中国干湿状况和干湿气候界限变化研究

选取全国616个地面气象台站1975-2004年的地面资料,通过Penman-Monteith公式计算的参考蒸散确定湿润指数（W）,按W为0．03、0．2、0．5和1．0把中国分为极干旱、干旱、半干旱、半湿润和湿润5个干湿区,给出了湿润指数的变化趋势和变异状况的地理分布,讨论了湿润指数的年代际变化特征。结果表明：湿润状况显著增加的地区主要为新疆西北部和中国的西南部,干旱化显著的地区主要在青海的东部、甘肃的南部和四川北部;干湿状况变化从中国的东部向西部逐渐增大,中国的西南地区干湿状况最为稳定;20世纪80年代初全国的平均干湿状况发生变化,由干旱趋向湿润,30a来半湿润、湿润地区干湿状况年际变化大,半干旱区和湿润区增多,半湿润区减少。     

中国干湿区变化与预估

本文采用干湿指数对1962~2011年中国干湿区范围变化进行了集中分析,并利用CMIP5（Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5）模式对其变化趋势开展了预估研究。结果表明,1962~2011年平均极端干旱区、干旱区、半干旱区、半湿润区和湿润区分别占中国陆地总面积的2.8%、11.7%、22.4%、32.6%和30.5%。期间,中国区域年干湿指数总体上呈现下降趋势,空间上表现为西部湿润化和东部干旱化的特征。显著缩小的是湿润区和极端干旱区,半湿润区、半干旱区和干旱区则显著扩大,这表明中国气候敏感区域在扩张。春季和秋季干湿指数变化趋势的空间分布与年平均的较为一致,冬季西北呈干旱化,夏季东南部地区为湿润化。相对于参考时段1986~2005年,在RCP4.5（Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5）情景下18个气候模式中位数的预估结果中,降水仅在东南南部减少,而潜在蒸散发在全区域增加,由于潜在蒸散发的增量超过了降水的增幅,中国区域将整体趋于干旱化,仅在西北地区呈湿润化特征;未来湿润区、干旱区和极端干旱区缩小,气候敏感性高的半湿润区和半干旱区仍将扩大。     

宁夏地表湿润状况演变规律研究

利用1961-2004a宁夏23站月降水和平均气温资料,通过计算地表湿润指数,分析了宁夏区域平均及不同区域地表湿润指数的年代际变化特征及季节性差异.最后,给出了地表湿润指数年及各季节变化趋势的地理分布.结果表明:近40a来宁夏年地表湿润指数总趋势是下降的,即地表在变干;地表湿润指数的变化具有明显的阶段性特征,即1970s末期以前的冷湿期,1970s末至1980s中期的冷干期,1980s中期以来的暖干期;宁夏的干化趋势主要发生在秋季;宁夏年、秋季地表显著变干的中心区域主要集中在中部干旱带及南部山区的北部;冬季南部山区存在显著变湿趋势,春、夏季各地均无显著干、湿变化趋势.     

中国北方近百年干湿变化与太平洋年代际振荡的关系

利用CRU(Climate Research Unit)1901～2002年全球0.5°×0.5°网格点月降水和月平均气温资料,利用一个能够用于检测地表干湿变化的湿润指数,对中国北方四个典型地区干湿演变特征及与北太平洋年代际振荡的关系进行了初步的分析.结果发现:降水和湿润指数在表征干湿变化的特征时有明显的差别,特别是在干旱和半干旱地区,增暖也是影响干湿变化的一个重要因素.相关分析表明,华北和西北东部的年干湿变化与同期太平洋年代际振荡(简称PDO)指数有密切的关系,PDO指数的正位相对应两个地区的干旱时段,负位相则对应两个地区的湿润时段,而新疆南部与PDO指数同期呈显著的正相关关系,即当PDO为正位相时,该地区为湿的时段,负位相对应干的时段.以100°E为界,北方的东部干湿变化与太平洋年代际振荡指数呈反相关,而西部则相反,与PDO呈正相关关系.     

我国干旱半干旱区气候变化特征及其对干湿波动的影响

气候干湿状况是表征区域气候特征的重要指标,是在全球气候变暖背景下,水循环与陆面蒸散发作用的综合结果。本文从湿润度指数入手,结合降水与潜在蒸散的时空变化,分析了我国干旱半干旱区气候特点与干湿变化特征及对土壤湿度的影响。分析发现：近50年来,我国干旱与半干旱区均呈变湿趋势。干旱区与半干旱区潜在蒸散与降水月差值在年内出现时间上存在不一致,且干旱区明显大于半干旱区;3～9月为干旱气候区潜在蒸散与降水差值大值期,3～6月半干旱区潜在蒸散明显大于降水,7月起差值明显减小。作用分析表明,在干旱区,降水对湿润度指数的影响更大,而对于半干旱区,降水与潜在蒸散作用相当。长期以来,我国整个干旱与半干旱区大部分土壤湿度在逐渐变干,尤其是农业耕作层的浅层土壤,几乎全区域一致呈现变干趋势,说明我国干旱半干旱区农牧业生产存在较大的潜在干旱风险。     

陕西黄土高原地表湿润状况演变规律研究

利用陕西黄土高原区域均匀分布的27个气象站1951—2011年4—10月的温度、降水和相对湿润度指数,通过Morlet小波、累积距平、GIS作图等方法,分析了陕西黄土高原地区近60a地表湿润指数的地理分布和年代际变化特征。结果表明:陕西黄土高原地表湿润指数春季和秋季分布特征是南部比北部湿润,西部比东部湿润;夏季是北部适中,南部偏干,中部偏湿。上世纪90年代以后,陕西黄土高原各地区陆续进入暖干期,以关中东部持续时间最长。延安南部地表湿润指数年代之间变化较小,可能与大面积森林覆盖有关。地表湿润指数基本上有3a一周期的规律。     

近50年中国干湿气候界线波动及其成因初探

文中在 10a际尺度上详细分析了中国干湿气候界线波动与气候的干湿变化 ,得出 :过去 5 0a中国干湿气候界线波动显著 ,区域差异大 ,呈现出整体移动和东西、南北相异波动的特征。 2 0世纪 6 0～ 70年代中国干湿气候存在一次突变 ,由较湿润变为干旱 ,但各地干旱程度不同。干湿气候界线波动与气候的干湿变化具有显著的年代际特征。在此基础上分析了气候界线波动的可能原因 ,中国干湿气候界线的波动与气候的干湿变化是西太平洋副热带高压强度位置导致的东南季风、孟加拉湾暖流所导致的西南季风以及高原季风、中纬度西风环流等综合作用的结果。中国各地区干湿位相变化不一致 ,区域差异大 ,是不同环流以及环流的不同强弱组合所致。东南季风、西南季风、高原季风、中纬度西风环流、西太平洋副热带高压的年代际变化是过去 5 0a中国干湿气候界线波动与气候干湿变化年代际变化的根本原因。 2 0世纪 6 0～ 70年代的干湿突变 ,是整个北半球大气环流异常的结果     

我国南方夏半年干湿的年代际变化分析与转换机理探讨

用我国南方58年(1951—2008年)夏半年的总降水量、极端干期以及干湿指数综合表现干湿特征,进而用经验模态分解方法分析南方干湿的年代际变化。结果表明,58年内有3个干期(1961—1965、1985—1990和2005—2008年)以及3个湿期(1952—1954、1970—1973和1994—1998年)。为了探讨南方干湿的转换机制,采用与南方干湿年代际变化相关联的夏季风和西太平洋副热带高压等年代际环流因子作为结点构建网络,分析同步和耦合与干湿气候主要转换之间的关联。网络平均距离的3个局部最小值(即同步),都伴之以耦合的增强,对应着我国南方由湿期向干期的转换。      

广东气候变暖若干特征及其对气候带变化的影响

对广东省近50年的气温资料统计结果表明，广东省陆面气温增暖率为0．16℃／10年，低于全国和全球陆面增暖率；气候变暖的时空特征表现为冬季和春季明显大于夏季和秋季，沿海地区明显大于内陆地区，气候带向北移动的趋向明显，北热带区域面积在扩大，南亚热带区域面积在缩小，中亚热带区面积相对稳定。分析认为，在全球气候变暖的背景下，广东气候变暖具有地方性特征，主要是受大气环流、海温和人类活动等方面的综合影响。     

我国干湿气候区划研究进展

本文回顾和综述了20世纪中期以来我国在干湿气候区划指标、潜在蒸散计算方法、干湿气候区划等级划分标准及命名方式等方面的研究进展,在此基础上给出了利用干燥度指数进行干湿气候区划的计算方法和等级划分标准,并利用1981-2010年全国2207站的气象观测资料,对近30年来我国干湿气候空间特征进行了分析。结果表明,最近30年我国干旱区（包括极干旱、干旱和亚干旱区）面积为469.2万km²,占国土面积的48.8%,其中极干旱区、干旱区和亚干旱区面积分别为87.8万km²、209.2万km²和172.2万km²,分别占国土面积的9.1%、21.8%和17.9%,主要分布于新疆、内蒙古、西藏、青海、甘肃等西部地区;亚湿润区、湿润区和极湿润区面积占我国国土面积的比例分别为16.2%、27.8%和8.8%,主要位于我国长江以南及东北部分地区。     

Changes to the Natural Regional Boundaries in China During 1961-2007

Daily temperature data from 599 stations across China for the years 1961 to 2007 were used to analyze the changes in the natural regional boundaries.The results show that the accumulated temperature ≥ 10℃ and its duration changed dramatically from the end of 1990s to the early 21st century.The amplitude of natu-ral regional boundaries was greater in the 21st century than it was in the 20th century.In the eastern region of China,the climatic zones were migrating generally northward,with the northern edge of the subtropical zone and the eastern section of the warm temperate zone showing an obvious northward shift of up to 1 3° of lati-tude.The climatic zones moved south in the Qing-hai-Tibet Plateau,western Inner Mongolia,and some ar-eas of western Xinjiang,and slightly to the north in other parts of the western region.     

中国干旱半干旱区洪涝灾害的初步分析

中国干旱半干旱区的洪涝灾害是一个尚未引起人们重视的重大科学问题,这主要是因为干旱半干旱区对洪涝灾害的防范意识比较薄弱。而极端降水事件的次数、强度和持续时间与干旱半干旱区的洪涝灾害有密切联系,直接影响该区域洪涝灾害及其次生地质灾害的次数与严重程度。以干旱半干旱区的极端降水事件为切入点,分析了中国干旱半干旱区的极端降水事件次数和极端降水量的变化特征,旨在为干旱半干旱区的洪涝灾害研究提供科学依据。结果表明,进入21世纪以来,中国110°E以西的干旱半干旱区极端降水事件的日数有所增多,而110°E以东的区域日数都有所减少。干旱半干旱区极端降水量的变化也呈现出西增东减的分布,大部分干旱半干旱区的极端降水量变化占总降水量变化的40%以上,一部分地区能达到50%,甚至100%-200%。从季节变化来看,春季天山以北、新疆南部、甘肃敦煌和内蒙古包头以北地区极端降水量增加较多,夏季110°E以西的干旱半干旱区极端降水量均增大明显,秋季陕西榆林、内蒙古鄂尔多斯、包头和呼和浩特等地极端降水量增大较明显。     

中国干旱气候分区及其降水量变化特征

利用中国614个气象台站1974～2006年历年月平均降水资料,计算各站的降水量距平百分率及其干旱等级序列,采用REOF等方法,对干旱等级序列进行气候分区,并分析各区域50a左右干旱等级的时间演变特征。结果表明：全国降水量具有显著的年代际变化特征,尤其西北地区年代际变化十分突出,其中新疆西部地区在21世纪以来降水量的增加非常明显,增加的程度也是近33a中最强的。根据干旱等级序列的旋转载荷向量将中国划分为11个区域,它们各自具有不同的旱涝特征。干旱等级序列和代表站资料反映出近50a东北、华北及河套地区的干旱明显加重,而西北大部分地区降水量有显著的增加。     

Temporal and spatial variability of dryness/wetness in China during the last 530 years

Summary The main characteristics of spatial and temporal variability of dryness and wetness during the last 530 years (1470–1999) are classified over five centuries. They have been investigated by using 100-site dryness/wetness index data that has recorded the historical weather conditions that affect agriculture and living conditions in eastern China. A set of principal modes of spatial variability and time coefficient series describing the dominant temporal variability are extracted by a diagnostic method, the rotated empirical orthogonal function (REOF) analysis. The long-term precipitation around Beijing, north China and the long-term runoffs in the middle Yangtze River are used to confirm the dry/wet variability in north China and the mid-low Yangtze River over the last two centuries.When considering the data from the last 530 years as a whole, the first two modes of dryness/wetness variability are found in the mid to low sections of two major valleys in eastern China, the Yellow and Yangtze River valleys. These valleys experienced the largest dryness/wetness variability in the history of eastern China. The third and fourth modes are located in northwest and northeast China. The fifth and sixth modes are situated in south and southwest China. However, over the last 500 years the strength and location of principal modes have experienced significant changes. During the 20th century, the first mode is found in the lower Yangtze River valley, the second mode in south China while the third mode is located in the mid-low Yellow River valley. During the 19^th century, the first three modes are situated in the mid-low Yellow River, the mid-low Yangtze River and south China, respectively. The first two modes in the 18^th century are located in the mid-low Yellow River and the mid-low Yangtze River valleys. The largest change of all modes occurred in the 17^th century with the first mode in northeast China, the second mode in northwest China, and the third mode in the mid-low Yangtze River valley. During the 16^th century, the first two modes are found in the mid-low Yangtze River and the mid-low Yellow River valleys.In each of the last five centuries, some special dryness/wetness processes are characterized in the mid-low Yangtze River and the mid-low Yellow River (north China). During the 20^th century, continuous and severe wetness is experienced in the mid-low Yangtze River in the last two decades. A two-decade wetness period in north China was followed by a severe dry period in the late 19^th century. Inter-annual variability, decade and two-decade oscillations of dryness/wetness are experienced in the series of different modes from one century to another. Dry/wet variations in north China and the middle Yangtze River are confirmed by series of data on local precipitation and runoff.     

未来气候变化对西南地区地质灾害的可能影响

本研究利用区域气候模式RegCM4提供的RCP8.5(高排放)和RCP4.5(中排放)情景下的逐日平均气温和降水量,计算并分析了西南地区21世纪不同阶段平均气温、平均降水、连续干旱日数(CDD)、> 20mm的降水日数(R20mm)、连续5天最大降水量(Rx5day)和单日降水强度指数(SDII)相对于参照期(1986～2005年)的变化特征,进而定性地给出未来气候变化对西南地区地质灾害的可能影响。结果表明:未来西南地区因平均气温升高、平均降水量变化、持续干旱变化、强降水变化、降水集中程度变化和单日降水强度变化将导致地质灾害发生的可能性增大,但诱因不同、影响区域有差异;另外温室气体浓度越高,平均气温、平均降水以及相关极端指数相对于基准期变幅基本上都越大,相关地质灾害风险增加的可能性也越大。      

Fluctuations of the Semi-Arid Zone in China, and Consequences for Society

Herein, we calculate an aridity index, D, based on annual precipitation, P, and measured evaporation, PET, from φ20 evaporation pans: D = P/PET. The data were collected between 1951 and 1999 at 295 meteorological stations operated by the Chinese Meteorological Administration. On the basis of the index, three climatic regions are recognized in China: an arid zone in which D ≤ 0.20, a semi-arid zone with 0.20 < D ≤ 0.50, and a humid zone in which D > 0.50. Temporal fluctuations of the climate boundaries are substantial, and differ significantly regionally, and have the shifting features in the same direction in some areas and in opposite directions in others over the past 50 years. The semiarid zone lies along the border of the monsoon, and is thus highly susceptible to environmental change in China. In the period from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, the climate became drier in most parts of the regions of northern China. Moreover, the drought has an increasing trend. The fluctuations of climatic boundaries and the alternation from drier to wetter climate have substantial inter-decadal features. The main factors affecting the fluctuations in climate boundaries are the East Asian summer monsoon, the Indian Monsoon, the plateau monsoon in Tibetan Plateau, the westerly circulation, and the West Pacific Subtropical High. The different types of circulation and the strength of these circulations result in regional and temporal differences in aridity. Inter-decadal variations of the dry- and wet climate boundary fluctuations and of the arid and humid climate result from the inter-decadal changes of East Asian summer monsoon, Indian Monsoon, plateau monsoon, westerly circulation, and West Pacific Subtropical High. The anomalous general atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere during the late 1960s to the early 1970s is the cause of the remarkable change in arid and humid climate in China. Major natural disasters produced by arid and humid change are drought and flood disasters. They cause enormous economic losses to agriculture and industry. Furthermore, the loss has a substantial increasing trend. More than 110 cities are in severe water-deficiency conditions because of shortage of water resource in China. Drought has been a limiting factor of economic and social development in China.
