采用改进的EMD(经验模态分解)方法对前人重建的全新世石笋、冰芯氧同位素古气候记录和树轮~(14)C含量变化太阳活动替代指标时间序列进行分析,提取到88~110、206~220、~350、~520、~1 000、~2 200和~4 300a等二者基本一致的准周期信号,探讨了太阳活动在百千年尺度上对气候变化的可能影响。     

ENSO事件对淮河流域降水的影响

研究表明,ENSO事件和淮河流域降水异常之间有明显的相关性。功率谱分析显示ENSO的冷事件和暖事件有三个共同的明显周期,即18个月、26个月和47个月;淮河流域降水异常的周期成分复杂,但同样存在明显的26个月周期。对。ENSO事件年份淮河流域降水异常的年内分布规律的分析结果表明：EL Nino年份的春季和冬季降水明显增多,而在LA Nina年份降水普遍减少,尤其以7月减少最为显著：在SO指数偏高年份,淮河流域降水明显减少,尤其是9、10、11三个月,减少量都在30％以上：而在SO指数偏低年份,春季和冬季降水明显增多。时间序列的滞后分析发现淮河流域降水异常对ENSO事件有3个月左右的响应滞后时间,对EL Nino响应的滞后时间大约4～5个月。

中国东南春季降水异常特征及其与ENSO关系的年代际变化

利用中国160站观测降水资料和美国NOAA ERSST海温资料以及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,研究了中国东南地区春季降水异常特征及其与ENSO关系的年代际变化。结果表明:东南春季降水异常具有全区一致性,在1950年代末之前有不显著的上升趋势,之后一直呈现下降趋势,其中在1960年代初至1970年代初下降趋势显著,1980、1990年代趋势较为平稳,1999年之后下降趋势增加。在过去64年中,中国东南春季降水与ENSO有显著的相关关系,即在El Ni珘no事件发生的次年春季,东南地区一般降水偏多,其主要机制为ENSO通过影响西北太平洋异常反气旋进而影响中国东南地区春季降水,并且利用前冬季Ni珘no3区海温指数可提前4个月较好地预测东南地区春季降水。进一步分析表明,东南春季降水与ENSO的相关关系具有年代际差异:在1969—1990年间两者相关性较好;而在1951—1968年和1991—2014年间,两者相关性较弱。在不同时间段内,与东南春季降水相应的春季环流系统有较大差异,ENSO作为影响因子的重要性也发生变化。在1951—1968年,影响降水的环流系统主要位于中高纬度,而西北太平洋反气旋位置较为偏东,难以影响到中国东部地区;在1969—1990年,副高和西北太平洋异常反气旋是影响东南春季降水的主要环流系统,反气旋西侧气流是提供水汽的主要来源;在1991—2014年,东南春季降水受到高低纬环流系统共同影响,来自印度洋西风气流和西北太平洋反气旋西侧气流共同为降水提供水汽,ENSO的作用减弱。因此,在中国东南春季降水预测中必须根据不同年代际背景考虑ENSO作为预报因子的可靠性。     

ENSO对华东地区春季降水影响的不对称性

利用1958—2019年的观测和再分析数据集,对冷、暖两类厄尔尼诺-南方涛动（El Niño-Southern Oscillation,ENSO）事件与后期华东地区春季降水之间的关系进行了分析。结果表明：（1）在暖ENSO事件中,华东春季降水量与前冬季ENSO海面温度异常存在较强的正相关关系。在冷ENSO事件中,这种强正相关向内陆地区西移,主要集中在江西和湖南。（2）暖ENSO事件通常会导致浙江、江苏和福建等沿海省份春季降水量过剩,而冷ENSO事件往往导致江西和湖南降水偏少。这归因于ENSO对大气环流的非线性影响。（3）与暖ENSO事件相比,冷ENSO事件引起的海面温度异常中心明显西移,造成异常低层大气环流的西移,最终导致华东降水的西移效应。（4）通过分析和发现,强调了华东春季降水对ENSO的非线性响应,这对华东地区的季节性气候预测具有重要意义。     

ENSO非对称性对热带降水的影响研究

利用1966—2015年多种海气资料,分析了热带太平洋海域的ENSO非对称性表现,结果表明:在赤道东太平洋,ENSO暖事件强度大于ENSO冷事件,而在赤道中、西太平洋上与之相反,即在振幅强度和发生位置上存在不对称。研究还发现,在厄尔尼诺年的冬季,热带印度洋-太平洋海域整体上呈现出"正-负-正"的降水异常分布形势,而在拉尼娜年冬季,则呈现出"负-正-负-正"的降水异常分布形势,并且,降水距平的正负异常中心在厄尔尼诺年与拉尼娜年冬季存在纬向不同程度的偏移,表现出ENSO冷暖事件年冬季降水异常的非对称性。通过定量计算降水对热带海域的贡献,得到赤道中太平洋的降水量主要来源于厄尔尼诺年,赤道东太平洋的降水则主要来源于拉尼娜年,而热带印度洋及赤道西太平洋的大部分降水由中性年贡献。此外,对热带印度洋-太平洋划分厄尔尼诺强度与热带降水线性与非线性区域,发现在赤道西太平洋和赤道中太平洋及其偏东区域线性关系较为明显。     

热带太平洋气候变率的三类模态及与ENSO强度变化的关系

基于Kaplan等重建的1856—2001年全球海表水温距平(SSTA)资料，用小波变换分析了热带太平洋SSTA的气候变率，对热带太平洋SSTA分别进行2—8、8—30和30—100a带通滤波，然后进行EOF分解。结果发现，ENSO模态具有5a左右的年际变化和15a左右的年代际变化2种显著周期，当二者位相相同时，ENSO事件加强，当二者位相相反时，ENSO事件减弱，当年际变化不明显时，显著的年代际变化也可单独导致ENSO事件；热带太平洋SSTA气候态变率以西太平洋暖池和赤道两侧的热带中东太平洋明显海温同号异常为主要特征，具60a左右的周期，其相位变化与气候跃变及El Nifio事件的类型有密切联系；长期增温倾向加大了El Nifio事件的振幅。文章最后指出，ENSO事件强度变化是由年际、年代际和气候态等3类模态变率共同作用的结果，在ENSO预报模式中考虑并引入年代际和气候态变化对ENSO循环的影响，是提高ENSO预测水平的有效途径之一。     

Manifestation of the Arctic Oscillation and El Niño-Southern Oscillation in the tropical stratosphere

Characteristics of the Arctic Oscillation and El Niño-Southern Oscillation effects manifested on interannual scales in the equatorial stratosphere are determined. Wavelet analysis of local phase shifts, coherence, and correlation is used to obtain correlation portraits of the largest factors of climate variability against the background of coherent variations in the equatorial stratospheric wind speed at the 50- and 15-hPa pressure levels. It is shown that the Arctic Oscillation and El Niño-Southern Oscillation signals may reach the tropical stratosphere. The signals are easily identified in a wide range of scales, including quasi-biennial, 3-to 5-year, and 10-to 11-year periods. The results obtained reflect a coherent pattern of the manifestation of these signals at the selected stratospheric levels. It is found that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation effect at periods close to 10–11 years reaches the stratospheric level rather rapidly, in the same or next month, while the effects of the Arctic Oscillation index are delayed by nine months. The estimates obtained show that a phase shift of almost 180° in the Arctic Oscillation index relative to the equatorial stratospheric wind occurred in almost all of the range of interannual periods in 1978 and 1992. For the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, an increase in local correlations on a scale of 3-to 5-year variations was observed in 1980–1990, a 180° phase shift occurred in 1992, and the correlation with stratospheric wind increased in 1992–2004. The estimates obtained are indicative of a change in the atmospheric circulation pattern that took place in the Northern Hemisphere in 1978–1991.     

Quasi-biennial variations in ozone and meteorological parameters over western Europe from ozonesonde data

Quasi-biennial variations in vertical profiles of ozone, temperature, air pressure, and zonal and meridional wind velocities are analyzed from ozonesonde data obtained at the western European stations of Lindenberg, Hohenpeissenberg, and Payerne. The effect of quasi-biennial variations manifests itself variously in different variables and is nonuniform in altitude. The period of quasi-biennial variations is not constant, and the values of the mean period group mainly around 2 and 2.5 years. As in the North American region, the effects of quasi-biennial variations in different parameters of the stratosphere and troposphere over western Europe are due to a combination of the effects of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in the equatorial stratosphere, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The observed 2.5-year variations in stratospheric ozone are related to the equatorial QBO to a larger extent in comparison with variations in other variables. It seems likely that a determining influence on variations in stratospheric wind and temperature is exerted by the ENSO. Variations in tropospheric and stratospheric parameters with a mean period of about 2 years are due to the ENSO and NAO effects.     

内蒙古准格尔旗树轮年表的建立及其气候意义

通过在内蒙古准格尔旗建立树轮宽度年表、早材宽度年表和晚材宽度年表，并和邻近呼和浩特气象站的资料进行相关分析，结果表明各年表和2—6月的降水量之和呈正相关关系。在准格尔旗西南方向、相距约500km的贺兰山树木生长主要受到5—7月降水量的支配。从这两个区域气象站资料的对比中发现，月降水量、月平均温度的多年平均值在年内表现出非常好的一致性，对应单月月降水量、月平均温度序列显著相关，反映了其受共同的气候驱动因子支配。从两个区域年表对各自气象站气候因子的响应可以看出，树木的生长都主要受到生长季前期和生长季早期降水量的支配。     

Long-term trends in pelagic environments of the east sea ecosystem

Physical and biological environmental variations in the East Sea were investigated by analysing time-series of oceanographic data and meteorological indices. From 1971 to 2000, dominant periodicity in water temperature variations had two apparent periods of 3 to 4 years and of decades, especially in the southwestern part of the East Sea affected by the influence of inflowing Tsushima warm current. Fluctuating water temperature within a certain period appears to respond to El Niño events with a time lag. It was found that there was a strong correlation between water temperature and El Niño events with a time lag of 1.5 and 5.5 years for periods of 3 to 6 years and of decades, respectively. Corresponding with El Niño events, water temperature variability also showed strong correlation with shift and/or changes in biological and chemical environments of nutrient concentrations, zooplankton biomass, and fisheries. However, there also occurred a short-term periodicity of water temperature variations. Within a period of 1 to 4 years, a relatively short-term cycle of water temperature variation had strong correlation with other climate indices such as Pacific Decadal Oscillation and monsoon index. After comparing coherence and phase spectrum between water temperature and different climate indices, we found that there was a shift of coherent periods to another climate index during the years when climate regime shift was reported.

Spatial and temporal seasonal trends in coastal upwelling off Northwest Africa, 1981–2012

Seasonal coastal upwelling was analyzed along the NW African coastline (11–35°N) from 1981 to 2012. Upwelling magnitudes are calculated by wind speed indices, sea-surface temperature indices and inferred from meteorological station, sea-surface height and vertical water column transport data. A permanent annual upwelling regime is documented across 21–35°N and a seasonal regime across 12–19°N, in accordance with the climatology of previous studies. Upwelling regions were split into three zones: (1) the Mauritania–Senegalese upwelling zone (12–19°N), (2) the strong permanent annual upwelling zone (21–26°N) and (3) the weak permanent upwelling zone (26–35°N). We find compelling evidence in our various indices for the Bakun upwelling intensification hypothesis due to a significant coastal summer wind speed increase, resulting in an increase in upwelling-favorable wind speeds north of 20°N and an increase in downwelling-favorable winds south of 20°N. The North Atlantic Oscillation plays a leading role in modifying interannual variability during the other seasons (autumn–spring), with its influence dominating in winter. The East Atlantic pattern shows a strong correlation with upwelling during spring, while El Niño Southern Oscillation and Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation teleconnections were not found. A disagreement between observationally-based wind speed products and reanalysis-derived data is explored. A modification to the Bakun upwelling intensification hypothesis for NW Africa is presented, which accounts for the latitudinal divide in summer wind regimes.     

Decadal modes of sea surface salinity and the water cycle in the tropical Pacific Ocean: The anomalous late 1990s

Limitations in sea surface salinity (SSS) observations and timescale separation methods have led to an incomplete picture of the mechanisms of SSS decadal variability in the tropical Pacific Ocean, where the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dominates. Little is known regarding the roles of the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in the large-scale SSS variability over the tropical basin. A self-organizing map (SOM) clustering analysis is performed on the intrinsic mode function (IMF) maps, which are decomposed from SSS and other hydrological fields by ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), to extract their asymmetric features on decadal timescales over the tropical Pacific. For SSS, an anomalous pattern appeared during 1997 to 2004, a period referred to as the anomalous late 1990s, when strong freshening prevailed in large areas over the southwestern basin and moderate salinization occurred in the western equatorial Pacific. During this period, the precipitation and surface currents were simultaneously subjected to anomalous fluctuations: the precipitation dipole and zonal current divergence along the equator coincided with the SSS increase in the far western equatorial Pacific, while the weak zonal current convergence in the southwestern basin and large-scale southward meridional currents tended to induce SSS decreases there. The dominant decadal modes of SSS and sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific both resemble the NPGO but occur predominantly during the negative and positive NPGO phases, respectively. The similarities between the NPGO and Central Pacific ENSO (CP-ENSO) in their power spectra and associated spatial patterns in the tropics imply their dynamical links; the correspondence between the NPGO-like patterns during negative (positive) phases and the CP La Niña (CP El Niño) patterns for SSS is also discussed.
