Abstract:

Based on the 500 hPa vorticity,height and wind fields of NCEP reanalysis data with 6 hours temporal and 1° ×1° spatial res-
olution over the region of 25°N -35°N,110°E -120°E from 2002 to 2010,the strength index of upper - level trough (TSI) was con-
structed by using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results show that there was a good consistency between TSI and trough
strength,and the greater TSI,the stronger upper - level trough was. TSI had indicative significance not only for upper trough,but also
for upper ridge. The upper - level trough was obvious when the value of TSI was greater than 0. 6,but the trough and ridge were not
apparent when the value of TSI was between 0. 35 and 0. 6 and the consistent westerly circulation was presented,and when the value of
TSI was less than 0. 35,the upper - level ridge was significant. In order to test TSI,the data in 2011 was imported into the formula of
TSI,and the result was good. In addition,the strong upper - level trough with TSI greater than 0. 6 had an obvious monthly change,
and the amount of strong trough was more in winter and less in summer.

Key words: upper - level trough, TSI, AHP, test, monthly distribution

摘要:

利用2002 ~2010 年25°N ~35°N,110°E ~120°E 范围内的 NCEP 1° ×1° 500 hPa 高度场、涡度场和风场 6 h 再分析资料,运用层次分析法,构建出高空槽强度指数 TSI。结果表明,TSI 的大小与槽强度有很好的一致性,即 TSI 越大槽越强。TSI 不仅对槽有较好的指示意义,对脊也有一定的指示意义。其中当 TSI >0. 6 时,高空槽在该区域较明显;0. 35≤TSI≤0. 6 时,槽脊都不明显,即主要表现为一致的西风环流;TSI <0. 35 时,高空脊较为明显。利用 2011 年的数据对该指数进行检验,检验效果较好。另外,定量分析较强高空槽(TSI≥0. 6)的月分布规律发现,较强槽冬季较多而夏季较少。
