近50年我国持续性暴雨的统计分析及其大尺度环流背景

根据1951～2005年中国大陆730个台站的逐日降水资料和持续性暴雨发生的特点, 提出了采用局地持续性暴雨和区域持续性暴雨事件的两种客观定义来描述和统计近50年我国持续性暴雨时空特征及其变化。单站逐日降水量连续三天或三天以上均大于等于50 mm为一次局地持续性暴雨；区域持续性暴雨指在一定区域范围内连续三天降水量总和大于等于100 mm且每天降水量大于等于25 mm的面积超过某一阈值 (详细定义见正文）。根据局地持续性暴雨定义, 指出: 近50年中国局地持续性暴雨事件主要发生在江南和华南地区, 发生季节以6月为最多；根据区域持续性暴雨定义, 统计分析了四类典型的区域持续性暴雨类型, 分别是: 渤海辽西型、北方经向型、南方锋面型和华南低压型。其中南方锋面型又可根据持续性暴雨易发生的地理位置分为江淮型、江南型和华南型三种。对这六类区域持续性暴雨的历史个例进行同比分析, 研究了不同类型持续性暴雨发生的季节性和年际变化,以及它们在大尺度环流背景方面的共性特征。     

基于GIS的四川省区域性暴雨降水分布的空间插值方法与面积估测

暴雨是四川省主要的灾害性天气之一,每年由暴雨引发的次生灾害在全省造成严重的人员伤亡和经济损失。本研究利用四川省5006个气象站逐日降水量资料,采用距离权重反比法(IDW)和普通克里金插值法(Ordinary Kriging)法对2018年8次区域性暴雨过程降水分布进行计算,统计出不同降水等级的面积及面积比例,并对两种插值方法的的计算精度进行了评估。结果表明:(1)在8次区域性降水过程中的距离权重反比法(IDW)和普通克里金插值法(Ordinary Kriging)法的平均相对误差均低于7%,有较高的计算精度;(2)2018年区域性暴雨降水主要分布于盆地西北部、盆地南部和盆地东南部地区,川西高原与攀西地区降水量相对较小;(3)8次区域性暴雨过程中,过程累计降水量>50mm的面积在20247~158144km2,面积比率在4.17%~32.54%。分析发现,暴雨面积能更较好的反映出一场暴雨天气过程的影响范围,同时也可以作为区域暴雨的判别指标。

青藏高原周边地区持续性暴雨特征分析

长江上游的暴雨是造成该区域和长江中下游洪涝的主要因子,研究长江上游的青藏高原周边地区持续性暴雨特征对防灾减灾有着重要意义。应用历史天气图资料、NCEP 1°×1°再分析资料和国家气象信息中心提供的气候整编降水资料,采用统计和天气学方法,分析了1961 2011年青藏高原周边地区持续性暴雨特征。研究表明,青藏高原周边地区局地持续性暴雨通常持续3~4天,持续时间最长的暴雨发生在湖北武汉,为10天。整体上,高原地区较周边地区暴雨发生率相对低,局地持续性暴雨有4个降水高频中心,西藏东南部降水高频中心的波密发生频次最高,为15次;四川西部至中东部暴雨高频区持续性暴雨发生范围最广;另2个高频区为云南南端及湖北中东部地区。青藏高原东侧的西南地区区域持续性暴雨以持续3天为主,7月发生频率最高,21世纪以来,暴雨中心有向东移动的趋势。通常持续性暴雨过程伴随高原低值系统活动,其中西南低涡是最主要的影响系统。     

湖南夏季降水日变化特征

利用湖南96个测站13年的逐时自记降水资料, 分析了夏季（6~8月）降水日变化特征。结果表明, 湖南夏季降水日变化呈现显著的区域差异。湘东南降水量、 降水频次峰值主要出现在午后到傍晚, 而其它地区的降水峰值一般出现在清晨。进一步分析显示, 降水频次峰值出现时次分布更集中, 区域特征更鲜明。湘西北、 湘东南区域平均的累积降水量、 降水频次及降水强度的日变化在清晨和午后均呈双峰型特征。湘西北主（次）峰值出现的时间大致与湘东南次（主）峰值出现的时间对应。同时, 降水日变化与降水持续时间密切相关。持续5~10 h降水事件是持续1~4 h事件与持续10 h以上事件降水量峰值出现时间发生显著变化的过渡降水事件。持续1~4 h（10 h以上）的降水事件的极值降水始发时间为午后至傍晚（夜间）。在不同持续时间的降水事件中, 持续2 h降水的累积量最大。     

1980—2012年5—9月川渝盆地小时强降水特征研究

利用四川和重庆123个气象观测站1980—2012年小时降水资料,分析川渝地区主汛期5—9月小时强降水频次、强度和持续性等时间演变和空间分布特征。结果表明,≥20、≥30和≥50 mm·h-1三种强度阈值强降水时间演变上,1980—2012年年际和日变化具有较好的一致性,三种强降水年平均频次分别为504、184和28次。≥20 mm·h-1 强降水空间分布上,在山地地形动力辐合抬升,以及盆地西部较大的地形梯度作用下,≥20 mm·h-1强降水高频次区主要分布于盆地西北部的龙山山脉、西南部雅安及乐山周围与盆地过渡区。≥20 mm·h-1强降水频次的日峰值空间分布上,盆地南部主要出现在20:00—01:00（北京时,下同）,而盆地中部、北部和东部主要在02:00—07:00。持续不同小时时间尺度的强降水事件日变化上,具有双峰型结构,午后为第一个降水峰值,20:00至第二天07:00为第二个峰值,白天多为短时间（2~6 h）强降水事件,而傍晚开始至第二天清晨,持续2~18 h强降水事件均有发生。不同开始时间强降水事件的强度与频次和降水量具有一致性的日变化特征,呈现单峰型结构,峰值主要发生在18:00—06:00,且不同开始时间事件频次和降水量空间分布上,白天（09:00—20:00）相对于夜间（21:00—08:00）偏小,即夜间强降水事件特征表现明显。     

西南地区东部区域性暴雨事件的客观识别及其变化特征

利用区域性极端事件客观识别方法(OITREE)和1961-2018年西南地区东部118站逐日降水资料对该区域近58年的区域性暴雨事件进行了识别,确定了相应的OITREE方法的参数组,共识别得出246次区域性暴雨事件,其中25次达到极端强度,2004年9月3-6日发生的区域性暴雨事件是西南地区东部近58年来综合强度最强的一次区域性暴雨事件。进一步分析表明:西南地区东部区域性暴雨事件的持续时间主要为2天,最长为5天;事件的累积强度集中在500～1000 mm之间,累积面积集中在10×10~4～20×10~4km~2。西南地区东部区域性暴雨事件多发于5-9月,其中7月最多,占总发生频次的31.7%。四川东部和重庆西部的平原区是暴雨事件的频发和强度中心地区。近58年西南地区东部持续性区域暴雨事件增多[0.57次·(10a)~(-1)],持续时间延长[1.2 d·(10a)~(-1)],最大影响范围扩大[5.7×104km2·(10a)~(-1)],极端强度也增强[73.4 mm·(10a)~(-1)]。     

四川地区短时强降水事件时空演变特征研究

利用四川地区自动气象站逐小时降水观测资料,分析了2010~2019年5~9月短时强降水事件24h累计降水量、频次和强度的时空分布特征,探讨了短时强降水事件发生的频次、极值分布及其与地形、海拔高度等的关系。结果表明:四川地区平均24h累计降雨量基本在50mm以上,盆地东北部、西南部、南部及阿坝州东部甚至超过100mm,最大值出现在广安,达175mm。四川地区短时强降水事件开始时间的日变化特征表现为“V”型结构的夜间峰值位相,事件持续时段多为傍晚至凌晨,时长可达10h以上,最长甚至可持续22h。在强降水事件极值的日变化上,极大值频次和降水量呈单峰结构,在03时达到最大,其后逐渐减小至15时达到谷值,而后再次增大;降水强度呈弱双峰结构,分别在04时和16时达到谷值,13时和18时达到峰值,其日变化呈“增-减-增-减”的特征。四川短时强降水事件与复杂地形有密切的关系,5~6月事件活跃区在四川盆地中部,7月在盆地西部的龙门山脉一带,8月在雅安、乐山附近,9月在盆地北部且频次明显减少;短时强降水事件的最大小时雨强可达80mm以上,出现在7~8月的盆地西部龙门山一带和南部地区。短时强降水事件随着海拔高度的增加,发生频次和日数逐渐减少,海拔2000m以上地区基本无强降水发生日出现( 峨眉山气象站例外)。      

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.     

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

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.     

Connections between the Eurasian teleconnection and concurrent variation of upper-level jets over East Asia

The variation of the East Asian jet stream(EAJS) associated with the Eurasian(EU) teleconnection pattern is investigated using 60-yr NCEP–NCAR daily reanalysis data over the period 1951–2010. The EAJS consists of three components: the polar front jet(PFJ); the plateau subtropical jet(PSJ); and the ocean subtropical jet(OSJ). Of these three jets over East Asia,the EU pattern exhibits a significant influence on the PFJ and OSJ. There is a simultaneous negative correlation between the EU pattern and the PFJ. A significant positive correlation is found between the EU pattern and the OSJ when the EU pattern leads the OSJ by about 5 days. There is no obvious correlation between the EU pattern and the PSJ. The positive EU phase is accompanied by a weakened and poleward-shifted PFJ, which coincides with an intensified OSJ. A possible mechanism for the variation of the EAJS during different EU phases is explored via analyzing the effects of 10-day high-and low-frequency eddy forcing. The zonal wind tendency due to high-frequency eddy forcing contributes to the simultaneous negative correlation between the EU pattern and the PFJ, as well as the northward/southward shift of the PFJ. High- and low-frequency eddy forcing are both responsible for the positive correlation between the EU pattern and the OSJ, but only high-frequency eddy forcing contributes to the lagged variation of the OSJ relative to the EU pattern. The negative correlation between the EU pattern and winter temperature and precipitation anomalies in China is maintained only when the PFJ and OSJ are out of phase with each other. Thus, the EAJS plays an important role in transmitting the EU signal to winter temperature and precipitation anomalies in China.     

<p>PARTITION OF SEASON BASED ON MULTIELEMENTS AND THE DECADAL CHANGE OF SEASON DURATION IN CHINA</p>

<p>Using the multielements similarity measurement method and 1950–C2017 NCEP/NCAR gridded daily reanalysis datasets, we analyzed season duration in China during 1950–C2016, and we defined the element with maximum absolute sensitivity as the key impact element at each point using the sensitivity analysis method. The decadal change of season duration and its key impact element before and after 1980 were studied. The results indicated obvious meridional and zonal differences in the distribution of season duration for the 67-year average, and that the key impact element has the same distribution characteristics as season duration. In addition, complementary relationships were found between the durations of spring and summer, autumn and winter, and the cold and warm seasons. Of those, the complementary relationship between the durations of spring and summer was strongest and the regions of complementarity were numerous. The complementary regions of autumn and winter durations were found mainly in western China. In the cold and warm seasons, the complementary regions were widespread and the complementary relationship was generally weak. Comparison of the periods before and after 1980 revealed an east–Cwest difference in the interdecadal variation of season duration. Interdecadal variation in spring and summer was found concentrated in northern and western regions, while that in autumn and winter was concentrated in the western region. Areas of significant interdecadal variation of the key elements were found concentrated in northern and western regions, corresponding well with the areas of significant interdecadal variation of season duration.</p>     

THE INFLUENCES OF SSTA OVER KUROSHIO AND ITS EXTENSION ON RAINFALL IN NORTHEAST CHINA UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF TWO DIFFERENT EL NIO CASES

By using the gauged rainfall in 160 stations within mainland China and the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, the impacts of anomalous SST in Kuroshio and its extension on precipitation in Northeast China were investigated. The results show that a difference in the meridional circulation such as the East Asia/Pacific teleconnection pattern(EAP)may be responsible for the difference in rainfall between 1998 and 2010. In comparison with 1998, the anomalous meridional circulation pattern in 2010 shifted northeastward, and then the western subtropical high, the mid-latitudinal trough and the northeastern Asia blocking high also shifted northeastward, causing intensified convergence of the cold and warm air masses at the southern region and thus more rainfall in the southwestern region and less in the northwestern region. In 1998, the anomalous cyclone, one component of the meridional pattern, located at the Songhuajiang-Nengjiang River basin, resulted in more rainfall in the majority of the area. The results of observation and the model show that the difference in SSTA in Kuroshio and its extension under the background of different El Ni觡o events is the key point:(1) The anomalous warmth moved westward from the mid-Pacific to the east of the Philippine Sea during the central event, which led the heat resources shifting to the northeast in 2010; subsequently, a shift occurred to the north of the anomalous ascent and decent, followed by a warm SSTA in the region of Kuroshio's extension in 2010 and Kuroshio in 1998.(2) The warm SSTA in the Kuroshio extension causing the Rossby wave activity flux strengthened in 2010, and then the westerly jet shifted northward and extended eastward. A warm SSTA in Kuroshio and cold SSTA in its extension in 1998 caused the westerly jet to shift southward and weaken. As a result,the anomalous anticyclone and cyclone shifted northward in 2010, and the blocking high also shifted northward.     

Land-use and sustainability under intersecting global change and domestic policy scenarios: Trajectories for Australia to 2050

Understanding potential future influence of environmental, economic, and social drivers on land-use and sustainability is critical for guiding strategic decisions that can help nations adapt to change, anticipate opportunities, and cope with surprises. Using the Land-Use Trade-Offs (LUTO) model, we undertook a comprehensive, detailed, integrated, and quantitative scenario analysis of land-use and sustainability for Australia’s agricultural land from 2013–2050, under interacting global change and domestic policies, and considering key uncertainties. We assessed land use competition between multiple land-uses and assessed the sustainability of economic returns and ecosystem services at high spatial (1.1 km grid cells) and temporal (annual) resolution. We found substantial potential for land-use transition from agriculture to carbon plantings, environmental plantings, and biofuels cropping under certain scenarios, with impacts on the sustainability of economic returns and ecosystem services including food/fibre production, emissions abatement, water resource use, biodiversity services, and energy production. However, the type, magnitude, timing, and location of land-use responses and their impacts were highly dependent on scenario parameter assumptions including global outlook and emissions abatement effort, domestic land-use policy settings, land-use change adoption behaviour, productivity growth, and capacity constraints. With strong global abatement incentives complemented by biodiversity-focussed domestic land-use policy, land-use responses can substantially increase and diversify economic returns to land and produce a much wider range of ecosystem services such as emissions abatement, biodiversity, and energy, without major impacts on agricultural production. However, better governance is needed for managing potentially significant water resource impacts. The results have wide-ranging implications for land-use and sustainability policy and governance at global and domestic scales and can inform strategic thinking and decision-making about land-use and sustainability in Australia. A comprehensive and freely available 26 GB data pack (http://doi.org/10.4225/08/5604A2E8A00CC) provides a unique resource for further research. As similarly nuanced transformational change is also possible elsewhere, our template for comprehensive, integrated, quantitative, and high resolution scenario analysis can support other nations in strategic thinking and decision-making to prepare for an uncertain future.

Characterization and source apportionment of volatile organic compounds in urban and suburban Tianjin,China

Tianjin is the third largest megacity and the fastest growth area in China, and consequently faces the problems of surface ozone and haze episodes. This study measures and characterizes volatile organic compounds(VOCs), which are ozone precursors, to identify their possible sources and evaluate their contribution to ozone formation in urban and suburban Tianjin,China during the Ha Chi(Haze in China) summer campaign in 2009. A total of 107 species of ambient VOCs were detected,and the average concentrations of VOCs at urban and suburban sites were 92 and 174 ppbv, respectively. Of those, 51 species of VOCs were extracted to analyze the possible VOC sources using positive matrix factorization. The identified sources of VOCs were significantly related to vehicular activities, which specifically contributed 60% to urban and 42% to suburban VOCs loadings in Tianjin. Industrial emission was the second most prominent source of ambient VOCs in both urban and suburban areas, although the contribution of industry in the suburban area(36%) was much higher than that at the urban area(16%). We conclude that controlling vehicle emissions should be a top priority for VOC reduction, and that fast industrialization and urbanization causes air pollution to be more complex due to the combined emission of VOCs from industry and daily life, especially in suburban areas.
