将Hoskins等提出的准地转Q矢量表达式推广到地转动量近似下的Q矢量表达式,并讨论了如何在天气图上用地转动量近似下的Q矢量表达式定性估计垂直运动方向的方法。地转动量近似下的Q矢量与准地转Q矢量相比,表达式中多了与位势高度极值和风速极值相关的两项,分别将地转动量近似下的Q 矢量表达式中的每一项写成在天气图上便于判断的表达式。结果表明,在天气图上可以通过以下三种方式定性判断垂直运动方向:一是当等高线呈波状槽脊形式及通过急流的入口和出口区时,使用地转动量近似下的Q矢量的第一项(即准地转Q 矢量)加以判断;二是当存在闭合气压系统且等高线与风向有交角时,使用地转动量近似下的Q矢量的第二项加以判断;三是在急流核上使用地转动量近似下的Q矢量的第三项加以判断。
In this paper, we extend the expression of quasi-geostrophic Q-vector brought forward by Hoskins et al. into the Q-vector equation under the condition of geostrophic momentum approximation, and discuss the method of how to quantitatively estimate vertical motion in synoptic charts with Q-vector expression under geostrophic momentum ap-proximation. Compared with the expression of quasi-geostrophic Q-vector, the Q-vector expression under geostrophic momentum approximation has two more terms which are related to geopotential height extremum and wind velocity extremum. Then, each term of Q-vector under geostrophic momentum approximation is transformed into the expres-sion which is conveniently judged in synoptic charts. The results show that to judge vertical motions in synoptic chart quantitatively, one of the three ways can be used: when contour line presents the form of wave-like trough-ridge and passes through the entrance and exit areas of jet stream, correspondingly use the 1st term of Q-vector under geostrophic momentum approximation (i.e., quasi-geostrophic Q-vector); when there exist a closed pressure system and an angle between contour line and wind velocity, correspondingly use the 2nd term of Q-vector under geostrophic momentum approximation; at the jet streak, correspondingly use the 3rd term of Q-vector under geostrophic momentum approxi-mation.
