两次高原低涡东移特征及发展机制动力诊断

The dynamic diagnosis on easterwards moving characteristics and developing mechanism of two Tibetan Plateau vortex processes.

  • 摘要: 应用NCEP再分析资料,进行物理量计算,并结合地面和探空气象资料以及卫星探测资料,从动力学角度分析2008年7月19—22日和2007年7月29日—8月1日两次高原低涡东移特征及演变机制,获得低涡东移发展或减弱的一些特征和机理认识。研究结果表明,低涡东移过程中,正涡度东传特征明显。低涡东移过高原后呈维持加强趋势,表现为低涡过高原前,深厚的正涡度层配合深厚的上升运动,以及对流层中低层较强的辐合;低涡过高原后,正涡度强度增加,对流层中低层的辐合、上升运动增大,对流层中高层的辐散增加。而低涡东移后呈减弱趋势,表现为正涡度强度、垂直上升速度较东移发展低涡要弱;低涡过高原后,正涡度强度减弱,整层的辐合上升运动减弱明显。低涡东移过高原,与低涡发展密切相关的正涡度带的维持、发展或减弱的动力机制主要受控于总涡源的发生、发展与减弱。辐合辐散流场维持发展,对总涡源有较大影响,对低涡维持发展有重要作用;地形的动力作用使其大地形后的背风坡更易低涡发展;涡区附近及以北盛行偏北气流有利于低涡发展;垂直涡度输送不利于对流层中低层低涡加强。分析还表明,冷空气触发大气不稳定能量释放,是低涡发展的重要机制;冷暖空气交汇导致辐合流场的维持和加强,是低涡得以维持和加强的重要因素。

     

    Abstract: By using NCEP reanalysis data, calculating physical variables, and combining application of observatory data, satellite data and radiosonde data, the characteristics and development mechanism of two Tibetan Plateau vortex processes which happened during 19-22 July 2008 (“7.21” process) and 29 July to 1 August 2007 (“7.31” process) are analyzed dynamically. The results show that the positive vorticity moving eastwards is obvious along with the plateau vortex moving eastwards. If the plateau vortex is sequentially enhanced after it moves out of the Plateau, it behaves as follows: deep positive vorticity accompanies with the deep air vertical up movement as well as accompanies with strong convergence in middle and low troposphere levels before the plateau vortex moves out of the plateau. The positive vorticity is strengthened with the stronger air vertical up movement and stronger convergence in middle and low troposphere levels and stronger divergence in middle and upper troposphere levels after the plateau vortex moves out of the plateau. If the plateau vortex is sequentially weakened after moves out of the plateau, it behaves as follows: positive vorticity is weaker and accompanies with the weaker deep air vertical up-movement, accompanies with less convergence in middle and low troposphere levels before the plateau vortex moves out of the plateau. The positive vorticity is weakened with the weaker air vertical up movement and less convergence whole troposphere after the plateau vortex moves out of the plateau. When the plateau vortex moving over the plateau, the area of positive vorticity change rate center almost agrees with the area of positive vorticity center. The positive vorticity area maintenance, development and weakening dynamic mechanism which is close related with the development of the plateau vortex are mainly controlled by the total vorticity source's generation, development, and weakening. The maintenance and development of convergence or divergence fields have important influence on total vorticity source and take an important role in the maintenance and development of low vortex. The dynamic influence of topography makes the plateau vortex easier to develop on lee slope side of the big topography. The nearby and north area leaning north direction winds is favorable to the development of the plateau vortex. The vertical vorticity transition is not favorable to the strengthening of plateau vortex in the middle and low troposphere levels. The results also show that stream field convergence is stronger, the movements of cold and warm air are more active and the congregation of instability energy is more obvious during “7.21” process than during “7.31” process. The release of instability energy triggered by cold air is an important mechanism of low vortex development. That the meeting of cold and warm air leads to the maintaining and strengthening of convergence stream fields is the important factor of maintaining and strengthening of low vortex.
