To improve understanding of these physical processes, a multi-location joint atmospheric experiment was performed over the Tibetan Plateau from late July to August in 2018, funded by the fiveyear(2018–2022) STEAM(stratosphere and troposphere exchange experiment during ASM) project, during which multiple platforms/instruments—including long-duration stratospheric balloons, dropsondes, unmanned aerial vehicles, special sounding systems, and ground-based and satellite-borne instruments—will be deployed. These complementary methods of data acquisition are expected to provide comprehensive atmospheric parameters(aerosol, ozone, water vapor, CO_2, CH_4, CO, temperature, pressure,turbulence, radiation, lightning and wind); the richness of this approach is expected to advance our comprehension of key mechanisms associated with thermal, dynamical, radiative, and chemical transports over the Tibetan Plateau during ASM activity.展开更多

A nested high-resolution mesoscale model was employed to investigate the effect of orography on the stratosphere-troposphere exchange. The model was found to be able to capture plausible tropopause fold properties. The propagation of the tropopause fold changed significantly when the terrain height in the model was altered. However, decreasing the terrain height had no significant effect on the morphology of folds. When a fold passed over an elevated surface, a leeside jet stream and a layer of humid air in the middle troposphere tended to develop. This strong leeside descent of air masses and high mid-level potential instability （PI） could give rise to deep upward motions in the leeside and inject tropospheric air into the lower stratosphere. Besides, when the flow encounters an elevated surface, forced lifting together with mid-level PI can trigger deep convective motions on the windward slope. The troposphere to stratosphere transport was found to be persistent and almost stationary over the windward slope of the TP during the evolution of the fold.展开更多

Using this method, we estimated the cross-tropopause ozone flux in a stratospheric-tropospheric exchange event that occurred over East Asia in March 2001.The result revealed that the ozone flux across the tropopause in this event was an order of magnitude higher than the global and hemispheric average. Compared to the traditional method using a linear relationship between ozone mixing ratio and potential vorticity near the tropopause, the cross-tropopause ozone flux evaluated with ozonesonde data was somewhat higher, although the orders of the two values were the same.展开更多

文摘夏季是深对流多发的季节,深对流在STE(Stratosphere Troposphere Exchange,对流层—平流层交换)过程中起着重要作用。对2005—2012年夏季我国及周边地区的深对流统计发现,2009年深对流发生的次数较少,2010年深对流发生的次数较多。通过拉格朗日输送模式对2009年和2010年夏季的大气运动状态进行模拟并统计分析,发现30°N以南和以北的地区具有明显不同的平流层—对流层交换特征,30°N以北我国及周边地区TST(Troposphere to Stratosphere Transport,对流层向平流层输送)和STT(Stratosphere to Troposphere Transport,平流层向对流层输送)较为活跃,30°N以南远没有30°N以北地区活跃,但其净输送量却大致相当。在30°N以南,6—8月净输送是对流层向平流层输送。在30°N以北,6月净输送是平流层向对流层输送,7—8月净输送是对流层向平流层输送。比较深对流出现较少的2009年夏季和深对流出现较多的2010年夏季的TST和TST-STT,发现2010年6—8月这3个月的TST和TST-STT总量都超过2009年,表明2010年夏季我国及周边地区对流层向平流层的输送和净输送都强于2009年,与深对流活动的多少可能表现出正相关。
