Asian Summer Monsoon Anticyclone – What is …：亚洲夏季季风反气旋–什么是…….ppt

Outstanding issues: Very few aircraft/balloon measurements in anticyclone (so far) How important is convective overshooting vs. large-scale transport? How does the diurnal cycle influence convective transport? What is the detailed behavior of convective and cirrus clouds? Are aerosols observed? If so, what optical properties? (absorbing?) What is the radiation balance near the tropopause? What is the detailed structure across vortex edge? (e.g. filamentation?) What are important exchange mechanisms across edge? What active chemistry is occurring? Do aerosols nucleate and grow? What controls interannual variability? How will anticyclone evolve in a changing climate? * 12 noon 3 pm 6 pm Tibet plateau convection in late afternoon CALIPSO, Cloudsat observations at 1:30 convective cloud statistics from 3-hour geostationary (CLAUS) data Blue = deep, high convective clouds (Motivated from Jonathan Wright, Rong Fu) * Thank you ASM-STE workshop * Extra slides * from Larry Thomason and Jean-Paul Vernier SAGE II satellite observations (cloud cleared; likely due to aerosols) * * WACCM simulation of HCN climatological sources parameterized ocean sink ACE observations WACCM model Tracers are simulated well by chemistry transport model * observations MOZART model Park et al, JGR, 2009 One day * CO max over deep convection * 215 hPa Model vs. observations Park et al, JGR , 2009 MLS water vapor MLS H2O (Jul-Aug) 100 hPa MLS H2O (Jul-Aug) 216 hPa max inside the anticyclone max over deep convection * Park et al, JGR, 2007 100 hPa 216 hPa (level of convective outflow) * 15 km CALIPSO satellite lidar cloud observations Tibet * * * * * * * * * * Overview of the Asian monsoon anticyclone and influence on the UTLS Bill Randel Atmospheric Chemistry Division NCAR Earth System Laboratory Thanks to: Mijeong Park, Laura Pan, Louisa Emmons, Doug Kinnison, MLS team, ACE team What
