东亚季风既包含热带季风又包含副热带季风,他们之间存在的相互作用直接影响我国大范围旱涝灾害。东亚热带季风和东亚副热带季风作为两种性质不同的季风,其形成原因及其主要天气系统截然不同,对应的热带季风降水和副热带季风降水在结构、性质上自然也存在很大的差异。简要回顾我国气象学家在东亚热带季风降水及东亚副热带季风降水方面的研究成果,概述最近关于东亚副热带季风研究的热点问题,引证了利用星载测雨雷达对南海地区降水性质的部分研究结果,并对进一步利用星载测雨雷达资料开展季风及其降水研究进行了展望。
The East Asian monsoon consists of the subtropical monsoon and the tropical monsoon.Interrelated to each other,these two monsoon systems directly affect the rainfall distribution over China.As two distinct monsoons,the East Asian tropical monsoon and subtropical monsoon differ substantially in the formation and most weather systems,thus bringing different precipitation structure and precipitation characters.This paper is a brief review of Chinese meteorologists' results in East Asian tropical monsoon rainfall and subtropical monsoon rainfall,summarizes some hot spots in today's monsoon study,and make some advices for better understanding of monsoon rain in the future work.
