zhu Pingsheng Zhang Suping

1997, 8(4): 437-444.

[FullText](3068) [PDF 1117KB](1073)

Abstract:
The atmospheric circulation anomaly and North Pacific SSTA in spring prior to drought/flood of summer in North China are analysed and the relationships between SSTA and atmospheric circulation anomaly are discussed. Then numerical simulation forced by heat source anomaly in Kuroshio current area is made by using OSU-AGCM. The results show that rainy summers in North China would occur if arctic low vortices weaken significantly and zonal circulations strengthen in middle-high latitudes in Eurasian continent and West Pacific subtropical high lies northerly and westerly, and remarkable negative PNA-pattern exists in springs. Otherwise, there would be dry summer in North China. At the same period positive and negtive SST departures exist in the Western North Pacific and in equatorial East Pacific, respectively, which is closely related to atmospheric circulation anomaly in springs. SSTA in Kuroshio current area has great influence upon subtropical atmospheric circulations as well as those of its northside in the Northern Hemisphere. Positive SSTA in Kuroshio current area is an important factor for the anomalous atmospheric circulation pattern prior to flood of summer in North China

Mao Hengqing Li Xiaoquan

1997, 8(4): 385-392.

[FullText](4297) [PDF 931KB](3100)

Abstract:
By using the mulativariate linear statistical climate forecast model developed from canonical correlation analysis (CCA), a forecast experiment for winter temperature in China is carried out. Forecast skill is assessed using the test method of historical data independent samples. The results show that there is specified statistical predictive skill for short-term climatic prediction of winter temperature in China using CCA method. In most areas the best correlation coefficient between forecasts and observed values at lead times of 0~2 seasons is more than 0.5. The mean seasonal prediction is more effective than mean monthly one in general. The sea surface temperature is the most effective predictor field. The SST as predictor field can get higher skill score than other single one, and SST combined with other predictors would get much higher skill score

Short-term Climatic Change of Antarctic Ozone

Lu Longhua, Bian Lingen, Jia Pengqun

1997, 8(4): 402-412.

[FullText](3393) [PDF 1292KB](1651)

Abstract:
The spatial-temporal variations of Antarctic ozone are studied by using the surface-observed data of Antarctic ozone from 1957 to 1992. The results show that during the last 35 years the mean total ozone in Antarctic has an obvious decreasing trend, but in different regions, periods and seasons, there are great differences for the ozone variable trend. In recent years the ozone discrepancy in Antarctic is caused by the formation and development of Antarctic ozone hole. There exist obvious annual oscillation periods, quasi-20 and quasi-30 months for Antarctic ozone. The ozone variations are in close relationship with astronomical sunshine, stratospherical temperature field, polar stratospherical ice crystal clouds and presence of man-made CFCs and halons, etc

Zhou Xiaogang

1997, 8(4): 421-427.

[FullText](4950) [PDF 732KB](2202)

Abstract:
An equatorial β-plane linear model with basic flow was used to study the effects of basic flow on the equatorial waves. The results show that the equatorial Rossby wave and the gravity wave are still mixed in westerlies for n=0, but they are separated completely in easterlies, and the instable growth of the equatorial Rossby wave may occur in westerkies under some conditions

[FullText](2855) [PDF 772KB](1260)

Abstract:
Classification of precipitation distribution trends prior to flood-season in Guangdong Province was carried out by using fuzzy cluster analysis technique. Corresponging analysis was also made for the sampled representative stations. The distribution trends of flood-season precipitation were classified by taking the first two common factors to analyse mean height fields at 500 hPa and investigate their differences. Meanwhile, evolution characteristics of 500hPa circulation situation in the previous winter seasons (Jan. ~ Feb.) and SST distribution (Dec. ~ Feb.) were studied. Finally, Precipitation distribution trend in floodseason was predicted by using forecast values of the first two loading variables

Chen Xingfang Song Wenling

1997, 8(4): 469-476.

[FullText](4525) [PDF 1085KB](2323)

Abstract:
During the last ten years, the interannual changes of the precipitation distribution tendency in eastern China are characteristic of QBO. The precipitation in even numbered years is more than normal in central China, and less in northern and southern areas whereas the precipitation in odd numbered years is contrary, more precipitation in the central area, and less in northern and southern parts. The feature of precipitation change in Changjiang-Huaihe River basin is the most obvious. The analyses show that QBO feature of precipitation has relations with West Pacific subtropical high and cold air actions. Generally in the even numbered years, subtropical high is to the north of its normal position, the zonal circulation of Asia develops, and corresponding rain belt maves northward. The condition for odd numbered years is contrary, the subtropical high is southward, meridional circulation of Asia develops, and the rain belt moves southward, the precipitation in Changjiang-Huaihe River basin is more than normal

Retrieval of Turbulent Structure Coefficients from Sodar Echo

Pan Naixian

1997, 8(4): 477-484.

[FullText](3335) [PDF 796KB](1561)

Abstract:
Temperature structure coefficient (C) and velocity structure coefficient (C) can be deduced from the sodar return intensity. The past researches are reviewed briefly. The impacts of these physical factors, such as excess attenuation, wind and turbulence etc on the echo measurements are discussed. The results show that the excess attenuation of acoustic wave is mainly caused by the velocity fluctuation. On the other hand, the wind also causes some echo attenuation. When wind speed reaches 10 m/s, the received energy at antenna will reduce about half. At the end, a modified sodar equation and the retrieval method of C and C are given. The primary tests indicate a qualitative agreement with the theory presented here.

1997, 8(4): 498-502.

[FullText](3046) [PDF 592KB](2140)

Abstract:
The HIRLAM system was used in China to test its ability in forecasting the summer torrential rain in Yangtze River valley. The experiments of three selected torrential rain cases show 0 ~ 24 h accumulated rainfall forecasts are quite successful, being able to reproduce most of the observed torrential rain areas (daily rainfall≥50 mm) in the Yangtze River valley. The 24 ~ 48 h accumulated rainfall forecasts vary with different cases. Some cases are successful, some are failure. On the whole 24 ~ 48 h rainfall forecasts are worse than 0 ~ 24 h forecasts, especially for the forecast of daily rainfall≥50 mm.
