低纬地区渐近线型锋生辐合线系统及其对暴雨的湿热动力作用研究

The Asymptotic Frontgenesis Convergence Line and Its Mechanism of Wet-Thermodynamics on Heavy Rainfall in Low Latitude Zone

  • 摘要: 本文主要深入分析低纬度地区一类非台风、非热带气旋强降水的关键系统——渐近线型锋生辐合线,该系统在以往的气象教科书中未曾介绍过。该系统常与低纬度局地多年强降水中心相伴,是一类浅薄环流系统,主要发生在沿海地区,从海上向岸登陆。系统的辐合上升运动,伴随有显著的锋区和湿热动力不稳定,受季节性环流背景与下垫面地形相互结合的影响,对强降水落区具有明显指示。其中温度锋区造成热动力抬升,湿度锋与上层水汽输送带形成湿动力不稳定层结,垂直上升层与中层潜热中心配合,构成深厚的湿热动力不稳定,并与渐近线型辐合线轴左侧强降水区形成对应。对渐近线型锋生辐合线的客观追踪与系统坐标系建立,有助于对系统结构和要素分布特点的有效提取,以及对强降水中心的预判。WRF数值模式对比试验显示,非绝热加热可显示水汽输送及湿热作用,并增强降雨区的温度层结不稳定和对流性不稳定;并且非绝热加热在增强垂直上升运动层的强度与厚度时,还维持了低层低值系统强度。平流感热可增强锋区及其动力抬升,凝结潜热加热可影响渐近线型锋生辐合线的辐合位置和强度,进而影响系统的活跃程度。而中层潜热加热抑制平流感热冷却进入暖气团,维持降雨区的热力不稳定和降水雨强及雨量。这是此类渐近线型锋生辐合线系统的强降水湿热动力机制,地形动力机制另文讨论。

     

    Abstract: The asymptotic frontogenetic convergence line (AFCL) is a key system of non-typhoon and non-tropical cyclone heavy rainfall in tropical low latitudes. The system has not been introduced in any previous meteorological textbooks. Usually associated with the multi-year heavy rainfall centers in low latitude zone, AFCL is a kind of shallow circulation system mainly occurring in coastal areas and landing from the sea to the shore. The convergence and upward movement of the system is accompanied by significant front area and moist thermal dynamic instability. Affected by the combination of seasonal circulation background and underlying surface topography, AFCL can provide an effective indicator for the location of the heavy rainfall area. To be more specific, the temperature front causes the thermodynamic ascending, and the humidity front forms the wet dynamic unstable stratification with the upper water vapor transport. The vertical ascending layer cooperates with the latent heat center in the middle layer to form a deep moist thermal dynamic instability, which corresponds to the heavy precipitation area on the left side of the asymptotic frontogenetic convergence axis. The objective tracking of the AFCL and the establishment of its coordinate system are helpful for the characteristic extraction of the system structure and the distribution of the system variables and for predicting the center of heavy precipitation. The comparative experiments of WRF numerical model show that diabatic heating can show the role of water vapor transport and moisture heat, and enhance the temperature stratification instability and convective instability in the rainfall area; the diabatic heating also maintains the low value system strength at the low layer when enhancing the strength and thickness of the vertical rising layer. The advection sensible heating can enhance the temperature front and its dynamic uplift, and the condensation latent heating can affect the convergence position and intensity of the AFCL, and then affect the activity of the system. The latent heating in the middle layer inhibits the cooling of advection sensible heat into the warm air mass, and therefore maintains the moisture thermal instability, the rainfall intensity and the rainfall amount at the precipitation area. This is the moisture-thermal dynamic mechanism of the AFCL on heavy precipitation. The topographic dynamic mechanism will be discussed in another paper.
