    2005, 33(1):1-6.
    [Abstract](1381) [HTML](0) [PDF 137.00 K](2195)
    Abstract:
    Recent progress in researches on tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and structure changes is reviewed. According to the maximum potential intensity (MPI) theory, at the given thermodynamic state of the atmosphere and ocean, there exists MPI. In fact, tropical cyclones' maximum intensity is generally less than that of MPI theory. There are many internal and external dynamic factors to prohibit TC intensification through structure changes. The changes of intensity and structure involve complex different-scale interactions. The recent researches show that the mesoscale processes resulting in TC asymmetry are crucial to the variation of both intensities and structures of TCs, including vortex Rossby waves, spiral rainbands, mesoscale vortices, environmental flow, and boundary layer processes. The external environment flow also influences the intensities and structures of TCs through these mesoscale processes over the eyewalls

    Abstract:
    Helicity denotes the conjunct intensity of rotation and the movement along the rotation, and it is conservative in isentropic fluid. Helicity is the basic physical pattern for the maintenance of atmospheric activities. Boundary layer fluids, turbulences, severe storms and tropical cyclones are highly helical in their structures. Severe storms often occur in highly helical environments. The stability of fluid is closely associated with helicity. High helicity prevents transient energy from leaping to other energy classes, thus has great importance for the maintenance of supercell. Z-helicity is a good indicator of heavy rainfall. The relative helicity of a storm has great importance in the evolution of the storm. The occurrence of a meso-cyclone is highly depended on the value of helicity. The relative helicity of a storm is also a good indicator of hail occurrence. It is difficult for the application of relative storm helicity in predicting storms for the uncertainty of storm velocity. There exists inherent relationship between atmospheric temperature and helicity, and the surface relative helicity can be used to measure the temperature advection caused by geostrophic flow.

    2005, 33(1):17-21.
    [Abstract](1551) [HTML](0) [PDF 526.55 K](1730)
    Abstract:
    In order to improve the single-station precipitation forecast accuracy, a case study was conducted on a strong precipitation event on 19 July 2003 in Hubei Province. Through diagnostic analysis, the causes of circulation formation were discussed. The results show that it was a typical large-scale heavy rain process resulted from a mid-latitude barocline system, and its formation mechanism can be explained by the quasi-geostrophic theory. For strong precipitation forecast, especially severe heavy rainfall forecasts within or at the edge of the raining area, secondary circulation must be diagnosed and analyzed. Only when the conditions of the secondary circulation are met, heavy rainfall will occur; or else there will be an absent forecast.

    2005, 33(1):22-24.
    [Abstract](1308) [HTML](0) [PDF 119.02 K](1704)
    Abstract:
    The commensurability indicates a certain order existing in natural phenomena. The commensurability (approximate periodicity) is the expansion of periodicity. In order to forecast the occurrence year of a landing typhoon in Zhejiang, a commensurable formula of three elements was used in arrangement and calculation. Thus the commensurable formula for several years in the future can be given, and the occurrence year of a landing typhoon can be judged according to the peak value of frequency of the commensurable formula. The long-term change process of a landing typhoon can be forecasted and analyzed by means of the principle and method of commensurability. The result is relatively good and is of practical significance for typhoon prevention and disaster reduction along the coast regions. Being able to reveal the interrelation of natural phenomena, the method has broad prospects in application.

    [Abstract](1468) [HTML](0) [PDF 856.74 K](2131)
    Abstract:
    A dust storm forecasting experiment was conducted with a dust storm integrated forecasting system in the spring of 2002. The system includes a regional atmospheric model, a land-surface model, a wind erosion model, and a dust transport and deposition model. Geographic information data, such as soil type, vegetation height, fractional vegetation cover and leaf-area index, were used in the integrated forecasting system. By means of the numerical products of the integrated forecasting system, two case studies were conducted through analyzing sand flux, dust flux, vertically integrated mass, and so on. The results were compared with surface observation data and satellite images. The test results show that the system is feasible as a dust storm operational model.

    [Abstract](1480) [HTML](0) [PDF 316.06 K](1858)
    Abstract:
    Brief introduction of wavelet analysis and its application in atmospheric science is presented and the periodicity of 41 years (1960 to 2000) in the Chongqing precipitation time series (single station data) was diagnosed by the means of one-dimension Morlet wavelet transformation. The results show that there exists an obvious quasi 18-year period oscillation in Chongqing rainfall and less pronounced periods of 11, 3-5 and 8 years. It is found that the zero points of Morlet wavelet transformation coefficients correspond with the inflexions of the 40-year precipitation variation in Chongqing, and the zero-point positions of the of Morlet wavelet transformation coefficients correspond with the positions of the abrupt change points of the precipitation variation in Chongqing. Either over a large time scale or small scale, for summer and annual precipitation variations, Chongqing was in an obviously more-than-normal period, while for autumn precipitation, in an obviously less-than-normal period.

    [Abstract](1407) [HTML](0) [PDF 107.56 K](2138)
    Abstract:
    The characteristics of temporal and spatial distribution of hails over Yunnan Province were analyzed by using of the recent 40-year hail data, to reveal the variation regularities of hails and main influencing factors. The analysis shows that the seasonal distribution of hails was very complicated. The peak values usually occurred in spring and summer. The seasonal distribution of hails was related with elevation: generally in springtime hails happened more frequently at lower-elevation areas, and in summertime at high-elevation areas. The inter-annual change of the numbers of hailing days in the western Yunnan was more obvious than in the eastern Yunnan, while the inter-decadal change of hailing-day numbers was more obvious in the eastern Yunnan than in the western Yunnan. The numbers of hailing days in mountainous and high-elevation areas were greater than those in basin or plain areas and lower-elevation areas.
    10  Formation Mechanism Analysis of a Heavy Rain in Shandong Province in Spring

    2005, 33(1):45.
    [Abstract](1762) [HTML](0) [PDF 201.76 K](1672)
    Abstract:
    By using the analyzed and 6-hour prediction data provided by the T213 model, the causes of a heavy rain and the energy and moisture conditions were analyzed. The dynamic trigger mechanism was studied through analyzing the features of helicity and Q* vectors. The result shows that the heavy rain was influenced mainly by the low vortex at 850 hPa and the surface cyclone; the convergence and ascending motion in the center of the vortex and north of the cyclone center triggered convective instability energy release, resulting in the heavy rain. The low-level Southwest Jet provided sufficient moisture and instability energy. The strong positive helicity and the intensive convergence of Q* vectors at the low level in the raining area indicate that there was superposition of mesoscale and synoptic-scale ascending motions. Differing from summer heavy rains, the systems in the westerly belt played a dominant role in spring heavy rain formation, but the subtropical systems are weaker and cool and warm air motions were very active before and after the heavy rain.
    11  A Case Study of Heavy Snow Forecasting Failure

    2005, 33(1):50-52.
    [Abstract](1359) [HTML](0) [PDF 126.73 K](1744)
    Abstract:
    Through comparing forecast with observation, a forecasting failure is analyzed. On the basis of the analysis of the numerical forecasts and the meteorology elements, the predicting thoughts of the forecasters then are discussed. It is pointed out that the main physical mechanism inducing the sudden change of the weather system is the southward moving of the northwestly jet over the central Asia at 300 hPa. The changing high-level trough from backward to forward was unfavorable for the upward air motion. With the real time data, the reasons for forecasting failure are analyzed. The unexpected evolvement of the high level trough and the underestimated changing of the low-level path of the cold air as well as the amount of warm air are the main reasons for the forecast failure.

    [Abstract](1587) [HTML](0) [PDF 126.68 K](2464)
    Abstract:
    An analysis was made of observed data around the Qinghai Lake from 1961 to 2000, and the results show that the climatic tendencies of the annual and seasonal air temperature and surface evaporation and summer and winter precipitation change were all positive, while the climatic tendencies of spring and autumn precipitation change were negative. The tendencies of temperature rising and surface evaporation increasing were more significant, while the tendency of precipitation increasing was less obvious and its inter-annual change was slightly greater. The meteorological factors such as air temperature and surface evaporation shows the tendency of transiting toward warm and dry, which is the main cause of the falling water level of the Qinghai Lake.

    [Abstract](1375) [HTML](0) [PDF 137.62 K](1856)
    Abstract:
    Based on winter wheat and summer corn growth regularities in Henan Province and application experiences in optimal irrigation techniques for winter wheat, as well as observed soil moisture data for winter wheat and summer corn from 1994 to 2000, a computer model of soil water prediction and optimal irrigation of winter wheat and summer corn was set up according to the soil water balance equation. The model results were verified by the observed data from wheat fields in Zhengzhou in 1998 and 1999. The relative errors of soil moisture for the next 10, 20, 30 days are -7.3% to 7.7%, -8.3% to 6.8%,-7.6% to 7.7%, respectively. It indicates that soil water can be predicted in one month ahead accurately with this model. Some irrigation suggestions with respect to different wheat and corn growth phases are given, aiming to obtain the maximum yield and the optimal economic benefits.
