项目摘要

The Arctic Oscillation or the northern annular mode (NAM) is the most dominant mode in the winter Northern Hemisphere. The seasonal variation of the NAM and its seasonal linkage are studied in this research project. The summer NAM has a smaller meridional scale than the winter NAM and confined in the troposphere. The winter NAM has a positive correlation with the following summer NAM. We showed that this seasonal linkage is partly caused by snow over the northern continents. The positive winter NAM produces less snow fall over Eurasia and the reduced snow cover persist until late spring. Early snowmelt enhances heat contrast between Eurasia and the Arctic Ocean in early summer, which produce a positive phase of NAM in summer. This is one possible mechanism for seasonal linkage of the NAM. The other possible mechanism is the ozone-related process. In the winter of positive NAM years, the stratospheric polar vortex is strong and hence the ozone transport from the tropics to the extratropics in the lower stratosphere is reduced. Since the photochemical life time of ozone is ling in the lower stratosphere, the reduced ozone persist until early summer. The reduced ozone cools the high-latitude and strengthen the zonal wind in the lower stratosphere in early summer. Thus the wave propagation in the troposphere is changed and the tropospheric NAM become positive by eddy forcing. By data analysis, we suggested this mechanism is also working for the seasonal linkage.The summer of 2003 was abnormally hot in Europe and cool in Japan. This abnormal weather was analyzed from a viewpoint of summer NAM. From mid-July to early August, the summer NAM showed quite large value, which corresponds to blockings over Europe and east Siberia. These blocking highs caused the abnormal weather in Europe and Japan.

北极涛动或北环模态（NAM）是北半球冬季最主要的模态。本研究项目研究了 NAM 的季节变化及其季节联系。夏季NAM的经向尺度比冬季NAM小，并且局限于对流层。冬季NAM与随后的夏季NAM呈正相关。我们表明，这种季节性联系部分是由北部大陆的降雪造成的。积极的冬季 NAM 在欧亚大陆产生较少的降雪，并且减少的积雪持续到晚春。早期融雪增强了欧亚大陆和北冰洋之间的初夏热量对比，从而在夏季产生了NAM的正位相。这是 NAM 季节性联系的一种可能机制。另一种可能的机制是与臭氧相关的过程。在正NAM年的冬季，平流层极地涡旋较强，因此平流层下部从热带到温带的臭氧输送减少。由于臭氧的光化学寿命处于平流层低层，臭氧的减少一直持续到初夏。臭氧减少使高纬度地区变冷，并增强了初夏平流层低层的纬向风。因此，对流层中的波传播发生改变，对流层 NAM 因涡流强迫而变为正值。通过数据分析，我们认为这一机制也起到了季节联动的作用。2003年夏季，欧洲异常炎热，日本异常凉爽。从夏季NAM的角度分析了这次异常天气。 7月中旬至8月初，夏季NAM显示出相当大的值，这对应于欧洲和东西伯利亚的阻塞。这些阻塞性高点导致了欧洲和日本的异常天气。
