北大西洋涛动位相转换的数值研究
A Numerical Study of the Phase Transition of the North Atlantic Oscillation
摘要
Abstract
Using a nonlinear quasi-geostrophic barotropic model, the paper investigates numerically how the spatial pattern of synoptic scale waves and the westerly wind strength affect the phase transition of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) , and the role played by the large-scale topography. It is found that the weak basic westerly wind is favorable for the westward shift of the downstream large-scale system, favoring the transition of the NAO from positive (negative) phase into negative (positive) phase. It is noted that when the synoptic scale waves are stronger and concentrated in a wider region, the NAO event can transform more easily from the negative phase into positive phase; when the synoptic scale waves are stronger and shift northward, the NAO can transform more easily from the positive into negative phase. In the presence of a large scale topography, the number of the cases in which the NAO transforms from positive (negative) phase to negative (positive) phase is reduced.关键词
