摘要
北极极涡是一个存在于极区对流层中上层和平流层的大尺度气旋性环流系统,是极区大气运动的主要特征。赤道平流层风场的准两年振荡,可以对行星波的传播进行调制,从而对北极极涡的强度产生影响。为了定量描述,赤道平流层风场的准两年振荡对北极极涡的影响,我们对表征北极极涡强度的55–65°N纬度带平流层纬向风进行了分析,提取出了北极极涡中的准两年振荡信号,并发现了该信号的纬向不均一性,120–180°E为高值区,25–45°E为低值区。
To investigate the impacts of the quasi-biennial oscillation （QBO） on high-latitude circulation and the Arctic vortex, stratospheric zonal wind at 55-65°N is analyzed. The seasonal cycle, solar cycle, and linear trend in the zonal wind at these latitudes are analyzed and removed, and the QBO signal is retrieved from the monthly zonal wind for the period 1979-2014. The zonal wind has a strong decreasing trend in winter, with a maximum decrease （less than -0.35 m s-1 yr-1） occurring within 70-100°E. The zonal wind has an in-phase response of 1.6 m s-1 to the solar cycle, with a maximum within 100-140°E. A clear QBO signal is detected in the zonal wind during the period 1979-2014, with an amplitude of 2.5 m s-1 and a period of 30 months. The latitudinal distribution of the QBO signal is inhomogeneous, with a maximum within 120-180°E and a minimum within 25-45°E.
