从小时尺度考察中国中东部极端降水的持续性和季节特征

相对于日降水量,小时尺度降水资料可以更准确地反映降水强度并描述降水过程,因而更适用于极端降水阈值确定及其特性研究.利用广义极值分布估计中国321个站最大小时降水量的分布函数,确定了5a重现期的小时降水强度阈值.阈值的空间分布呈现出明显的地域差异,西北地区阈值偏低,华北地区、长江中下游地区、华南沿海地区和四川盆地西部地区为高阈值中心.取各站5a一遇极端降水事件对其持续性特征和季节特征进行分析,发现在沿海地区、长江流域和青藏高原东坡极端降水事件的平均持续时间较长(超过12h);中国北部地区持续时间较短.在具有较大海拔落差的复杂地形区,极端降水事件较平原地区更快地发展到峰值.华南地区4月就可有极端降水事件出现,而中国北方地区要到6月底才出现极端降水;全中国大部分地区的年最晚极端降水在8-9月,但沿海地区、大陆南端和西南地区南部的少数站点在10月以后仍有极端降水发生.     

Duration and Seasonality of Hourly Extreme Rainfall in the Central Eastern China

Compared with daily rainfall amount, hourly rainfall rate represents rainfall intensity and the rainfall process more accurately, and thus is more suitable for studies of extreme rainfall events. The distribution functions of annual maximum hourly rainfall amount at 321 stations in China are quantified by the Generalized Extreme Value（GEV） distribution, and the threshold values of hourly rainfall intensity for 5-yr return period are estimated. The spatial distributions of the threshold exhibit significant regional diferences, with low values in northwestern China and high values in northern China, the mid and lower reaches of the Yangtze River valley, the coastal areas of southern China, and the Sichuan basin. The duration and seasonality of the extreme precipitation with 5-yr return periods are further analyzed. The average duration of extreme precipitation events exceeds 12 h in the coastal regions, Yangtze River valley, and eastern slope of the Tibetan Plateau. The duration in northern China is relatively short. The extreme precipitation events develop more rapidly in mountain regions with large elevation diferences than those in the plain areas. There are records of extreme precipitation in as early as April in southern China while extreme rainfall in northern China will not occur until late June. At most stations in China, the latest extreme precipitation happens in August–September. The extreme rainfall later than October can be found only at a small portion of stations in the coastal regions, the southern end of the Asian continent, and the southern part of southwestern China.

中国大陆地区小时极端降水阈值的计算与分析

利用广义极值分布和百分位两种阈值确定方法,对我国465个气象站点不同极端程度的小时降水强度阈值进行了分析。广义极值分布结果表明,重现期为2、5、10、50a的降水强度阈值具有一致的空间分布特征：华南沿海阈值最高,长江中下游地区北部、四川盆地西部、华北地区东部次之,云南中西部、华北西部和东北西部阈值相对更低,最小值出现在我国西部地区。百分位法得到的阈值空间分布呈现出与广义极值分布结果较为一致的东南大、西北小的整体特征。考察465站中位数发现,第99．9百分位的强度阈值与二年一遇降水的阈值接近。具体分析各站第99．9百分位降水阈值对应的重现期发现,长江流域及其以南地区重现期大多低于2a;35°N一带重现期长于4a;我国北方和西北部分地区重现期长于8a。     

华北地区小时极端降水的非稳态研究

本文以华北五省为研究区，基于1960—2014年小时降水数据建立1、2、3、6、12和24 h极端降水序列，对比分析稳态和非稳态假设下极端降水重现期估计的差异。研究表明：1960―2014年华北不同时间极端降水的变化趋势略有不同，时间越短呈上升趋势的站点越多，1~3 h的极端降水呈上升趋势的站点较多，稳态和非稳态假设下的20~100 a一遇重现期平均差异较大，其中，1 h极端降水的显著上升站点中，二者的平均相对误差达30%~43%；而6~24 h极端降水中，呈下降趋势的站点增多，其中，24 h极端降水显著下降站点中，二者的平均相对误差达-43%~-32%；无显著趋势站点，二者的平均相对误差大部分介于-10%~10%。随着重现期增大，二者差异的不确定性区间增大，不同变化趋势站点表现一致。研究发现，华北地区短历时极端降水强度增加，稳态假设下极端降水的重现期会严重低估。因此，选用非稳态假设估计极端降水的重现期，将降低极端降水的灾害风险。     

“菲特”(1323)台风降水的极端性分析

基于1981—2013年间的热带气旋降水资料,使用百分比法研究了台风"菲特"所带来降水的极端特性,并进行了降水重现期特征分析。结果表明:台风"菲特"期间的日降水量、小时雨强、过程降水量超过"单站热带气旋极端降水阈值"和"中国热带气旋极端降水阈值"的站点几乎覆盖了整个上海以及浙江北部地区,并且日降水量和过程降水量达百年一遇标准的也占相当大的比例,甚至有的站点创历史极值,此次过程在这些地区是很罕见的。相比较而言,"菲特"影响期间,极端日降水和极端过程降水的分布范围以及极端性都大于小时雨强,极端过程降水较极端日降水分布范围小,但极端性更强。     

南海夏季风爆发前后华南前汛期降水日变化对比分析

利用华南地区248个国家级地面气象站逐小时降水数据和14个探空站数据,分析了2003—2016年4—6月华南前汛期降水日变化特征。据南海夏季风爆发时间,将降水分为爆发前后两个时段。华南地区主要存在两条大雨带,一个位于云贵高原至南岭山脉以南,另一个位于广东沿海地区。偏北雨带集中发生在后半夜至清晨时段,偏南雨带集中发生在中午至下午时段。南海夏季风爆发前后,降水量不存在明显相关性,相关系数较大时次位于中午至下午时段。前后期年降水标准差在0.5附近,变化幅度明显时段主要集中于凌晨至清晨。午后出现3 h多年降水量变化幅度最大值,最小时段为中午12时。降水量、降水频率和降水强度的经向分布特征明显且相似:降水量和降水频率在112 °E附近出现日变化转折,以西多出现不稳定夜雨,以东白天降水波动较大。在南海夏季风爆发前,降水特征主要表现为西部高频、南部高强,在清晨更多作用于对暴雨系统的增长;季风爆发后则表现为西北-东南南的高频率高强度降水形态,在傍晚更多作用于增加降水发生频率。

Observed Trends in Severe Weather Conditions Based on Humidex,Wind Chill,and Heavy Rainfall Events in Canada for 1953–2012

Observed trends in severe weather conditions based on public alert statements issued by Environment Canada are examined for Canada. Changes in extreme heat and extreme cold events represented by various humidex and wind chill indices are analyzed for 1953–2012 at 126 climatological stations. Changes in heavy rainfall events based on rainfall amounts provided by tipping bucket rainfall gauges are analyzed for 1960–2012 at 285 stations. The results show that extreme heat events, defined as days with at least one hourly humidex value above 30, have increased significantly at more than 36% of the stations, most of which are located south of 55°N; days with nighttime hourly humidex values remaining above 20 have increased significantly at more than 52% of the stations, most of which are located south of 50°N. Extreme cold events represented by days with at least one hourly wind chill value below ?30 have decreased significantly at more than 76% of the stations across the country. No consistent changes were found in heavy rainfall events. Because city residents are very vulnerable to severe weather events, detailed results on changes in extreme heat, extreme cold, and heavy rainfall events are also provided for ten urban centres.

根据西南地区112个站点1961-2000年逐时降水资料,分析了不同季节降水时数、小时雨强、极端强降水时数和极端强降水强度的变化趋势.从降水时数变化来看,夏季西南大部分地区如四川盆地西部、云南、贵州南部等地总降水时数有减少趋势,四川盆地东部和川西高原总降水时数增加;整个区域平均趋势为-0.9%/10a.相应地,极端强降...     

Regional Frequency Analysis of Observed Sub-Daily Rainfall Maxima over Eastern China

Based on hourly rainfall observational data from 442 stations during 1960–2014, a regional frequency analysis of the annual maxima(AM) sub-daily rainfall series(1-, 2-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-h rainfall, using a moving window approach) for eastern China was conducted. Eastern China was divided into 13 homogeneous regions: Northeast(NE1, NE2), Central(C), Central North(CN1, CN2), Central East(CE1, CE2, CE3), Southeast(SE1, SE2, SE3, SE4), and Southwest(SW).The generalized extreme value performed best for the AM series in regions NE, C, CN2, CE1, CE2, SE2, and SW, and the generalized logistic distribution was appropriate in the other regions. Maximum return levels were in the SE4 region, with value ranges of 80–270 mm(1-h to 24-h rainfall) and 108–390 mm(1-h to 24-h rainfall) for 20- and 100 yr, respectively.Minimum return levels were in the CN1 and NE1 regions, with values of 37–104 mm and 53–140 mm for 20 and 100 yr,respectively. Comparing return levels using the optimal and commonly used Pearson-III distribution, the mean return-level differences in eastern China for 1–24-h rainfall varied from-3–4 mm to-23–11 mm(-10%–10%) for 20-yr events, reaching-6–26 mm(-10%–30%) and-10–133 mm(-10%–90%) for 100-yr events. In view of the large differences in estimated return levels, more attention should be given to frequency analysis of sub-daily rainfall over China, for improved water management and disaster reduction.

近53年江淮流域梅汛期极端降水变化特征

基于1961—2013年江淮流域梅汛期（6—7月）逐日降水资料,利用百分位法确定极端降水阈值,对江淮流域梅汛期极端降水的时空分布及突变特征进行分析,结果表明：95%分位极端降水阈值多在50 mm以上,大值中心主要位于湖北东部到安徽南部一带;平均极端降水强度与阈值大小的空间分布相似。极端降水量和极端降水日数整体呈现由安徽南部向四周递减的空间分布特征,极端降水量约占梅汛期降水总量的1/4~1/3。从季节内分布上看,极端强降水站次在梅汛期呈单峰型分布,各候间差异明显,其中6月第5候到7月第2候最多。极端降水量、极端降水日数以及极端降水量占梅汛期总降水量百分比均具有明显的年际变化,且上升趋势显著;江淮流域梅汛期极端降水量和极端降水站次的这种上升趋势均在1980年发生突变。     

全国电线结冰厚度分布及等级预报模型

利用1961-2008年全国电线结冰及相关气象要素台站观测资料,分析电线结冰厚度的空间分布特征,并建立利用前期冰冻日数,前1天日最低气温、相对湿度、风速和降水量预报电线结冰厚度等级的3层人工神经网络BP模型。结果表明:电线结冰厚度最大值在10mm以上的地区,在北方主要位于东北东南部、内蒙古东北部、华北中部以及甘肃南部等地,在南方主要位于安徽东南部、江西北部、湖南南部、湖北西部、重庆南部、贵州中部以及四川东部等地,呈东-西向带状分布。近48年来,安徽黄山和江西庐山覆冰厚度历年极大值和覆冰日数均呈增长趋势;四川峨眉山、甘肃西峰镇的历年极大值和覆冰日数均呈减小趋势。建立的人工神经网络BP模型能在一定程度上预报结冰厚度等级, 模型对近10年的回报结果显示, 准确率为81.3%。     

云南小时降水的时空分布变化研究

利用2005—2018年125个国家级台站小时降水观测数据研究云南小时降水时空分布特征。结果表明:云南年总降水量、不同持续时间降水量、极端强降水量及降水日变化空间分布差异很大。年降水量自西北向南增加,雨强自北向南增强,降水时长西部大于东部、南部略大于北部,年降水量受降水时长和雨强共同影响,降水时长影响最强,雨强影响较弱,这种特征在滇西北最突出,但滇东北的降水量与雨强相关更好。云南大部夜雨量多于昼雨量,滇东北和北部边缘夜雨特征最显著;降水日变化特征在云南北部为夜间单峰,西部边缘为清晨单峰,中部为夜间与午后峰值相当的双峰,南部也为夜间和午后双峰,但南部不同区域间主峰和次峰出现时间不同。云南南部降水贡献以短、中历时降水为主,北部则以长、超长历时降水为主。云南短时强降水发生次数的空间分布表现为自西北向东南增加;年发生站次数具有增加趋势,日变化特征为显著单峰,多在傍晚至入夜出现,且极端短时强降水更易在凌晨出现。这些小时降水时空分布特征很大程度上代表了低纬高原地区的降水特征。由于低值天气系统多影响低纬高原中北部,热带天气系统多影响南部,且低纬高原地形复杂,局地热力条件差异明显,这些因素造成该区域小时降水时空分布特征差异显著。     

On the Key Dynamical Processes Supporting the 21.7 Zhengzhou Record-breaking Hourly Rainfall in China

An extremely heavy rainfall event occurred in Zhengzhou, China, on 20 July 2021 and produced an hourly rainfall rate of 201.9 mm, which broke the station record for mainland China. Based on radar observations and a convection-permitting simulation using the WRF-ARW model, this paper investigates the multiscale processes, especially those at the mesoscale,that support the extreme observed hourly rainfall. Results show that the extreme rainfall occurred in an environment characteristic of warm-sec...     

近46a重庆汛期极端降水量异常特征

利用重庆33站1961-2006年汛期(5-9月)逐日降水资料,定义了不同台站的极端降水阈值,统计出了不同台站近46a逐年汛期极端降水量,并进行时空分布特征分析。结果表明:重庆地区汛期极端降水量空间分布差异明显,一致性异常分布特征是最主要空间模态,空间分布可分为5个主要区域;各区代表站汛期极端降水量占总降水量的比重相当大;从长期变化趋势来看,整个重庆地区近46a来汛期极端降水变化趋势不显著;各区汛期极端降水主要存在着2~3a、5a左右的年际变化和11a左右的年代际振荡。     

Trends in Canadian Short‐Duration Extreme Rainfall: Including an Intensity–Duration–Frequency Perspective

Short-duration (5 minutes to 24 hours) rainfall extremes are important for a number of purposes, including engineering infrastructure design, because they represent the different meteorological scales of extreme rainfall events. Both single location and regional analyses of the changes in short-duration extreme rainfall amounts across Canada, as observed by tipping bucket rain gauges from 1965 to 2005, are presented. The single station analysis shows a general lack of a detectable trend signal, at the 5% significance level, because of the large variability and the relatively short period of record of the extreme short-duration rainfall amounts. The single station 30-minute to 24-hour durations show that, on average, 4% of the total number of stations have statistically significant increasing amounts of rainfall, whereas 1.6% of the cases have significantly decreasing amounts. However, regional spatial patterns are apparent in the single station trend results. Thus, for the same durations regional trends are presented by grouping the single station trend statistics across Canada. This regional trend analysis shows that at least two-thirds of the regions across Canada have increasing trends in extreme rainfall amounts, with up to 33% being significant (depending on location and duration). Both the southwest and the east (Newfoundland) coastal regions generally show significant increasing regional trends for 1- and 2-hour extreme rainfall durations. For the shortest durations of 5–15 minutes, the general overall regional trends in the extreme amounts are more variable, with increasing and decreasing trends occurring with similar frequency; however, there is no evidence of statistically significant decreasing regional trends in extreme rainfall amounts. The decreasing regional trends for the 5- to 15-minute duration amounts tend to be located in the St. Lawrence region of southern Quebec and in the Atlantic provinces. Additional analysis using criteria specified for traditional water management practice (e.g., Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF)) shows that fewer than 5.6% and 3.4% of the stations have significant increasing and decreasing trends, respectively, in extreme annual maximum single location observation amounts. This indicates that at most locations across Canada the traditional single station IDF assumption that historical extreme rainfall observations are stationary (in terms of the mean) over the period of record for an individual station is not violated. However, the trend information is still useful complementary information that can be considered for water management purposes, especially in terms of regional analysis.     

Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Extreme Hourly Precipitation over Eastern China in the Warm Season

Based on hourly precipitation data in eastern China in the warm season during 1961-2000,spatial distributions of frequency for 20 mm h 1 and 50 mm h 1 precipitation were analyzed,and the criteria of short-duration rainfall events and severe rainfall events are discussed.Furthermore,the percentile method was used to define local hourly extreme precipitation;based on this,diurnal variations and trends in extreme precipitation were further studied.The results of this study show that,over Yunnan,South China,North China,and Northeast China,the most frequent extreme precipitation events occur most frequently in late afternoon and/or early evening.In the Guizhou Plateau and the Sichuan Basin,the maximum frequency of extreme precipitation events occurs in the late night and/or early morning.And in the western Sichuan Plateau,the maximum frequency occurs in the middle of the night.The frequency of extreme precipitation (based on hourly rainfall measurements) has increased in most parts of eastern China,especially in Northeast China and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River,but precipitation has decreased significantly in North China in the past 50 years.In addition,stations in the Guizhou Plateau and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River exhibit significant increasing trends in hourly precipitation extremes during the nighttime more than during the daytime.
