This study employed two assimilation schemes based on the global Climate Forecast System of Nanjing University of Information Science (NUIST-CFS 1.0) to investigate the impact of ocean data assimilation on the seasonal prediction of this extreme marine heatwave. The sea surface temperature (SST) nudging scheme assimilates SST only, while the deterministic ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) scheme assimilates observations from the surface to the deep ocean. The latter notably improves the forecasting skill for subsurface temperature anomalies, especially at the depth of 100–300 m (the lower layer), outperforming the SST nudging scheme. It excels in predicting both horizontal and vertical heat transport in the lower layer, contributing to improved forecasts of the lower-layer warming during the Blob. These improvements stem from the assimilation of subsurface observational data, which are important in predicting the upper-ocean conditions. The results suggest that assimilating ocean data with the EnKF scheme significantly enhances the accuracy in predicting subsurface temperature anomalies during the Blob and offers better understanding of its underlying mechanisms.</div><div>摘要</div><div>2013年底至2016年初, 东北太平洋上发生了历史上罕见的极端海洋热浪事件 (称为“Blob”事件) , 形成了从海表延伸至海洋深处300m的强烈且持续的海温暖异常. 本文利用南京信息工程大学全球气候预测系统1.0版本 (NUIST-CFS 1.0) , 采用两种海洋资料同化方案, 探究海洋资料同化差异对这一极端海洋热浪事件季节预测的影响. 本文采用的一种同化方案为仅同化海表面温度 (Surface sea temperature, SST) 的SST-nudging方案, 而另一种方案为在前一种方案的基础上加入确定性集合卡尔曼滤波 (Deterministic Ensemble Kalman Filter, DEnKF) , 同化更多海洋观测数据的EnKF方案. 主要结论为, 利用EnKF方案可显著提高对“Blob”期间次表层温度异常预测的准确性, 这主要源于EnKF方案在预测次表层的水平和垂直热传输方面表现出色. 该研究有助于更好地理解海洋热浪事件潜在物理机制及其季节预测水平.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47210,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":"Article 100498"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140771707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the impact of future ENSO modulation on carbon flux variability, this study used 10 CMIP6 earth system models to analyze ENSO modulation and carbon flux variability in middle and low latitudes, and their relationship, under different scenarios simulated by CMIP6 models.

This study examines the spectral characteristics of MPCs in the shortwave-infrared (SWIR) channels over the wavelength of 0.4–2.5 µm, and evaluates the potential of current operational satellite spectroradiometer channels for MPC retrievals. With optical properties of MPCs based on the assumption of uniform mixing of both ice and liquid water particles, the effects of MPC ice optical thickness fraction (IOTF) and effective radius on associated optical properties are analyzed. As expected, results indicate that the MPC optical properties show features for ice and liquid water clouds, and their spectral variations show noticeable differences from those for homogeneous cases. A radiative transfer method is employed to examine the sensitivity of SWIR channels to given MPC cloud water path (CWP) and IOTF. MPCs have unique signal characteristics in the SWIR spectrum. The 0.87-µm channel is most sensitive to CWP. Meanwhile, the 1.61- and 2.13-µm channels are more sensitive to water-dominated MPCs (IOTF approaching 0), and the 2.25-µm channel is sensitive to both water-dominated and ice-dominated MPCs (IOTF approaching 1).

Results indicated that the Changbai Mountains’ topography significantly impacted the propagation and concentration of the sea fog through dual effects—namely, the Venturi Effect and Foehn Clearance Effect. Comparative simulations incorporating and excluding the Changbai Mountains revealed that its topography favored weak convergence (Venturi Effect) of low-level airflow over the Bohai Sea induced by a high-pressure system, promoting westward fog expansion. Additionally, the backward trajectory analysis further indicated that the Foehn Clearance Effect of the Changbai Mountains extended its influence far beyond the immediate lee side, contributing to significant changes in atmospheric conditions such as reductions in relative humidity and increases in potential temperature. The dry, warm foehn contributed to a reduction in the liquid water content, ultimately leading to the weakening or even dissipation of the sea fog in the region close to the Changbai Mountains.

SUM60 increases by greater than 9 ppm h<sup>−1</sup>, W126 increases by greater than 15 ppm h<sup>−1</sup> in Shaanxi and SCB, and AOT40f increases by 6 ppm h<sup>−1</sup> in NCP and SCB. The temperature increase also promotes atmospheric oxidation capacity (AOC) levels, with the higher AOC contributed by OH radicals in southern China but by NO<sub>3</sub> radicals in northern China. The change in the reaction rate caused by the temperature increase has a greater influence on O<sub>3</sub> exposure and AOC than the change in BVOC emissions.</div><div>摘要</div><div>地表臭氧(O₃)对公众健康, 农作物以及自然生态系统构成重大威胁. 全球变暖会增强大气光化学反应以及增加生物源挥发性有机化合物(BVOC)排放, 从而导致 O₃浓度增加. 为了评估未来 1.5 K 气候目标对中国 O₃浓度以及生态 O₃暴露的影响, 在 2018 年 4 月至 10 月期间使用 CMAQ模型进行了数值模拟. 使用六个指标(即 M7, M24, N100, SUM60, W126 和 AOT40f)估算生态 O₃暴露. 结果表明, 在华北平原,长江三角洲和四川盆地地区, 温度升高使每日最大8 小时平均 O₃浓度增加约 3 ppb, O₃超标天数增加 10–20 天. 所有 O₃暴露指标均显著增加. 中国东部和南部的 M24 和 M7 将分别增加 1–3 ppb 和 2–4 ppb. 北京周边地区的 N100 增加超过 120 小时. 陕西和四川盆地的 SUM60 增加超过 9 ppm h⁻¹, W126 增加超过 15 ppm h⁻¹, 华北平原和四川盆地的 AOT40f 增加 6 ppm h⁻¹. 温度升高还提升了大气氧化能力(AOC)水平, 在中国南部较高的 AOC 由羟基自由基贡献, 而在中国北部则由硝基自由基贡献. 由温度升高引起的反应速率变化对 O₃暴露和 AOC 的影响比 BVOC 排放增加带来的贡献更大.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47210,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters","volume":"17 6","pages":"Article 100556"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
