Modernweatherforecast
Inthepasthundredyears,somemeteorologicalleadershavemadefulluseofthecombinationoflarge-scalegroundandupperairobservationdataandmathematicalmethods,whichhasstronglypromotedthedevelopmentofweatherforecasttheory.Andtheimprovementoftheweatherforecastservicelevel.OneisthecirculationtheoryandcyclonewavemodeloftheNorwegianschool,andthesecondisthelongwavetheoryoftheChicagoschool,whichhasmadeoutstandingcontributionstothedevelopmentofmeteorologicalsciencerecognizedworldwide.
ThecorefigureoftheNorwegianSchoolisV.Peyknis(1862-1951).Hehasbeenunremittinglytransformingmeteorologyfromrandomobservationaldatacollectionandaccidentalspeculativeforecastingtorigorousscience,andiscommittedtoimprovingtheaccuracyofweatherforecastsandlong-termweatherforecasts.Hiswishwastotransformmeteorologyintoanauthoritativediscipline,andthiswishwasrealizedwhenheworkedattheBergenSchoolofMeteorology.Military,agriculture,aviation,andfisherieshavequicklybecomeindustriesthatrelyonPeyknis’researchresults.Attheendofthe19thcentury,heputforwardarevolutionaryideaofapplyingtheprinciplesoffluidmechanicsandthermodynamicstoatmosphericmotion.Hisimportantachievementsinclude:in1897,hestudiedthecirculationmovementintheatmosphereandintroducedtheconceptofforcetubeforthefirsttime;in1904,heproposedtheconceptofdigitalweatherforecast;in1910,heproposedtodrawstreamlinesontheweathermaptorepresentthehorizontalmovementoftheair.Italsoanalyzestheconvergenceanddivergencezones;in1918,thedifferencebetweencoldandwarmfrontsinalow-pressureweathersystemwasdiscovered,andtheconceptofcoldandwarmfrontswasestablished,andFrontwasthenameoftheinterfacebetweenthecoolingandheatingmasses.
ThereisalsoacorefigureoftheNorwegianschool,cloudphysicistBergeron,whonotonlycontributedtothephysicsofclouds,butalsomadeachievementsintheclassificationofweatherconditions.Hesystematicallysortedoutthevariousdataheobservedandcollected,andin1919proposedthetheoryofthecycloneimprisonmentstage,whichenrichedthecyclonelifehistorymodel.Inhisdoctoraldissertation,healsoproposedconceptssuchasairmassclassification,frontalzone,andfrontogenesis,whichmadeimportantcontributionstoweatheranalysisandforecasting.
ChicagoSchoolbeganbrewinginthe1930s,formedandreacheditspeakinthe1940s,andcontinuedtoprosperinthe1950sand1970s.C.G.Robes(1898-1957),thecorefigureoftheChicagoSchool(orAmericanSchool),discoveredlongwavesonhigh-altitudeweathercharts.In1939,heproposedthelong-wavedynamics,derivedthepotentialvorticityequationfromthis,andfoundedthelong-wavetheory.Inthe1940s,theChicagoSchoolunderhisleadership,includingE.HPalmenandothers,confirmedthestructureandchangesofhigh-altitudewesterlyjetsandlongwaves,aswellastheirrelationshipwithcyclonewavesontheground.RossbyandtheChicagoSchool’smajorcontributiontoweatherforecastingisthe"RosbyWave",alsoknownasthe"AtmosphericLongWave".TheworkoftheChicagoSchoolhasstrengthenedtheconnectionbetweensynopticsandthermodynamicsanddynamics,enrichedthephysicalfoundationofweatheranalysisandforecasting,andprovidedtheoreticalbasisforthestudyoflarge-scaleatmosphericmotion,andpromotedthedevelopmentandapplicationofnumericalweatherprediction.
Modernweatherforecast
Modernweatherforecastismarkedbythegradualreplacementofconventionalweathermapforecastswithmoderndetectiontechnologies(weathersatellitesandweatherradars)andnumericalweatherforecastmodelssupportedbyhigh-speedcomputers.Theapplicationofthesetechnologiesandmethodsinweatherforecastingroughlybeganinthe1950s.
Forecastingmethods
Doublestations
Beforethe17thcentury,peoplemadeweatherproverbsbyobservingthechangesincelestialandphysicalphenomenatopredictthelocalweatherinthefuture.Afterthe17thcentury,meteorologicalobservationinstrumentssuchasthermometersandbarometersappearedoneafteranother,andgroundmeteorologicalstationswereestablishedoneafteranother.Atthistime,weatherforecastsweremainlybasedonchangesinsingle-stationairpressure,temperature,wind,andclouds.
Weathermap
In1851,theUnitedKingdomfirsttransmittedobservationdataviatelegram,drawnitintoagroundweathermap,andmadeweatherforecastsbasedontheweathermap.Sincethe1920s,airmasstheoryandpolarfronttheoryhavebeenappliedtoweatherforecasting.Inthe1930s,theinventionofradiosondes,theemergenceofhigh-altitudeweathermaps,andthewideapplicationoflong-wavetheoryinweatherforecastinghaveadvancedtheanalysisofweatherevolutionfromtwo-dimensionaltothree-dimensional.Inthelate1940s,theapplicationofweatherradarprovidedaneffectivetoolforforecastingprecipitationandsevereweathersuchastyphoons,heavyrains,andseverestorms.
Numericalweatherforecasting
Numericalweatherforecastingusesatmosphericmotionequationstointegrateequationsundercertaininitialandboundaryconditionstoforecastfutureweather.In1921,Richardsonfirsttriedtousenumericalmethodstoforecasttheweather.Becauseofthehugeamountofcalculationwork,heorganizedalotofmanpoweranddesigneddetailedcalculationtablestocomplete.However,theforecastresultswereseriouslyinconsistentwiththeactualatmosphericchanges.Thereasonwasthattheeffectsofhigh-frequencywavesintheatmospherewerenothandledproperly.In1950,Charneyusedtheworld'sfirstcomputerENIACtosuccessfullyproducea24-hournumericalforecastbasedontheatmosphericmotionequationsafterfilteringouthigh-frequencywaves.Withthedevelopmentofcomputertechnology,theadvancementofobservationmethods,andthedeepeningofunderstandingofatmosphericphysicalprocesses,numericalweatherpredictionhasmadegreatprogressandhasbecomethemainmeansofweatherforecasting.Especiallysincethelaunchofmeteorologicalsatellitesinthe1960s,thesatellite'sdetectiondatahavemadeupforthelackofmeteorologicaldatainareassuchasoceans,deserts,polarregions,andplateaus,whichhassignificantlyimprovedthelevelofweatherforecasting.
