近50 a来中国不同流域降水的变化趋势分析

利用我国612个气象站1961—2010年逐日降水量资料,借助地理信息系统Arc GIS,分析了我国十大流域的年、季节降水量的时空变化趋势特征。结果表明,我国降水主要集中在珠江、东南诸河和长江流域,西北诸河流域降水最少;四季降水量与年降水量的空间分布特征高度相似;降水量均为夏季最多,冬季最少。就年降水量而言,西北诸河流域有变湿趋势,海河流域和黄河流域有变干趋势。就降水季节而言,西南诸河、松花江、西北诸河流域春季有变湿趋势;东南诸河流域和长江流域夏季有变湿趋势,海河流域和西南诸河流域夏季有变干趋势;西北诸河流域秋季有变湿趋势,长江流域、黄河流域和淮河流域秋季有变干趋势;松花江流域、西北诸河流域和长江流域冬季有变湿趋势。     

基于SPEI的中国干湿变化趋势归因分析

选用1960—2012年中国气象站点资料,利用标准化降水蒸散指数SPEI(Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index),研究了中国干湿变化趋势及其原因。过去52 a,中国干湿变化由西北向东南呈现"+-+"的空间分布状况,其中黄河流域、长江流域西部、西南流域东南及珠江流域西部显著变干;淮河流域中西部和西北流域大部显著变湿;通过数值试验,定量计算了参考蒸散发及降水对干湿趋势的贡献状况。就中国总体而言,年平均参考蒸散发显著减少抵消了由年降水量减少导致的干化趋势,呈微弱变湿趋势;其次,降水仍然是多数区域干湿变化的主导因素(黄河流域中部、长江流域、西南流域、珠江流域及东南流域);同时,参考蒸散的影响值得引起注意,其在辽河流域、海河流域、淮河流域及西北流域对干湿趋势的贡献均超过降水贡献。     

基于综合气象干旱指数的中国干旱变化趋势研究

基于中国606个地面台站1951～2008年的逐日降水量和气温资料,采用综合气象干旱指数CI统计分析了中国全国及十大江河流域近60年的干旱变化趋势。结果表明,近60年来,从整体来看,中国干旱面积呈现出弱的增加趋势。干旱持续时间长的几个中心分别位于北方的辽河流域西部、黄河流域东部、海河流域、西南诸河流域东南部等地,最长持续时间可达4个月以上;北方江河流域干旱面积一般表现出增加趋势,其中松花江流域、辽河流域、海河流域干旱面积出现显著的增加趋势,辽河流域、海河流域、黄河流域在20世纪90年代中后期至21世纪前期连续数年出现大范围干旱,南方大多数江河流域干旱面积的变化趋势不明显,只有西南诸河流域有显著的减少趋势。     

2011年7月七大江河流域气候特点及降水异常成因分析

利用国家气候中心723站降水和气温资料、JRA-25和NCEP/NCAR I再分析资料数据集、NOAA气候预测中心海温资料等,采用线性趋势、动力诊断、相关分析、小波分析等方法,开展2011年7月我国七大江河流域气候特点及其变化特征研究,揭示长江流域主汛期降水异常的可能机理。结果表明：2011年7月七大江河流域降水量总体偏少,长江流域降水属异常偏少;流域气温持续气候变暖特征,以松嫩流域异常偏暖最为显著。降水变化线性趋势显示：珠江流域和长江流域为线性增加型;淮河流域为基本不变型;辽河流域、海河流域、黄河流域和松嫩流域为线性减少型。但降水具有显著年际变化外,长江流域、淮河流域、海河流域、黄河流域等具有显著年代际变化周期。2011年7月长江流域降水异常偏少的主要原因：大气对赤道中东太平洋外强迫的响应持续着La Nina的形态;副热带高压异常活动与东亚南风环流强度指数偏弱;长江流域整层水汽收支显著亏损,降水效率低。     

气候变化背景下中国陆地水循环时空演变

水循环是气候系统各子系统相互作用过程中一个最活跃的枢纽,受气候变化影响显著。本文采用观测和多套再分析数据,系统分析了1979年以来中国及各大流域大气水汽含量、降水、蒸散发和地表径流等水循环要素年际变化。研究发现,1979-2018年,中国陆地整层大气水汽含量和水汽收支呈显著上升趋势;水汽收支除在松花江和西南诸河略有下降,其余流域均呈上升趋势;降水除西北诸河流域呈现显著上升趋势外,其余流域变化不显著;蒸散发整体呈微弱增加,但南方大部流域呈现显著的减小趋势;除西北诸河径流显著上升趋势外,北方大部分流域地表径流呈现减少趋势,而南方流域的径流变化趋势复杂多样。相对1979-2000年,21世纪以来中国年平均气温上升约0.63℃,年降水量、大气水汽含量分别增加0.5%和1.2%,水汽总输入和输出量均减小,降水再循环率增加10.9%。进入21世纪,中国陆地水资源一级分区内循环均较前20 a活跃,降水再循环率除松花江和辽河流域外,均有所增加。其中,海河、黄河、淮河和西北诸河流域的水汽和蒸发形成的降水都有所增加;辽河流域蒸发形成的降水有所增加,但输入水汽减少导致流域降水减少最多;松花江、长江、珠江和西南诸河流域蒸发形成的降水增加,输入水汽减少导致降水略有减少;东南诸河蒸发形成的降水略有增加,但整体变化不大。     

作物生长对流域水文过程与区域气候的影响

利用区域气候模式RegCM3以及考虑作物生长过程的耦合模式RegCM3_CERES对东亚区域进行20年模拟,研究作物生长对流域水文过程与区域气候的影响。结果表明：考虑作物生长过程的耦合模式模拟海河流域、松花江流域、珠江流域多年平均降水效果明显改进,在除黑河流域外的各流域模拟的温度负偏差有所减小,其中在海河流域、淮河流域的夏季改进尤为明显。各流域夏季（6、7、8月）月蒸散量最高,其中长江流域、海河流域、淮河流域、珠江流域的夏季月蒸散量基本上在100 mm左右,并且七大流域蒸散发的季节变化趋势跟总降水基本一致。多数流域考虑作物生长过程的耦合模式模拟得出蒸散发减少且进入的水汽增加,导致局地水循环率减小;黑河流域与黄河流域降水有所增加,其他流域均有不同程度的减小。针对长江流域,比较耦合模式RegCM3_CERES与模式RegCM3模拟结果显示,叶面积指数减少1.20 m²/m²,根区土壤湿度增加0.01 m³/m³,进而导致潜热通量下降1.34 W/m²（其中在四川盆地地区减少16.00 W/m²左右）,感热通量增加2.04 W/m²,从而影响到降水和气温。     

近60年来中国主要流域极端降水演变特征

在全球增暖背景下,中国极端降水事件及洪涝、干旱等次生灾害近年来频发,严重影响生态系统、人民的生产生活和社会经济发展。本文基于气候变化检测和指数专家组（ETCCDI）定义的10个降水指数,利用中国台站日降水资料,系统分析了1961～2017年中国及九大流域片降水变化情况,并利用空间场显著性检验考察不同降水指数的显著变化是否与外强迫作用有关。结果表明,各降水指数的变化具有区域性特征。整体而言,全国范围内平均降水、降水强度、极端强降水和连续性强降水呈增强趋势的台站数多于呈减弱趋势的台站数,呈显著增强趋势的台站占比不可能仅由气候系统内部变率引起,还受到外强迫的影响。此外,中国大部分站点连续干旱日数（CDD）减少,观测中CDD呈显著减弱趋势的台站占比也与外强迫作用有关。九大流域片中,内陆河片能够观测到平均降水、降水强度、极端强降水和连续性强降水的增多以及连续干旱日数的减少,有洪涝灾害增多的风险,且上述变化可归因为外强迫的作用。长江流域片、东南诸河片和珠海流域片平均降水、极端强降水和连续性强降水均增强,其中强降水的变化与外强迫作用有关。西南诸河片极端强降水增强,但大部分站点CDD呈增加趋势,有干旱增加的风险。黄河流域片、海河流域片、淮河流域片及松辽河流域片的大部分站点及区域平均结果中,降水指数多无显著变化趋势。增暖背景下,不同流域片呈现出不同的降水变化特征,将面临不同的气候灾害风险。     

黄淮海地区春花生旱涝灾害危险性评价

利用1960—2019年黄淮海地区186个气象站逐日气象数据,结合春花生发育期数据,采用标准化降水作物需水指数将旱涝灾害分为7个等级,分析春花生旱涝灾害的时空分布特征;并以旱涝灾害发生的强度和频率构建春花生旱涝灾害危险性指数,开展黄淮海地区春花生旱涝灾害危险性评价。结果表明:黄河流域西北部和中部、淮河流域东北部以及海河流域北部是干旱灾害高发区;涝害高发区主要集中在黄河流域的大部分地区、淮河流域北部和南部地区以及海河流域东部,以中度涝害为主。春花生干旱灾害高危险性地区零散分布,主要集中在黄河流域西北部;而涝害中、高危险性地区多分布于黄河流域。     

多区域气候模式集合对中国径流深的模拟评估和未来变化预估

对5组区域气候模式集合模拟的中国径流深进行评估,并且预估了温室气体高排放情景RCP8.5下的未来变化。结果表明：多区域气候模式集合结果能够基本模拟出径流深的观测特征,对年径流深的空间分布特征模拟较好,但量值存在一定的系统偏差,特别是黄河中游、海河和松辽河存在明显的正偏差,且对全国9个流域片中东南、西南和西北诸河的年内分配总体模拟效果相对较差。未来到21世纪末,全国平均年径流深在各个时段都以增加为主,增加幅度多在5%以内。未来变化存在明显的空间差异,大致表现为“北增南减”的分布特征,但不会改变中国水资源南多北少的空间格局;其中,黄河、西南和西北诸河流域片呈显著的增加趋势,淮河、长江和东南诸河流域片呈现显著的减少趋势,海河、松辽和珠江流域的变化趋势不显著。21世纪末期各地的变化多在±30%以内,且多模式预估的正负变化一致性较高。到21世纪末期,各流域片平均的径流深季节分配总体特征没有明显变化,径流深的最大月份基本维持不变,分配比例的数值有±2%以内的变化,且各季节的增减变化存在明显流域间差异。     

中国西北干旱、半干旱区春季地气温差的年代际变化特征及其对华北夏季降水年代际变化的影响

利用我国1951~2000年夏季降水观测资料分析了我国夏季降水的年代际变化特征,表明了我国夏季降水在1976年前后发生了一次明显的气候跃变,在1976年之后华北地区和黄河流域夏季降水明显减少,出现了严重持续干旱,而西北地区从20世纪70年代后期开始,降水增多,且西北地区降水振荡位相要超前于华北地区降水振荡位相5~8年。并且,本文从1960~2000年我国西北干旱、半干旱区的地温、气温观测资料分析了我国西北干旱、半干旱地区的地气温差(Ts-Ta)的变化特征,其结果表明了在20世纪70年代后期以前,我国西北干旱、半干旱地区的地气温差大部分年份偏低,低于平均值,而从70年代后期之后到2000年,我国西北干旱、半干旱地区的地气温差偏高。此外,本文还分析了西北干旱区地气温差变化的最大地区新疆西部春季地气温差与我国夏季降水的相关关系,其正相关区分别位于西北地区、东北地区和长江流域,而负相关区分别位于华北地区东部和西南地区,这表明我国西北干旱、半干旱区春季地气温差可能是华北地区夏季降水年代际变化的原因之一。     

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.     

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.     

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
