温带气旋的暖传送带(WCB)通常分为两个分支。一个分支(WCB1)反气旋地转向下游上层对流层脊,而第二个分支(WCB2)则以气旋方式缠绕在气旋中心周围。在这里,使用两个数值模型(英国气象局统一模型和 COSMO 模型)对典型北大西洋冷季气旋中的 WCB 分裂进行了分析。 WCB 流是使用离线轨迹分析来定义的。这两个模型一致地代表了 WCB 的划分。这种分裂发生在 WCB 演化的早期,WCB1 在低纬度地区经历了最大上升,并且水分含量高于 WCB2。 WCB1沿着冷锋突然上升,这里的解析上升速率最大,并且也存在线对流。相比之下,WCB2 在系统暖锋上经历饱和大规模上升之前,会在较低水平保持较长时间。 WCB1 流入中的水分越大,潜热释放带来的净潜在温度变化就越大,这决定了每个分支的最终等熵水平。 WCB1 还表现出比 WCB2 更低的流出位涡值。
The warm conveyor belt (WCB) of an extratropical cyclone generally splits into two branches. One branch (WCB1) turns anticyclonically into the downstream upper‐level tropospheric ridge, while the second branch (WCB2) wraps cyclonically around the cyclone centre. Here, the WCB split in a typical North Atlantic cold‐season cyclone is analysed using two numerical models: the Met Office Unified Model and the COSMO model. The WCB flow is defined using off‐line trajectory analysis. The two models represent the WCB split consistently. The split occurs early in the evolution of the WCB with WCB1 experiencing maximum ascent at lower latitudes and with higher moisture content than WCB2. WCB1 ascends abruptly along the cold front where the resolved ascent rates are greatest and there is also line convection. In contrast, WCB2 remains at lower levels for longer before undergoing saturated large‐scale ascent over the system's warm front. The greater moisture in WCB1 inflow results in greater net potential temperature change from latent heat release, which determines the final isentropic level of each branch. WCB1 also exhibits lower outflow potential vorticity values than WCB2.
