Newtalk新聞 7日才立冬，北極高空卻出現劇烈變化。前中央氣象署長鄭明典今(5)日指出，原本應該盤踞在北極上空的冷空氣極渦一分為二，雙雙往南偏離北極圈，且對流層呈現由「波數2」逐漸分裂為「波數4」的結構特徵；其中一股冷空氣將於明日偏北出海，預計明晚影響日韓，日本甚至有機會下雪。 鄭明典解釋，所謂的「極渦」指的是極地上空的低氣壓。一般來說，極地上空的氣候平均狀態應該是一個接近圓形、中心在北極附近的低氣壓；但現在卻出現明顯的兩個低壓中心，且雙雙位在北緯60度附近，算是暫時脫離北極圈，因此目前正處於「兩個分裂極渦」的狀態。 甚至在對流層中，原本的「兩個分裂極渦(波數2)」，現在已逐漸分裂成「4個冷空氣(波數4)」的結構特徵，且其中一股最明顯的冷空氣，將於明日偏北出海。鄭明典也PO出氣溫距平圖說明，圖中藍紫色代表比氣候平均冷的區域，紅棕色則是比氣候平均暖的區域。 基本上，高緯度的冷空氣會隨著槽後的西北風往東南方向移出，其中最明顯的一股冷空氣正往東北亞移動(即圖中標示冷空氣的區域)。這股往東北亞流出的冷空氣，明天晚上將會影響日韓；屆時朝鮮半島一帶屬於乾冷型態，而日本北海道和本州北部因水氣較多，有機會出現飄雪。至於另外3股冷空氣強度較弱，則分別往太平洋、歐洲及大西洋方向移動。延伸閱讀：要變天了！今起2波東北季風接力南下 未來一週天氣趨勢一圖看統一星巴克去冰加價惹議！網跨海投訴美總部 總公司回應曝光霸王級寒流今冬再現？鄭明典看1觀測指標：平流層暖變「明顯偏早」煙花颱風「重返中颱」！生成逾12天已開始北轉 鄭明典揭最新結構超強聖嬰年不代表沒寒流！北極上空4天增溫15度 鄭明典揭「極渦分裂」異象
