简介:我们在东亚(EA)上在夏天intraseasonal摆动(ISO)的27年的强迫的模拟评估GAMIL1.1.1的表演西方的诺思太平洋(WNP)。评价基于二项措施:climatologicalISO(CISO)和短暂ISO(TISO)。CISO是对年度周期锁阶段并且描述季节的行军的ISO部件。TISO是逐年变化的ISO部件。模型相当捕获ISO的许多观察特征,包括逐步向北方CISO的雨带进展,在华南海菲律宾的海(SCS-PS)和长江盆(YRB)的TISO的主导的频率,向北方3050天的TISO的繁殖并且向西在SCS-PS上的1225天的TISO模式的繁殖,和在YRB上的三个主要TISO模式的带的宣传特征。然而,模型有著名缺乏。这些包括与CISO联系的华南海季风的早发作,太快向北方到40°N和10°N的CISO信号南方的缺席的从20°N的CISO的繁殖,3050天的TISO模式的缺乏的东方繁殖和在YRBTISO模式的向南方的繁殖的缺席。作者发现在ISO模拟的缺乏是仔细与模型在平均数的偏爱有关说,建议模型的改进意味着状态为intraseasonal变化的现实主义的模拟是关键的。
