    Abstract:
    高山雷达站天线高度对雷达的垂直探测范围影响较大,加之中小尺度灾害性天气演生、发展的关键区域在高度1500~4500m左右,所以高山雷达站在选址时应考虑当地零度层平均高度和雷达的垂直探测范围。通过定量估测层状云降水的个例实践,发现探测高度会限制定量估测降水,探测高度对近距离降水估测影响较小,但对远距离降水估测影响较大,原因主要是雷达的垂直探测范围及当地零度层亮带高度的影响。故在高山雷达站选址中应考虑雷达的垂直探测范围及当地零度层亮带高度的影响,同时对已建设完成的高山天气雷达应考虑对高山雷达做0。仰角的观测可行性研究。

    [Abstract](1800) [HTML](0) [PDF 124.45 K](1921)
    Abstract:
    A forecast model for long-term weather forecast is established in terms of a BP neural network using solar-lunar positions as input factors. The results of the operational experiments show that the model is superior compared to the model using solar-lunar position probability directly. The forecasting capability of the model based on the BP neural network technology is good for relatively large rainfall and temperature-increasing/decreasing weather processes. It is an important and useful model for operational forecasting practice at present.

    [Abstract](1931) [HTML](0) [PDF 1.22 M](1663)
    Abstract:
    By means of high-resolution MRI TBB data and NCEP reanalyzed data,an analysis is made of 13 frontal large-scale rainstorm processes influenced by the summer monsoon system in flood season(May to July) from 1980 to 2002 in Guangxi Autonomous Region.Through composite analysis combining with case studies,the evolutionary characteristics of the influencing systems(upper-level jet, low-level jet,South Asia High,etc.) and the dynamical and vapor characteristics of rainstorms are analyzed by using the high-resolution TBB data.The results indicate that Guangxi locates,during rainstorms,in the positive divergent area within the right exit region of the high-level jet,the intensive updraft region at 500 hPa,to the left side of the low-level jet;the coupling between highlevel and low-level jets is the trigger mechanism of rainstorms;further more,the analysis of wet potential vorticity indicates that heavy rainstorms are more likely to occur while the vertical component of moist potential vorticity being less than 0 and the vertical component of moist potential vorticity at the isobaric surface being greater than 0 near 700 hPa.

    [Abstract](1356) [HTML](0) [PDF 140.52 K](1554)
    Abstract:
    Using the data of North Pacific SST,subtropical high characteristic indices and deluges in Hubei Province from 1951 to 1994,a detailed investigation is made on the relationship between deluges in Hubei Province and North Pacific SST,and subtropical high characteristic indices.The results show that there is close relationship between the abnormality of SST in several key regions and deluges.Especially the abnormal distribution of subtropical high in spring and early summer is the main factor influencing deluges in Hubei Province.Besides,the abnormal changes of SST and subtropical high are closely connected: the former is about 1 to 3 months earlier than the latter.Using the statistic analysis method,the models are established by using sea temperature and subtropical high characteristic factors respectively to predict heavy waterlogging over Hubei.The models were put to trial use in Hubei flood season.The result indicates that the heavy waterlogging in Hubei has close relation with air-sea interaction.The abnormality of the sea temperature over the North Pacific Ocean resulted in the abnormality of subtropical high,which caused heavy waterlogging over Hubei.

    [Abstract](1459) [HTML](0) [PDF 146.29 K](1752)
    Abstract:
    Using the drought/flood data from representative stations over the eastern Northwest China from 1470 to 2003 collected by the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, according to different features of terrain, physiognomy and climate, the eastern Northwest China is divided into three climatic regions. By means of statistic methods such as periodic analysis and coil3 wavelet transform, an analysis is made of the decadal variation of drought/flood index in three climatic regions and the difference among them. Results indicate that the spatial and temporal distribution features of drought/flood in three regions are different, and the variation trend and periods not only show consistency, but also exist obvious difference. The drought climate tended gradually to be normal or became wet in the north and the central parts of the area in past 534 years. From 1470 to 1724, the drought climate in the south part tended to be wet. However, after 1724, the wet climate became dry again. There are notable periods of 25 and 10 years in drought/flood in the three regions, respectively. In addition, there are obvious periods of 14 to 15 years in the central part. It is illustrated that the alternation of droughts and floodd is more distinct in the central part than those in the north and south parts.

    [Abstract](2891) [HTML](0) [PDF 163.14 K](2032)
    Abstract:
    Based on the 51-year annual precipitation data of Ningbo from 1953 to 2003,a detailed analysis is performed by means of several diagnosis methods,including EOF,climatic abrupt change testing,Mexico hat wavelet and spectrum analysis.The results show that annual rainfall amount across the city tends to descend from the southwest to north-northeast,which accords with the topographic features of the city;the difference between maximum and minimum precipitation is about 400 mm.EOF1 of spatial characteristic vectors indicates that the annual precipitation of all the seven weather stations has a coincident tendency.Ningbo experienced an abrupt climate change in annual precipitation during the late 1960's and the early 1970's,and another significant change took place in recent years.The annual precipitation has been less than normal since the beginning of the 21st century with the minimum in 2003.There is a quasi-four year periodicity in annual precipitation.

    [Abstract](1369) [HTML](0) [PDF 728.12 K](1846)
    Abstract:
    An analysis is made of a persistent heavy rainfall process in Yunnan occurred from 18 to 20 in May 2004 by means of MICAPS data and FY-2 satellite cloud pictures. It is found out that main influencing weather systems include the Bay of Bengal Tropical Cyclone, shear line on 700 hPa, and cold front on the ground. The incursion of clod air into the periphery circumfluence of the Bay of Bengal Tropical Cyclone resulted in the strong development of the precipitation system. The plentiful vapor and strong ascending motion brought by the Bay of Bengal Tropical Cyclone, as well as the unstable atmosphere of high temperature and high humidity, provided favorable conditions for the development of the heavy rainfall. The maintaining mechanisms of the heavy rainfall also include the establishment and maintenance of the upper- and lower-level jets, and the continual triggering of strong frontogenesis.

    2006, 34(3):286.
    [Abstract](1528) [HTML](0) [PDF 224.58 K](1752)
    Abstract:
    Through analyzing the weather situation, a local torrential rain event is analyzed in detail based on the intensity and velocity data from Doppler weather radar as well as vertical wind profilers and two dimensional wind fields derived from velocity data. It is found out that this highly convective local torrential rainfall was caused by both large-scale and mesoscale weather systems. The large-scale circulation provided abundant vapors for the torrential rain; the stratification in Bejing was very unstable, which is a necessary condition for the severe storms; and the low-level mesoscale convergence line triggered and intensified the convection.

    [Abstract](1571) [HTML](0) [PDF 268.25 K](1950)
    Abstract:
    An analysis is made of the process of a hail-storm event occurred in Shandong Province on 27 September 2002. The primary results indicate that the main influencing systems include the southward movement of an upper-level cold trough in cooperation with the low-level shear line and the frontal zone on the ground. The cold advection in the upper air and the warm advection in the lower level resulted in the large-scale unstable zone of potential energy from the middle-level to the low-level of the troposphere. The coupling of a meso-scale low pressure and the divergence zone of an upper-level jet caused strong upward motion. This is a typical small super-cell storm. The mesocyclone is found in the storm by analyzing the radar echo.

    [Abstract](1254) [HTML](0) [PDF 121.76 K](1570)
    Abstract:
    Owing to the improvement of farmland irrigation in the recent 30 years,the present soil moisture data cannot reflect the variation regularity of natural soil moisture.The variation(gain and loss) of soil moisture is calculated on a ten-day base by using the soil moisture balance equation and the Penman formula.Compared to the soil moisture data without irrigation from 2001 to 2003,the fitting equation and drought index are established and the drought series from 1970 to 2001 on a ten-day base is reconstructed.The results show that the effect of irrigation is well filtrated out in the calculated drought series,which is very close to the natural soil moisture.

    [Abstract](1725) [HTML](0) [PDF 121.15 K](2341)
    Abstract:
    A brief introduction is made to the characteristics, structure, and phase stability requirement of the low-phase noise Doppler weather radar transmitter, as well as the key technique problems in having transmitter meet the requirement of the pulse Doppler weather radar. To improve the phase noise, several technique used in the transmitter, including the full-solid modulator, flyback electrification, electrification verification, and synchronous AC square-wave steady-current power supply and so on. An analyzed are made of the main factors that influence the inspecting performance of the pulse Doppler weather radar and the side-band phase noise resulted from the effect of the autoeciousness modulator on the RF pulse signals. The analysis results indicate that the unneeded autoeciousness modulation and noise are produced by a series of sources, and the main factors influencing the phasic stability of the Doppler weather radar include RF-Driven sources, power-supply ripple waves, pulse time jitter, amplitude modulation, microphonic effect, electromagnet induction, electromagnetic interference radiation sources, etc. These unneeded side-band noises limit the sounding capability in clutter of theDopplerweather radar.

    2006, 34(3):336.
    [Abstract](1499) [HTML](0) [PDF 155.84 K](1792)
    Abstract:
    An automatic weather station can directly measure the rainfall of a single station or within a small range with higher precision,but it often omits severe rainfall centers or gusts because of its inadequate distribution density.Radars can probe the structure of clouds and precipitation,trace them from beginning to the end in real time,and provide the real-time precipitation of a specific region rapidly,but their measurement errors are relatively large and the precision of local rainfall measurements is not high.Combining automatic weather stations with radars,applying mathematical methods and GIS techniques,the areal rainfall that represents the mean rainfall of a specific region can be obtained.As an example of deducing the areal rainfall,the regression relationship between six-minute accumulative rain by automatic weather stations and radar echoes over Shenzhen is established by means of GIS techniques and the geographic modification of the three factors(longitude,latitude,and sea level elevation).The calculation model of the area rainfall of a specific area on radar map is developed;and then the high-precision high-resolution(spatial) grid fitting rainfall is gained;thus the areal rainfall distribution of a specific area from radar map is obtained.

    [Abstract](1526) [HTML](0) [PDF 105.93 K](1815)
    Abstract:
    The faults of CINRAD/SA radar occurred in one year of operation in Shijiazhuang are analyzed statisticaUy, and the common warning massages and faults, as well as the countermeasures, are introduced. It is pointed out that the running status of CINRAD/SA has close relation with the communication network, computers, and environment temperature of radar. The local environment has obvious influence on the working conditions of radar. Faults are found more frequently in the transmitter, antenna, and control system, which are key parts of routine maintenance. In order to ensure the normal running of radar, it is important to have a safe network management system, high-performance computers, good maintenance, and optimum environment.

    2006, 34(3):349-352.
    [Abstract](1778) [HTML](0) [PDF 139.85 K](1753)
    Abstract:
    The CE318 sun photometers are installed at 20 weather stations, which constituted the dust storm network for monitoring aerosol by the China Meteorological Administration since 2002. These measurements have not been well utilized because users are unfamiliar with the principles, data format and retrieval methodology of CE318 sun photometers. The impact of aerosol on climate and the application of data observed by photometers are discussed. At the same time, the retrieval method of sun photometer data, including the calibration and retrieval of aerosol optical depth and the quality control of data, is introduced. Combing with data at Tazhong, the Langley method for calculating the aerosol optical depth and the related issues are described.
