近47a塔里木盆地近地面水汽含量的趋势和突变研究

利用塔里木盆地38个站1961-2007年水汽压资料,采用5点3阶平滑趋势线、小波分析,Mann-Kendall趋势统计突变检验等方法分析了盆地近地面大气中水汽变化。结果表明:(1)塔里木盆地近47 a来水汽含量有明显的一致增多趋势,平均趋势值是0.023 8;有3个增多的高值和3个低值中心,从盆地东北到西南,呈条块状交替分布。(2)塔里木盆地年和四季水汽含量变化趋势具有年际和年代际差异。最小值和47 a波动性增长开始时期出现在20世纪60年代末和70年代中,最大值出现在90年代,四季中夏季增多趋势最强,秋季次强,春季的最弱。(3)小波分析表明:塔里木盆地47 a中水汽各尺度内的偏多期和偏少期交替分布,年尺度和季尺度都有明显的周期。年水汽的8 a和4 a周期,春季的8~10 a和4~6 a,夏季的4~6 a,8~10 a和16~20 a,秋季的4~6 a,8 a和20 a,冬季的8~10 a周期明显。突变分析表明:盆地年和四季水汽含量都在1986年发生了突变,都通过了α=0.05的显著性水平检验。(4)塔里木盆地水汽与西风环流、青藏高原环流和塔里木盆地年均气温的趋势变化及突变时期相近。盆地水汽与大气环流和气温相关显著,青藏高原环流和盆地水汽相关最高,四季中春季水汽与大气环流和气温相关最低。     

伊犁河流域水汽含量时空变化及其和降水量的关系

利用1976-2006年伊宁探空站的实测资料计算了逐月水汽含量,结合地面水汽压建立适合于伊犁河流域的W-e模型,结合DEM重建了1961-2009年伊犁河流域的月均水汽含量,利用EOF和交叉谱方法分析水汽含量和降水量的时空分布特征,并分析夏季干湿年、典型强降水过程中水汽输送特征。结果表明：大气水汽含量在空间分布上表现为西部多于东部、平原多于山地、迎风坡大于背风坡,下游平原及上游河谷地带是高值区,水汽含量在13～15 mm,这与地形和绿洲城镇的分布有关;在850 hPa至700 hPa的高度上存在一个最大水汽含量带,对应海拔约2 000 m。水汽含量年代际变化呈上升趋势,夏季增加明显（0.48 mm/10a）。降水量和水汽含量标准化场EOF分解表明两者的时空分布极为相似,存在气候振动的一致性和河谷南北相反的分布型式。雨季水汽含量源地以热带海洋为主,同时也受北冰洋为源地的西北向水汽输送的影响。     

东北地区大气水汽输送和收支

利用1948-2006年NCEP逐日再分析资料(纬向风速、经向风速和比湿),计算了东北地区大气水汽输送和收支及其年代际变化.东北地区大气水汽输送主要集中在夏季.夏季水汽输送主要以西南风和南风为主,影响水汽输送的两个主要天气系统是西北太平洋副热带高压和东北冷涡.分析水汽通量散度的计算值,发现东北地区是明显的水汽汇集区.东北地区水汽输送和收支有明显的年际变化,并存在13-18 a周期的年代际变化特征.目前,东北地区处于大气水汽净收入低值时期,水汽输送和收支减少的趋势与21世纪以来东北地区连续出现的干旱有着密切的联系.     

1979-2016年祁连山地区大气水汽含量时空特征及其与降水的关系

采用1979-2016年ECMWF1.5°×1.5°逐月再分析资料及同期37个气象站点的降水资料,利用一元线性回归、累积距平、Kriging及IDW（反距离加权）等方法分析了祁连山地区大气水汽含量时空分布特征、降水转化率空间变化规律以及风场分布规律,并对比分析了中国西部不同地区降水转化率的变化趋势。结果表明：（1）1979-2016年祁连山地区大气水汽含量整体呈增加趋势,且季节变化明显。其中夏季是各层大气水汽含量最多的季节,高达329.24 mm,占多年平均大气水汽含量的48.1%。（2）近38 a来,祁连山地区的大气水汽含量呈东南多、西北少的空间分布,且随海拔的升高而逐渐减少,整层大气水汽主要集中在5 000 m以下。（3）祁连山地区的降水转化率从空间上表现出由东向西递减的趋势,说明该地区空中云水资源的开发潜力自东向西逐渐增强,空中云水资源的开发潜力区域差异明显;季风所携带的水汽对其影响区域的降水贡献率较高,西风所携带的水汽则对其影响区域的降水贡献率较低。（4）中国西部地区降水转化率呈向心式递减的趋势,且区域空间波动较大。     

近10 年陕甘宁黄土高原区植被覆盖时空变化特征

基于2000-2009 年MODIS-NDVI 植被覆盖指数, 采用线性趋势分析、Hurst 指数和偏相关系数等数理分析方法, 对陕甘宁地区“退耕还林还草”实施10a 来植被覆盖时空变化特征、影响因素及其未来变化趋势进行分析。结果表明:① 2000-2009 年陕甘宁地区植被覆盖呈现明显增加趋势0.032/10a, 远快于三北防护林工程区1982-2006 年植被覆盖平均增速0.007/10a;② 陕甘宁地区植被恢复具有阶段性, 整体呈“S”型增长, 具有两次明显的植被高恢复期;③ 陕甘宁地区植被恢复以轻微改善为主, 中度改善次之, 呈退化趋势区域比重较小(2.38%), 零星分布于宁南八县、定边东部、甘肃陇东的环县和镇原;④ 陕甘宁地区植被覆盖度逐年提高、生态环境持续改善是人类活动和气候变化共同驱动, 其中人类经济活动作用明显;⑤ 陕甘宁地区植被恢复具有一定的持续性, 未来大部分区域将持续改善, 退化区集中分布于陕北中东部、“彭阳-镇原”南部以及盐池北部。     

西北地区大气水汽含量时空分布及其输送研究

利用ECMWF和NCEP/NCAR 1979-2016年逐月再分析资料,分析了我国西北地区大气水汽含量的时空分布及其输送特征。结果表明：（1）西北地区水汽含量在20世纪80年代中期至90年代末呈增多趋势,从90年代开始至21世纪初呈减少趋势。就季节而言,西北地区夏季水汽含量最多,占年平均水汽含量的46.6%。（2）西北地区水汽分布与降水分布具有一致性,水汽含量主要集中在西北地区东部及其西部的天山山脉、塔里木盆地东部一带,达12～30 mm,中部水汽含量较少,不足10 mm,水汽含量的空间分布呈现出“两边高中间低”的分布形式。（3）西北地区水汽输送以西风和季风两大环流系统为主,纬向西风水汽输送可达100～500 kg·m^-1·s^-1,在全年水汽输送中占主要地位,夏季从印度洋来的强度可达100～200 kg·m^-1·s^-1的西南季风水汽输送对西北地区东部影响较显著。（4）西北地区水汽源主要位于新疆天山山脉、青海中东部、甘肃河西走廊中西段、宁夏和陕西北部等地区,而水汽汇则位于甘肃南部、陕西南部一带。     

塔克拉玛干地区气候变化对全球变暖的响应

从地面水汽压(大气含水量)、平均风速、湿润指数、相对湿度和气压的角度分析在全球变暖的情况下,塔克拉玛干地区气候的年和季节变化特征,结果表明:①年和四季平均风速呈阶梯式下降趋势,具有显著减小的线性趋势,并于1973年发生了由大到小的突变。②夏、秋、冬季和年地面水汽压(大气含水量)自20世纪80年代以来呈较大幅度波动式上升,具有显著的线性增加趋势。夏、秋季地面水汽压于1969年和1973年发生了由少到多的突变。秋、冬季大气含水量的显著增加并没有导致降水量的增加,降水量的变化不能充分反映大气含水量的变化。③夏季湿润指数有显著增加趋势,春季有微弱的上升趋势,而降水量夏季和年有显著增加趋势,春季有微弱的上升趋势,说明综合反映气候干湿变化的湿润指数变化与单用降水量表示的气候干湿变化不完全一致。④夏、秋季和年相对湿度呈波动式上升趋势,夏季和年相对湿度分别于1970年和1974年发生了由低到高的突变。⑤年和四季的平均气压40a来无变化。     

2009年中国一次沙尘暴过程中的水汽变化特征及WRF回报

通过对2009年4月22日至25日发生在甘肃、宁夏、内蒙古的一次沙尘暴观测和模拟回报试验,分析了沙尘暴过程中水汽及水热的变化特征,检验了天气研究和预报模式（WRF）对沙尘暴过程的模拟能力。结果表明,WRF能较好地再现出沙尘暴过程中水汽变化的基本特征。沙尘暴发生前,地面感热明显增加,大气中水汽明显减少。在沙尘暴过程中,扩散作用和气溶胶的凝结作用影响水汽的变化,而水汽的垂直方向变化较小;高空云水和云冰含量异常偏小,低层大气的温度和水汽含量下降。热力诊断的结果表明,沙尘暴过程中,由于水汽的相变,在600～800 hPa高度处,水汽凝结产生的视热源的加热率高达6 ℃·d-1,表明非绝热加热作用在沙尘暴的维持和发展起着重要的作用。     

祁连山甘肃片区土地利用变化特征及驱动力

基于1990—2018年4期Landsat卫星30 m分辨率土地利用数据,结合土地利用变化分析法及统计学方法,对祁连山甘肃片区近30年土地利用时空分布特征进行了分析研究,探讨了自然因素和人类活动对研究区土地利用变化的作用机制。结果表明：（1）祁连山甘肃片区土地利用类型以未利用土地和草地为主;1990—2018年研究区水域和未利用土地面积为减少趋势,其他土地利用类型面积呈动态增加趋势。（2）2000年后,参与土地转移的面积增加,以未利用土地—草地、未利用土地—林地、耕地—草地这3种转化关系为主。（3）自然因素是祁连山甘肃片区土地利用变化的主导因素,以“三北”防护林工程、“天保”工程和退耕还林还草为主的生态工程在限制了人类农牧业生产活动的同时,给祁连山甘肃片区土地利用变化带来明显的局地效应。     

近46年来昆明市日照变化特征分析

分析了昆明市1961~2006年日照时数变化特征及与日照百分率、总云量、低云量、水汽压和地面定时能见度之间的关系。结果表明：日照时数呈减少趋势,日照时数的减少幅度为115 h/10 a,其中又以春、夏季减少最快。年日照时数存在突变现象,突变点在1980年。日照百分率与日照时数变化趋势相一致。年低云量、总云量、水汽压略呈增加趋势,总云量和水汽压与日照时数变化呈显著的负相关,是昆明市日照时数减少的主要因素。地面能见度呈下降趋势,表明大气气溶胶含量上升,影响日照时数变化,但不是主要因素。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
