雅鲁藏布江流域气候和下垫面变化对径流的影响研究

典型高原寒区雅鲁藏布江流域径流变化是反映该区域气候和下垫面变化的重要指标。在全球升温背景下,由于观测资料稀缺,导致缺乏针对整个流域的气候和下垫面变化对径流影响的研究。因此,本研究基于1986—2010年的气象数据和奴下水文站月尺度、动态土地利用数据等,利用改进的水文模型并结合不同的模拟策略厘清了流域1991—2010年不同时段间气候和下垫面变化对径流的影响。结果表明：在1991—2010年期间,不同时段间气候和下垫面变化对径流变化的贡献率差异较大,气候变化对径流变化的贡献率高于下垫面变化,且使径流量增加。从空间上看,气候变化对流域产流的贡献率在上游和中游都较大,在下游东北部的贡献率较小,而在该区域下垫面变化的贡献率较大。雪冰融水径流呈增加的趋势,对年径流的平均贡献率在21.1%~48.6%范围内,多年平均贡献率为33.6%;雪冰融水径流一般从4月开始增大,8月达到最大,10月达到消融末期。本研究的开展和发现既是雅鲁藏布江流域水文、水资源基础性研究的需要,具有重要的理论研究意义,同时也可为该流域的水资源保护、规划与管理提供科学理论和决策依据,具有重要的现实意义。

为了探究气候变暖、冰冻圈急剧萎缩背景下祁连山内陆河的水文状况,依据古浪河流域所采集的各类水体样品和相关观测数据,分析了各水体稳定同位素特征及其所指示的环境意义,并进行了径流分割。结果表明：（1）与降水相比,河水稳定同位素年际变化较小,从季节变化角度来看,河水δ¹⁸O值夏季 > 秋季 > 春季 > 冬季,反映了不同季节蒸发强度的差异。（2）泉水稳定同位素特征与河水相似,年际变化较为稳定,表明山区河水与泉水之间可能存在转换过程。（3）由于土壤水分交换、地表土壤蒸发、植被蒸腾以及土壤水和地下水之间的同位素差异,引起土壤水同位素组成的梯度差异比较明显,土壤水δ¹⁸O由地表向下经历了富集―贫化―富集的过程,d-excess变化则与之相反。（4）径流分割结果显示大气降水对古浪河流域出山径流的补给率高达76%±2.4%,冻土层上水补给为24%±2.4%。     

三极地区雪冰中黑碳研究进展

黑碳被认为是除温室气体外对气候变暖贡献最大的辐射强迫因子。三极（北极、南极和青藏高原）地区是全球雪冰分布最集中的区域,沉积至雪冰中的黑碳可反映人类活动的历史变化,并可能导致反照率降低而影响物质能量平衡。通过系统回顾三极地区雪冰黑碳的研究方法、空间分布、时间变化及其造成的辐射强迫,得到的研究结果表明： 由于处于不同的地理位置和环境条件,三极雪冰中黑碳的时空分布及其辐射强迫差异较大,其中青藏高原是浓度和辐射强迫影响最大的地区,也是对水资源和生态安全潜在影响最严重的区域。三极地区雪冰中保存着长时间序列的黑碳沉积记录,是研究自然变率、人类活动影响黑碳沉积历史（如北极与青藏高原冰芯中记录的工业革命以来黑碳沉积的快速上升）的良好介质,同样为模型预测未来变化提供了数据支持。三极地区是全球变化的指示器和放大器,在全球变暖不断加剧的背景下,黑碳必然会在未来的三极地区气候演变中扮演更为重要的角色。     

天山南坡阿克苏流域冰川物质平衡及其融水径流对气候变化的响应研究

冰川融水是西北干旱区水资源重要组成部分,定量评估其变化对中、下游生态环境保护和工农业经济可持续发展具有重要意义。本文基于国家气象台站日降水和气温资料、数字高程模型(DEM)以及第一次冰川编目数据,利用度日模型模拟了天山南坡阿克苏流域1957—2017年冰川物质平衡及其融水径流变化,分析了融水径流组成及其对气候变化的响应。结果表明：1957—2017年流域年平均物质平衡为-94.6 mm w.e.,61年累积物质平衡为-5.8 m w.e.。流域冰川物质平衡线呈显著上升趋势,年均上升速率为1.6 m/a。研究区年均融水径流量为53.1×10⁸ m³,融水增加速率为0.24×10⁸ m³/a,融水径流及其组成分量均呈显著增加趋势。在气候暖湿化背景下,流域降水的增加使得冰川区积累量增加,在剧烈的升温作用下,冰川消融加剧,气温对融水径流的作用增大,因此冰川物质平衡亏损产生的水文效应增强。研究结果可提升区域冰川水资源效应变化及其影响的认识。     

全球冰川径流中硅的研究进展

硅（Si）是硅藻等海洋生物必需的营养元素,在海洋生态系统和碳循环方面扮演着重要角色。在全球变暖背景下,冰川加速消融,融水径流量快速增加,流域硅酸盐风化作用逐渐增强,导致大量Si元素随着融水释放出来并进入下游,很可能影响陆地与海洋生态系统生产力、碳循环并反馈气候变化。当前与冰川消融有关的Si释放及其影响研究已成为国际热点科学问题之一。通过回顾冰川径流中Si浓度及其δ³⁰Si的最新研究成果,分析了Si浓度的空间变化特征,发现冰川径流的Si浓度受采样方法、径流量、基岩特征等因子的共同影响。在总结该领域现存问题的基础上,认为未来急需加强冰川径流Si的野外监测,综合利用多种同位素手段来厘清冰川径流Si的迁移转化过程和输移规律,评估因冰川消融而进入下游生态系统的Si通量,进而为冰川Si的生态及气候影响评估提供科学指导。     

气候变暖背景下祁连山七一冰川融水径流变化研究

本文利用2006年实测水文数据,找出冰川自动气象站气温与冰川融水径流量关系,并根据酒泉气象站与冰川末端气象站气温关系,重建1960～2004年七一冰川融水径流资料.近40多年来,酒泉站气温增加幅度为0.24℃/10a,冰川融水量增加幅度为0.076×106 m3/10 a,冰川融水量随气温增加明显.利用气候突变分析发现,气温发生突变点为1996年,1996～2004年冰川表面年平均气温比1960～1995年间高0.41℃,年冰川融水量1996～2004年比1960～1995年增加了0.41×106 m3(增加26.9%),冰川融水径流量在气候变暖背景下变化显著.     

基于水化学特征的长江源区生态水文学研究进展

气候变暖背景下,冰雪、冻土剧烈消融引起的寒区径流成分改变对流域径流演变规律及水循环机制产生了深刻影响。对长江源区各水体水化学特征及其生态水文学研究进行归纳总结,主要进展包括：长江源区的大气降水的水汽来源主要受西风环流和季风环流的控制。冰雪融水的水化学特征受到消融强度、消融持续时间和新雪融水的影响,同时在冰雪融水、积雪以及冰川融水之间可能存在化学离子的交换。冻土层上水受到降水、冰雪融水、地下冰融水等的混合补给,造成水化学特征变化的随机波动。海拔在4 500 m的地区是冻土层上水水化学特征对研究区离子控制源较为敏感的区域。随着海拔高度的增加,降雨直接补给对河水中化学离子的稀释作用逐渐减弱,同时,海拔从4 500 m到5 000 m的降水对河水中离子浓度的稀释效果最大,而在海拔5 000 m以上河水主要受冰雪融水的补给,降水和消融期的变化对河水水化学的影响很小。研究结果为更系统地认知寒区下垫面变化所引起的水文效应提供科学依据,为流域水资源的合理开发利用提供决策依据。     

马粪沟流域不同景观带水文过程

目前高寒水源区完整水文过程规律研究还非常薄弱。应用同位素技术与水化学分析模拟方法来甄别高寒区马粪沟流域不同景观带冰川、积雪、冻土、地表水、地下水和降雨等水体对出山径流的贡献组合与路径,旨在揭示各景观带的水文过程。据端元混合模型计算,在湿季出山径流52%来自地下水补给,其地下水主要是由冻土融水、冰雪融水和降雨下渗转化形成;冰雪带融水占11%;高山寒漠带和灌丛带地表径流占20%;高山草原带约占9%;降雨直接补给占8%。整个流域降雨很少直接产生地表径流,而是在各个景观带转化成壤中流或地下径流,然后汇入河道。     

冰雪溶融的同位素效应及氘过量参数演化--以四川稻城水体同位素为例

水体同位素组成的变化实际上是依存于环境变化的一种综合性反应。不同季节高原高山冰雪的溶融,可以明显地影响地表径流和浅层地下水的同位素组成及氘过量参数的变化。了解这一特有的自然背景所引起的同位素分馏现象,探索其形成过程及演化机理,对于评价一个地区环境、气候及水资源的关系,其重要性是不言而喻的。本文以四川稻城地表径流和温泉水的同位素组成为例,主要介绍了不同季节高原高山冰雪溶融背景条件下地表径流和温泉水同位素组成及氘过量参数变化规律,结合当地的自然背景及气候条件,着重分析讨论了冰雪溶融过程中的同位素效应及氘过量参数演化过程及原因。     

Hydrochemical and hydrological processes in the different landscape zones of alpine cold region in China

Investigation of water sources and flow pathways is crucial to understand and evaluate the characteristics of surface water and groundwater systems. This article aims to identify the hydrochemical and hydrological processes in different landscape zones based on hydrochemical analyses of various samples, including samples from glacier, snow, frozen soil meltwater, surface water, groundwater, and precipitation, in the alpine cold region of China. Hydrochemical tracers indicated that chemical compositions are characterized by the Ca-HCO₃ type in the glacier-snow zone; the Mg-Ca-SO₄ type in the alpine cold desert zone; the Ca-HCO₃-SO₄ type in the marsh meadow zone; the Ca-Mg-HCO₃ type in the alpine shrub zone; and the Ca-Na-SO₄ type in the mountain grassland zone. An end-member mixing model was used for hydrograph separation. The results showed that the Mafengou River in the wet season was recharged by groundwater in the alpine cold desert and alpine shrub zones (67%), surface runoff in the glacier-snow zone (11%), surface runoff in the alpine cold desert zone (8%), thawed water from frozen soil in the marsh meadow and mountain grassland zones (9%), and direct precipitation on the river channel (5%). This study suggests that precipitation from the whole catchment yielded little direct surface runoff; precipitation was mostly transformed into groundwater or interflow and was then concentrated into the river channel. This study provides a scientific basis for evaluation and management of water resources in the basin.     

Snowmelt runoff and groundwater discharge in Himalayan rivers: a case study of the Satluj River,NW India

The Himalayas are one of the largest cryospheric systems outside the Polar Regions, and include more than 12,000 glaciers spread over an area of about 33,000 km². The Himalayan glaciers and snow packs retreating at an accelerating rate, thereby creating an alarming situation for the huge population that resides in northwestern India and southeastern Pakistan, as they depend on surface water resources in the region and rivers emanating from the Himalayas. This work attempts to quantify the contribution of different sources such as glacial/ice/snow melt and groundwater discharge to the Satluj River using the stable isotopes based hydrograph separation method at Ropar (foot hill) and Yusufpur in plain of Punjab, India. A mass balance model of three-component mixing has been engaged using the values of δ¹⁸O and electrical conductivity of the river water, and its discharge fraction, to estimate the time-varying relative proportion of each component from July 2013 to January 2014. The proportion of glacier melt was found to peak up to ~?64% at Ropar and ~?15% at Yusufpur during the wet summer months. The fraction of groundwater discharge was found to vary between 10–20% at Ropar and 25–35% at Yusufpur (Punjab plain) over time. The observed trend of d-excess (deuterium excess) values of river water also suggests that the glaciers and snow packs at higher altitudes contain a significant fraction of snow derived from vapor originating in the Mediterranean region, driven by the mid-latitude westerlies known as western disturbances.

北极巴罗地区海冰消融初期表面特征及光谱反射率观测研究

北极海冰消融初期,上覆积雪急剧消融,融池开始形成,海冰表面物理特征异常复杂。由于观测资料缺乏,对这一时期海冰变化的研究仍存在较大不确定性。利用2015年5月份在巴罗Elson Lagoon海域观测的海冰表面物理特征和光谱反射率数据,分析了巴罗地区海冰消融初期表面积雪、裸冰和融池反射率特性及其影响因素。结果表明：消融初期,海冰表面异质性强,积雪、裸冰和融池相间分布。在积雪覆盖的区域,积雪对海冰光谱反射率起决定性作用,观测到不同雪深（3~23 cm）的反射率变化在0.53~0.85之间,平均反射率为0.76且反射率与雪深呈正相关。在表面积雪厚度相同的情况下,积雪底层含水量越大,表层反射率越小。观测还显示,在融池形成的区域,海冰的反射率急剧降低,融池初形成时反射率为0.206,略低于裸冰（0.216）。随着融池的发展,当其深度达到10 cm时,反射率仅为0.04,与开阔海域海水接近。     

挪威山地冰川上雪和粒雪中δ18O的解释及对区域气候的指示意义

Variations of δ18O in the snow which accumulates at a Nordic temperate glacier during the win-ter are not entirely eliminated after a few months of ablation in the following summer. Survive of isotopicsignals closely relates to the re-freezing capacity of snow accumulated in winter when its temperature wasbelow 0 ℃. The melt-water re-freezing ice layers formed in winter hindered subsequent melt-water percolation in summer when snow temperature was at melting point and, therefore, varied isotopic record wasreserved between these ice layers. The isotopic record in snow pack can provide an estimate of the ap-proximate trend of the most recent winter season temperatures. The relationship between regional tem-perature changes and δ18O values in the snow pack is affected by many natural factors, but 1989-1990 (aglacier balance year) winter air temperatures were reflected in the snow which remained on the glacierAustre Okstindbreen at an altitude of 1 350 m in July 1990. There was larger amplitude of variations ofδ18O values in the 4. 1 m of snow above the 1989 summer surface, but variations in the underlying firnwere relatively small. Melt water percolation modifies the initial variations of δ18O values in the snowpack. At a site below the mean equilibrium line altitude on Austre Okstindbreen, increased isotopic bom-ogenization within a ten-day period in July accompanied an increase of the mean δ18O value. Although theisotopic record at a temperate glacier is likely to be influenced by more factors than is that at polar glac-iers, it can provide an estimate of the approximate trend of recent local temperature variations.     

Validation of ice‐wedge isotopes at Yituli'he,northeastern China as climate proxy

Inactive ice wedges are still present today at Yituli'he in the middle Da Xing'anling (Greater Hinggan) Mountains in northeastern China, which is the southernmost known site (50°37′N) with ice wedges in the Northern Hemisphere. However, it is uncertain whether the ice‐wedge isotope composition, characterized by low δ¹⁸O, δD and low deuterium excess values, is representative of the isotope signature of a broader region. In this paper, the ice‐wedge isotope compositions were examined in the context of the stable isotopes of precipitation from the nearby Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation (GNIP) stations. In addition, the pollen spectra from the host sediments were analysed to provide additional information on local vegetation in order to better understand the climate conditions favouring ice‐wedge formation. The pollen spectra suggest that the Yituli'he ice wedges developed during the colder and wetter period after 6000 cal. a BP. The isotopes in the Yituli'he ice wedges are consistent with the isotope background recorded in atmospheric precipitation collected at the nearby GNIP stations. When the snow‐melt froze into ice veinlets, the isotope signals did not change substantially because of the strong, cold, continental anticyclones in winter as well as a strong temperature inversion that prevail in the Da Xing'anling Mountains. As the climate pattern did not change substantially, the neoglacial cold period is unlikely to have allowed for strong secondary fractionation of isotope records during ice‐wedge formation. Thus, the annual isotope signature can be interpreted as a valid archive of climate data.     

Water,ice and mud: lahars and lahar hazards at ice‐ and snow‐clad volcanoes

Large‐volume lahars are significant hazards at ice and snow covered volcanoes. Hot eruptive products produced during explosive eruptions can generate a substantial volume of melt water that quickly evolves into highly mobile flows of ice, sediment and water. At present it is difficult to predict the size of lahars that can form at ice and snow covered volcanoes due to their complex flow character and behaviour. However, advances in experiments and numerical approaches are producing new conceptual models and new methods for hazard assessment. Eruption triggered lahars that are ice‐dominated leave behind thin, almost unrecognizable sedimentary deposits, making them likely to be under‐represented in the geological record.
