In this article, the climatological state and the seasonal variability of the Arabian heat low (AHL) and the intertropical discontinuity (ITD) are investigated over the Arabian Peninsula using the 1979–2019 ERA-5 reanalysis data. The AHL is a summertime feature, mostly at 15°–35°N and 40°–60°E, exhibiting a clear strengthening over the last four decades in line with the observed increase in surface temperature. However, no clear shift in its position is detected. The AHL, driven by both thermodynamic and dynamic forcing, is broader and stronger during daytime and exhibits considerable variability on day-to-day timescales, likely due to the convection associated with the Asian summer monsoon. The ITD is the boundary between the hot and dry desert air and the cooler and more moist air from the Arabian Sea. It lies along the Arabian Peninsula's southern coastline in the cold season but reaches up to 28°N between 50° and 60°E in the summer months. While in the former it has a rather small diurnal variability; in the latter it shows daily fluctuations of up to 10° in latitude. The presence of the Sarawat Mountains over southwestern Saudi Arabia precludes a northward migration of the ITD in this area. The ITD exhibited a weak northward migration in the 41-year period, likely due to the increased sea surface temperatures in the Arabian Sea. On inter-annual timescales, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the Indian Ocean Dipole, and solar-geomagnetic effects play an important role in the AHL's and ITD's variability.

阿拉伯半岛高温低气压和热带间断面的气候学

在本文中,使用 1979-2019 ERA-5 再分析数据研究了阿拉伯半岛的气候状态和阿拉伯热低温 (AHL) 和热带间断面 (ITD) 的季节变化。AHL 是夏季特征,主要位于 15°–35°N 和 40°–60°E,在过去 40 年中表现出明显的加强,与观察到的地表温度升高一致。然而,没有检测到其位置的明显变化。由热力学和动力强迫共同驱动的 AHL 在白天更广泛和更强,并且在日常时间尺度上表现出相当大的变化,这可能是由于与亚洲夏季风相关的对流。ITD 是炎热干燥的沙漠空气与来自阿拉伯海的凉爽潮湿空气之间的分界线。它位于阿拉伯半岛' 在寒冷季节的南部海岸线,但在夏季的几个月中,在 50° 和 60°E 之间达到 28°N。而在前者中,它具有相当小的昼夜变化;在后者中,它显示了纬度高达 10° 的每日波动。沙特阿拉伯西南部的 Sarawat 山脉阻止了 ITD 在该地区向北迁移。ITD 在 41 年期间表现出微弱的向北迁移,可能是由于阿拉伯海海面温度升高。在年际时间尺度上,厄尔尼诺-南方涛动、印度洋偶极子和太阳-地磁效应在 AHL 和 ITD 的变率中发挥着重要作用。在后者中,它显示了纬度高达 10° 的每日波动。沙特阿拉伯西南部的 Sarawat 山脉阻止了 ITD 在该地区向北迁移。ITD 在 41 年期间表现出微弱的向北迁移,可能是由于阿拉伯海海面温度升高。在年际时间尺度上,厄尔尼诺-南方涛动、印度洋偶极子和太阳-地磁效应在 AHL 和 ITD 的变率中发挥着重要作用。在后者中,它显示了纬度高达 10° 的每日波动。沙特阿拉伯西南部的 Sarawat 山脉阻止了 ITD 在该地区向北迁移。ITD 在 41 年期间表现出微弱的向北迁移,可能是由于阿拉伯海海面温度升高。在年际时间尺度上,厄尔尼诺-南方涛动、印度洋偶极子和太阳-地磁效应在 AHL 和 ITD 的变率中发挥着重要作用。
