Abstract:
A tropical cyclone is divided into inner and outer regions in which temporal and spacial scales and physical quantities are all different.Making use of the scale analysis and perturbation methods the gov-erning equations of barotropic and baroclinic models are obtained for the two regions, respectively.In the two models the stream and presure fields are solved analytically and the obtained structures are ap- proximately consistent with observations.It is shown that there are different governing equations for the inner and outer regions of the tropical cyclone.The inner region is governed by the cyclostrophic wind and an evolution equation, the outer region by the gradient wind and another evolution equation.

Abstract:
Based on the thermodynamic characteristics of the summer monsoon and foe change of the lower layer wind fields, the relation between the early summer flood periods of southern China, Including the first flood period of South China and the plum rains period of the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the activities of the summer monsoon is analysed.The establishment processes of the summer monsoon circulation of East Asia are investigated.It is shown that the beginning and ending of the flood periods are exactly in accordance with the arrival and departure of the fore boundary of the summer monsoon.The establishment process of the circulation from the very beginning of the arrival of the monsoon to the time of great prosperity of development are not the same for each year.They can be classified into four categories.Each category may have four or three stages.Besides, the structure of the summer monsoon regime of East Asia is not unitary.There exist four types of structure model of the monsoon regime of East Asia.

Abstract:
The characteristics of 200 hPa divergent wind and velocity potential have been analysed for four kinds of tropical cyclone tracks having impact on the SOuth China Sea.It is found that the difference of monsoon circulation in 200 hPa divergence wind field may affect the medium-range movement characteristics of tropical cyclone tracks.Corresponding to the west Pacific subtropical high,the orientation of 200 hPa secondary convergence line and its extension to the west may indicate the variability of track types.The direction of tropical cyclone movement is 2 longitudes west of and parallel to the 200 hPa secondary divergence line.

Abstract:
Using 2.5 ×2.5 winds and pressure grid data, the angular momentum budgets are studied in this paper for TC 9012 (Yancy) which was kept active 65 hours after land fall.It is found that the inland TC 9012 moved into the center of a relatively stable saddle, in which large amount of humid air was entrained into the storm from the southerly jet at low level to bund up the energy of latent heat, the weak cold air coming from the north provided it with baroclinic energy, while the vorticity transfer of geostrophic angular momentum on the radius 4°-8°from the cyclone center at upper troposphere and the input of cyclonic angular momentum produced by the βterm are immediate factors maintaining the central pressure and maximum winds.

Abstract:
Using the equatorial balanced model and the low-corder spectral method to consider the effect of the basic flow, the primary and secondary shear flows, the nonlinear equation describing the winter and summer monsoon in south Asia is derived.The stress is on the influence of the flows on the formation,transformation and intensity of the monsoon in south Asia.The results show that the influence on the monsoon in south Asia is significantly different among the primary shear flow, the basic flow and the secondary shear flow.

Abstract:
Experiments for short range forecasting of typhoon tracks over the South China Sea Region were carried out using limited-area numerical model recently developed by the authors.Due to the shortage of sounding data over the sea, typhoon circulations are usually obtained incompletely from objective analysis, or with significant deviation of the centre from reality.Therefore a set of schemes for typhoon initialization are proposed here to construct a bogus typhoon with the circulation being consistent with the physical processes included in the limited-area model.Based on the schemes bogus data over the model grids are created and analysed together with conventional observational data.Then the normal model initialization scheme is issued to further modulate the model typhoon with the numeriCal modeel.Some experiments of sensitivity in various aspects are conducted for further improvement of typhoon track predictions.The experimental results for a number of typhoon landing in southern China in 1993 and 1994 shows that the limited-area model is capable of predicting typhoon tracks in the southern China region.

Abstract:
In this paper, a study on the variation of annual frequency of tropical cyclone (TC) and its relation with SST, Southern Oscillation index, sunspot relative number and number of days for specific circulation patterns was made by using 1884-1988 data of annual frequency for Northwest Pacific TC occurrence, which had been corrected to tendencies.Preliminary results indicated that in the variation of annual TC frequency there exist obvious p.6riods of 21, 31, 15 and 6 years and sustaining periods lasting 12 years in average.Well-defined processes of inflexion were observed in 1931, 1959 and 1977 over the past hundred years.The results also suggested insignificant statistic tendency of annual TC frequency increasing (decreasing) in winter/spring (summer/autumn )in the El Nino years.When the stratosphere was in the zonally westerly phase, the northern zonal circulation would abnormally develop and solar activity would enhance to favour the generation and development of TC.

Abstract:
A numerical investigation of diabatically induced stationary waves in northern winter season was carried out by using a linear steady state spectral model with primitive equations in global domain.It was focused on inter-hemispheric connections of stationary wave behaviour in response to several cases of idealized thermal forcings centred in different latitudes.The results showed that the thermally forced stationary waves in one hemisphere might propagate across the equator into the other hemisphere, and thus contribute substantially to the maintenance and variation of the stationary waves in both bendspheres.

Abstract:
Starting from the Saltzman's air-sea stochastic climatic model, we have derived a langevin-type equation describing SST fluctuation and the related pokker-Plank expression, which were then numerically solved with parameters given, yielding the probability density curve P(x, t) of multiple bifurcations, with the Cantor set of images given in phase space of P(x, t) and P(x, t+τ), thereby indicating that chaotic output comes from the random system under the conditions of the above parameters.

Abstract:
By using a linear and stationary atmospheric model (Luo and Jiang, 1994, Zebiak and Cane,1987) and the initial data coming from Zebiak and Cane (1987), the influence of interaction between shift of warm pool and that of the equatorial convergence zone (ITCZ and SPCZ ) on atmospheric surface stream field and divergence field during 82/83 ENSO is analysed by numerical experiments.The results show that SPCZ is more important than ITCZ in developing phase and mature phase of warm event.The interaction of warm Pool and SPCZ is stronger than that of warm pool and ITCZ in the two phases.SPCZ is as important as ITCZ in the initial phase and decline phase of warm event.

Abstract:
Using observational data and the data of disastrous investigation of tornado in Zhujiang River Delta and Guangzhou's sounding from March to May of 1976-1983, the environmental conditions of genesis of tornado are analysed and compared with those of nontornadic local storm.It is found that the favorable conditions of genesis of tornado are lower pressure, unstable stratification and stronger wind in the deep layer of troposphere and higher temperature and humidity in low level, among which, lower pressure, more unstable stratification and layer wind are primary conditions for a severe local storm to possibly develop into a storm with accompanying tornado.The tornado mechanism is not related to vertical wind shear.
