泰安市灰霾天气的气候特征分析

利用泰安市1971—2009年观测资料,对泰安市灰霾天气的气候特征进行了分析,发现：泰安市灰霾天气具有明显的季节性特征,灰霾天气主要发生在冬半年,秋冬两季占全年灰霾日数的80.7%;灰霾日数1月最多,7,8月无灰霾日;20世纪80年代末期到90年代中期灰霾天气出现较多;20世纪70年代初到90年代末,泰安市灰霾日数与日照时数、降水量呈反相关关系,灰霾天气多,则日照时数少,降水日数多,则灰霾天气少;低云量与灰霾日数呈正相关关系。进入21世纪,灰霾日数的减少更多是因为环境整治的效果。     

佳县红枣可采成熟期连阴雨特征分析及对红枣裂果的影响

利用佳县气象站2006—2015年地面气象站观测资料和红枣生态观测资料,对红枣可采成熟期(9月1日—10月10日)出现的连阴雨天气过程的次数、降水量、降水日数进行统计分析,结合红枣生态观测资料进行降雨与红枣裂果的对比分析。结果显示,2006年以来佳县秋季连阴雨天气呈增加趋势,是造成红枣裂变霉烂的主要因子。连阴雨出现次数越多、持续时间越长、出现的越晚,红枣裂变率也越高;连阴雨天气过程降水量越大而且越均匀,红枣裂果率越大;降水日数多,日照寡、空气湿度大,也容易形成枣果裂变;大雾天气与连阴雨相伴也会增加红枣裂果率。9月上旬白熟期,连阴雨对枣果裂变影响程度相对较小;9月中、下旬脆熟期和10月上旬完熟期,连阴雨对枣果裂变影响严重,容易造成红枣裂变、霉烂。应对和减轻连阴雨天气对红枣的影响将是红枣生产的关键。     

西南地区东部大官山山地降水梯度变化特征分析

基于2019年1月~2020年12月西南地区东部大官山降水观测数据,分析了降水随海拔高度的变化特征。结果表明:2019~2020年,大官山降水量总体随海拔升高而增大,多年平均梯度变化率为1.32%/100 m,最大降水高度在海拔1900 m左右。各季降水梯度变化率中,夏、秋季高,冬、春季低,夏季为3.31 mm/100 m,秋季为1.39 mm/100 m,冬季为0.50 mm/100 m,春季为0.67 mm/100 m。各月降水梯度变化率中,7月最高,达5.06 mm/100 m,1月和11月最低,分别为0.23 mm/100 m和0.29 mm/100 m。降水日数和小雨日数随高度的线性变化趋势较明显,平均上升率分别为2.86 d/100 m和2.56 d/100 m。大雨日数在海拔1900 m左右最大,暴雨日数在海拔2500 m左右最大。降水日变化表现出多峰值特征,降水量和降水强度均在06~09时达到最大,降水频率也随海拔高度升高而增大,其中,高海拔降水频率在15时左右达到最大。降水随海拔高度的变化与天气过程密切相关,持续阴雨天气过程降水量的梯度变化较为平缓,暴雨天气过程降水量随海拔的升高而升高,局地阵雨中单次过程降水量与海拔高度相关性不明显。      

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     

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.     

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.
