摘要:

当前的COVID-19大流行正在全球范围内产生不利影响。疫情于2020年1月底至2月初开始强劲发展,首先在中国,随后迅速蔓延至其他国家,新的疫情中心主要集中在北纬30至50度范围内(例如,韩国、日本、伊朗、意大利、西班牙)。与此同时,在全球范围内观察到北纬40度左右普遍存在一种不寻常的持续反气旋情况,这与北极涛动的异常强烈的正相位相一致。这种非典型的情况可能导致有利的气象条件,使病毒在上述纬度带上更快地传播。这种可能的联系需要进一步关注,以了解与COVID-19爆发相关的气象和气候因素,并预测未来可能的大流行病的时空分布。

英文摘要:

The current COVID-19 pandemic is having detrimental consequences worldwide. The pandemic started to develop strongly by the end of January and beginning of February 2020, first in China with subsequent rapid spread to other countries with new epicenters of the outbreaks concentrated mainly within the 30-50 degrees North latitudinal band (e.g., South Korea, Japan, Iran, Italy, Spain). Simultaneously, an unusual persistent anticyclonic situation prevailing at latitudes around 40 degrees North was observed on global scale, in line with an anomalously strong positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation. This atypical situation could have resulted in favorable meteorological conditions for a quicker spread of the virus over the latitude band detailed above. This possible connection needs further attention in order to understand the meteorological and climatological factors related to the COVID-19 outbreak, and for anticipating the spatio-temporal distribution of possible future pandemics.
