安徽省植被和地表温度季节变化及空间分布特征

卫星遥感广泛应用于宏观、大范围、动态连续的植被和地表温度监测研究。利用2001—2008年MODIS卫星遥感资料, 分析了安徽省归一化植被指数 (NDVI) 和地表温度 (LST) 的季节、月变化和空间分布特征,探讨了代表城市区域的NDVI和LST时空分布及其相关性。结果表明:安徽省NDVI和LST季节变化显著,具有典型地域特征;受当地气候影响,植被、农作物类型地域差异较大,导致LST季节变化以及空间分布不同;城市中心向郊区过渡时,植被覆盖度在不断增加,伴随着NDVI的增加,LST下降;城市LST明显高于郊区值,呈现热岛效应。研究表明,当地气候和植被分布共同决定了LST的分布状况,这将为安徽省合理进行农业区划、科学监测生态环境以及有效评估土地利用与热岛效应提供重要参考依据。     

基于哨兵2/3卫星高分辨率地表温度的降尺度方法

针对卫星遥感数据提取或生成地表温度（land surface temperature, LST）存在的时空分辨率矛盾,利用哨兵2/3卫星产品数据,其中哨兵3数据提供高时间分辨率影像,哨兵2数据提供高空间分辨率信息,并利用SNAP70及Excel2010软件,建立归一化植被指数与LST的相关关系,利用统计降尺度方法,成功将LST的空间尺度从1 000 m降至10 m,生成高时间分辨率10 m空间分辨率的LST。将原始1 000 m分辨率哨兵3地表温度图与降尺度到10 m空间分辨率的地表温度图对比,可以发现：降尺度地表温度图可以覆盖大部分原始1 000 m分辨率的地表温度信息,说明降尺度结果较好地保留了原始LST影像热特征的分布情况;而且,所生成的高空间分辨率的地表温度产品地物特征清晰,纹理明显。利用地面国家气象自动观测站实测0 cm地温数据验证降尺度结果,可以看出：误差平均值为26 K,误差值较小,说明降尺度结果精度较高。

气象卫星遥感地表温度推算近地表气温方法研究

气温是各种植物生理、水文、气象、环境等模式或模型中的一个非常重要的近地表气象参数.多年来气温数据以离散的常规气象站点观测为主,连续分布的格点气温数据则以站点资料插值而得到,分辨率低,无法反映地形等下垫面因素对局地气温的影响,在农业气候区划等研究中具有一定的局限性.随着卫星遥感地表温度算法的日趋成熟,为探讨卫星遥感地表温度数据在气温观测中的可能性和可行性,利用全中国2340个站点1998 2007年的逐旬平均最高气温数据,以及相应时段的NOAA/AVHRR旬最高地表温度数据,以线性回归及拟合模型为主,通过考虑植被指数、土地覆盖类型、季节、风速、气压、降水等各类影响因子,建立了旬最高地表温度与旬平均最高气温间的推算模型,并利用未参与建模的2002-2003年的常规气象站点气温数据,同时与推算气温和插值气温结果进行对比分析.结果表明,利用卫星遥感地表温度数据推算的旬值气温数据可取得较高的精度,尤其在地形复杂地区以及站点稀疏地区精度明显高于插值气温结果.     

基于MODIS数据的近地表气温估算

气温是各种植物生理、水文、环境等模型中一个非常重要的近地表气象参数,多年来气温数据均以气象站点资料插值得到。近年来,卫星遥感数据被用于气温估算,且精度不断提高。为研究基于MODIS数据的近地表气温估算方法,以浙江省为研究区域,利用33个站点2011年逐日每10 min一次的自动气象站气温观测数据和MODIS地表温度产品及参数因子,建立了MODIS地表温度和地面观测的气温的线性关系,同时通过考虑归一化植被指数、水汽压、地表反照率、高程4个影响因子,得出了卫星过境时刻MODIS地表温度和气温的多因子估算模型;利用Zaksek等提出的基于能量平衡的遥感模型进行了气温估算,并采用多元回归分析法对该模型重新进行了拟合,得到近地表气温。结果表明:三种方法的决定系数R2分别为0.87、0.94、0.90,均方根误差RMSE分别为3.35℃、2.31℃、2.78℃,多因子估算模型得到的结果最好。同时对其分白天和夜间进行检验,二者的RMSE分别为2.27℃、1.93℃,夜间精度比白天高。对于季节的变化,秋季估算结果最好,春季次之,冬季稍差,夏季最差。     

基于MODIS遥感产品估算西北半干旱区的陆面蒸散量

在中分辨率成像光谱仪(MODIS)数据产品的基础上,使用MODIS地表温度替代净辐射及蒸散模型中的气温进行计算,并利用兰州大学半干旱气候与环境监测站(SACOL)的实测资料对模型进行修正。将模型修正前后估算的SACOL站和定西干旱气象与生态环境试验站(定西站)的净辐射和蒸散与实测值进行对比。结果表明,MODIS的白天\夜间地表温度与日最高\最低气温之间具有很好的相关性,相关系数都超过0.75,使用其替代气温进行净辐射和蒸散的估算是可行的,且各参数具有明确的物理意义。通过比较模型估算值与地面通量观测站的实测值发现:使用实测资料对模型进行修正后,净辐射和蒸散的估算结果较修正前有了明显的改善。净辐射估算值与实测值之间的均方根误差减小到25.93 W·m~(-2);修正后模型估算的SACOL站和定西站蒸散更接近于实测值,均方根误差分别减小到0.81 mm和0.68 mm,相关系数都增加到0.6以上,通过了0.01显著性水平检验;且遥感估算的区域蒸散分布特征与地表覆盖特征相符,说明利用修正后模型估算的净辐射和地表蒸散是合理的,由于这种估算净辐射和蒸散的模型不需要任何实时地面资料的辅助,可以为观测资料缺乏地区的辐射及蒸散研究提供一种新的思路。     

基于FY-3D卫星的微波与光学陆表温度融合研究

目前还没有基于国产卫星的1 km分辨率的全天候陆表温度(LST)产品,FY-3D卫星提供了中分辨率成像仪(MERSI)Ⅱ型1 km分辨率晴空LST产品与微波成像仪(MWRI)25 km全天候LST产品,因此可结合两者优势开展全天候1 km分辨率LST的融合研究。基于地理加权回归(GWR)方法,选择海拔、FY-3D归一化植被指数和归一化建筑指数等建立GWR模型对FY-3D/MWRI 25 km LST降尺度到1 km,并与MERSI 1 km LST进行融合;同时针对MWRI轨道间隙,利用前后1天融合后的云覆盖像元1 km LST进行补值,可以得到接近全天候下的1 km LST。基于以上融合算法,选择了中国区域多个典型日期FY-3D/MERSI和MWRI LST官网产品进行了融合试验,并利用公开发布的全天候1 km LST产品(TPDC LST)对FY-3D1 km LST融合结果进行了评估。研究结果表明,基于GWR法的LST降尺度方法,可以有效避免传统微波LST降尺度方法中存在的“斑块”效应和局地温度偏低等问题;LST融合结果有值率从融合前的22.4%～36.9%可提高到融合后69.3...     

用Kriging方法对中国历史气温数据插值可行性讨论

使用 Kriging 插值方法对已经过质量控制和均一化的1951年1月-2004年12月中国全部基本、基准站气温资料逐月进行空间插值.通过站点的实际序列与插值后格点序列进行比较,针对相关系数和线性趋势等多个量来检验 Kriging 方法对气候资料插值的效果.结果表明:插值前、后的气温空间分布、气温变化趋势都非常一致,从年际变化来看,插值序列与实际站点序列的相关性也非常高.对比分析还发现用距平序列的插值效果要明显优于原始气温序列插值,但不同的球面模型半径插值在站点稀疏地区的插值结果差别较大,需要先对气候要素进行空间代表性进行分析,以合适的球面半径进行插值.对于气候变化比较特殊的地区,如中国西南部分地区,插值序列很难反映更小尺度的气候变化规律.     

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.     

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.     

IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION ON THE IMMIGRATION OF NILAPARVATA LUGENS(STL) IN HUNAN AND JIANGXI PROVINCES

Various features of the atmospheric environment affect the number of migratory insects, besides their initial population. However, little is known about the impact of atmospheric low-frequency oscillation(10 to 90 days) on insect migration. A case study was conducted to ascertain the influence of low-frequency atmospheric oscillation on the immigration of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens(Stl), in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The results showed the following:(1) The number of immigrating N. lugens from April to June of 2007 through 2016 mainly exhibited a periodic oscillation of 10 to 20 days.(2) The 10-20 d low-frequency number of immigrating N. lugens was significantly correlated with a low-frequency wind field and a geopotential height field at 850 h Pa.(3) During the peak phase of immigration, southwest or south winds served as a driving force and carried N. lugens populations northward, and when in the back of the trough and the front of the ridge, the downward airflow created a favorable condition for N. lugens to land in the study area. In conclusion, the northward migration of N. lugens was influenced by a low-frequency atmospheric circulation based on the analysis of dynamics. This study was the first research connecting atmospheric low-frequency oscillation to insect migration.     

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF TWO TYPES OF EL NIO EVENTS

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions before the onset of EP El Ni?o and CP El Ni?o in nearly 30 years are compared and analyzed by using 850 hPa wind, 20℃ isotherm depth, sea surface temperature and the Wheeler and Hendon index. The results are as follows: In the western equatorial Pacific, the occurrence of the anomalously strong westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Its intensity is far stronger than that of the CP El Ni?o. Two months before the El Ni?o, the anomaly westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o have extended to the eastern Pacific region, while the westerly wind anomaly of the CP El Ni?o can only extend to the west of the dateline three months before the El Ni?o and later stay there. Unlike the EP El Ni?o, the CP El Ni?o is always associated with easterly wind anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific before its onset. The thermocline depth anomaly of the EP El Ni?o can significantly move eastward and deepen. In addition, we also find that the evolution of thermocline is ahead of the development of the sea surface temperature for the EP El Ni?o. The strong MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o in the western and central Pacific is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Measured by the standard deviation of the zonal wind square, the intensity of MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o is significantly greater than that of the CP El Ni?o before the onset of El Ni?o.     

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
