Therefore, if the changes in these two layers are different, the changes in the middle layer will dominate the changes in the wavelength. The results also show that the wavelength decreases with the increase in the value of 12 in every layer, among which the sensitivity to the 12 in the upper layer is the most striking. The calculation results reasonably can explain the influence of diurnal changes on the wavelength. The example was simulated using Advanced Regional Prediction System model, and the sensitivity experiments were performed to confirm the effects of the Scorer parameter profiles on the wavelengths. The simulated results are consistent with the calculated results.展开更多
