中纬度地区混合云中稳定同位素分馏的数学模拟—以乌鲁木齐降水为例(英)

介绍的数学模型考虑了混合云中液、固态共存时以及冰面过饱和环境下稳定同位素的动力分馏效应。利用该数学模型,模拟了不同冷却条件下稳定同位素的温度效应。在相同的湿度条件下,湿绝热冷却过程中δ18O随温度的变化率小于等压冷却过程。冰面过饱和比Si的增大意味着动力分馏效应的增大。与平衡态相比,它的作用使得稳定同位素的综合分馏系数减小,从而使得降水中δ18O随温度的变化趋缓。模拟显示,湿绝热冷却过程中大气水线(MWL:=bδ18o+d)的斜率b和常数d均大于等压冷却过程。全球大气水线位于湿绝热冷却过程和等压冷却过程条件下分别模拟的两条大气水线之间。b和d的大小与Si呈正比。Si愈大,动力分馏效应愈强,b和d也愈大。反之亦然。然而,b和d的大小对云中含水量的变化具有低的敏感性。利用动力分馏模式模拟了乌鲁木齐降水中稳定同位素的变化。模拟的稳定同位素比率-温度以及δD-δ18O曲线分别与乌鲁木齐实测的稳定同位素比率-温度同归线以及大气水线有非常好的一致性。

中国不同水体中δD与δ~(18)O研究进展

水体中氢氧稳定同位素对环境变化十分敏感,水汽蒸发、凝结至雨滴降落过程中,δD和δ18 O的变化与水汽来源及周围气象要素(温度、降水量、相对湿度等)之间存在密切的联系。研究不同水体中δD和δ18 O的时空分布特征可以探讨大气环流特征及全球和局地水循环机制,也可以为古气候、古环境的定量恢复与重建提供新依据,具有重要的应用意义。本文对中国不同水体中δD和δ18 O的研究进展进行综述,总结国内关于氢氧稳定同位素方面的研究进展和研究方法,探讨了其学科交叉与应用价值,并基于氢氧稳定同位素研究现状展望了未来研究的重点方向,以期为相关研究提供参考。     

由TES反演的大气水汽中δD的时空分布特征

水汽在大气中的输送具有空间上和时间上的连续性.利用水汽同位素可以更全面地分析水汽的来源、路径、水循环中各分量的再分配和补给形式,更深入地了解水循环中各种空间和时间尺度下水汽的连续变化特征和历史.本研究利用对流层发射光谱仪(TES)反演的825-100 hPa层间7个等压面上HDO和H2O数据分析了对流层不同层次大气水汽中δD的时空分布规律以及水汽中δD与大气湿度、大气温度的关系,探讨了水汽同位素与降水同位素的关系以及大尺度水循环过程对水汽同位素的可能影响.结果显示,在空间分布上,对流层大气中水汽δD具有非常明显的带状分布,水汽中δD的分布与可降水量的分布存在很好的对应关系;水汽中δD随垂直气压呈对数型递减,平均递减率由赤道向高纬度减小、陆地向海洋减小.在时间变化上,大气水汽中δD的季节变化存在地域性差别.在中低纬度陆地,水汽中δD的季节变化明显,且与可降水量的季节变化相对应;在中高纬度的许多地区,夏季水汽中δD小于冬季.对流层水汽中δD的空间分布和季节变化具有一致性特点,上对流层和下平流层间水汽中δD的空间分布和季节性变化特点与对流层相反.对流层大气水汽中的δD与层间平均温度和可降水量的相关关系具有相似的分布形势.与降水中的稳定同位素相比,水汽中的稳定同位素在空间分布、季节变化、与温度和湿度的关系上存在某些差异,反映二者在受稳定同位素分馏的影响和水循环中大气环流类型的影响方面存在明显差别.     

基于GCM的乌鲁木齐水汽稳定同位素变化特征及其与ENSO的关系

利用第二稳定水同位素比较小组(SWING2)提供的同位素大气环流模式(GCM)的模拟数据(Had AM3、LMDZ-free和LMDZ-nudge),以新疆乌鲁木齐为例,对比分析了该区域大气水汽中稳定同位素垂直剖面的季节变化,分析了同位素比率与气象要素之间的关系以及ENSO对大气水汽稳定同位素的影响。结果表明:各模拟结果中大气水汽中δ18O在季节变化上均表现为7月较高,1月较低;在垂直层面上,δ18O随气压的降低而逐渐减小。降水和水汽中δ18O的季节变化趋势一致,但由于瑞利分馏的影响,降水中δ18O比水汽中δ18O更富集。在垂直层面上,大气水汽中δ18O与温度呈正相关,与纬向风和经向风的相关性较小,降水中δ18O与纬向风和经向风的相关性也较小。在厄尔尼诺年,δ18O与SST呈负相关,在拉尼娜年则呈正相关,大气环流异常使研究区气温和降水发生变化,进一步也会影响水汽中的同位素值,ENSO一定程度上对研究区水汽同位素的变化产生影响。     

黑云杉林大气CO2稳定同位素组成δ13 C,δ18 O的分析

研究CO2稳定同位素特征可以揭示光合、呼吸作用等众多信息，从而有助于了解生态系统与环境之间的碳循环过程。利用大气CO2浓度及其稳定同位素的测定资料，分析稳定同位素比δ^13Cδ^18O，发现两者具有相似的时空分布特征。主要表现在δ^13C和δ^18O在冠层内具有明显的垂直变化趋势，冠层上部重同位素含量较高，而底部含量较低。从时间变化看，δ^13Cδ^18O在午后到日落具有较高的水平，而凌晨，δ^13Cδ^18O较低。运用Keeling图法分析δ^13Cδ^18O和CO2浓度的关系，发现δ^13C，值主要受光合和呼吸作用影响，与CO2浓度的高低密切相关；而δ^18O的变化比较复杂，因为δ^18O除受光合、呼吸强度影响外，还取决于环境空气湿度。     

利用树轮δ13C重建大气CO2浓度序列

目前 ,关于大气ＣＯ2 浓度的研究是科学界所热衷的问题 ,而树轮中碳同位素能反映树木生长时大气中的ＣＯ2 浓度 ,因此用测定树轮中碳同位素组成的方法已成为对大气ＣＯ2 进行研究的重要手段[1,2 ]。众所周知 ,自工业革命以来 ,大气ＣＯ2 浓度迅速增加 ,相应的δ13Ｃ减小 ,其主要原因是由于化石燃料的大量燃烧向大气中排放了大量的ＣＯ2 所致。大气ＣＯ2 浓度的增加必然对树木的生长产生影响 ,树轮中的δ13Ｃ很好地记录了ＣＯ2 浓度的增加趋势。本文利用采自于我国西天目山的柳杉树轮δ13Ｃ序列 ,通过分析其变化趋势 ,重建了近百年来的大气Ｃ…     

青海湖高寒湿地生态系统生长季大气水汽氢氧稳定同位素特征

基于对植物生长季大气水汽氢氧稳定同位素组成(δ~(18)O、δD)的原位连续观测数据,研究了青海湖高寒湿地生态系统大气水汽氢氧稳定同位素特征以及大气水汽δ~(18)O与主要环境因子的相关关系。结果显示:大气水汽中δ~(18)O和δD在0.5 m和1.5 m以及0.9 m和1.9 m之间差异性都很小,且季节变化趋势都表现为生长季中期低,前期和后期高。降水量、温度、相对湿度、蒸散和净辐射都是影响大气水汽δ~(18)O变化的重要环境因子,且各环境因子之间存在相互联系协同作用的关系。受研究区环境因子、大气水汽来源以及青海湖蒸发水汽的影响,表征当地大气水汽δ~(18)O和δD相关关系的大气水汽线方程MVL偏离全球大气降水线方程GMWL。     

水平风作用下雨滴水平速度的数值仿真

为了研究雨滴在水平风作用下的水平移动情况,在分析水平风作用下雨滴受力情况的基础上,通过对曳力系数与雷诺数对应关系的研究,采用数值仿真的方法分别对海平面大气条件和不同大气条件下雨滴水平运动速度进行仿真.结果表明:当有水平风作用时,雨滴的水平运动速度不等于风的速度,而是随雨滴直径和水平风速的变化而变化;在水平风作用下,雨滴的水平移动速度可以在较短的时间内(一般小于15 s)达到一个稳定的值;在水平风速相同的情况下,气压越高、温度越低,雨滴达到平衡时的水平移动末速度相对越大,反之则越小.这些结论对基于图像采集原理的光学降水自动观测仪器进行雨滴图像拼合有重要的应用价值.     

CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS OF CLIMATIC EXTREMES IN CHINA DURING 1959–2014

The spatial and temporal variations of daily maximum temperature(Tmax), daily minimum temperature(Tmin), daily maximum precipitation(Pmax) and daily maximum wind speed(WSmax) were examined in China using Mann-Kendall test and linear regression method. The results indicated that for China as a whole, Tmax, Tmin and Pmax had significant increasing trends at rates of 0.15℃ per decade, 0.45℃ per decade and 0.58 mm per decade,respectively, while WSmax had decreased significantly at 1.18 m·s~(-1) per decade during 1959—2014. In all regions of China, Tmin increased and WSmax decreased significantly. Spatially, Tmax increased significantly at most of the stations in South China(SC), northwestern North China(NC), northeastern Northeast China(NEC), eastern Northwest China(NWC) and eastern Southwest China(SWC), and the increasing trends were significant in NC, SC, NWC and SWC on the regional average. Tmin increased significantly at most of the stations in China, with notable increase in NEC, northern and southeastern NC and northwestern and eastern NWC. Pmax showed no significant trend at most of the stations in China, and on the regional average it decreased significantly in NC but increased in SC, NWC and the mid-lower Yangtze River valley(YR). WSmax decreased significantly at the vast majority of stations in China, with remarkable decrease in northern NC, northern and central YR, central and southern SC and in parts of central NEC and western NWC. With global climate change and rapidly economic development, China has become more vulnerable to climatic extremes and meteorological disasters, so more strategies of mitigation and/or adaptation of climatic extremes,such as environmentally-friendly and low-cost energy production systems and the enhancement of engineering defense measures are necessary for government and social publics.     

ANALYSIS OF “BIMODAL PATTERN” STORM ACTIVITY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BAY OF BENGAL

Storms that occur at the Bay of Bengal (BoB) are of a bimodal pattern, which is different from that of the other sea areas. By using the NCEP, SST and JTWC data, the causes of the bimodal pattern storm activity of the BoB are diagnosed and analyzed in this paper. The result shows that the seasonal variation of general atmosphere circulation in East Asia has a regulating and controlling impact on the BoB storm activity, and the “bimodal period” of the storm activity corresponds exactly to the seasonal conversion period of atmospheric circulation. The minor wind speed of shear spring and autumn contributed to the storm, which was a crucial factor for the generation and occurrence of the “bimodal pattern” storm activity in the BoB. The analysis on sea surface temperature (SST) shows that the SSTs of all the year around in the BoB area meet the conditions required for the generation of tropical cyclones (TCs). However, the SSTs in the central area of the bay are higher than that of the surrounding areas in spring and autumn, which facilitates the occurrence of a “two-peak” storm activity pattern. The genesis potential index (GPI) quantifies and reflects the environmental conditions for the generation of the BoB storms. For GPI, the intense low-level vortex disturbance in the troposphere and high-humidity atmosphere are the sufficient conditions for storms, while large maximum wind velocity of the ground vortex radius and small vertical wind shear are the necessary conditions of storms.     

LOW-FREQUENCY CIRCULATION AND EXTENDED-RANGE FORECAST IN CONNECTION WITH AUTUMN EXTREME HEAVY RAINFALL PROCESS IN HAINAN

Observed daily precipitation data from the National Meteorological Observatory in Hainan province and daily data from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis-2 dataset from 1981 to 2014 are used to analyze the relationship between Hainan extreme heavy rainfall processes in autumn (referred to as EHRPs) and 10–30 d low-frequency circulation. Based on the key low-frequency signals and the NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2) model forecasting products, a dynamical-statistical method is established for the extended-range forecast of EHRPs. The results suggest that EHRPs have a close relationship with the 10–30 d low-frequency oscillation of 850 hPa zonal wind over Hainan Island and to its north, and that they basically occur during the trough phase of the low-frequency oscillation of zonal wind. The latitudinal propagation of the low-frequency wave train in the middle-high latitudes and the meridional propagation of the low-frequency wave train along the coast of East Asia contribute to the ‘north high (cold), south low (warm)’ pattern near Hainan Island, which results in the zonal wind over Hainan Island and to its north reaching its trough, consequently leading to EHRPs. Considering the link between low-frequency circulation and EHRPs, a low-frequency wave train index (LWTI) is defined and adopted to forecast EHRPs by using NCEP CFSv2 forecasting products. EHRPs are predicted to occur during peak phases of LWTI with value larger than 1 for three or more consecutive forecast days. Hindcast experiments for EHRPs in 2015–2016 indicate that EHRPs can be predicted 8–24 d in advance, with an average period of validity of 16.7 d.     

AN ATTRIBUTION ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN POTENTIAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION IN THE BEIJING–TIANJIN–HEBEI REGION UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE

Based on the measurements obtained at 64 national meteorological stations in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region between 1970 and 2013, the potential evapotranspiration (ET0) in this region was estimated using the Penman–Monteith equation and its sensitivity to maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin), wind speed (Vw), net radiation (Rn) and water vapor pressure (Pwv) was analyzed, respectively. The results are shown as follows. (1) The climatic elements in the BTH region underwent significant changes in the study period. Vw and Rn decreased significantly, whereas Tmin, Tmax and Pwv increased considerably. (2) In the BTH region, ET0 also exhibited a significant decreasing trend, and the sensitivity of ET0 to the climatic elements exhibited seasonal characteristics. Of all the climatic elements, ET0 was most sensitive to Pwv in the fall and winter and Rn in the spring and summer. On the annual scale, ET0 was most sensitive to Pwv, followed by Rn, Vw, Tmax and Tmin. In addition, the sensitivity coefficient of ET0 with respect to Pwv had a negative value for all the areas, indicating that increases in Pwv can prevent ET0 from increasing. (3) The sensitivity of ET0 to Tmin and Tmax was significantly lower than its sensitivity to other climatic elements. However, increases in temperature can lead to changes in Pwv and Rn. The temperature should be considered the key intrinsic climatic element that has caused the "evaporation paradox" phenomenon in the BTH region.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

正The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth's climate and environment.     

VARIABILITY OF INTER-ANNUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE AND HUAXI REGION’S AUTUMN PRECIPITATION

The moving-window correlation analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between autumn Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events and the synchronous autumn precipitation in Huaxi region, based on the daily precipitation, sea surface temperature (SST) and atmospheric circulation data from 1960 to 2012. The correlation curves of IOD and the early modulation of Huaxi region’s autumn precipitation indicated a mutational site appeared in the 1970s. During 1960 to 1979, when the IOD was in positive phase in autumn, the circulations changed from a “W” shape to an ”M” shape at 500 hPa in Asia middle-high latitude region. Cold flux got into the Sichuan province with Northwest flow, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Western Pacific to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation increase in east Huaxi region. During 1980 to 1999, when the IOD in autumn was positive phase, the atmospheric circulation presented a “W” shape at 500 hPa, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Bay of Bengal to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation ascend in west Huaxi region. In summary, the Indian Ocean changed from cold phase to warm phase since the 1970s, caused the instability of the inter-annual relationship between the IOD and the autumn rainfall in Huaxi region.     

Revisiting the Concentration Observations and Source Apportionment of Atmospheric Ammonia

正While China’s Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan on particulate matter since 2013 has reduced sulfate significantly, aerosol ammonium nitrate remains high in East China. As the high nitrate abundances are strongly linked with ammonia, reducing ammonia emissions is becoming increasingly important to improve the air quality of China. Although satellite data provide evidence of substantial increases in atmospheric ammonia concentrations over major agricultural regions, long-term surface observation of ammonia concentrations are sparse. In addition, there is still no consensus on     

全球贸易隐含碳变化及其影响分析

基于最新的GTAP8 (Global Trade Analysis Project）数据库,使用投入产出法,分析了2004年到2007年全球贸易变化下南北集团贸易隐含碳变化及对全球碳排放的影响。结果显示,随着发展中国家进出口规模扩张,全球贸易隐含碳流向的重心逐渐向发展中国家转移。2004年到2007年,发达国家高端设备制造业和服务业出口以及发展中国家资源、能源密集型行业及中低端制造业出口的趋势加强,该过程的生产转移导致全球碳排放增长4.15亿t,占研究时段全球贸易隐含碳增量的63%。未来发展中国家的出口隐含碳比重还将进一步提高。贸易变化带来的南北集团隐含碳流动变化对全球应对气候变化行动的影响日益突出,发达国家对此负有重要责任。     

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.     

Retrieval of outgoing longwave radiation from COMS narrowband infrared imagery

Hourly outgoing longwave radiation(OLR) from the geostationary satellite Communication Oceanography Meteorological Satellite(COMS) has been retrieved since June 2010. The COMS OLR retrieval algorithms are based on regression analyses of radiative transfer simulations for spectral functions of COMS infrared channels. This study documents the accuracies of OLRs for future climate applications by making an intercomparison of four OLRs from one single-channel algorithm(OLR12.0using the 12.0 μm channel) and three multiple-channel algorithms(OLR10.8+12.0using the 10.8 and 12.0 μm channels; OLR6.7+10.8using the 6.7 and 10.8 μm channels; and OLR All using the 6.7, 10.8, and 12.0 μm channels). The COMS OLRs from these algorithms were validated with direct measurements of OLR from a broadband radiometer of the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System(CERES) over the full COMS field of view [roughly(50°S–50°N, 70°–170°E)] during April 2011.Validation results show that the root-mean-square errors of COMS OLRs are 5–7 W m-2, which indicates good agreement with CERES OLR over the vast domain. OLR6.7+10.8and OLR All have much smaller errors(～ 6 W m-2) than OLR12.0and OLR10.8+12.0(～ 8 W m-2). Moreover, the small errors of OLR6.7+10.8and OLR All are systematic and can be readily reduced through additional mean bias correction and/or radiance calibration. These results indicate a noteworthy role of the6.7 μm water vapor absorption channel in improving the accuracy of the OLRs. The dependence of the accuracy of COMS OLRs on various surface, atmospheric, and observational conditions is also discussed.
