近40年西藏色林错流域湖泊面积变化及影响因素分析

本文根据1975年地形图、1976～2016年Landsat (MSS\TM\ETM\OLI-TIRS)卫星遥感数据以及流域周围的气象资料分析湖面面积和流域周围冰川变化,并探讨了湖泊面积变化的可能影响气象原因。结果表明:1975～2016年间色林错、错鄂和班戈错湖面面积变化趋势有所不同。这一段时间内色林错湖面面积一直处于增长态势,面积增长为757.35km2,增长幅度为46.7%,增长速率为475.2km2/10a;而错鄂湖面面积在这一段时间内有增有减,但面积增量较小,总体保持稳定,面积增长为3.07km2,增长幅度为1.17%;班戈错湖面在这一段时间内面积略有波动,呈增长趋势,增长为49.75km2,增长速率为19.71km2/10a。从空间动态分布来看,色林错扩大较明显的区域为该湖的北部,班戈错扩大明显区域在东北部。色林错流域,近50a降水量年际变化波动较大,总体上呈增加趋势,平均每10a增加13.72mm。地表年平均气温呈显著上升趋势,平均每10年升高0.37℃。20世纪70年代至90年代以气温偏低为主,进入21世纪后,气温快速升温。1986～2016年间色林错流域冰川面积呈现出退缩、减少状态,总共减少了50.16km2,冰川面积变化率为7.57%。综合分析表明,色林错流域湖泊面积变化与气温和降水都有关,同时反映出该区域气温升高使得冰川融水量增加对湖泊补给有一定的作用。      

2002-2017年扎日南木错湖面面积变化分析

利用2002～2017年MODIS数据,结合3个气象站观测资料,分析扎日南木错2002～2017年湖面变化以及气象要素之间相关性。分析表明;近15年来扎日南木错湖泊水域面积整体呈波动上升趋势,从空间分布来看,扎日南木错的西部和北部湖面扩张的比较明显,尤其是北部有个小岛,可以看到从小岛形成到消失过程。气温整体呈上升趋势,降水量和蒸发量呈下降趋势,湖泊水域面积变化与气温呈正相关,蒸发量和降水量呈负相关。      

青藏高原东南缘不同类型生态系统碳、水交换特征

青藏高原东南缘横断山脉地区是南亚和东亚季风的交汇处,也是大气变化的敏感区和热源区。开展该地区地气相互作用对区域水热过程影响机制及其参数化研究,对于研究青藏高原大气水汽传输的关键过程问题有重大意义。本文介绍了基于涡动观测法开展的青藏高原东南缘地区的地气相互作用观测试验,并总结了洱海湖面、丽江高山草甸及腾冲北海湿地的地气交换特征,以及利用数值模式开展复杂山地局地环流特征的研究工作。目前已初步明确和揭示青藏高原东南缘横断山脉不同类型下垫面的地气交换特征及其影响因素,主要结论如下：青藏高原东南缘高山草甸的碳、水交换过程受降水分布影响显著,“浮毯型”湿地(水面常年覆盖有“浮毯”状苔草草排)的碳、水交换除了受气象因素影响外,也受到下垫面植被和水体比例变化的影响。不同类型生态系统的碳、水交换过程在不同时间尺度的影响因子存在差别。风速始终是湖泊潜热和CO₂交换的关键影响因子,而降水在较长时间尺度对湖泊CO₂通量也有显著影响。此外,青藏高原东南缘的复杂地形对于生态系统的碳、水交换过程也有显著影响。复杂地形产生的不同类型的局地环流对于生态系统的碳、水交换过程有不...     

2012年太湖蒸发量变化特征及蒸发模型评估研究

湖泊蒸发是全球能量分布,水文循环的重要组成部分,同时是气候及生态系统环境变化的指示因子。运用太湖湖上观测平台大浦口站2012年涡度相关数据分析了太湖蒸发量的月变化及日变化特征,并评估了11种蒸发模型。结果表明：太湖2012年总蒸发量为1066.2 mm。潜热通量是太湖净辐射能量分配中的主导项, 2012年太湖地区潜热通量占净辐射通量的91.9%。2～7月为太湖水体储热阶段,当净辐射在7月达到最大值时,蒸发值也达到最大值;净辐射8月开始减少,至12月达到最小值,期间湖体储热释放,使得蒸发量在2月才达到最小值。采用涡度相关系统观测太湖蒸发量的数据评估了11种蒸发模型,分别从年蒸发总量和蒸发量月变化特征来探讨模型对于太湖蒸发量计算的适用性,其中以波文比能量平衡模型表现最好,与涡度相关观测值的相关系数为0.99,中心化均方根误差为4.50 mm month^-1。     

沈阳市城乡梯度湿地水体碳氮磷含量变化研究

湿地是人类生存和发展的重要环境之一,然而城镇化在带动经济发展的同时也严重影响了湿地生态系统。本文利用城乡梯度研究方法结合湿地分布特征,设置从沈阳城市中心到城市边缘的研究样带,沿着城镇密集区（浑河）—郊区（蒲河）—乡村（卧龙湖,仙子湖）梯度带选取典型湖泊和河流湿地样地为研究对象,系统分析城镇化对湿地水体碳氮磷含量的影响。研究发现湿地水体碳氮磷含量与城乡梯度具有相关性,总碳（TC）和可溶性有机碳（DOC）含量及SUVA₂₈₀值沿城镇密集区—郊区—乡村梯度带逐渐增加,即远离市中心的乡村卧龙湖湿地最高,分别为（120.68±2.34）mg/L,（41.56±6.27）mg/L和（0.35±0.10）L/(mg·m),显著高于位于四环以外乡村仙子湖湿地、流经沈阳市四环蒲河和穿越三环浑河湿地水体。湿地水体氮磷含量总体上沿着城乡梯度带呈降低趋势,但蒲河湿地水体总氮（TN）和总磷（TP）含量最高,分别为（5.35±0.19）mg/L和（1.45±0.07）mg/L,显著高于位于城镇密集区的浑河湿地水体。城镇化作用总体上增加了湿地水体铵态氮（NH₄⁺-N）和硝态氮（NO₃^--N）含量,其中,横穿城镇密集区的浑河湿地水体NH₄⁺-N含量最高,为（1.28±0.14）mg/L;NO₃^--N含量则是位于郊区的蒲河湿地水体最高,为(1.42±0.15) mg/L。研究结果表明城镇化改变了湿地生态系统水体碳氮磷含量,使水体DOC含量降低,小分子化合物增多,不利于DOC在水体中的累积;同时由于人类活动的加剧也使氮磷排放增加,使水体氮磷超标,导致流经城镇密集区部分的浑河和蒲河湿地NH₄⁺-N和NO₃^--N含量高于乡村。未来随着城镇化的不断发展,应严加控制和合理规划,防止城镇化导致的湿地水体污染和生态系统的破坏。     

关于西北太平洋季风槽年际和年代际变异及其对热带气旋生成影响和机理的研究

总结和综述近年来中国科学院大气物理研究所季风系统研究中心,关于西北太平洋季风槽的年际和年代际变异及其对热带气旋和台风(TCs)生成的影响和机理的气候学研究进展,并综述一些有关的国内外研究。给出了夏、秋季西北太平洋季风槽的气候特征以及利于TCs生成的四类季风槽环流型,表明了西北太平洋季风槽强度和位置有明显的年际和年代际变异。特别是揭示了西北太平洋季风槽的年际和年代际变异不仅通过影响西北太平洋上空对流层低层气流的涡度和对流层高层的散度、对流层中、下层的水汽以及对流层上下层风场的垂直切变等利于TCs生成的大尺度环境因子的分布而影响TCs的生成,而且通过对热带对流耦合波动的转化和提供扰动能量而对TCs生成起着重要的动力作用。还指出今后有关西北太平洋季风槽和TCs活动一些亟需进一步研究的气候学问题。     

超强厄尔尼诺事件海洋学特征分析与预测回顾

2015/2016年厄尔尼诺事件被认为是一次与1982/1983和1997/1998年相当的超强事件。基于多套再分析数据,比较了此次事件的海洋上层变量主要特征与历史上两次超强事件的异同,并利用热带太平洋混合层热收支方程对主要物理过程进行了定量分析。研究认为,2015/2016年事件前期为异常高海温东传特征,且前期形成了一次弱的中太平洋型暖事件;但后期表现为弱西传特征,在成熟位相转换成东太平洋型强厄尔尼诺。此次事件中伴随着多次西风爆发事件和开尔文波东传,但赤道开尔文波在盛期基本维持在中东太平洋而不继续东传,赤道外罗斯贝波西传特征亦不明显。相比之下,此次事件在发展-成熟期前后的赤道“热容量放电”过程更加明显些。此次事件异常暖中心位置偏西,其主要原因很可能与赤道东太平洋的强东风异常和冷海水上翻,以及纬向洋流异常和次表层温度异常分布偏西有关;东边界冷水入侵,削弱赤道东太平洋海温异常程度,可能是此次事件位置偏西的直接原因。在海洋上层热量收支中,此次事件中温跃层反馈是促进海温升高和位相转换的最关键过程,纬向平流反馈项亦发挥了重要作用,两种过程共同形成了超强的升温幅度和偏西的异常暖海温分布型。中国国家气候中心新一代ENSO预测系统（SEMAP2.0）每年两次的实际会商预测中给出了较为合理的预测,特别是考虑前期海洋变化预报因子信息的统计模型更好地预测出了海温异常的波动演变状况,成为多方法集合（MME）的重要成员。      

On the causes of glacial inception at 116 kaBP

To explore processes involved in glacial inception at 116 kaBP, the response of an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) to changes in lower boundary conditions is investigated. Two 116 kaBP experiments are conducted to examine the importance of sea surface conditions (sea surface temperature and sea ice distribution): one with the present-day sea surface conditions, and the other with 116 kaBP sea surface conditions. These two different sea surface conditions are obtained from simulations using an earth system climate model of intermediate complexity. Perennial snow cover occurred over the Canadian Archipelago under 116 kaBP orbital and CO₂ forcing with present-day "warm" sea surface conditions, and further expanded over northeastern Canada when 116 kaBP "cool" sea surface conditions were applied. The net positive accumulation in northeastern Canada, with little in Alaska, is in good agreement with geological records. Two additional 116 kaBP experiments are conducted to examine the combined importance of sea surface conditions and land surface conditions (vegetation): one with the present-day sea surface and modified land surface conditions, and the other with 116 kaBP sea surface and modified land surface conditions. Modifying vegetation, based on cooling during summer induced by 116 kaBP sea surface conditions, leads to much larger areas of perennial snow cover. Only when 116 kaBP sea surface conditions are applied, is a realistic global net snow accumulation rate obtained. Contrary to the earlier ice age hypothesis, our results suggest that the capturing of glacial inception at 116 kaBP requires the use of "cooler" sea surface conditions than those of the present climate. Also, the large impact of vegetation change on climate suggests that the inclusion of the vegetation feedback is important for model validation, at least, in this particular period of Earth history.     

The correlation of summer precipitation in the southwestern U.S.A. with isotopic records of solar activity during the medieval warm period

Decreased solar activity correlates with positive cosmogenic isotope anomalies, and with cool, wet climate in temperate regions of the world. The relationship of isotope anomalies to climate may be the opposite for areas influenced by monsoonal precipitation, i.e., negative anomalies may be wet and warm. Petersen (1988) has found evidence for increased summer precipitation in the American Southwest that can be shown to be coincident with negative¹⁴C anomalies during the Medieval Warm Period. The present study compares palynological indicators of lake level for the Southwest with Petersen's data and with the¹⁴C isotope chronology. Percentages of aquatic pollen and algae from three sites within the Arizona Monsoon record greater lake depth or fresher water from A.D. 700–1350, between the Roman IV and Wolf positive isotope anomalies, thereby supporting Petersens's findings. Maximum summer moisture coincides with maximum population density of prehistoric people of the Southwest. However, water depth at a more northern site was low at this time, suggesting a climateisotope relationship similar to that of other temperate regions. Further analysis of latitudinal patterns is hampered by inadequate¹⁴C dating.     

Spatial distribution and long-term trends of water transparency in Lake Ladoga

Based on the analysis of the surface water transparency (the depth of the Secchi disk disappearance), a seasonal trend of transparency for the entire lake water area was derived for the largest European lake, Lake Ladoga, on an equidistant grid and for limnetic regions. A spatial distribution of monthly mean water transparency of Lake Ladoga is considered from May to October. Climatic trends of transparency are assessed for the period from 1905 to 2003. The climatic trends are analyzed with a linear model used for each month from May to September. The areas with significant negative trends are singled out. A mean trend value is 0.02 m/year. The character of a spatial trend distribution changes depending on the month. In summer, the area with significant trends increases and covers about half of the lake water area. In the spring and in the fall, this area is much smaller and coincides with the southern regions of the lake.     

The response of Lake Tahoe to climate change

Meteorology is the driving force for lake internal heating, cooling, mixing, and circulation. Thus continued global warming will affect the lake thermal properties, water level, internal nutrient loading, nutrient cycling, food-web characteristics, fish-habitat, aquatic ecosystem, and other important features of lake limnology. Using a 1-D numerical model—the Lake Clarity Model (LCM) —together with the down-scaled climatic data of the two emissions scenarios (B1 and A2) of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Global Circulation Model, we found that Lake Tahoe will likely cease to mix to the bottom after about 2060 for A2 scenario, with an annual mixing depth of less than 200 m as the most common value. Deep mixing, which currently occurs on average every 3–4 years, will (under the GFDL B1 scenario) occur only four times during 2061 to 2098. When the lake fails to completely mix, the bottom waters are not replenished with dissolved oxygen and eventually dissolved oxygen at these depths will be depleted to zero. When this occurs, soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and ammonium-nitrogen (both biostimulatory) are released from the deep sediments and contribute approximately 51 % and 14 % of the total SRP and dissolved inorganic nitrogen load, respectively. The lake model suggests that climate change will drive the lake surface level down below the natural rim after 2085 for the GFDL A2 but not the GFDL B1 scenario. The results indicate that continued climate changes could pose serious threats to the characteristics of the Lake that are most highly valued. Future water quality planning must take these results into account.     

2006—2011年西藏纳木错湖冰状况及其影响因素分析

湖冰是气候变化的指示器,为分析纳木错地区气候对湖冰冰情的影响,利用2006—2011年西藏纳木错(面积2000km2)和白马纳木错(面积1.45 km2)湖冰的观测资料,结合MODIS遥感影像资料分析了两个湖泊完全冻结日期、完全解冻日期、封冻期、湖冰厚度的状况及其与气温和风速的关系。纳木错湖湖冰冰情主要受气温的影响,同时也受风速的影响。纳木错湖的完全冻结日期集中在2月,完全解冻日期在5月中旬,封冻期平均天数为90 d,封冻期与冬季负积温具有较好的对应关系。面积较小的白马纳木错冰情的年际波动较大,其平均封冻期为124 d。纳木错湖的最大冰厚一般出现在3月,其厚度为58~65 cm。     

Recent and Future Climate Change in Northwest China

As a consequence of global warming and an enhanced water cycle, the climate changed in northwest China, most notably in the Xinjiang area in the year 1987. Precipitation, glacial melt water and river runoff and air temperature increased continuously during the last decades, as did also the water level of inland lakes and the frequency of flood disasters. As a result, the vegetation cover is improved, number of days with sand-dust storms reduced. From the end of the 19th century to the 1970s, the climate was warm and dry, and then changed to warm and wet. The effects on northwest China can be classified into three classes by using the relation between precipitation and evaporation increase. If precipitation increases more than evaporation, runoff increases and lake water levels rise. We identify regions with: (1) notable change, (2) slight change and (3) no change. The future climate for doubled CO₂ concentration is simulated in a nested approach with the regional climate model-RegCM2. The annual temperature will increase by 2.7 ^ C and annual precipitation by 25%. The cooling effect of aerosols and natural factors will reduce this increase to 2.0 ^C and 19% of precipitation. As a consequence, annual runoff may increase by more than 10%.     

热带气旋“利奇马”(1909)暖心演变分析及变性过程探讨

利用NCEP GDAS/FNL再分析数据,根据TFP(Thermal Front Parameter)参数和锋生函数,对1909号热带气旋“利奇马”生命史中各主要阶段暖心特征和变性过程进行了诊断分析。结果表明:“利奇马”强度为热带风暴时,其暖心结构较为松散,500 hPa以上和600 hPa以下分别存在一个最强中心,在强度减弱阶段上下层暖心均偏离气旋中心;当其强度升至强热带风暴及以上级别时,低层暖心消失,高层暖心显著增强,结构变得紧凑,气旋中心上空暖区呈棒槌状分布。高层暖心强度与“利奇马”强度呈正相关,当“利奇马”维持超强台风时,其暖心可达10~14℃。“利奇马”与中纬度西风槽接触后,冷空气开始自对流层中低层进入其环流,低层冷空气入侵的程度比中层更明显;低层暖心被冷空气侵蚀而消失,高层暖心则逐渐减弱,结构亦变得松散。TFP参数和锋生函数计算结果表明受冷空气影响,“利奇马”斜压性逐渐增强,其中心西北侧形成一支暖锋,逐渐变性为温带气旋,但冷锋未见发展。变性过程中“利奇马”高层暖心强度虽减弱但仍然维持,但低层暖区被冷空气完全填塞,导致其变性后较快消亡。     

Simulated Climate Change Effects on Year-Round Water Temperatures in Temperate Zone Lakes

A deterministic, one-dimensional model is presented to simulate daily water temperature profiles and associated ice and snow covers for dimictic and polymictic lakes of the temperate zone. The lake parameters required as model input are surface area (A_s), maximum depth (H_MAX), and Secchi depth (z_s), the latter, used as a measure of light attenuation and trophic state. The model is driven by daily weather data and operates year-round over multiple years. The model has been tested with extensive data (over 5,000 temperature points). Standard error between simulated and measured water temperatures is 1.4°C in the open water season and 0.5°C in the ice cover season. The model is applied to simulate the sensitivity of Minnesota lake water temperature characteristics to climate change. The projected climate changes due to a doubling of atmospheric CO₂ are obtained from the output of the Canadian Climate Center General Circulation Model (CCC GCM) and the Goddard Institute of Space Studies General Circulation Model (GISS GCM). Simulated lake temperature characteristics have been plotted in a coordinate system with a lake geometry ratio (A _s ^0.25 /H_MAX) on one axis and Secchi depth on the other. The lake geometry ratio expresses a lake's susceptibility to stratification. By interpolation, the sensitivity of lake temperature characteristics to changes of water depth and Secchi depth under the projected climate scenarios can therefore be obtained. Selected lake temperature characteristics simulated with past climate conditions (1961–1979) and with a projected 2 × CO₂ climate scenario as input are presented herein in graphical form. The simulation results show that under the 2 × CO₂ climate scenario ice formation is delayed and ice cover period is shortened. These changes cause water temperature modifications throughout the year.     

The Equatorial Undercurrent in the central Atlantic and its relation to tropical Atlantic variability

Seasonal to interannual variations of the Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) in the central Atlantic at 23°W are studied using shipboard observation taken during the period 1999–2011 as well as moored velocity time series covering the period May 2005–June 2011. The seasonal variations are dominated by an annual harmonic of the EUC transport and the EUC core depth (both at maximum during September), and a semiannual harmonic of the EUC core velocity (maximum during April and September). Substantial interannual variability during the period of moored observation included anomalous cold/warm equatorial Atlantic cold tongue events during 2005/2008. The easterly winds in the western equatorial Atlantic during boreal spring that represent the preconditioning of cold/warm events were strong/weak during 2005/2008 and associated with strong/weak boreal summer EUC transport. The anomalous year 2009 was instead associated with weak preconditioning and smallest EUC transport on record from January to July, but during August coldest SST anomalies in the eastern equatorial Atlantic were observed. The interannual variations of the EUC are discussed with respect to recently described variability of the tropical Atlantic Ocean.     

Holocene climate evolution of the Ugii Nuur basin,Mongolia

In order to evaluate the Holocene palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Ugii Nuur basin, central Mongolia, investigations on chemical and mineralogical properties of lacustrine sediments were carried out on a 630 cm sediment core from lake Ugii Nuur. The interpretation of the record is based on a principal component analysis （PCA） of the elemental composition of the samples. The results show that lacustrine deposition started at 10.6 kyr BP. Low lake level conditions were identified during the Early Holocene （10.6-7.9 kyr BP）. The Mid Holocene （7.9-4.2 kyr BP） was characterized by generally higher lake levels and thus higher moisture supply, but it experienced strong climatic fluctuations. Arid conditions prevailed from 4.2-2.8 kyr BP and were followed by a stable, more humid phase until today.
