摘要

北大西洋涛动(NAO)和阻塞等大气大尺度低频模态对北半球天气气候起着重要的调控作用。首先回顾了NAO年代际变率物理机制的研究进展,并从季节内尺度NAO位相转换的角度讨论了其对NAO年代际变率的影响。介绍了NAO与阻塞时空关系的研究进展,讨论了年代际NAO变率对阻塞时空分布的可能影响。另外,以2次极端暴雪天气事件为例,从观测事实方面讨论了NAO和阻塞对极端暴雪天气的影响机制,同时从理论模型方面部分解释了其可能的物理机制。总结了有关NAO和阻塞理论模式的研究进展,介绍了非线性多尺度相互作用模型的发展过程和应用。最后,基于对以上研究进展的总结,给出了NAO-阻塞—极端暴雪天气的机制示意图,概括部分研究的特点和不同之处,并提出了该领域有待解决的几个问题和未来可能的研究方向,为相关的研究提供参考。

Abstract

Large-scale, low frequency modes such as the North Atlantic Oscillation(NAO)and blocking, have an important modulation on the northern hemisphere weather and climate. In this paper, the physical mechanism studies on inter-decadal and decadal variability of NAO and blocking were summarized. The relationship between NAO regime transitions and the interannual variability of NAO in winter during was examined by using a statistical approach. The time-space relationship between NAO and European blocking were discussed. Based on two extreme cold and snowstorm events, the impacts on local weather especially the extreme events within the life cycle (two weeks) of the NAO and blocking were further examined. It was found that the frequently occurrence of the Eurasian extreme snowstorm was closely related to the special combination of NAO and blocking regime. In addition, the development of theoretical modes for NAO and blocking was discussed and issues that remain to be solved were proposed.
