Abstract

By using the monthly global planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) and sensible heat reanalysis data provided by the NCEP/CFSR, utilizing different statistical methods, the trend of the planetary boundary layer height and sensible heat are discussed.The relationships of PBLH and sensible heat have been studied with singular value decomposition (SVD).The results are showed as following.The trend of PBLH in summer increased in the east of eastern Asia, but decreased in the west of the region.The trend of PBLH in winter increased in the west of eastern Asia, but decreased in the east of the eastern Asia.In summer, the trend of sensible heat decreased in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau but increased in the other regions.The trend of sensible heat in winter decreased in the Xinjiang region and the east of China, but increased in the east of the eastern Asia.In summer, the first mode of singular vectors (SVD1) is founded when the sensible heat reduced in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau; the PBLH in the corresponding region reduced.When the sensible heat increased in the east of Inner Mongolia and the northeast China, the PBLH in the corresponding regions increased.The SVD1 is characteristic of interdecadal variation.For the SVD1, to a certain extent, the changes of PBLH in the Tibet Plateau, Eastern Inner Mongolia and Northeast China are mainly influenced by the surface heating.The SVD2 in summer shows when the sensible heat increased (or reduced) in the north of China and the south side of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, the PBLH in the corresponding regions increased (or reduced).The SVD2 in summer is characteristic of interannul variation.This mode shows the difference of both PBLH and sensible heat in the region of the south side of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and that in the main body of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.In winter, the SVD1 shows the out-of-phase distribution between the regions of east of eastern Asia and west of eastern Asia.The SVD2 in winter shows the out-of-phase distribution between the both of the North and East China regions and the other regions.Those two of modes in winter are characteristic of interdecadal variations.In the region of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and its south side, and the arid and semi-arid region of northwest China, the PBLH changes are mainly influenced by surface heating, but in the eastern monsoon regions, the change of sensible heat is only one of the factors affecting the change of PBLH.
