西藏藏北高原典型植被生长对气候要素变化的响应

选取西藏藏北高原西部高寒草原植被、中部高寒草甸植被及东南部高寒灌丛草甸植被 3 种藏北地区最典型的植被类型, 结合临近 3 个气象观测站的资料, 分析这 3 种典型植被类型地区 1999—2001 年旬平均气温、旬总降水量和 SPOT VEGETATION 卫星 10 d 最大值合成归一化植被指数 (NDVI) 变化特征以及 3 种典型植被基于 SPOT VEGETATION NDVI 的生长变化对旬平均气温和旬总降水量两个主要气候要素变化的响应关系。 结果表明: 藏北地区降水资源的空间分布特点是东南部向西北部逐渐减少, 气温则由南向北逐渐递减, 与降水资源分布相反, 蒸发量西部高, 东部低; SPOT VEGETATION NDVI 能够较为准确地反映 3 种典型植被生长变化特征, 所反映的植被返青期和枯黄期等重要植被生长阶段与由积温计算的植被生长特征基本一致; 藏北地区基于 SPOT VEGETATION NDVI 的植被生长变化与气温的相关系数明显高于与降水的相关系数 , 其中以那曲为代表的高寒草甸植被的 NDVI 与旬气温和旬降水总量的相关系数最大, 分别为 0.81 和 0.68 , 表明藏北地区由于海拔高, 气候寒冷, 气温对该地区植被生长的影响明显高于降水的影响, 即该地区植被生长变化对气温的响应程度明显高于对降水的响应程度 , 是植被生长的限制性因素; 不同植被类型对气温和降水两个要素的响应程度大小依次是高寒草甸、高寒灌丛草甸和高寒草原。

陕北植被变化遥感监测及对径流的影响

陕北北部是我国水土流失最为严重的地区,年输入黄河的泥沙量占全河的38%。1999年实施退耕还林草工程后,退耕还林草面积达9617.2 km2。利用1998-2004年NOAA卫星遥感资料,计算陕北北部地区归一化植被指数,发现陕北植被指数增幅在50%-200%之间,其中吴旗县增幅最大。对延安北部及榆林市1998-2004年降水量资料分析,得出植被指数增加是退耕还林草工程初见成效,不是由于降水变化引起的。利用1980-2004年吴旗县气象站观测的降水量和水文站所测径流量进行时间序列相关分析、典型年对比分析,得出该县植被变化对年径流量产生了影响,年径流量和泥沙量减少近一半,对保持水土有积极意义。     

黑河流域生态环境气象卫星遥感监测研究

根据甘肃降水资料和农业气象资料得出1989年和1998年为相似年景，利用1989年和1998年NOAA气象卫星AVHRR晴空资料，判识出黑河流域植被，积雪和水体，并根据相应的计算方法得出植被指数，积雪面积和水体面积，对10年来黑河上游地区的植被和积雪，中游地区绿洲植被和下游地区植被和湖泊变化进行分析。结果表明，10年来黑河上游和下游地区植被在退化，中游地区绿洲面积增加，植被指数增高；1989年与1998年黑河上游山区积雪面积变化特征一致，但1998积雪融化明显快于1989年；下游湖泊面积1998年较1989年严重退缩。     

内蒙古地区植被对气候变化的响应

植被作为表征陆地生态环境变化的指示器,其对气候变化的响应研究已成为当前全球变化领域的主要内容之一。基于1982—2012年归一化植被指数(NDVI)和同期观测温度和降水资料,分析了内蒙古地区植被对气候变化的响应。研究表明,1982—2012年,植被指数总体呈波动变化,且区域差异明显。从年际变化来看,植被受降水影响明显;年内变化上,气温对植被的作用明显。内蒙古不同区域植被对气候的响应方式不同,其中内蒙古东北部地区对气温和降水的响应无滞后时间,其余地区对气温和降水的滞后时间为1个月。     

农牧交错带植被演变对区域气候影响的模拟

利用中尺度模式WRF和1981年、1990年卫星遥感地表分类数据,模拟分析了典型年份农牧交错带内地表植被变化对2001-2010年中国区域气候的影响。结果表明:(1)相对于1981年,1990年交错带内38°N以北(南)植被覆盖增加(减小),地表粗糙度增加(减小)。(2)当植被覆盖度增加(减小)、地表粗糙度增加(减小)时,交错带相应地区及附近地区温度升高(降低)。(3)交错带植被演变导致我国降水量差值场存在自东向西的"正-负-正"分布,地表粗糙度增加(减小)对应降水量差值增加(减少),且降水量越大,水循环越充足,植被演变对降水量的影响表现越突出。(4)交错带的植被演变主要影响中高层风场,且存在明显的季节性差异。500 h Pa气旋状(反气旋状)偏差风场环流中心对应着降水量差值场的正值(负值)。     

2000-2017年甘南牧区植被变化特征及其影响因子

基于MOD13A3数据，建立2000-2017年甘南牧区植被覆盖时空数据集，分析了甘南牧区植被的时空分布及其变化特征，并利用同期气象数据探讨气象因子对其影响。结果表明，甘南牧区植被水平上呈南多北少的分布格局,与降水量分布基本一致；垂直分布上南部随海拔升高植被减少，北部随海拔升高植被增加。总体上，甘南牧区植被覆盖有增加趋势。气温、降水与日照时数是影响甘南牧区植被变化的重要因子，但2011年以后气温、降水及日照时数对植被变化的影响有所降低，其中5-6月降水量对亚高山草甸区植被变化的影响由显著正相关转为负相关。     

生长季植被覆盖变化对局地气象要素的可能影响

植被覆盖变化对地表气象要素存在反馈作用,但在不同时空尺度上反馈关系及其表现强度存在差异。作者利用地面观测资料和归一化植被指数（NDVI）分析了15天尺度上植被覆盖变化对气象要素的影响。结果表明,我国北方农牧交错带生长季植被覆盖变化可能对同期、后期地表气象要素存在一定影响。当植被指数偏高时,地表平均温度、最高温度、最低温度和小雨频次偏低,而平均相对湿度和最小相对湿度偏高,影响持续约为1～2周。地表温度和小雨频次的变化与地表热通量的变化有关,当植被指数偏高时,地表潜热所占比例偏高,而地表感热所占比例偏低,导致地表温度偏低;地表感热偏低伴随偏弱的上升运动,不利于降水,故小雨频次偏低。地表温度偏低引起饱和比湿偏低,加之植被蒸腾量较大引起比湿偏高,故相对湿度偏高。此外,从长期变化来看NDVI与地表温度和小雨频次的相关不明显,故地表温度和小雨频次的长期变化可能更多是受大尺度气候变化的影响。     

近57a西乌珠穆沁旗气候变化及与植被指数相关分析

文章利用1961—2017年西乌珠穆沁旗气温、降水资料,并结合NDVI资料,对西乌珠穆沁旗的气候及植被指数变化进行了分析。结果表明:近57 a来西乌珠穆沁旗年平均气温增加趋势显著,且四季增温明显。年降水量增减趋势不明显,但冬季降水量有明显增加趋势。近32 a西乌珠穆沁旗植被指数变化与气候变化密切相关,植被指数的大小主要受上月和当月气温、降水量的影响,其中降水量与植被指数的相关效果比气温显著,说明影响牧草长势好坏的主要因子是降水量,但21世纪以来夏季降水量减少,对牧草生长不利。     

陕北地区植被治理与退化对一次区域降水过程影响的数值模拟

Trend analysis of precipitation time series in Greece and their relationship with circulation using surface and satellite data: 1955–2001

Summary In this study, the trends of annual and seasonal precipitation time series were examined on the basis of measurements of 22 surface stations in Greece for the period 1955–2001, and satellite data during the period 1980–2001. For this purpose, two statistical tests based on the least square method and one based on the Mann-Kendall test, which is also capable of detecting the starting year of possible climatic discontinuities or changes, are applied. Greece, in general, presents a clear significant downward trend in annual precipitation for the period 1955–2001, which is determined by the respective decreasing trend in winter precipitation. Both winter and annual series exhibit a downward trend with a starting year being 1984. Satellite-derived precipitation time series could be an alternative means for diagnosing the variability of precipitation in Greece and detecting trends provided that they have been adjusted by surface measurements in the wider area of interest. The relationship between precipitation variability in Greece and atmospheric circulation was also examined using correlation analysis with three circulation indices: the well-known North Atlantic Oscillation Index (NAOI), a Mediterranean Oscillation Index (MOI) and a new Mediterranean Circulation Index (MCI). NAOI is the index that presented the most interesting correlation with winter, summer and annual precipitation in Greece, whereas the MOI and MCI were found to explain a significant proportion of annual and summer precipitation variability, respectively. The observed downward trend in winter and annual precipitation in Greece is linked mainly to a rising trend in the hemispheric circulation modes of the NAO, which are connected with the Mediterranean Oscillation Index.     

Fluctuation of farming-pastoral ecotone in association with changing East Asia monsoon climate

As a monsoon climate dominated region, East Asia has a high rate of climate variation. Previous studies demonstrated that the East Asian monsoon had weakened since the end of 1970’s; however, contrary to the climatic trend, a common scenario of advancing farming-pastoral ecotone (FPE) has been proposed. The objective of this study is to analyze land surface changes in association with monsoon climate variability over past 25 years in East Asia. A combination of intensive ground survey of vegetation and land use, meteorological data, and remote sensing are used to quantify the relationship between vegetation and climate and to analyze the FPE fluctuations associated with changing climate. Field precipitation data from 1981 to 2005, are used to represent climate variations and to delineate the FPE boundary. NDVI data are used to evaluate greenness-precipitation linkages by vegetation type and to create land cover maps depicting spatial pattern fluctuations of the FPE. This study demonstrates that: (1) There was no persistent northwest shifting trend of either the FPE boundary or vegetation cover during last 25 years. (2) Time integrated NDVI (TI-NDVI) varies with precipitation, and the maximum or minimum NDVI may be only sensitive to precipitation for areas with mean annual precipitation lower than approximately 200 mm. (3) A significant relationship exists between NDVI and precipitation variations for areas with mean annual precipitation greater than approximately 300 mm, especially the ecotone with a ΔNDVI of 0.122?±?0.032. (4) The “advances” of FPE closely mimic fluctuations of precipitation in East Asia.     

Evaluation of the WRF Model with Different Land Surface Schemes： A Drought Event Simulation in Southwest China during 2009–10

The authors examined the performance of version 3.4.1 of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model（WRF） with various land surface schemes in simulating a severe drought event in Southwest China. Five numerical experiments were completed using the Noah land surface scheme, the Pleim-Xiu land surface scheme, the Noah-MP land surface schemes, the Noah- MP scheme with dynamic vegetation, and the Noah-MP scheme with dynamic vegetation and groundwater processes. In general, all the simulations reasonably reproduced the spatial and temporal variations in precipitation, but significant bias was also found, especially for the spatial pattern of simulated precipitation. The WRF simulations with the Noah-MP series land surface schemes performed slightly better than the WRF simulation with the Noah and Pleim-Xiu land surface schemes in reproducing the severe drought events in Southwest China. The leaf area index（LAI） simulated by the different land surface schemes showed significant deviations in Southwest China. The Pleim-Xiu scheme overestimated the value of LAI by a factor of two. The Noah-MP scheme with dynamical vegetation overestimated the magnitude of the annual cycle of the LAI, although the annual mean LAI was close to observations. The simulated LAI showed a long-term lower value from autumn 2009 to spring 2010 relative to normal years. This indicates that the LAI is a potential indictor to monitor drought events.     

青藏高原冬、春植被归一化指数变化特征及其与高原夏季降水的联系

青藏高原气候独特,影响高原夏季降水的原因是十分复杂的和多方面的。文中利用1982—2001年的卫星遥感植被归一化指数(NDVI)资料和青藏高原55个实测台站降水资料,应用经验正交分解(EOF)、奇异值分解(SVD)等方法分析了青藏高原冬、春植被变化特征及其与高原夏季降水的联系,得到以下几点初步认识:青藏高原冬、春季植被分布基本呈现东南地区植被覆盖较好,逐渐向西北地区减少的特征。其中高原东南部地区和高原南侧边界地区NDVI值最大,而西北地区和北侧边界地区NDVI较小。EOF分析表明,20年来冬、春季高原植被的变化趋势是总体呈阶段性增加,其中尤以高原北部、西北部(昆仑山、阿尔金山和祁连山沿线)和南部的雅鲁藏布江流域植被增加明显。由SVD方法得到的高原前期NDVI与后期降水的相关性是较稳定的。青藏高原多数区域冬、春植被与夏季降水存在较好的正相关,且这种滞后相关存在明显的区域差异。高原南部和北部区域的NDVI在冬春两季都与夏季降水有明显的正相关,即冬春季植被对夏季降水的影响较显著。而冬季高原中东部玉树地区附近区域的NDVI与夏季降水也存在较明显的负相关,即冬季中东部区域的植被变化对夏季降水的影响也较显著。由此可见,高原前期NDVI的变化特征,可以作为高原降水长期预报综合考虑的一个重要参考因子。

MM5 Simulations of the China Regional Climate During the LGM.II: In uence of Change of Land Area, Vegetation, and Large-scale Circulation Background

Using a regional climate model MM5 nested to an atmospheric global climate model CCM3, a series of simulations and sensitivity experiments have been performed to investigate the relative LGM climate response to changes of land-sea distribution, vegetation, and large-scale circulation background over China.Model results show that compared with the present climate, the fluctuations of sea-land distribution in eastern Asia during the LGM result in the temperature decrease in winter and increase in summer. It has significant impact on the temperature and precipitation in the east coastal region of China. The impact on precipitation in the east coastal region of China is the most significant one, with 25%-50% decrease in the total precipitation change during the LGM. On the other hand, the changes in sea-land distribution have less influence on the climate of inland and western part of China. During the LGM, significant changes in vegetation result in temperature alternating with winter increase and summer decrease, but differences in the annual mean temperature are minor. During the LGM, the global climate, i.e., the large-scale circulation background has changed signi cantly. These changes have signi cant influences on temperature and precipitation over China. They result in considerable temperature decreases in this area, and direct the primary patterns and characteristics of temperature changes. Results display that, northeastern China has the greatest temperature decrease, and the temperature decrease in the Tibetan Plateau is larger than in the eastern part of China located at the same latitude. Moreover, the change of large-scale circulation background also controls the pattern of precipitation change. Results also show that, most of the changes in precipitation over western and northeastern parts of China are the consequences of changing large-scale circulation background, of which 50%-75% of precipitation changes over northern and eastern China are the results of changes in large-scale circulation background. Over China, the LGM climate responses to di erent mechanisms in order of strength from strong to weak are, the large-scale circulation pattern, sealand distribution, vegetation, CO2 concentration, and earth orbital parameters.

Potential predictors for spring season dust storm forecast in Inner Mongolia, China

This study identifies potential predictors for seasonal forecast of dust storm frequency for the Inner Mongolia region of China. Regionally averaged antecedent annual precipitation anomaly has a significant influence on spring dust storm frequency. It is strongly linked to the frequency of severe dust storms that produce strong impact on the downstream Beijing-Tianjin area. A hindcast that uses precipitation anomaly to predict dust storm frequency in the following spring significantly outperforms climatologic forecast. Limited soil moisture observations indicate that an abundant annual precipitation increases the soil moisture of subsurface layer in the subsequent spring, which in turn improves vegetation growth that could lead to a reduction in the frequency of dust storms.
