青藏高原低涡研究的回顾与展望

Review and Prospect of Research on the Tibetan Plateau Vortex

青藏高原低涡是青藏高原地区特有的产物,是夏季高原上的主要降水系统,而东移出高原的低涡,又往往引发青藏高原下游地区一次大范围的灾害性天气过程。全面回顾了20世纪70年代后期以来,青藏高原气象学研究领域中有关高原低涡的研究进展,按天气学、动力学和数值模拟3方面对有关研究进行了分类,简要总结了各类研究涉及的重要问题及主要成果。在此基础上分析了存在的主要问题,展望了今后高原低涡研究的重要方向和基本趋势。

The Tibetan Plateau vortex is the peculiar production over the Tibetan Plateau. It is the main rainfall system of the Tibetan Plateau in summer. The vortex moving east out of the plateau always gives rise to a large - scale severe weather process in the downstream area of the Tibetan Plateau. The research progress of plateau vortex in the field of Tibetan Plateau meteorology since late 1970s in 20th century is entirely reviewed in this paper. The research is classified into three aspects： synoptic meteorology, dynamics and numerical simulation, and the problems and major achievements of the research are summarized. On the basis of above, it is tried to analyze the existent problems, and to prospect the direction and trend of research on plateau vortex in the future.
