IPCC第五次评估报告反映的大气和地表的观测变化

<正>对气候变化事实的观测是气候变化科学研究的基础,也是IPCC第五次评估报告(AR5)~①的核心内容之一。AR5~([1])明确指出,自1750年以来,人类活动使得大气中二氧化碳、甲烷和氧化亚氮等温室气体的浓度增加。最近连续的3个10年比1850年以来其他的任何一个10年都要暖。对于地面观测资料覆盖较全的最长观测时期(1901一2012年),全球几乎所有地区都经历了地表增暖,同时,北半球中纬度陆地区域平均降水量已增加。1950年以来,全     

江西省冬季气温变化及农业生产的对策分析

近百年来,人类活动产生的温室气体的排放正在使大气中的温室气体浓度显著增加.这些温室气体包括二氧化碳、甲烷、氯氟烃和一氧化二氮等,这将使温室效应增加,平均来说,会使地表更加变暖.中国作为全球环境的一个地区,气候变化趋势与全球相似,尤以北方地区冬季变暖明显.那么,江西气候变化趋势如何?冬季气温是升还是降?对农业生产将产生什么影响呢?这一问题已为各有关部门重视.为此,揭示我省冬季气温变化的本质,将为我省     

二氧化碳不断增加致使南极部分地区降温

<正>由于大气中的二氧化碳浓度不断增加,世界上绝大部分地区正在变暖。可是,近些年来南极洲中部的温度却稍微有所下降。二氧化碳这样的温室气体通常会捕获从地球表面辐射回太空的热量,但是总的来说,在一年中的大部分时间里,南极东部冰盖的大片区域实际比上层大气的温度还要低--在全球只有该地区出现了这种情况。研究人员在线报道:研究小组在一年时间里通过所有红外波长观测了辐射的总体平衡状况,包括从冰盖表面向上的辐射和上层大气的上下双向辐射,结果出乎意料的是,如果大气中含有温室气体,事     

附件一国家温窒气体排放趋势及其履约进展

对<联合国气候变化框架公约>秘书处最新公布的温室气体排放数据进行统计分析,结果显示:相对于基准年(1990年),附件-国家温室气体排放总量整体呈下降趋势.其中,经济转型期国家温室气体排放总量总体上呈逐年下降趋势,非经济转型期国家的温室气体排放总量有逐年增长的趋势.美国和加拿大能源部门的温室气体排放量增长最为显著,相对于1990年,2005年其增幅分别为19.2%和28.6%;英国和德国能源部门温室气体减排量最为显著,其减幅分别为7.8%和17.4%.在2005年,有超过一半的附件-国家的实际排放量低于其目标排放量,履约进展状况良好.     

不同温室气体排放情景下中国21世纪地面气温和降水变化的模拟分析

利用HadCM2模式的模拟结果,比较了温室气体排放综合效果相当于CO2浓度逐年递增1%和0.5%两种不同情景下,中国区域21世纪地面气温和降水量的变化趋势.结果表明,随着温室气体浓度的持续增加,中国地面气温也持续升高.到21世纪末期,地面气温在上述两种排放情景下可分别升高约5℃和3℃.两种排放情景的增温趋势对比表明:即使从1990年开始温室气体等效排放逐年递增率减少一半,增温仍然很明显;直到21世纪中期,才能显示出减少温室气体排放量对减缓增温趋势的效果.降水量的年际变化较大,但随着温室气体浓度的持续增加,降水量总的趋势也是增加的.减排温室气体对降水量变化趋势的影响与地面气温相似.此外,地面气温增量和降水量变化百分率均显示出明显的季节变化,地面气温增量在秋、冬季较大而在春、夏季较小,降水变化百分率在夏、秋季较小而在冬、春季较大.     

中国气象局温室气体在线观测项目工作进展

2008年7月,中国气象局确定了今后一个时期应对气候变化的六大重点任务.加强温室气体在线监测分析能力建设,为气候变化的科学研究、节能减排等提供有力科技支撑就是其中一项重要工作.温室气体在线观测项目(一期)建设包括在我国4个大气本底站(青海瓦里关、北京上甸子、浙汀临安、黑龙江龙凤山)建成2种主要温室气体(二氧化碳和甲烷)在线观测系统,2008年底之前卜传观测资料,为了解各站所在地温室气体本底浓度变化及地区间差异,进一步分析评估不同地区之间的相互影响、测算排放源和吸收汇的动态变化奠定基础,为我国应对气候变化的内政、外交提供科技支撑.     

全球植物叶片排放甲烷不到甲烷总排放量的1%

<正>NCAR大气化学部的一项研究发现,植物叶片暴露在阳光下时排放的甲烷量远少于以前的研究所认为的值,植物叶片排放的甲烷不到地球甲烷总排放量的1%。该发现对于农林业生产对气候变化的影响研究具有重要意义。甲烷是一种重要的温室气体,在阻拦大气热量方面所起的作用比二氧化碳强23倍。植物是炭汇,将二氧化碳储存于叶片、树皮与树干之中。植物这种蓄碳能力远远超过其产生的少量甲烷所起的作用。

A coupled model study on the intensification of the Asian summer monsoon in IPCC SRES Scenarios

The Asian summer monsoon is an important part of the climate system. Investigating the response of the Asian summer monsoon to changing concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols will be meaningful to understand and predict climate variability and climate change not only in Asia but also globally. In order to diagnose the impacts of future anthropogenic emissions on monsoon climates, a coupled general circulation model of the atmosphere and the ocean has been used at the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology. In addition to carbon dioxide, the major well mixed greenhouse gases such as methane, nitrous oxide, several chlorofluorocarbons, and CFC substitute gases are prescribed as a function of time. The sulfur cycle is simulated interactively, and both the direct aerosol effect and the indirect cloud albedo effect are considered. Furthermore, changes in tropospheric ozone have been pre-calculated with a chemical transport model and prescribed as a function of time and space in the climate simulations. Concentrations of greenhouse gases and anthropogenic emissions of sulfur dioxide are prescribed according to observations （1860-1990） and projected into the future （1990-2100） according to the Scenarios A2 and B2 in Special Report on Emissions Scenarios （SRES, Nakcenovic et al., 2000） developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）. It is found that the Indian summer monsoon is enhanced in the scenarios in terms of both mean precipitation and interannual variability. An increase in precipitation is simulated for northern China but a decrease for the southern part. Furthermore, the simulated future increase in monsoon variability seems to be linked to enhanced ENSO variability towards the end of the scenario integrations.     

Emissions from Russian domestic civil aviation in 2000–2012 and integrated assessment of their impact on the climate system

Emissions from Russian domestic civil aviation for the period of 2000–2012 are assessed for the following gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide. The integrated assessment of their impact on the climate system is performed using the values of the global warming potential. The CO₂ equivalent was used as a common measure of emissions. It is established that the modern impact of Russian civil aviation on the Earth climate is insignificant.     

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Hydroelectric Reservoirs in Tropical Regions

This paper discusses emissions by power-dams in the tropics. Greenhouse gas emissions from tropical power-dams are produced underwater through biomass decomposition by bacteria. The gases produced in these dams are mainly nitrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. A methodology was established for measuring greenhouse gases emitted by various power-dams in Brazil. Experimental measurements of gas emissions by dams were made to determine accurately their emissions of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) gases through bubbles formed on the lake bottom by decomposing organic matter, as well as rising up the lake gradient by molecular diffusion.The main source of gas in power-dams reservoirs is the bacterial decomposition (aerobic and anaerobic) of autochthonous and allochthonous organic matter that basically produces CO₂ and CH₄. The types and modes of gas production and release in the tropics are reviewed.

Carbon Sequestration in Arable Soils is Likely to Increase Nitrous Oxide Emissions,Offsetting Reductions in Climate Radiative Forcing

Strategies for mitigating the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere include sequestering carbon (C) in soils and vegetation of terrestrial ecosystems. Carbon and nitrogen (N) move through terrestrial ecosystems in coupled biogeochemical cycles, and increasing C stocks in soils and vegetation will have an impact on the N cycle. We conducted simulations with a biogeochemical model to evaluate the impact of different cropland management strategies on the coupled cycles of C and N, with special emphasis on C-sequestration and emission of the greenhouse gases methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O). Reduced tillage, enhanced crop residue incorporation, and farmyard manure application each increased soil C-sequestration, increased N₂O emissions, and had little effect on CH₄ uptake. Over 20 years, increases in N₂O emissions, which were converted into CO₂-equivalent emissions with 100-year global warming potential multipliers, offset 75–310% of the carbon sequestered, depending on the scenario. Quantification of these types of biogeochemical interactions must be incorporated into assessment frameworks and trading mechanisms to accurately evaluate the value of agricultural systems in strategies for climate protection.     

Developed and developing world contributions to climate system change based on carbon dioxide,methane and nitrous oxide emissions

One of the key issues in international climate negotiations is the formulation of targets for emissions reduction for all countries based on the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities". This formulation depends primarily on the quantitative attribution of the responsibilities of developed and developing countries for historical climate change. Using the Commuity Earth System Model(CESM), we estimate the responsibilities of developed countries and developing countries for climatic change from 1850 to 2005 using their carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions. The results indicate that developed countries contribute approximately 53%–61%, and developing countries approximately 39%–47%, to the increase in global air temperature, upper oceanic warming, sea-ice reduction in the NH, and permafrost degradation. In addition, the spatial heterogeneity of these changes from 1850 to 2005 is primarily attributed to the emissions of greenhouse gases(GHGs)in developed countries. Although uncertainties remain in the climate model and the external forcings used, GHG emissions in developed countries are the major contributor to the observed climate system changes in the 20 th century.     

The geography of urban greenhouse gas emissions in Asia: A regional analysis

This paper aims to advance two objectives: (1) identify and explore greenhouse gas emissions from urban areas in Asia at the regional level; and (2) explore covariates of urban greenhouse gas emissions. We use the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research estimates for carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and sulfur hexafluoride from 14 source activities for the year 2000, which are allocated on a 1/10° global grid. We extract emissions for 3535 urban extents all with populations over 50,000, accounting for approximately 91% of the region's urban population. We use regression analysis to associate emissions with urban area and growth, economic, and biophysical characteristics. Our findings suggest that urban areas account for between 30 and 38% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions for the region and that emission per capita averages from urban areas are lower than those at the national level. Important covariates for total urban greenhouse gas emissions include population size, density and growth rate, income per capita, development status and elevation. This is a first and preliminary assessment of regional baseline trends using these data and this top-down analysis.     

Emissions, Concentrations, & Temperature: A Time Series Analysis

We use recent advances in time series econometrics to estimate the relation among emissions of CO₂ and CH₄, the concentration of these gases, and global surface temperature. These models are estimated and specified to answer two questions; (1) does human activity affect global surface temperature and; (2) does global surface temperature affect the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and/or methane. Regression results provide direct evidence for a statistically meaningful relation between radiative forcing and global surface temperature. A simple model based on these results indicates that greenhouse gases and anthropogenic sulfur emissions are largely responsible for the change in temperature over the last 130 years. The regression results also indicate that increases in surface temperature since 1870 have changed the flow of carbon dioxide to and from the atmosphere in a way that increases its atmospheric concentration. Finally, the regression results for methane hint that higher temperatures may increase its atmospheric concentration, but this effect is not estimated precisely.     

中国城市固体废弃物甲烷排放研究

The greenhouse effect of methane (CH4) is only inferior to that of carbon dioxide (CO2). As an important anthropogenic emission source, the calculation of the emission amount of CH4 from waste treatment in landfills plays an important role in compiling greenhouse gases inventory and in estimating the climate change effects caused by increasing of greenhouse gases. Based on the previous work, and according to the sampling and analysis on municipal solid waste (MSW) in typical cities, the degradable organic carbon (DOC) percentile was identified in typical cities in recent years. According to the IPCC greenhouse gases inventory guideline and default method of CH4 emission from MSW landfills, and in light of MSW managing situation in different regions, the amount of CH4 emission was calculated. The results show that the amount of CH4 emission decreases geographically from east to west and it increases temporally from 1994 to 2004 in China.     

江汉平原不同稻作模式下温室气体排放特征

采用静态箱-气相色谱法在江汉平原开展早稻、晚稻、中稻、虾稻和再生稻5种稻作类型温室气体排放监测试验,研究不同稻作模式下稻田CH₄和N₂O排放特征、总增温潜势及温室气体排放强度,为准确评估稻田生态系统温室气体排放提供参考依据。结果表明:CH₄排放集中在水稻前期淹水阶段,排放峰值最高为虾稻（85.7 mg·m-2·h-1）,较其他稻作模式高71.7%~191.5%。N₂O排放峰值主要出现于中期晒田和施肥阶段,排放峰值最高为再生稻（1100.7 μg·m-2·h-1）,较其他稻作模式高16.8%~654.9%。CH₄累积排放量从大到小依次为虾稻、再生稻、早稻、晚稻、中稻;N₂O累积排放量从大到小依次为再生稻、早稻、晚稻、中稻、虾稻;总增温潜势从大到小依次为虾稻、再生稻、早稻、晚稻、中稻;温室气体排放强度从大到小依次为虾稻、早稻、再生稻、晚稻、中稻。CH₄排放占比为82.9%~99.0%,稻虾田高排放主要原因为持续淹水时间长、秸秆还田和饲料投入,探究该模式CH₄减排举措最为关键;中稻由于水旱轮作,稻田温室气体排放最低,可作为低碳减排的主要稻作类型。
