武汉中层大气中频雷达及其初步探测结果

首先简要地讨论了武汉中频雷达观测原理和设备的组成，该雷达测量60-100km高度的大气风场和电子密度，风场采用分布天线测量技术和全相关分析方法得到，电子密度通过微分吸收和微分相位技术获得，初步观测结果表明：（1）武汉上空冬季60-100km高度的纬向风多为西风，风速为30-50m/s，经向风速为10-20m/s，垂直风速较小，一般在5m/s以内，（2）60-100km高度范围的大气风场和电子密度均有明显的日变化，风场在某些时段和高度区间有较强的风剪切出现。（3）80km以上高度大气的风场和电子密度存在较明显的扰动现象，它可能与大气波动过程有关。     

极区中层顶区域重力波谱的季节变化

使用MAP/WINE和MAC/SINE两次试验中测量的25m高分辨率水平速度数据和1km低分辨率温度数据,研究极区中层顶区域重力波谱的季节变化.温度的直接测量使计算的谱振幅和Richardson数更接近真实大气.结果显示,极区中层顶区域水平速度垂直波数谱的斜率和振幅存在相当大的变率,这些大的观测变率用各种饱和模式及普适垂直波数谱不能解释.然而平均垂直波数谱显示了明显的季节变化,在夏季,平均谱具有饱和特性;在冬季,平均谱具有非饱和特性.这意味着饱和过程存在于夏季而不是冬季.因此,夏季比冬季应有更强的湍流.这个结果与湍流季节变化的观测大致一致.从Brunt-Vaisala频率N和水平风切变计算的Richardson数Ri剖面也显示出季节差异,Ri<1/4的动力不稳定区出现在夏季,而Ri>0.4的稳定区出现在冬季.这些不稳定区与夏季谱结合很好,而稳定区则与冬季谱结合很好.     

激光雷达观测的武汉上空对流边界层高度与夹卷层厚度

基于地基偏振激光雷达2011年1月至2017年12月对武汉中心城区的观测资料，研究了超大城市对流边界层高度与夹卷层厚度的变化特征.采用Fernald方法进行数据反演获得了1min时间分辨率、30m空间分辨率的后散比剖面，通过方差法确定了对流边界层高度和夹卷层厚度.结果表明，武汉上空对流边界层高度和夹卷层厚度具有明显的季节变化特征.对流边界层顶的均值最大处在春季为1.14km，夏季为1.25km，秋季为1.06km，冬季为0.74km；夹卷层厚度均值最大处在春季为0.40km，夏季为0.51km，秋季为0.34km，冬季为0.26km.这些特征与武汉地区地表温度的周年变化特征具有很强的相关性.      

日全食期间中间层大气臭氧光化过程试验

利用包括活O_x、HO_x、和NO_x等成份在内的一维时变光化模式,研究了日全食时上中层大气臭氧和O₂(1△g)的变化特性,并通过与观测资料的比较进行了光化模式的试验.结果表明,日全食时太阳辐照变化对1.27μm气晖影响的高度比曙暮期间明显偏低,利用1.27μm气晖光度计测量大气臭氧的高度范围约为52-67km.1997年3月9日漠河日全食时测量的大气臭氧含量变化幅度为50％.这与考虑O_x、HO_x、和NO_x等成份的光化模式理论模拟结果基本一致.它表明在52-67km高度范围不存在臭氧亏损现象.      

北纬30°中层顶区域钠与铁原子层的结构和年际变化

基于武汉大学Na和Fe激光雷达在2004年1月至2011年12月期间的观测数据，得到武汉上空中层顶区域Na和Fe原子层的平均特性、夜间变化和季节变化特征.Na层平均质心高度为91.36km，平均RMS（均方根）宽度为4.64km.Fe层平均质心高度为88.99km，平均RMS宽度为4.57km.在充分考虑金属层夜间变化和季节变化对数据样本影响的基础上，获取了Na层和Fe层结构在此期间的年际变化特征.对Na层和Fe层质心高度及RMS宽度的年际变化进行线性拟合，发现Na层和Fe层在此期间均相对稳定，Na层质心高度在近8年间仅有约58m的下降，变化率为-7.91m·a-1，Na层RMS宽度减小约151m，变化率为-20.60m·a-1.同期，Fe层的质心高度下降了约230m，变化率为-31.36m·a-1，Fe层RMS宽度则有所增大，变化率为21.01m·a-1.      

北京上空高分辨率气球探空观测的温度垂直波数谱

使用分辨率为10 m的温度剖面检查2.90～8.01 km和14.65～19.76 km高度范围内归一化温度扰动谱的谱特性,并且将它们与模式谱比较.结果表明,在波数9.8×10-4～2.5×10-2m-1范围内,对流层的垂直波数谱有约-1.9的平均谱斜率;低平流层的垂直波数谱有约-2.2的平均谱斜率.这两个平均谱斜率大大偏离了目前饱和谱模式和普适大气谱模式表示的-3.0和-2.4谱斜率,并且认为是目前气球测量中曾经观测到的最平谱斜率.在波数9.8×10-4～2.5×10-2m-1范围内,对流层和低平流层的平均谱振幅比饱和谱模式的谱振幅分别大24倍和5倍,这也与饱和谱模式以及目前文献中的观测结果有很大不同.这些较大平均谱振幅与最平的平均谱斜率一道共同表明,观测的温度谱并不遵循目前的饱和谱模式和普适大气谱模式.

昆明MF雷达及初步探测结果

MF雷达是中层大气风场及低电离层电子密度观测的重要手段. 简要介绍了新建昆明MF雷达设备的工作原理、结构及工作模式, 并对观测结果进行初步分析. 对2009年1月观测数据的分析表明, 该月纬向风场最大可达80 m/s, 经向风场则较小, 一般不超过40 m/s, 且二者均呈现一定波动性. 相应的LS谱及谐波拟合分析表明,周日潮汐是80~100 km高度大气风场的主要扰动成分, 其振幅随高度改变, 相位向下传播, 且周日潮汐经向分量相位超前于纬向分量相位. 此外, 分析了MF雷达白天的电子密度观测结果, 并与IRI2000进行比较, 发现两者在变化趋势上有非常好的一致性, 但雷达观测结果小于IRI2000给出的参考值.      

The mesopause region wind field over Central Europe in 2003 and comparison with a long-term climatology

Using the D1 method in the LF range, monthly mean zonal and meridional winds in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere height range are measured continuously at Collm, Germany. The wind data are accompanied by reference height measurements since 1983, allowing the construction of an empirical long-term climatology of mean winds and tidal amplitudes and phases at 52N, 15E, which covers the height range of 80–110 km in winter, and about 83–107 km in summer. The climatology includes the time interval from 1983 to date, thus covering nearly two solar cycles. Vertical wind parameter profiles can also be constructed for individual years, so that from the time series interannual variability and long-term trends can be deduced. Here, we present the results for 2003 in comparison with the climatological means.     

Seasonal,annual, and interannual variability in MLT quasi-two-day waves over the low-latitude region Kolhapur (16.8°N; 74.2°E)

This study presents the quasi-two-day wave (Q2DW) characteristics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region obtained by taking hourly mean values of horizontal wind velocities for 4? years (August 2013–July 2017) through continuous measurements using a medium-frequency (MF) radar (operating frequency – 1.98?MHz) located at the low-latitude Indian station Kolhapur (16.8°N; 74.2°E). The MF radar located at Kolhapur was upgraded in 2013, and these results of Q2DW have been reported for the first time after upgrading. The present study investigated variability in seasonal, annual, interannual, and solar indices of Q2DWs traveling in zonal (EW) and meridional (NS) components in the MLT region. The Q2DW activity is observed to be stronger during austral summer (January–February) (EW?=?～5?m/s and NS?=?～8–10?m/s) than during boreal summer (June–July) (EW = ～5 m/s and NS = ～6–8?m/s). The Q2DW amplitudes are larger in the meridional component than in the zonal one. A strong semiannual oscillation (SAO) has been observed in Q2DWs, with peak during January–February and June–July. In addition, small enhancement is seen in meridional Q2DW in October (～5–6?m/s). It is observed that the entire spectrum (40–60?h) measured between 86 and 94?km contributes to the SAO amplitudes during January–February and June–July, whereas the waves measured between 42?h and 52?h contribute to enhancement in October similar to that reported elsewhere. In general, the Q2DW amplitude shows large interannual variability. The easterlies developed in the global circulation model in Northern hemisphere during May intensify up to around summer solstice. Q2DW activity peaks during westerly shear zone and intensifies with time at a lower thermospheric altitude (above 90?km). Small positive correlations (r?=?0.2 for sunspot number and r?=?0.1 for 10.7?cm solar flux) have been observed between Q2DW amplitudes and solar activity.     

Comparisons of winds at (44°S, 173°E), 65–110km,with CIRA 72

In the 95km height region of the atmosphere, ground-based techniques made an important contribution to the CIRA 72 [1] wind model. Recent wind measurements from a partial reflection experiment at 44S covering one and a half years are presented and compared with CIRA 72. The zonal wind component compares favourably, although the measured values are more easterly above 80km in autumn and winter; a feature of the autumn winds is a temporary easterly reversal above 90km. Winter mesospheric winds can be very disturbed. The summer mesosphere easterly maximum appears earlier in the season and at a higher altitude than the model. A much poorer comparison is shown between the measured meridional wind component and the 1969 model of Groves [2].

基于WACCM+DART的临近空间SABER和MLS温度观测资料同化试验

基于WACCM+DART（Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model，Data Assimilation Research Test-Bed）临近空间资料同化预报系统，以2016年2月的一次平流层爆发性增温（SSW）事件为例，开展了临近空间SABER（Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry）和MLS（Microwave Limb Sounder）温度观测资料集合滤波同化试验.结果表明:同化SABER和MLS温度观测资料可显著降低WACCM模式在中间层和平流层中上部（0.001～10hPa）大气温度场的预报误差，改善CR试验在SSW发生时中间层变冷现象偏强、纬向风场首次发生反转的层次偏低以及增温恢复阶段0.1～10hPa的东风层提前消退、纬向风速偏大、平流层顶位置偏高等现象.基于ERA5（The Fifth Generation of ECMWF Reanalyses）再分析资料的检验表明:同化SABER和MLS温度资料明显有利于减小北半球高纬度地区（60°-90°N）平流层中上层和下中间层（0.1～14hPa）纬向风场以及平流层和中间层中下层（0.01～100hPa）温度场的分析误差；同化低层大气观测也有利于减小0.1～14hPa纬向风场和0.01～100hPa温度场的分析误差，但是不如同化SABER和MLS温度资料对临近空间纬向风场和温度场分析误差的改善效果显著.      

Mesosphere/lower thermosphere wind regime parameters using a newly installed SKiYMET meteor radar at Kazan (56°N, 49°E)

New meteor radar (MR) horizontal wind data obtained during 2015–2018 at Kazan (56°N, 49°E) are presented. The measurements were carried out with a state-of-the-art SKiYMET meteor radar. Monthly mean vertical profiles of zonal and meridional components of the prevailing wind speeds, also amplitudes and phases of the components of diurnal (DT) and semidiurnal tide (SDT) winds are displayed as contour plots for a mean calendar year over the four recent years and compared with distributions of these parameters provided by the previous multiyear (1986–2002) meteor radar (MR) measurements at Kazan and by the recent HWM07 empirical model. The analysis shows that the SKiYMET zonal and meridional prevailing wind speeds are generally in good agreement, sharing the same seasonal features, with the earlier MR seasonal winds. Comparisons with the HWM07 model are not favourable: eastward solstitial cells as modelled are significantly larger, >30?m/s compared to 15–20?m/s. Also, reversal lines are too variable with height, and the positions of modelled cells (positive and negative) are unlike those of either MRs at Kazan or other MLT radars. Both MR systems provide the large SDT amplitudes, approximately 30?m/s and vertical wavelengths, approximately 55?km, for both components at middle latitudes in winter. They also show the well known strong SDT September feature (heights 85–100?km, the vertical wavelength ～55–60?km), and the weak summer SDT for 80–91?km. HWM07 shows unrealistic amplitudes and phases above 90?km by height and month: minimal amplitudes in equinoxes and no September feature.The weak DT of middle to high latitudes provide similar amplitude and phase structures from both MRs, 1986–2002 and 2015–2017: largest amplitudes (10–12 or 8–10?m/s) for the evanescent meridional tide in summer, peaking in late July; weakest (0–2, 2–4?m/s) at 80 to 92–96?km, when the tide is vertically propagating (January, February, November, December) with a vertical wavelength near 40?km. Again, HWM07 differs in amplitude and phase structures: showing peak amplitudes in equinoxes: April, 15?m/s at 88?km; October, 21?m/s at 89?km.Coupling of the MR wind parameters with the ERA5 wind parameters is studied for a case in 2016. It is shown that the prevailing winds and DT amplitudes and phases of both datasets can be simply linked together, but that the ERA5 SDT amplitudes are significantly underestimated at the top model levels of the ERA5 reanalysis project.     

极区夏季中间层半日潮汐的VHF雷达观测

采用德国SOUSYVHF雷达观测数据,研究了极区夏季中间层半日潮汐的结构和变化特征.纬向和经向风的动态Lomb-Scargle谱表明,半日潮是中间层高度上占支配地位的波动,其谱峰对应的频率一般与1/12c·h-1有偏离,说明它们经常处在被扰动状态.稳定的半日潮振幅随高度增加而迅速增长,在87.9km高度附近达到饱和;经向分量的相位一般比纬向分量的相位超前π/4-π/2,从而水平扰动速度矢量端点随时间变化的轨迹显示出顺时针方向旋转的特征.半日潮汐特征参量在纬向和经向风中随时间的变化在基本趋势一致的基础上显示出一定程度的各向异性.      

Measurements of upper atmosphere wind and temperature from meteorological rocket experiments during winter 1979

This institute conducted a series of meteorological rocket experiments for the upper-atmospheric sounding in the winter of 1979. Within the overlap altitude range with balloon flights, a comparison of the results with the standard radiosonde data indicated that the rocket-borne system was reliable. The measurements from foru rocket flights for the region between 20 and 30 km showed a degree of compatibility to each other while those for above 30 km differed considerably from one another. At low latitude, the temperature profiles in the winter stratosphere in general showed a reasonably good agreement with the U.S. Standard Atmospheric Supplements, 1966 (USSAS 66). A temperature of 2–24°C lower than the USSAS 66, however, was recorded in the lower mesosphere. Above 30 km the maximum diurnal variation in temperature was 9°C or so. In the winter, the wind profile showed the westerlies and the maximum wind velocity of 92.1 Msec^?1 was obtained from these experiments at the height of 60 km.
