    2005, 33(3):193-198.
    [Abstract](1638) [HTML](0) [PDF 145.74 K](3039)
    Abstract:
    The advancement in the researches on the influence of volcanic eruptions on climate and the main conclusions and progress obtained from statistical analysis and numerical simulation is summarized. Present studies show that major eruptions can produce a decrease in surface air temperature. Due to the seasonal difference of volcanic activities, latitude and intensities, the spatial distribution and the effect on radiation vary. Consequently, the time and augmentation of temperature decrease are not consistent. The volcanic eruptions at the high latitudes mainly influence the same hemisphere, and those at low and middle latitudes influence the both hemispheres. The impact of volcanic eruptions is more obvious at the low latitudes than at the high latitudes, and more obvious in summer than in winter. The influence of volcanic eruptions on precipitation is relatively complex, and there is no consistent conclusion due to the weak volcanic signals in the precipitation series and the influence of other factors such as ENSO.

    [Abstract](1312) [HTML](0) [PDF 169.69 K](1544)
    Abstract:
    By means of the sliding-window Chebyshev expansion technique, the objective forecast model (OFM) of heavy rainfall from May to June in the Jianyan station was developed in order to improve the capability of single-station rainfall forecasting. The results show that the objective forecast factors have clear meteorological meaning though simple and the advantages of high prediction accuracy and good stability; the characteristics of the weather patterns at three levels for various models exhibit the reasonable vertical collocations favorable to rainfall process development. The trial use in 2000 and 2002 indicates that the average accuracy of rainfall prediction of OFM is about 50% higher than that of the subjective, and there is no failure in 3 years, especially no miss and failure in 2003. It is indicated that the model is efficient and applicable for the improvement of single station rainfall prediction.

    [Abstract](1426) [HTML](0) [PDF 257.39 K](1725)
    Abstract:
    Tropical cyclones 7514 (Elsle), 7908 (Hope), and 0313 (Dujuan) were compared and analyzed with radar, long-wave radiation (OLR), ambient field, specific humidity field data, etc. The results show that the three typhoons with double eye walls have characteristics of regular and tight spiral cloud bands, strong Subtropical High and weak southwesterly at 850 hPa before landing, which resulted in the strong wind and less rainfall with an extensive influencing area. The long-wave radiation and the rain field have close relationship. All the low OLR centers of three typhoons didn't land, resulting in less rainfall on land. The low OLR centers of three typhoons corresponded to strong rain centers basically. The bigger the gradient of the specific humidity field is, the slower the typhoons moves, and the longer and stronger the rainfall.

    2005, 33(3):214-217.
    [Abstract](1416) [HTML](0) [PDF 191.84 K](1948)
    Abstract:
    A diagnostic analysis was made of a local lasting heavy rainstorm took place in the central part of Shaanxi Province on 28 June 1994. The heavy rainstorm appeared in the front of a 500 hPa trough near the shear line of a depression on the 700 hPa, happened in the superposed zone between the right divergence area around the entrance of the upper-troposphere jet and the left convergence area of the lower-troposphere jet, and was related with the mesoscale cyclone on the surface. The diagnostic results show that the mesoscale cyclone on the surface was caused by the sub-circulation resulted from the coupling of upper and lower jets and the sub-circulation controlled the development and change of mesoscale systems.

    2005, 33(3):218-221226.
    [Abstract](1433) [HTML](0) [PDF 157.42 K](1636)
    Abstract:
    The time-frequency structure of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in the Nino regions was studied with wavelet transform techniques using SST data from 1950 to 2003 over the Nino regions. The results show that there were multi-scaled structures nested one another in SSTA with varied scales of 2-7, 8-20 and over 30 years. The power of the warm/cold events was concentrated on the 2-7 year scales with the quasi-four year fluctuation being the most remarkable. The power and frequency structure of the same event are different in different Nino regions. The intensity of oscillations is increasing at all scales after 1970 and shows a tendency towards low frequencies.

    2005, 33(3):222.
    [Abstract](1636) [HTML](0) [PDF 172.03 K](2027)
    Abstract:
    An analysis was made of the Doppler radar products and the thunder-lighting parameters of a severe convective weather event occurred on 12 April 2003 over the central and the northern Jiangxi Province. Results show that the thunder-lightning parameters are more sensitive to the strong convection weather. The movement of the thunder-lightning zone corresponds with the moving track of the strong convective cell. The thunder-lightning frequency change indicates the different development phases of the severe convective weather event. The type of convection can be identified through thunder-lightning polarity change. Therefore, the thunder-lightning parameters can be used in weather forecasting in combination with radar echo data and satellite cloud pictures.

    2005, 33(3):231-234.
    [Abstract](1678) [HTML](0) [PDF 138.01 K](3115)
    Abstract:
    The correction and interpolation were conducted on the radiation observation in Mojiaquanwan and Yushu around Xining, and the spatial distribution and inter-annual variation of solar radiation were analyzed systematically. The results stows that the global radiation is relatively high over the Qinghai Plateau and the distribution shows a tendency of higher in the West is and lower in the East; the global radiation value was higher in the 1970's and obvious low in the 1980's, increased again from the end of the 1980's to the beginning of 1990's, but decreased after the middle 1990's. The high and low periods in the 1970s and 1980s are closely related to the cloud amount and precipitation over Qinghai Province and volcanic eruptions across the world during the same periods. Volcanic eruption was an important cause of the decrease in solar radiation.

    2005, 33(3):256-259.
    [Abstract](1383) [HTML](0) [PDF 242.69 K](1627)
    Abstract:
    Based on the PMS data obtained during a returning process, the inhomogeneity of stratiform clouds in returning processes was analyzed from the aspect of microphysical structure. It is found that when the aircraft flies into stronger precipitating cloud bands, the main cloud physical parameters (liquid water content, particle mean diameter and concentration, and temperature) change greatly; the liquid water content, the mean diameter and the particle concentration leap up; spectrum width becomes wider; temperature drops; and so on. In the stronger cloud band, temperature variation is smaller and meanwhile temperature is lower. The stronger precipitating cloud bands have abundant ice crystals, indicating better natural seeding potential.

    [Abstract](1649) [HTML](0) [PDF 100.90 K](1625)
    Abstract:
    The use of the ground-based GPS observation technology for estimating precipitable water vapor (PWV) is a brand-new technique developed in the 1990s. An efficient data communication network can help download data in real time and control the GPS receiver remotely and provide the essential technical support for the operational use of ground-based GPS data. The GPS communication and remote control system was developed by using a modem and the public switch telephone network (PSTN). Adopting the dialing approach, the system configures the GPS receiver specified by the GPS water vapor remote sensing network and downloads the data stored in the receiver. The application of this communication system can enhance the maintainability of the system and facilitate the operational application of the GPS water vapor remote sensing network. However, there are still some problems in the system needed to be solved such as low speed and manual control.
