Abstract

The western equatorial Pacific Ocean, where sea surface temperature is the warmest on the globe, is characterized by numerous convective systems and large annual precipitation. In this region, the cloudiness data with tops higher than 8km level obtained from the GMS-IR data are used to investigate the diurnal variation of cloudiness. The amplitude and phase of diurnal and semi-diurnal cycles are mainly investigated to examine details on the temporal and spatial structure of clouds. Cloudiness variation has typical cycles and each cycle is associated with the air-sea interactive phenomena. Spectral analysis on the cloudiness time series data indicates that 30-60 day, 17-20day, 7-8 day, diurnal and semi diurnal cycle are peaked. During Northern Winter and Southern Summer, the large cloudiness exsists over New Guinea, the adjacent seas of North Australia, and the open oceanic regions east of $160^{\circ}$E. Cloudiness diurnal variability over the lands and their adjacent seas is about 2.0 times larger than that over the open sea regions. That may be due to the difference of specific heat between the land and sea. The maximum and minimum cloudiness appeared at 18:00 and 09:00 hours over the land, and at noon and 21:00 hours over the sea, respectively. The amplitude of diurnal component over the land is 4,7 times larger than that of semi-diurnal component, and 1.5 times over the sea.

지구상에서 가장 따뜻한 해수면 온도를 가지고 있는 열대 서태평양은 많은 대류 시스템 과 큰 연강수략에 의해 특징지워진다. GMS-IR 자료로부터 얻어진 운량자료를 이용하여 이 지역 에서의 운량 일변동을 조사하였다. 구름의 시공간적인 분포에 관한 특징은 주로 운량의 일주기 및 반일주기 성분의 진폭과 주기를 통해 조사되었다. 대기-해양의 상호작용에 의해 운량 변동에는 다양한 주기들이 나타났는데, 특히 30-60일, 17-20 일, 7-8일, 일주기와 반일주긱가 탁월하였다. 북반구 겨울(남반구 여름) 기간 동안 뉴기니아, 호주 북부에 인접한 해양 그리고 160도E 동쪽에서 큰 운량이 분포하는 것으로 조사되었다. 육지와 인 접 해성에서의 운량 일변동은 외양의 경우에 비해 약 2배 정도 크게 나타났는데, 이것은 주로 해 양과 육지의 전형적인 비열차에 기인한 것으로 여겨진다. 운량의 최대치와 최소치는 육상의 경우 18:00시와 09:00시에 나타났고, 외양에서는 정오와 21:00시에 나타났다. 1일주기 성분의 진폭은 반 일주기 성분에 비해 육상에서 4.7배, 외양에서 1.5배 정도 크게 나타났다.
