2018年1月江苏省两次暴雪过程积雪效率差异及其机理

Snow Accumulation Efficiency Difference and Mechanism during the Two Snowstorm Events in Jiangsu Province in January 2018

  • 摘要: 2018年1月3~5日江苏省第一次暴雪过程中降雪量大、积雪效率偏低,而1月24~28日第二次暴雪过程降雪量小、积雪效率高。基于ERA-Interim再分析资料和中国气象局积雪、近地气温等观测资料,利用等熵大气质量环流理论从温度、水汽条件差异对2018年1月江苏省两次暴雪过程积雪效率差异进行了深入分析。研究表明:(1)第一次过程前期,深厚且强盛的向极地暖支将大量暖空气输送至江苏南部,导致该地区整层增温;第二次过程中,低层强大的向赤道冷支输送使地面温度在整个降雪期间均低于0°C,低温条件使得积雪效率偏高。(2)第一次过程,江苏地区深厚、强盛的水汽质量流入层配合大范围上升运动,将水汽携带至高层产生更大降雪量,低层经向水汽质量输送强,纬向水汽质量流出较弱,使得近地面比湿相应增加,积雪效率偏低;第二次过程,低层深厚的水汽质量流出层不利于水汽在江苏省汇聚,低湿条件利于积雪累积,贡献于偏高的积雪效率。因此,异常强的经向干冷空气质量输送和弱的经向和纬向水汽质量输送引起的低温、低湿环境条件是造成第二次暴雪过程比第一次过程积雪效率偏高的主要原因。积雪效率与温度和湿度空间分布型的对比分析还表明:在相对高温、高湿的环境条件下,积雪效率对局地温度和湿度的响应更为敏感。

     

    Abstract: The first snowstorm event in Jiangsu during 3–5 January 2018 had heavier snowfall but lower snow accumulation efficiency, whereas the second snowstorm event during 24–28 January had lighter snowfall but higher snow accumulation efficiency. This study investigated the temperature and humidity conditions in these two snowstorm events using the ERA-Interim reanalysis data and observation data from the China Meteorological Administration and explored the underlying physical processes in the framework of isentropic atmospheric mass circulation. The main findings are as follows: (1) Compared with the second snowstorm event, the early stage of the first snowstorm event was characterized by higher temperature in the entire troposphere, which was attributed to a relatively deeper and stronger poleward warm air branch of isentropic atmospheric mass circulation to the south of Jiangsu. In contrast, the stronger equatorward cold air branch of isentropic atmospheric mass circulation resulted in a temperature lower than 0°C in the second snowstorm event, promoting higher snow accumulation efficiency. (2) The deep water vapor mass inflow layer in lower isentropic layers collaborated with the wide range of ascending motions during the first snowstorm and further brought lower-level water vapor to higher layers for the formation of larger snowfall. Stronger meridional water vapor transport but weaker zonal water vapor net mass outflow in the lower isentropic layers increased near-ground specific humidity, contributing to the lower snow accumulation efficiency. However, there was a deep layer of water vapor mass outflow in the lower isentropic layers during the second snowstorm event, which contributed to the greater snow accumulation efficiency. Colder and dryer conditions resulting from the abnormal meridional cold air transport and weak water vapor transport in both meridional and zonal directions caused higher snow accumulation efficiency in the second snowstorm event. The comparison of the spatial distribution of temperature and humidity with snow accumulation efficiency further reveals that under high temperature and humidity conditions, snow accumulation efficiency is more sensitive to the local temperature and humidity changes.
