简介:通过对TOGA—COARE期间的一组锚系仪器阵列资料的分析得出:在赤道西太平洋1°45’S,156°E。海域存在显著的半日潮频内波,它的水平波数(波长)、垂向波数、水平传播速度和垂向传播速度分别约为:3.3×10^-2km^-1(210km),-1.6×10^-3m^-1,2.0m/s,-3.8cm/s。波形向斜下方传播,亦即波能向斜上方传输。它在观测点西南方生成后,向东北方向传播,到达观测海区。流速矢量旋转谱水平随深度的变化呈马鞍形,低谷及深处的峰所在深度分别与南赤道流及赤道潜流的南边界所在深度大体一致。旋转椭圆主轴方位角随深度变化,在浅层(40m处)为北偏东30°,到深处(324m)转为东偏南14°。总体上呈东北方向,表明波来自西南方向。

简介:利用NCEP/NCAR再分析月平均风场资料和中国东部120个站的降水资料,分析了1951--2010年北半球冬季110°-120°E经向环流的气候特征,定义了北半球冬季110°-120°E低纬Hadley环流和中高纬气流强度指数,并分析了其强度的长期变化趋势以及对中国东部同期降水的影响。结果表明:(1)北半球冬季110°-120°E经向环流主要包括低纬Hadley环流和中高纬度从高层到低层较-致的偏北下沉气流。(2)北半球冬季110°-120°EHadley环流和中高纬气流强度有明显的年际和年代际变化,二者在长期变化趋势上表现-致,即在1990年以前呈约20a的振荡周期,且波动更大,而在1990年以后呈约10a的振荡周期,波动相对较小。(3)北半球冬季110°-120°E经向环流强度指数对中国东部同期降水的年际变率具有较高的解释率,二者在统计上呈显著的负相关关系。北半球冬季110°-120°EHadley环流强度和中国东部同期降水相关程度大值区集中在江南、华南及江淮地区,中高纬气流强度和中国东部同期降水相关程度大值区集中在西北、江淮及江南地区。(4)东亚地区冬季经向环流异常的显著差异主要表现在中高纬度反向的异常气流和中低纬度反向异常环流圈的变化。强(弱)经向风年,北半球中高纬度从高层到低层为异常的偏北(南)气流,中低纬度对流层存在顺时针(逆时针)方向闭合的异常经向环流,对应中国东部降水显著减少(增多)。
