摘要:

随着全球气候变暖,北半球夏季山林火灾事件频发,严重威胁生态环境。本文利用1980—2024年欧洲中期天气预报中心(European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts,ECMWF)的ERA5逐日大气再分析资料与欧洲森林火灾信息系统(European Forest Fire Information System)的2024年夏季逐日火灾天气指数资料,基于天气尺度瞬变扰动的物理分解原理和大气长波活动诊断分析方法,对季节内和天气瞬变扰动两个时间尺度上的环流异常特点及影响2024年夏季美国加利福尼亚州(简称“加州”)山林火灾的机制进行了分析研究。结果表明:1)2024年7月上旬,北太平洋上空的准定常Rossby波能量向东传播,有助于北美大陆西岸异常高压反气旋的加强与维持,并通过绝热下沉增温,有利于山林火灾的爆发与蔓延。2)天气尺度瞬变扰动流场促使加州上空异常高压反气旋增强,进一步加强副热带高压,并提升山林火灾发生的风险。3)天气尺度瞬变扰动分解的结果表明,瞬变天气扰动场由于包含了天气尺度瞬变扰动过程中的纬向非对称性特征,其对区域性山林火灾发生的气象条件与风险指示意义明确,因此,天气尺度瞬变扰动场的分析可在山林火灾事件的预报预警中发挥作用。

Abstract:

Summer wildfires in the Northern Hemisphere occur more and more frequently under global warming, posing a serious threat to the ecological environment. This study utilized ERA5 daily atmospheric reanalysis data spanning from 1980 to 2024 and daily fire weather index data from the European Forest Fire Information System, and analyzed the causes of wildfire events in California in summer 2024 from the perspective of anomalous circulation in mid-high latitudes both on transient and intraseasonal timescales through the physical decomposition principle of transient asymmetric anomaly and diagnosis of wave activity. The results are as follows: 1) In early July 2024, the energy of quasi-steady Rossby waves over the North Pacific propagated eastward, which strengthened and maintained the anomalous anticyclone off the west coast of the North American continent. The temperature increase caused by adiabatic downward motion favored the occurrence and spread of wildfires. 2) The transient asymmetric anomalous flows indicate that the anomalous anticyclone over California has strengthened the subtropical high and increased the risk of wildfires. 3) The decomposition results of transient asymmetric anomaly show that the transient asymmetric anomalous flows can indicate the meteorological conditions and risk of wildfires more clearly. Therefore, the prediction of transient asymmetric flows should play a key role in the forecast and early warning for extreme weather events.

Key words: California, wildfire, drought, anomalous circulation, synoptic-scale transient asymmetric anomaly
