Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of atmospheric science, and particularly relates to a method for characterizing the coordinated variation of polar front jet and subtropical westerly jet. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, the methods for characterizing the coordinated variation of polar front jet (PJ) and subtropical westerly jet (SJ) mainly include two types: the first type is the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method, which decomposes the average wind field by the EOF method, extracts the first two modes to represent the different states of the coordinated variation of the double jets, and the method depends on the time and space range of the analysis field, and the obtained modes are significantly affected by the time length and spatial resolution of the data. The second type is the single variable index method, which defines the jet radial position index according to the latitude of the maximum wind speed in the active area of the two jets, and represents the jet intensity by the total wind speed, and analyzes the coordinated variation by the relative size of the double indexes; this type of method only focuses on a single variable such as position or intensity, and cannot quantify the coupling relationship between the position and intensity of the double jets.

[0003] The prior art has the following defects: first, the EOF method cannot separate the coordinated variation characteristics of the jet position and intensity, and the single variable index method can only reflect a single physical quantity (such as position or intensity), ignores the position-intensity coupling effect, and misses the coordinated variable; second, the existing characterization results are restricted by the time and space range of the data, and it is difficult to meet the real-time monitoring requirements, and cannot support the extended period weather forecast and model evaluation, and the business application is limited; finally, the single variable index method lacks quantification ability for the "leading-lag response" and "seesaw" pattern of the north-south reverse displacement of the double jets, which leads to insufficient capture of the adjustment signal of the mid-high latitude circulation and insufficient description of the dynamic process.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the present embodiment provides a method for characterizing the coordinated variation of polar front jet and subtropical westerly jet, comprising:

[0042] S1, obtaining zonal wind data of the upper troposphere of a target region;

[0043] The target region is the East Asian region, the polar front jet active area is defined as 50°-70°N, and the subtropical westerly jet active area is defined as 25°-45°N.

[0044] The zonal wind data is derived from ERA-5 reanalysis data, with a time resolution of every 6 hours or every day and a horizontal resolution of 1°x1°.

[0047] Screening the area with a zonal wind speed ≥30m / s; wherein when the analysis period is summer, the wind speed threshold of the polar front jet active area is set to 25m / s.

[0048] Specifically, determining the jet active area: using the daily or 6-hour 300hPa zonal wind to calculate the wind speed maximum center of the global region, and the center wind speed value of the wind speed maximum center is ≥30m / s (considering the weak intensity of the polar front jet in summer, it can be relaxed to 25m / s); according to the jet center concentration area, record the latitude and longitude range.

[0049] S3, calculating the average value of the zonal wind in the polar front jet active area to obtain a polar front jet index PJ, and calculating the average value of the zonal wind in the subtropical westerly jet active area to obtain a subtropical jet index SJ;

[0050] Specifically, a jet collaborative change index is calculated: the average values of the zonal wind in the active areas of the two jets are calculated (the daily average, the candidate average, the monthly average, and the annual average can be calculated as appropriate), which are represented by the polar front jet index PJ and the subtropical westerly jet index SJ.

[0051] S4, the polar front jet index PJ and the subtropical jet index SJ are respectively standardized to obtain a standardized polar front jet index Std-PJI and a standardized subtropical jet index Std-SJI;

[0052] S5, a coordinate system is established with Std-SJI as the horizontal coordinate and Std-PJI as the vertical coordinate;

[0053] S6, according to the sign combination of Std-SJI and Std-PJI and the absolute value size relationship, the double-jet collaborative change is divided into eight phases.

[0054] Further, the sign combination is used to represent the jet position movement.

[0055] The absolute value size is used to represent the jet intensity.

[0056] The division rules of the eight phases include:

[0057] When Std-PJI≤0 and Std-SJI<0, if |Std-PJI|>|Std-SJI|, it is mode 1, and if |Std-PJI|≤|Std-SJI|, it is mode 2; wherein, mode 1 corresponds to a double-jet head-on mode dominated by the subtropical jet, and mode 2 corresponds to a double-jet head-on mode dominated by the polar front jet;

[0058] When Std-PJI<0 and Std-SJI≥0, if |Std-PJI|>|Std-SJI|, it is mode 3, and if |Std-PJI|≤|Std-SJI|, it is mode 4; wherein, mode 3 corresponds to a double-jet same direction southward mode dominated by the polar front jet, and mode 4 corresponds to a double-jet same direction southward mode dominated by the subtropical jet;

[0059] When Std-PJI≥0 and Std-SJI>0, if |Std-PJI|≤|Std-SJI|, it is mode 5, and if |Std-PJI|>|Std-SJI|, it is mode 6; wherein, mode 5 corresponds to a double-jet back-to-back mode dominated by the subtropical jet, and mode 6 corresponds to a double-jet back-to-back mode dominated by the polar front jet.

[0060] When Std-PJI> 0 and Std-SJI≤ 0, if |Std-PJI| > |Std-SJI|, it is mode 7, if |Std-PJI| ≤ |Std-SJI|, it is mode 8; wherein, mode 7 corresponds to the polar front jet dominated double jet same direction northward mode, mode 8 corresponds to the subtropical jet dominated double jet same direction northward mode.

[0061] Specifically, in order to simultaneously represent the cooperative variation characteristics of the two jets in terms of position and intensity, the absolute value of the index is used to represent the jet intensity, and the sign of the index is used to represent the jet position movement, according to the sign and the relative size of the absolute value of Std-PJI and Std-SJI. The cooperative variation of the two jets is divided into the following eight phases, different phases correspond to different jet intensity and position state, reflecting different mid-high latitude atmospheric circulation state:

[0062] Mode 1: dominated by subtropical jet, two jets move in opposite directions.

[0063] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI≤ 0 and Std-SJI< 0, if |Std-PJI| > |Std-SJI|, it is mode 1.

[0064] In terms of jet intensity: the subtropical jet is strong, and the polar front jet is weak.

[0065] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves towards the equator, and the subtropical westerly jet moves towards the pole.

[0066] Mode 2: dominated by polar front jet, two jets move in opposite directions.

[0067] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI≤ 0 and Std-SJI< 0, if |Std-PJI| ≤ |Std-SJI|, it is mode 2.

[0068] In terms of jet intensity: the polar front jet is strong, and the subtropical jet is weak.

[0069] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves towards the equator, and the subtropical westerly jet moves towards the pole.

[0070] Mode 3: dominated by polar front jet, two jets move in the same direction southward.

[0071] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI< 0 and Std-SJI≥ 0, if |Std-PJI| > |Std-SJI|, it is mode 3.

[0072] In terms of jet intensity: the polar front jet is strong, and the subtropical jet is weak.

[0073] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves equatorward while the subtropical jet moves equatorward.

[0074] Modality 4: The subtropical jet is dominant, and the two jets move southward.

[0075] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI < 0 and Std-SJI ≥ 0, if |Std-PJI| ≤ |Std-SJI| in the case of;

[0076] In the intensity of the jet: the subtropical jet is strong, and the polar front jet is weak.

[0077] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves equatorward while the subtropical jet moves equatorward.

[0078] Modality 5: The subtropical jet is dominant, and the two jets move away from each other.

[0079] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI ≥ 0 and Std-SJI > 0, if |Std-PJI| ≤ |Std-SJI| in the case of;

[0080] In the intensity of the jet: the subtropical jet is strong, and the polar front jet is weak.

[0081] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves equatorward while the subtropical jet moves equatorward.

[0082] Modality 6: The polar front jet is dominant, and the two jets move away from each other.

[0083] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI ≥ 0 and Std-SJI > 0, if |Std-PJI| > |Std-SJI| in the case of;

[0084] In the intensity of the jet: the polar front jet is strong, and the subtropical jet is weak.

[0085] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves equatorward while the subtropical jet moves equatorward.

[0086] Modality 7: The polar front jet is dominant, and the two jets move northward.

[0087] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI > 0 and Std-SJI ≤ 0, if |Std-PJI| > |Std-SJI| in the case of;

[0088] In the intensity of the jet: the polar front jet is strong, and the subtropical jet is weak.

[0089] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves equatorward while the subtropical jet moves equatorward.

[0090] Mode 8: Subtropical jet is dominant, and two jets move northward in the same direction.

[0091] That is, when the index appears Std-PJI> 0 and Std-SJI≤ 0, if |Std-PJI|≤ |Std-SJI|, the case is;

[0092] In terms of jet intensity: the subtropical jet is stronger, and the polar front jet is weaker.

[0093] From the radial position: the polar front jet and the subtropical jet move to the polar direction at the same time.

[0094] The comprehensive method of the coordinated variation of the polar front jet and the subtropical jet established by the application can better grasp the comprehensive characteristics of the position and intensity of the polar front jet and the subtropical westerly jet in the middle and high latitude regions, and can provide certain prediction basis for the occurrence and development of the extreme weather and climate events influenced by the coordinated variation of the jets, such as the occurrence and development of the Meiyu period in the Yangtze River Basin, and the occurrence and development of the persistent heavy rainfall event in the flood season.

[0095] Example 1:

[0096] Combined with the attached Figure 2 Taking the summer Meiyu period from 1979 to 2020 as an example, the radial position and intensity coordinated variation characteristics of the polar front jet and the subtropical westerly jet in the Meiyu period in East Asia in the past 42 years are analyzed. According to the specific situation, the analysis object can also be analyzed on the basis of annual, monthly, hourly and hourly data.

[0097] First step: clear the active key area of the polar front jet and the subtropical westerly jet.

[0098] Determine the distribution area of the two jets: use the 6-hourly 300 hPa zonal wind to calculate the wind speed center of East Asia, and when the wind speed center meets the following two conditions, it is recorded as a jet center: (a) the center wind speed value is greater than or equal to 30 m / s (since the summer polar front jet is weak, the threshold can be appropriately widened to 25 m / s); (b) the wind speed values of the 8 grid points around the wind speed center are less than the wind speed value of the wind speed center. Using the jet center distribution map of 42 years, the wind speed centers corresponding to high latitudes and middle and low latitudes correspond to the active areas of the polar front jet and the subtropical jet respectively, and the latitude range is recorded (such as shown in a of Figure 2 ).

[0099] Second step: establish a comprehensive index of the coordinated variation of the upper jet intensity and position.

[0100] Select the region related to Meiyu precipitation in the above region as the key region of the coordinated variation of the jets (such as Figure 2The average value of the zonal wind in the critical area of the jet stream is represented as the jet stream comprehensive index, the absolute value of the index represents the intensity of the jet stream, and the sign of the index represents the position of the jet stream, marked as EAPJI and EASJI. Further, the index is standardized and marked as Std-EAPJI and Std-EASJI.

[0101] Third step: comprehensive representation of the coordinated changes of the polar front jet and the subtropical westerly jet in radial position and intensity.

[0102] According to the sign and relative size of the absolute value of Std-EAPJI and Std-EASJI, Std-EASJI is defined as the X-axis coordinate, and Std-EAPJI is defined as the Y-axis coordinate. The coordinated changes of the two jets are defined as the following eight phases. Each phase corresponds to a different coordinated change state of the intensity and radial position of the jet stream. Calculating the jet stream index at different times will give the distribution in the phase diagram and the corresponding atmospheric background circulation conditions:

[0103] Mode 1: dominated by the subtropical jet, with the two jets moving in opposite directions.

[0104] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI≤0 and Std-EASJI<0, if |Std-EAPJI|>|Std-EASJI|, then

[0105] In terms of jet stream intensity: the subtropical jet is strong, and the polar front jet is weak.

[0106] In terms of radial position: the polar front jet moves towards the equator, and the subtropical westerly jet moves towards the pole.

[0107] Mode 2: dominated by the polar front jet, with the two jets moving in opposite directions.

[0108] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI≤0 and Std-EASJI<0, if |Std-EAPJI|≤|Std-EASJI|, then

[0109] In terms of jet stream intensity: the polar front jet is strong, and the subtropical jet is weak.

[0110] In terms of radial position: the polar front jet moves towards the equator, and the subtropical westerly jet moves towards the pole.

[0111] Mode 3: dominated by the polar front jet, with the two jets moving in the same direction towards the south.

[0112] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI<0 and Std-EASJI≥0, if |Std-EAPJI|>|Std-EASJI|, then

[0113] In the intensity of the jet stream: the polar front jet is stronger, the subtropical jet is weaker.

[0114] From the radial position: the polar front jet and the subtropical jet move to the equator at the same time.

[0115] Mode 4: The subtropical jet is dominant, and the two jets move southward in the same direction.

[0116] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI < 0 and Std-EASJI ≥ 0, if |Std-EAPJI| ≤ |Std-EASJI|, then

[0117] In the intensity of the jet stream: the subtropical jet is stronger, the polar front jet is weaker.

[0118] From the radial position: the polar front jet and the subtropical jet move to the equator at the same time.

[0119] Mode 5: The subtropical jet is dominant, and the two jets move away from each other.

[0120] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI ≥ 0 and Std-EASJI > 0, if |Std-EAPJI| ≤ |Std-EASJI|, then

[0121] In the intensity of the jet stream: the subtropical jet is stronger, the polar front jet is weaker.

[0122] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves to the polar direction and the subtropical westerly jet moves to the equator.

[0123] Mode 6: The polar front jet is dominant, and the two jets move away from each other.

[0124] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI ≥ 0 and Std-EASJI > 0, if |Std-EAPJI| > |Std-EASJI|, then

[0125] In the intensity of the jet stream: the polar front jet is stronger, the subtropical jet is weaker.

[0126] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves to the polar direction and the subtropical westerly jet moves to the equator.

[0127] Mode 7: The polar front jet is dominant, and the two jets move northward in the same direction.

[0128] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI > 0 and Std-EASJI ≤ 0, if |Std-EAPJI| > |Std-EASJI|, then

[0129] In the intensity of the jet stream: the polar front jet is stronger, the subtropical jet is weaker.

[0130] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves to the polar direction with the subtropical jet.

[0131] Mode 8: The subtropical jet is dominant, and the two jets move northward.

[0132] That is, when the index appears Std-EAPJI> 0 and Std-EASJI≤ 0, if |Std-EAPJI|≤ |Std-EASJI|, then

[0133] In terms of jet intensity: the subtropical jet is strong, and the polar front jet is weak.

[0134] From the radial position: the polar front jet moves to the polar direction with the subtropical jet.

[0135] Example 2:

[0136] This example focuses on East Asia. According to the polar front jet index EAPJI and the subtropical westerly jet index EASJI, the coordinated changes in the intensity and position of the two jets are divided into the following eight modes according to the above definition. These eight modes correspond to different jet coordination evolution patterns and different jet intensity changes. The jet coordination change index corresponds to the jet evolution trend, as shown in Table 1.

[0138]

[0139] Figure 3 The 300 hPa high-altitude wind field synthesis chart of the eight modes of East Asian jet coordination change. In mode 1 (a in Figure 3 , there are two centers of the subtropical westerly jet, and the jet shape slightly presents a northeast-southwest direction, with the jet main position obviously northward. At this time, the polar front jet is weak, and the position is southward. In mode 2 (b in Figure 3 , the subtropical jet center is westward, and the jet core over Xinjiang in China is strong, while the jet core in the northeast of China disappears. At the same time, the polar front jet center corresponding to this phase is located near the Okhotsk Sea. In mode 3 (c in Figure 3 , the subtropical westerly jet is weak, and the position is southward, with the center axis located near 35ºN, and the jet core appears over the Sea of Japan. The polar front jet distribution is similar to phase 2, but the intensity is slightly stronger. In mode 4 (d in Figure 3 , the subtropical jet is significantly strong, and the jet core over the Sea of Japan is enhanced, merging with the jet core over the western region of China to form a center controlling the Huang-Huai River basin, while the polar front jet position remains relatively southward, but the intensity is weak. In mode 5 (e in Figure 3e) in FIG. 6, the subtropical westerly jet is very strong, the main body of the jet is located in the Huang-Huai River basin of China, and the axis is located near 32ºN, and there is a merged jet core in the East Asian region. The polar front jet is located at a relatively high latitude, and the jet core is located in the northern part of the Siberian Plain. In mode 6 (f) in FIG. 6, Figure 3 the subtropical westerly jet region again appears two jet cores, which are located in the Huang-Huai River basin of China and over Xinjiang of China, respectively, and the overall intensity is weak. At this time, the polar front jet is strong and still located northward. In mode 7 (g) in FIG. 6, Figure 3 the jet core over Xinjiang of China is similar to that in phase 6, and the jet core in the Jianghuai River basin is weaker. The polar front jet corresponding to this phase controls the area north of Siberia. In mode 8 (h) in FIG. 6, Figure 4 the two weak jet centers of the subtropical westerly jet control the area near Xinjiang of China and the Northeast China. Compared with phase 7, the polar front jet in this phase has the same position, but the jet core intensity is weakened. The subtropical westerly jet is in a weak state, and the position is obviously northward, while the polar front jet axis basically maintains near 75ºN. The eight modes synthesized based on the jet coordination change comprehensive index clearly reflect the different characteristics of the coordination change of the East Asian polar front jet and the subtropical jet position and intensity.

[0140] In this embodiment, the eight phases are associated with the Meiyu period weather event; modes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 6 are related to the occurrence of Meiyu period precipitation.

[0141] When in mode 5, it is determined that it is a Meiyu period persistent heavy rain high-occurrence phase.

[0142] The Meiyu period event in a flood year is associated with mode 5, and the Meiyu period event in a drought year is associated with mode 4.

[0143] The present embodiment provides an application of the jet coordination change comprehensive index:

[0144] Meiyu is a unique product of the seasonal northward advance of the East Asian summer monsoon, and its occurrence and development will be significantly affected by the adjustment of the atmospheric circulation at middle and high latitudes. Next, the Meiyu period special weather and climate events will be used to test the indication ability of the jet comprehensive representation method for East Asian climate change. Figure 5 The relationship between the East Asian westerly jet coordination change comprehensive index and the Meiyu period is given. From the distribution of all Meiyu periods, Meiyu occurs most in mode 5 and least in mode 1. That is, Meiyu occurs more in the case of two jets moving southward and moving away from each other. Overall, Meiyu is more likely to occur in the case dominated by the subtropical westerly jet.

[0145] Further statistics of the occurrence frequency of different phase events during the Meiyu period showed that in mode 3, the occurrence frequency of events lasting more than 3 days was significantly higher than that of the remaining continuous events. In mode 4, the occurrence frequency of events lasting more than 3 days was similar to that of short continuous events lasting 2-3 days. In mode 5, the results were similar to those in phase 3, and long continuous events occurred frequently. Obviously, long continuous events during the Meiyu period occurred more frequently in modes 3 and 5, and the frequency of occurrence in mode 4 was significantly lower. The distribution of the jet stream cooperative change index during the Meiyu period (only considering days with index intensity ≥ 1, d is the number of days) is shown in Table 2.

[0146] Table 2

[0147]

[0148] Further exploration of the indicating effect of the comprehensive index on typical Meiyu events is shown in Table 3. Figure 6

[0149] During the flood year, the Meiyu period often occurs in mode 5, i.e., the Meiyu period of the flood year occurs in the state of the subtropical westerly jet stream dominated by the backward movement of the jet stream, corresponding to a longer duration and higher rainfall during the Meiyu period. Secondly, this event often occurs in modes 3 and 4. At this time, the two jets are in the same southward mode, and the active cold air and abundant dynamic lifting conditions provide a favorable circulation background for the Meiyu period precipitation. The Meiyu of the flood year does not occur in modes 1 and 8, accounting for less than 3%.

[0150] For the Meiyu period of the dry year, the phase with the highest occurrence frequency is mode 4, accounting for 21.3%, i.e., the same southward mode dominated by the polar front jet. This corresponds to a relatively short duration of the Meiyu period and a relatively small amount of Meiyu. At the same time, this also reflects that the cold air in the dry year is relatively active in the middle and high latitudes, which can effectively enhance the intensity of the polar front jet, and the rapid southward movement of the cold air is also conducive to enhancing the temperature gradient on both sides of the subtropical jet and accelerating the westerly. Secondly, this type of event often occurs in modes 5 and 6, accounting for 16.9% and 15.7%, respectively, i.e., the two jets are in the backward movement mode. Unlike the Meiyu period of the flood year, the Meiyu area in modes 1 and 8 still exists to some extent during the Meiyu period of the dry year, which is obviously related to the significantly lower rainfall during the Meiyu period of the dry year.

[0151] Further exploration of the indicating effect of the index on the Meiyu period rainstorm is shown in Table 4. Figure 7 ​As shown, the results indicate that Meiyu season torrential rains occurred most frequently in Mode 5, accounting for 26.3%, followed by Mode 4, accounting for 25.6%. In both of these modes, the subtropical westerly jet stream dominated the jet stream co-evolution, suggesting that the occurrence of Meiyu season torrential rains may be more easily regulated by the subtropical westerly jet stream. Modes 3 and 6 occurred relatively less frequently, but still accounted for more than 15%, indicating that under conditions of weak subtropical westerly jet streams, the circulation evolution dominated by the polar front jet stream can also trigger Meiyu season torrential rains, but the frequency of occurrence is relatively low. Similarly, the analysis of the persistence of torrential rains occurring in different modes revealed that, similar to the frequency of persistent events during the Meiyu season, Meiyu season torrential rains lasting more than 3 days occurred most frequently in Mode 5, with a frequency of up to 27 days. However, unlike Mode 6, persistent torrential rains still reached 21 days, but were mostly torrential rains lasting 3 to 4 days. The distribution of persistent Meiyu season torrential rain events based on the jet stream co-evolution index is shown in Table 3.

[0152] Table 3

[0153]

[0154] Studies on torrential rains during the plum rain season in both drought and flood years have found that, for example Figure 6 As shown, heavy rainfall in flood years is concentrated in mode 5, accounting for 29.4%, while the probability of occurrence in modes 4 and 6 is 21.1% each, followed by mode 3. The occurrence and development of heavy rainfall often require abundant water vapor supply and active convection, combined with... ​ The analysis reveals that in Mode 5, the strong subtropical westerly jet stream provides a favorable dynamic lifting environment, while the active mid-latitude cold air pushes the two jet streams in opposite directions. Simultaneously, the intense confrontation with the low-latitude warm and humid airflow in the Yangtze River basin is also a significant factor contributing to the occurrence of torrential rains during the Meiyu season. In contrast, the most frequent torrential rains in dry years occur in Mode 4, corresponding to the southward location of the polar front jet stream caused by the high-latitude meridional circulation.

[0155] The above analysis reveals that the jet stream coordination index effectively indicates the differences between Meiyu season torrential rainfall and drought / flood years. Meiyu season torrential rainfall is concentrated in Modes 4 and 5, when the subtropical westerly jet stream is strong, providing favorable dynamic lifting conditions for the rainfall. Prolonged and persistent torrential rainfall occurs more frequently in Mode 5, possibly due to the frequent occurrence of persistent events during this period. In flood years, torrential rainfall is concentrated in Mode 5, with the polar front jet stream shifting northward and the mid-to-high latitude circulation exhibiting a zonal distribution; the torrential rainfall is longer and heavier. Conversely, in drought years, torrential rainfall is concentrated in Mode 4, with the polar front jet stream shifting southward, mid-to-high latitude disturbances being more active, and the duration of the torrential rainfall being significantly shorter.
