  • Coherent amplification of the Okhotsk high, Korean trough, and northwestern Pacific subtropical high during heavy rainfall over Japan in August 2021

    Abstract

    In August 2021, rain front stagnation in Japan resulted in prolonged and disastrous rainfall across the entire country. During the heavy rainfall period, the large-scale atmospheric field over the East Asian–western North Pacific region was characterized by meridional tripolar circulation anomalies: the Okhotsk high (OH), the trough over the Korean Peninsula (Korean trough), and the northwestern Pacific subtropical high (NWPSH). Simultaneously, tropical convective activity was enhanced over the eastern Indian Ocean and suppressed over the tropical western–central Pacific. This study investigates the dynamic mechanism of linkage of the extratropical tripolar anomalies and the effects of tropical convective modulation using a reanalysis dataset, a cutoff low detection scheme, the potential vorticity inversion method, and numerical experiments. Upper-tropospheric blocking over eastern Siberia connected to the surface OH is conducive to the stagnation of synoptic depressions, including cutoff lows and troughs, over the Korean Peninsula, contributing to the development and maintenance of the quasi-stationary Korean trough. Rossby waves emanating from the Korean trough excite an anticyclonic anomaly over the northwestern Pacific. This upper-level anomalous anticyclone acts to enhance the surface NWPSH through zonal heat transport, accompanied by a northward tilting structure with height. Simultaneously, the tropical intraseasonal oscillation is amplified over the Indo–western Pacific Ocean sector under the negative-phase Indian Ocean dipole and multi-year La Niña conditions. The combination of enhanced convection over the eastern Indian Ocean and suppressed convection across the tropical western–central Pacific reinforces the NWPSH. The anomalous circulation associated with the extratropical tripolar pattern and concurrent tropical heat forcing causes more moisture transport, convergence, and anomalous ascent, which contribute to heavy rainfall in Japan. These results suggest that the dynamically correlated amplification of tropical and extratropical circulation anomalies plays a crucial role in precipitation variability in East Asia.

  • Interhemispheric Synchronization Between the AO and the AAO

    Abstract

    Teleconnections between lower and higher latitude regions are widely known in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. To broaden our view of these teleconnections, we searched a reanalysis data set for evidence of a teleconnection between the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), two widely separated circumpolar phenomena. Statistical analysis of the Japanese 55‐year reanalysis data set showed significant in‐phase synchronization between the AO and AAO, particularly in October and February, with a vertical structure extending from the troposphere to the stratosphere. This vertical structure may suggest a stratospheric control, and we did not find a significant signature indicating a tropical ocean control. We also observed decadal‐scale modulation of the synchronicity. Observational evidence implies that the stratospheric meridional circulation may be responsible for AO‐AAO synchronization.

    Variations of air temperature in Hokkaido during winter are characterized by the presence of two minima in ten-day normals; days 21-30 (end of January) and days 41-50 (middle of February). We name this tendency the "W-phenomenon", which is significant in the northern coastal area of Hokkaido facing the Sea of Okhotsk. The second minimum occurs when the ice cover is most extensive along the Okhotsk coast of Hokkaido. We examine this relation using rotated principal component analysis (RPCA). The RPCA results show that the second mode is a factor of the ice cover that is related to the second minimum. However, the correlation coefficient between rotated principal components of the second mode and ice concentration is rather low, -0.56. The RPCA results also show that the wind field is another factor that governs the "W-phenomenon". The relationship between the rotated principal components and wind directions shows that the drop in temperature in Hokkaido is associated with not only heavy ice cover but also northeasterly wind. Two mechanisms of the northeasterly wind system are expected : weak winds from an anticyclone over Okhotsk ice cover off Hokkaido and strong winds from a cyclone over the Pacific Ocean off the southeast coast of Hokkaido. Both these cases are possibly caused by the heavy ice cover in the Sea of Okhotsk. In the former mechanism, the wind directly carries cold air flow cooled over the sea ice. In the latter, the heavy ice cover prevents cyclones from moving into the Sea of Okhotsk.

    本研究の目的は、近年の極端気象による風水害の頻発化・激甚化による地域社会生活環境への影響評価を通じて、気象災害に関する「地域持続可能度」を評価することである。本評価を地域力指標とした「災害や環境変化に強い地域社会」の構築に向け、次世代に引き継ぐ新しい学問分野「地域災害環境システム学」を提唱する。本研究で対象とする新潟地域は国内でも風水害が多く、近年は急速な人口減少による地域力低下も顕著で、我が国の行く末が先行する課題先進地域であり、地球温暖化による数度の気温上昇を見据えた中長期的視野も踏まえた地方再生・創生のロールモデルを提唱する。
    2021年度はまず「(1)地域を知る-地域社会の多階層構造の診断による地域力評価-」の取り組みを開始した。本課題メンバーが個々の研究において連携してきた各市町村(小千谷市、阿賀町、出雲崎町、関川村、佐渡市)を対象地域として、急速に進む人口減少の中で災害や環境変化に向き合う地域力の変遷の評価体制の検討を進めている。しかしながら各市町村により大きく状況が異なることから並行調査体制を見直し、初めに佐渡市を対象として課題メンバーの協働体制で「地域持続可能度」評価の検討を実施することとし、現地調査を開始した。この過程で、本学研究企画室主任URA長谷川佐知子氏に研究協力者として参画頂き、今後も継続して本課題をご支援頂くこととなった。
    新学問分野「地域災害環境システム学」に関しては、本学で展開する全学分野横断創生プログラム(NICE)のマイナー学修パッケージ開設の準備を本課題メンバーに加え学内教員の協力の中で進め、2022年4月に14科目で構成される「地域災害環境システム」パッケージとして開設された。必修科目の「地域災害環境システム学入門」は定員30名に対して約80名の履修希望があり、順調な滑り出しと言える。

    異常天候をもたらす「犯人」は大気だけなのか?東アジアには縁辺海(東シナ海・黄海・日本海・オホーツク海)が存在する.縁辺海は,海洋上を東進する低気圧の「ゆりかご」である.ゆりかごの中で動く低気圧は,ゆりかごを再び揺らし,また低気圧を揺らす.言い換えれば,「縁辺海上で発生した低気圧に伴って吹く風は海流を駆動し、海流による熱の輸送は水温分布を変える.水温は海面での熱交換を経て気圧分布に反映され風系を変え,その風がまた海流を駆動する.つまり大気と海洋は不可分一体の平衡状態または振動系である」この新概念を船舶等による機動的観測と技巧的数値実験を融合し実証することを研究目的とする.
    2020年度は本格的観測に入る前の観測準備のため,日本海近傍や東シナ海を母港に持つ練習船を有する機関の研究分担者や協力者,そして担当の航海士と船舶観測のすりあわせ等昨年度の引き続き行った.また,離島に大気海洋観測装置を設置した.また測器開発なども行った.それらを踏まえ,冬期には日本海の発生する雪雲と海洋環境のラジオゾンデ観測を実施した.それに平行して,海洋が大気に及ぼす影響や縁辺海の長期変動に関する数値的統計的研究を昨年度から引き続き実施した.大気海洋の物理過程が,海洋生物生産過程へ及ぼす影響についての予備調査にも着手した.また気象キャスター等と連携した一般メディアでの情報発信活動も積極的に行った.海氷や海面水温が厳冬に及ぼす効果や,大気へ遠隔的に及ぼす影響や冷たいオホーツク海が梅雨に及ぼす影響,台風の進路誤差の研究,日本海の水温の長期トレンドなど特筆すべき新たな研究成果が原著論文となった.

    The cutoff low is a cold air system in the upper troposphere that often accompanies extreme weather events such as tornadoes and wind gusts that cause disasters. The cutoff-low (COL) index, which objectively evaluates the location of the center, intensity, and radius of influence of the cutoff low, has been developed to improve the lead time for predicting extreme weather events associated with cold extremes. The COL index is available as the COL Map on the "Cutoff Low Tracking and Monitoring System," a website for monitoring cold air behaviors in the upper troposphere at Niigata University.

    he Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) are dominant atmospheric variability patterns in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, respectively. Each is a pressure seesaw between the pole and the midlatitudes that remotely affects weather, climate, and environment around the world. We showed interhemispheric in-phase synchronization between the AO and AAO in October and February, and we also found decadal-scale variation of the synchronicity. Because the vertical structure of the AO-AAO synchronization extends from the troposphere to the stratosphere, stratospheric variations may be responsible for the synchronization. This finding of AO-AAO synchronization points the way to a better understanding of past, present, and future pole-to-pole climatic relationships and improvements in long-term weather forecasts.

    Due to change the horizontal place of generation and intensity of snowfalls by passing route of cyclones, it is difficult to understand the actual status of extreme snowfall phenomenon in the areas of the Pacific Ocean. In this study, spatio-temporal fluctuations of snow depth distribution were analyzed in a climatological context to assess the regional characteristics of snowfall amount and intensity after the cyclone passage the south coast of Japan. The result demonstrate the annual frequency of heavy snowfall varies depending on the areas, and the gradient of snow depth distribution of on the mountain tends to be smaller than those of the area facing the Sea of Japan.

    We investigated the relationships between the maintenance and predictability variations of blocking characterized by a pronounced meandering of the midlatitude westerly jet stream and an upstream storm track which is a frequent region of travelling highs and lows, via both diagnostic study of reanalysis data and weather forecast experiments. Through case study, we found that the maintenance of blocking is supported by the interaction with the storm track and predictability variation of the block maintenance is related to strength (efficiency) of the interaction.
    We also investigated how error in the initial values for weather-forecast experiments existing at an extratropical region propagates by using the reanalysis data and a weather forecast model same as the above study. Results showed that the error propagate eastward from initial positions via the westerly jet stream in the upper troposphere.

    Extreme weather events often bring natural hazards in Japan. In particular, heavy snowfall brings great damages for inhabitants life with various disasters. Associated with recent Arctic climate changes, cold waves often attack the Far East region during winter in recent 10 years, which caused many extreme heavy snowfall events in Japan. Towards understandings of such extreme snowfall events in Japan, we developed an online auto-collecting system using weather observational network. Further, we constructed “Real-time analysis system”based on integrated data auto-collecting and analyzing system through installation of regional weather forecast models.
