摘要
为了揭示80年代以来发生ElNino事件形成的机制,利用一个两层半的热带海洋模式进行数值试验.结果表明:在特定的西向流场背景条件下,热带大气季节内时间尺度振荡强迫激发的赤道第二斜压模态的波动可以在向东传播的过程中出现停驻.波动传播停驻与多普勒效应有密切的关系.由于波动停驻海区海表面温度(SST)正异常增大,可促进其上空大气对流运动的发展,导致赤道中、西太平洋出现大范围西风异常,在赤道海洋中激发起第一斜压模态的Kelvin波.基于上述事实和数值试验结果,文章提出了一个阶段性海气相互作用激发ElNino事件发生的机制,热带中太平洋波动传播停驻导致的SST正异常在这个发生机制中起着关键的作用.
In order to reveal the developing mechanism of El Nio events since 1980′s, the numerical experiment is made by using a two and half layer tropical ocean model. The results show that under the background conditions of specific westward streamline field, the second baroclinic Kelvin wave triggered by intraseasonal time scale oscillation in the tropical atmosphere could stop propagating during its eastward propagation. There should be the close relation between the stop of propagation and Doppler effect. Because of the increasing of SST positive anomaly in the sea region, the convective activity of upper air could be accelerated to develop, and so that the westerly anomaly could occur over the central West Pacific, the first baroclinic Kelvin wave is triggered in the equatorial ocean. Based on the observation and numerical experiment results, the mechanism of staged atmosphere ocean interaction has been put forward to explain the El Nio events since 1980′s.
