A MODELING STUDY OF NORTHWEST PACIFIC SSTA EFFECT ON PACIFIC STORM TRACK DURING WINTER
【摘要】:正 A T_(42)L_9 GCM integration is adopted to investigate in detail the effect of Northwest Pacific seasurface temperature anomaly(SSTA)on the Pacific storm track(PST)during winter.Resultsshow that warm(cold)Northwest Pacific SSTA can give rise to significantly increased(decreased)baroelinicity on the north side of the anomaly area and its downstream in such a way asto make the Pacific storm track strengthen(weaken)in its entrance where the 500 hPa synopticperturbation height variance,kinetic energy,and low-level upward and poteward transient eddytemperature fluxes who exhibit similar features to those of mid-latitude barolinic waves in theirdeveloping phases,show great enhancement for the warm case,suggesting that the Pacific trackcan be reconstructed in its west side only as a result of an external forcing,viz.,warm NorthwestPacific SSTA during winter.
