It is found that the two variables show opposite trends on a decadal time scale: frequency of rainstorms increases significantly after the 1990 s, while summer precipitation in East China decreases during the same period. Analysis of the spatial distribution of summer rainstorm frequency from 1961 to 2010 indicates that it decreases from the southeast to the northwest at the east edge of the large-scale topography associated with the plateaus. Spatial distribution of rainstorms with daily rainfall greater than 50 mm is characterized by a "high in the southeast and low in the northwest" pattern, similar to the staircase distribution of the topography. However, the spatial distribution of variation in both summer precipitation and frequency of extreme rainstorms under global warming differs significantly from the three-step staircase topography. It is shown that moisture characteristics of summer precipitation and extreme rainstorms during the monsoon season in East China, including moisture transport pathways, moist flow pattern, and spatial structure of the merging area of moist flows, differ significantly. Areas of frequent rainstorms include the Yangtze River Valley and South China. Column-integrated moisture transport and its spatial structure could be summarized as a "merging" of three branches of intense moist flows from low and middle latitude oceans, and "convergence" of column-integrated moisture fluxes. The merging area for moist flow associated with rainstorms in the high frequency region is located slightly to the south of the monsoonal precipitation or non-rainstorm precipitation, with significantly strong moisture convergence. In addition, the summer moist flow pattern in East China has a great influence on the frequency of extreme rainstorms. Moisture flux vectors in the region of frequent rainstorms correspond to vortical flow pattern. A c展开更多

The tendency equation of DP is derived in pressure coordinates. Furthermore, DP is used to diagnose the deformation character of moisture flux circulation in the periphery of Bilis. The analysis showed that before Bilis landed, DP presented eight abnormal areas, which distributed alternately and closely encircled the low-pressure center. This indicated that the moisture flux circulation in the periphery of Bills rotated counterclockwise and stretched longitudinally and latitudinally to deform. After Bilis landed, DP weakened gradually and its regular pattern of horizontal distribution loosened. The shear and stretching deformations of moisture flux circulation surrounding Bilis weakened after the typhoon landed. The deformation of moisture flux circulation in the periphery of Bilis mainly appeared in the middle-lower troposphere. There existed 1/2 phase difference between the shear and stretching deformations in the vertical-latitudinal cross section and a π/4 phase difference between them on the horizontal plane. As Bilis landed and further moved inland of China, the intensities of DP, shear and stretching deformations decreased, meanwhile their vertical and horizontal structures became irregular. The chief dynamic factors responsible for the deformation of moisture flux circulation in the periphery of Bilis were the three terms associated with the three-dimensional advection transportation of DP, square difference between shear and stretching deformations coupling with Coriolis parameter, and horizontal gradient of geopotential height before Bilis landed. The last two dynamic factors impacted jointly on the deformation of moisture flux circulation after Bilis landed.展开更多

In order to understand the cause of the anomalous precipitation during the two winters, a comparative analysis technique has been employed to investigate the differences in general circulation and moisture transportation between the two seasons. The results show that the abundant rainfall during the winter of 1997/1998 was associated with the ENSO warm episode event, eastward shifted weak westerly trough/ridge, weakened East Asian winter monsoon （EAWM）, strengthened subtropical high, and presented two anti-cyclonic circulations over Hokkaido and the Philippine Sea, respectively, as well as one cyclonic circulation over the Yangtze River Basin in the anomalous wind fields of the lower troposphere. During the rain-scarce winter, however, the patterns of equatorial sea surface temperature anomalies and the circulation systems both in upper and lower levels were nearly the opposite of those during the rain-abundant winter. It has also been discovered that the water vapor over southern China during the winters came mainly from the southwesterly flow ahead of troughs in the southern branch of westerlies and the turning flow over the South China Sea-Indo-China Peninsula area; and the moisture transportation channels varied significantly with regard to height. The intensified flow in the southern branch of westerlies and the anti-cyclonic circulation anomaly over the Philippine Sea during the winter of 1997/1998 were favorable for moisture transportation to China's Mainland, however the two moisture transportation streams were dramatically weakened during the winter of 1998/1999 due to weak westerly flow and the dominance of a cold high system in the lower level over the southeast coast of China. Such a significant inter-annual change of moisture transportation is a key factor resulting in the obvious difference in precipitation between the tw展开更多

文摘A record-breaking heavy rainfall swept across Suizhou of Hubei province in China on August 12,2021.It was characterized by suddenness and extremeness and caused severe socio-economic losses.To deepen the understanding of such an urban rainstorm and to improve the forecasting ability,this study revealed the dominant atmospheric circulation and moisture sources for this event.We performed a Lagrangian model FLEXPART to understand this event in terms of moisture sources and transport trajectories.Three key circulation systems affecting this extreme event were identified,including the western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH),the low-level southwesterly jet and an anticyclone over northern China.The low-level jet was lifted along the northern dry and cold air mass to form a front,resulting in the heavy rain.The moisture sources located on land contributed about 64%of the moisture.The development of the low-level southwesterly jet in southern China was strengthened near the time of the precipitation occurrence,providing the main moisture supply.Southern China(23°-32.5°N,98°-122°E)was the most important source region,which contributed the most to the precipitation(43.6%).The results highlight the prominent role of the terrestrial water cycle in this extreme precipitation event over Hubei.

文摘The winters of 1997/1998 and 1998/1999, corresponding to E1 Nifio and La Nina episodes, respectively, were two typical rain-abundant and -scarce seasons for the southern China. In order to understand the cause of the anomalous precipitation during the two winters, a comparative analysis technique has been employed to investigate the differences in general circulation and moisture transportation between the two seasons. The results show that the abundant rainfall during the winter of 1997/1998 was associated with the ENSO warm episode event, eastward shifted weak westerly trough/ridge, weakened East Asian winter monsoon （EAWM）, strengthened subtropical high, and presented two anti-cyclonic circulations over Hokkaido and the Philippine Sea, respectively, as well as one cyclonic circulation over the Yangtze River Basin in the anomalous wind fields of the lower troposphere. During the rain-scarce winter, however, the patterns of equatorial sea surface temperature anomalies and the circulation systems both in upper and lower levels were nearly the opposite of those during the rain-abundant winter. It has also been discovered that the water vapor over southern China during the winters came mainly from the southwesterly flow ahead of troughs in the southern branch of westerlies and the turning flow over the South China Sea-Indo-China Peninsula area; and the moisture transportation channels varied significantly with regard to height. The intensified flow in the southern branch of westerlies and the anti-cyclonic circulation anomaly over the Philippine Sea during the winter of 1997/1998 were favorable for moisture transportation to China's Mainland, however the two moisture transportation streams were dramatically weakened during the winter of 1998/1999 due to weak westerly flow and the dominance of a cold high system in the lower level over the southeast coast of China. Such a significant inter-annual change of moisture transportation is a key factor resulting in the obvious difference in precipitation between the tw
