中纬度中尺度对流系统研究的若干进展

A Number of Advances of the Research on Midlatitude Mesoscale Convective Systems

中尺度对流系统 (MCSs)与许多严重的气象灾害 ,特别是我国的暴雨洪涝密切相关。本文主要对中纬度中尺度对流系统研究的若干进展作了简要综述 ,其中包括 :MCSs的时空分布 ;MCCs的平均生成环境 ;MCSs的组织模型和逆尺度演变 ;发展中的MCSs与其环境的相互作用 ;MCSs的动力学和不稳定度 ;MCSs的数值模拟 ;MβCS和MγCS的观测和模拟 ;MCSs的概念模型 ;MCSs的结构和机制研究的观测计划。我们希望通过本文有助于进一步了解有关中纬度MCSs的发生、发展、结构。

Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are in close relationship with many severe meteorological disasters, particularly, heavy rainfall flooding in China. A briefly comprehensive review for a number of advances in the research of midlatitude MCSs is presented in this paper. In which include: The temperal and spatial distribution of MCSs; the mean genesis environments of MCSs; the organizational modes and upscale evolutions of MCSs; the interactions between developing MCSs and their environments; the dynamics and instability of MCSs; the numerical simulations of MCSs; the observations and simulations of MβCSs and MγCSs; the conceptual model of MCSs; the observational projects of for studies on structure and mechanism of MCSs. We wish this paper is helpful for the reader interested in it to further understand some advances of the research concerning the genesis, developments, structures, mechanisms and conceptual model of midlatitude MCSs.
