海气耦合模式CESM1中热带印度洋SST模拟偏差的来源分析

热带海表温度(SST)模拟偏差是困扰海气耦合模式发展的经典问题之一,其原因仍不完全清晰。针对海气耦合模式CESM1(Community Earth System Model version 1)模拟的热带印度洋SST偏差,我设计了单独大气-陆面模式、单独海洋-海冰模式以及海气耦合模式等一系列数值实验。在此基础上,采用大气-陆面模式和海洋-海冰模式隐式(implicit)SST偏差的分析方法,诊断了CESM1模拟的热带印度洋SST偏差的来源,并分析了大气模式和海洋模式中影响热带印度洋上层海温模拟的主要因素。通过分析热带印度洋不同地区SST的模拟偏差来源,发现耦合模式CESM1中孟加拉湾SST模拟偏冷主要是由海洋-海冰模式中过强的垂直混合、平流作用等海洋动力偏差引起的。在阿拉伯海和赤道西印度洋,过多的潜热释放导致SST降低,大气-陆面模式模拟误差是这两个海域SST冷偏差的主要来源。对于赤道中印度洋,潜热通量偏差和垂直混合、平流作用等模拟误差共同影响上层海水温度,潜热释放偏少、海水垂直混合偏弱以及经向平流向南输送过多暖水使耦合模式模拟的赤道中印度洋SST出现暖偏差,而在赤道东印度洋,模拟的SST偏冷是由大气-陆面模式中短波辐射偏少和海洋-海冰模式中海水垂直混合过强引起的,潜热通量偏差影响较小。分析表明,耦合模式中海气相互作用只影响SST模拟偏差的大小,但不是引起SST偏差的根本原因。

Variations of SST and Thermocline Depth in the Tropical Indian Ocean During Indian Ocean Dipole Events

Interannual variations in the surface and subsurface tropical Indian Ocean were studied using HadlSST and SODA datasets. Wind and heat flux datasets were used to discuss the mechanisms for these variations. Our results indicate that the surface and subsurface variations of the tropical Indian Ocean during Indian Ocean Dipole （IOD） events are significantly different. A prominent characteristic of the eastern pole is the SSTA rebound after a cooling process, which does not take place at the subsurface layer. In the western pole, the surface anomalies last longer than the subsurface anomalies. The subsurface anomalies are strongly correlated with ENSO, while the relationship between the surface anomalies and ENSO is much weaker. And the subsurface anomalies of the two poles are negatively correlated while they are positively correlated at the surface layer. The wind and surface heat flux analysis suggests that the thermocline depth variations are mainly determined by wind stress fields, while the heat flux effect is important on SST.

PRELIMINARY RESEARCH OF THE PACIFIC-INDIAN OCEAN SSTA MODE AND DEFINITION OF ITS INDEX

Applying the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis to the sea surface temperature (SST) field of the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans for determination of the first eigenvector field, the current work reveals that there are significant zonal gradients of SST in all seasons of the year in the northwestern and eastern Indian Ocean and equatorial central and eastern Pacific and western Pacific. It is also found that the variance contribution rates of the first EOF mode of every season is more than 33%. This shows that this kind of spatial distribution of the SST is stable. This pattern is named Pacific-Indian Oceans SSTA mode. Through careful analysis and comparison, an index of the mode was defined.

东亚夏季PJ遥相关型的年际及年代际变化机理

利用夏季东亚地区500 h Pa高度场和菲律宾附近的降水场进行SVD分析,将东亚500 h Pa高度场对应的时间序列定义为PJ指数,该指数不仅清楚地反映PJ型的年际变化,而且反应出PJ型的年代际变化,即500 h Pa高度场型态在20世纪70年代末由"气旋、反气旋、气旋"型突变为"反气旋、气旋、反气旋"型。本文研究表明PJ指数的年际变化与ENSO事件有密切的联系:El Ni1o事件通过电容器充电效应使印度洋海温增暖,而增暖的印度洋海温在菲律宾海附近强迫出异常反气旋,并沿东亚沿岸激发出PJ遥相关型。而PJ型态的年代际变化与热带印度洋SST的持续增暖有关。虽然许多学者认为是菲律宾附近海温异常引起对流异常,并沿东亚沿岸激发出PJ遥相关型,但我们认为该区域的海温变化并不是造成PJ型年际和年代际变化的原因,而是由于该区域有反气旋(或者气旋)异常,从而辐射增加(减少),蒸发减弱(增加),温跃层下降(上升),SST变暖(变冷),该区域的海温变暖意味着对流是减弱的。本文进一步利用大气环流模式ECHAM5.4进行数值试验,结果表明:当热带印度洋增暖时,在菲律宾海附近强迫出反气旋,并沿东亚激发出"反气旋、气旋、反气旋"PJ遥相关型。
