1951~2010年中国年代际累积暴雨时空格局变化的相关因素研究

采用多种统计方法,解释1951~2010年中国年代际累积暴雨不断增加的现象。结果表明：快速城镇化因素极有可能是中国大面积暴雨增加的主因。在时间序列上,城镇化因素对中国年际暴雨雨量、雨日和雨强的方差解释分别为61.54%,58.48%,65.54%;自然因子方差解释分别为24.30%,26.23%,21.92%。在空间格局上,中国县级总人口密度和低能见度日数年均值的面板数据与中国年代际累积暴雨雨量、雨日和雨强显著相关,其空间相关系数随年代推移而不断增加,进一步表明快速城镇化因素可能触发了中国年代际大面积暴雨的显著增加。     

近35 年青藏高原雨量和雨日的变化特征

利用青藏高原1971-2005 年49 个气象台站逐日雨量和雨日资料, 分析了青藏高原年、 季雨量和雨日变化趋势。结果表明, 近35 年西藏大部分地区年雨量、雨日呈现显著增加趋 势, 而青海省大部分地区雨量、雨日却呈减少趋势。夏半年, 高原上雨日减少, 雨量增加, 说明降水越来越集中, 降水强度在增加。冬半年, 高原上雨日、雨量均在增加。高原夏半年小雨(0.1~4.9 mm) 雨日减少, 雨量增加; 小雨(5.0~9.9 mm) 和中雨的雨日和雨量均呈增加趋 势, 大雨以上的雨日和雨量均减少。冬半年, 青藏高原小雪、中雪、大雪不同量级日数和雪 日的平均雪量均呈增加趋势; 暴雪日和雪量变化均不明显。     

1961-2010 年中国降水强度变化趋势及其对降水量影响分析

探讨区域降水强度的时空变化趋势对于揭示区域气候变化规律、有效应对气候变化水资源影响等具有重要意义。利用756 个气象观测站1961-2010 年50 年逐日降水资料,分析了中国不同等级降水（小雨、中雨、大雨、暴雨及年均降水）强度的年际、年代际的变化趋势,以及不同等级降水变化在降水量增量中的贡献。结果表明：在年际变化中,降水强度总体呈现上升趋势,显著上升区域主要分布在中国东部秦岭-淮河线以南的地区;在不同等级降水强度中小雨强度变化趋势最为显著,中雨以上级别降水强度则相对稳定。在年代际变化中,各区域年代际降水强度变化差异明显,20 世纪60 年代和70 年代下降显著,80 年代、90 年代、21 世纪的前10 年则上升明显。此外,降水强度对降水量增量贡献由东至西呈“大-小-大-小”的相间带状分布;在中国西部,小雨、中雨、大雨强度对降水量增量起主导作用,而在中国东部暴雨降水强度在降水量贡献中起主导作用,且在东北区东南、黄淮海西北以及西南中部作用更加明显。     

红河州暴雨时空分布特征分析

基于云南省红河州13个气象观测站1961~2010年逐日降水资料,使用Morlet小波分析等方法分析了红河州暴雨时空分布特征以及暴雨与降雨极值、降水量等的关系。结果表明:红河州暴雨日数和年暴雨雨量自北向南增多,单点暴雨最多,占69%,主要出现在南部地区;红河州大部分站点20世纪80年代后期暴雨日数、站次数和暴雨量都有增多的趋势;红河州全年均有暴雨发生,1月、2月最少,6月、7月最多;年暴雨雨量存在着3~7 a、5~11 a、8~17 a的周期变化规律,各县市以3年左右的小周期最具有普遍性;暴雨极值大多出现在5~9月份,年暴雨量与年雨量的丰-枯变化趋势一致。     

辽宁省夏季降水量和极端雨量日时空变化特征分析

根据辽宁省23个气象站点1960-2014年的逐日降水量资料,运用线性倾向估计、滑动平均、累积距平、小波分析以及普通克里金空间插值等方法对辽宁省夏季降水量和极端雨量日进行时空变化分析。结果表明：55a来辽宁省夏季降水量整体呈现下降趋势,但降水强度正逐年增大,1984年、1992年和2010年降水趋势回升明显,夏季降水量的变化存在38a左右的主周期和22a左右的次周期。空间分布表现为由辽东南向辽西北逐渐减少;持续干旱天数呈现出显著的增大趋势,大雨日呈现不明显的减少趋势,暴雨和大暴雨日都有不明显的增大趋势。极端雨量日4项指标周期变化具有一致性特征,都在35~40a的时间尺度上存在明显的周期变化。大雨、暴雨、大暴雨在空间分布上具有一致性特征,极端雨量日4项指标的变化倾向率在东北西南方向都存在不同程度的条带性高低交替变化的特征。     

新疆极端水文事件年际变化及对气候变化的响应

利用1901~2010年极端水文事件资料,采用Mann-kendall统计检验研究其年际、年代际变化及对气候变化的响应,结果表明:年际变化总体为增加趋势,20世纪70年代以来增加显著;各地区由于主导灾害不同,年代际变化不尽相同, 冰雹为主导灾害的地区80年代的发生频次最多,其它地区呈逐年代平稳增加;各类型极端水文事件年际变化也不尽相同,但于近10 a达最大值;极端水文事件增加趋势与气温、降水一致,不同极端水文事件对气候变化因子响应略有不同。     

亚洲季风与中国干湿、农牧气候界线之关系

基于中国553个气象站点1958~2000年日降水量资料、北方295个气象站点同期(20(cm)蒸发皿资料,界定出半干旱区和农牧交错区各自的范围。利用东亚夏季风强度指数(1951~1995年)与印度夏季降水量(1951~1998年)资料, 分析了半干旱区和农牧交错区东南-西北界10年际空间变化与亚洲夏季风的关系。近50年中国干湿、农牧气候界线的动态变化是影响中国的季风环流强弱作用在空间上的实物表现, 季风环流的强弱变化控制着气候界线空间摆动的范围与方向, 其年代际变化是中国干湿、农牧气候界线呈现出年代际变化特征的根源。分析显示, 在现代情况下, 农牧气候界线位置的空间摆动主要反映人类生产活动强度的强弱差异, 人为因素起主导作用。     

基于地统计学的玉溪暴雨时空特征分析

利用玉溪9个代表站1961~2015年降水观测资料和玉溪行政区划基础资料,使用趋势分析、地统计学等方法,对玉溪55年来暴雨变化的基本特征进行分析。结果表明:玉溪暴雨有明显的日、月、年代变化和空间分布特征。一天之中暴雨多集中在凌晨4~7点,一年之中暴雨多集中在6~8月,暴雨的年代变化呈波动趋势,波动幅度不大,但2000年以来减少趋势较明显。在空间分布上,暴雨多发区主要集中在玉溪南部元江县、东北部澄江县一带。     

中等排放情景下中国未来不同强度降雨对总降雨贡献的区域差异（2006―2100年）

采用RCP6.0中等排放情景下2006―2100年WRF 30 km×30 km日值降雨数据,根据中国气象局颁布的降雨强度等级划分标准,探究了中国不同强度降雨及其对总降雨贡献的变化趋势的空间差异特征。结果表明：1）在雨量上,中等排放情景下2006―2100年中国不同强度降雨呈现出不同的空间分异格局。小雨和中雨自东北向西南呈“高―低―高”的三块式空间分布特征;大雨、暴雨、大暴雨和总暴雨均呈“东南高,西北低”的分异格局;特大暴雨仅东南沿海的部分地区分布较多;总降雨呈“南方高,北方次之,西北低”的空间分异格局。2）在雨量贡献率上,强降雨对总降雨的贡献率普遍存在“东南高,西北低”特征,而弱降雨对总降雨的贡献率恰恰相反;不同强度暴雨对总暴雨的贡献率也有类似分布特征。3）在雨量变化趋势上,中国不同强度降雨变化趋势呈现出不同的空间分异格局,但强降雨呈增加趋势的区域显著多于呈减少趋势的区域。4）在雨量贡献率变化趋势上,强（弱）降雨对总降雨的贡献率呈增加（减少）趋势的区域占主导,强降雨对总降雨的贡献率呈增加趋势的地区明显多于弱降雨。5）在不同强度暴雨对总暴雨贡献率的变化趋势上,大暴雨和特大暴雨对总暴雨的贡献率呈增加趋势的区域明显多于暴雨。预估结果表明,中国东部降雨在朝着极端化方向发展。     

青海高原近40 a降水变化特征及其对生态环境的影响

 利用青海省1961-2002年26个代表站逐日雨量资料和高原东部地区10个站的降水自记资料,分析了近40 a来降水量、雨日、雨强的气候变化特征。结果表明:青海高原近40 a来年降水量无明显的变化,但夏半年降水量呈减少趋势,冬半年降水量呈明显的增多趋势；夏半年降水量和雨日虽在减少,但降水强度在增大；夏半年降水量的减少主要是降水日数的减少造成的,而冬半年降水量的增加是由于雨日增多和每个降水日平均雨量的增大所造成；随着气候变暖,夏、秋季降水明显偏少,出现暖干化的气候趋势。

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.
