以0505号强台风"海棠"为例,利用"侵台台风之飞机侦察及下投式探空仪观测实验"(Dropsonde Observations for Typhoon Surveillance near the Taiwan Region,DOTSTAR)提供的高垂直分辨率GPS下投式探空仪(Dropsonde)观测资料,研究和比较了2次观测时段"海棠"的动力及热力结构差异,结果表明,第2次观测时的"海棠"在气旋式入流的强度和范围、高层暖区的强度和范围等方面均较第1次明显增强和扩大,且"海棠"环流的顶层发展出了一定强度和厚度的反气旋出流,加上"海棠"逐步移入高海温区和处于有利的弱垂直风切变环境中,"海棠"进一步增强;其次,用该观测资料对Frank等1999和2001年的数值模拟结果(垂直风切变通过激发热带气旋眼墙内部垂直运动的一波不对称结构而导致热带气旋结构的不对称分布)进行了验证。结果表明,观测分析结果与Frank等的数值模拟结果能较好地吻合,解释了环境垂直风切变对台风不对称结构的可能影响。
As one of the most severe typhoons in the year 2005,Typhoon Longwang is chosen as a case study in this article.Throughout its life,two surveillance flights are carried out on it.Different from previous studies,GPS(global positioning system)Dropwinsonde data collected from the Dropwinsonde Observations for Typhoon Surveillance near the Taiwan Region is chosen to present the thermodynamic and kinetic structure at its two different stages of development.This study suggests that not only kinetic structure but also thermodynamic structure of Longwang are more robust in the second surveillance than the first surveillance,with stronger and larger circulation and a warmer core.Further research shows that the environmental vertical wind shear mainly contributes to the asymmetric structure of the typhoon.The strong vertical wind shear not only results in the distinct asymmetric structure,but also restrains the development of the typhoon.
