摘要

本文综述了西非季风环流的动力机制。首先描述了环流的特征,包括雨带的季节性位移、撒哈拉沙漠上空低热的结构、向南的经向环流和相关的纬向急流。然后,利用角动量守恒、热风平衡和湿对流平衡原理,提出了纬向平均经向环流的简单理论。这些理论在西非季风中的应用揭示了对低水平等效位势温度经向梯度的敏感性,这有助于解释观测到的季风发生的变化。还描述了导致环流东西不对称的过程,并讨论了将西非降雨异常与热带地区的远程事件联系起来的机制。这些动态的考虑,然后放在正在进行的AMMA研究计划的更广泛的背景下。

Dynamics of the West African monsoon
A review is given of the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the monsoon circulation over West Africa. Features of the circulation are first described, including the seasonal displacement of the rain bands, the structure of the heat low over the Sahara, the meridional circulation to the south and the associated zonal jets. Simple theories for the zonal-mean meridional circulation are then presented, using the principles of angular momentum conservation, thermal wind balance and moist convective equilibrium. The application of these theories to the West African monsoon reveals a sensitivity to the low-level meridional gradient of equivalent potential temperature, which helps explain observed variability in the monsoon onset. Processes leading to east-west asymmetries in the circulation are also described, and mechanisms linking West African rainfall anomalies with remote events in the tropics are discussed. These dynamical considerations are then placed in the broader context of the ongoing AMMA research program.
