乌鲁木齐地区雪和雨对气溶胶湿清除能力的比较研究

根据2002年乌鲁木齐地区逐日逐时SO₂、NO₂和PM₁₀粒子浓度监测资料,针对冬季固态降水、夏季液态降水对三种气溶胶颗粒物的湿清除能力进行了统计分析。粗略得出乌鲁木齐地区冬季微量降水日,气溶胶颗粒物浓度呈现增加趋势;而夏季微量降雨能够减小气溶胶颗粒物浓度。超过微量降水量的日子里,在冬季三种颗粒物的浓度明显高于夏季的情形下,每1 mm降雪量对气溶胶的清除率大于夏季每1 mm雨的清除能力。同时拟合结果表明降水日气溶胶浓度的改变量与其前一日气溶胶浓度值存在较好的相关特性。

对2013年4月至2014年7月甘肃省武威市降水事件中常量离子进行测定,运用相关分析、富集因子分析、因子分析和HYSPLIT后向轨迹分析对常量离子的化学特征进行分析。结果表明：武威市降水pH值的变化范围为6.69～8.84,加权平均降水pH值为7.56;降水电导率的分布范围为33.9～1 011 μS·cm^-1,加权平均降水电导率为191.07 μS·cm^-1;降水中离子浓度SO₄^2- > Ca²⁺ > NO₃^- > Na⁺ > Cl^- > K⁺ > Mg²⁺ > NH₄⁺ > F^-。SO₄^2-、Ca²⁺、NO₃^-、Cl^-和Na⁺浓度占总离子浓度的92.14%;阴阳离子浓度随季节变化均表现出显著的波动,Na⁺、Ca²⁺、NH₄⁺均在春季出现最大值,K⁺、Mg²⁺、F^-、Cl^-、NO₃^-和SO₄^2-均在冬季出现最大值。人类活动产生的污染对武威市降水离子浓度有很大影响,特别是工农业生产以及人类活动排放SO₂、NO_x以及氯化物等污染物。据水汽通量、流线分布和后向轨迹将武威市的降水划分为西风源降水和混合源降水（受季风和西风共同影响）。     

沙尘天气过程对中国北方城市空气质量的影响

2014年4月23-25日中国北方地区经历了一次大范围的强沙尘天气过程.利用13个城市的空气质量和气象数据结合后向轨迹模式和MODIS deep-blue气溶胶光学厚度数据,研究沙尘天气过程对中国北方城市空气质量的影响,特别是对PM_2.5质量浓度的贡献。结果表明:来源于塔克拉玛干沙漠及其周边地区的沙尘途经甘肃西北部和内蒙古中西部的沙漠区进而影响下游城市。MODIS deep-blue气溶胶光学厚度的空间分布能够较好地反映出沙尘的水平运动特征。沙尘天气过程可以使中国北方城市PM_2.5和PM₁₀质量浓度分别增加7.5%～1 141.2%和344.0%～2 562.1%,可以有效地降低SO₂、NO₂和CO气体污染物的浓度,而对O₃的浓度影响较小。银川、大同和库尔勒沙尘天气过程期间平均SO₂、NO₂和CO浓度较非沙尘天气过程期间降低最明显,分别降低约80.0%、78.7%和62.1%。     

沙尘对兰州市大气环境质量的影响

利用1951-2010年甘肃省气象局地面观测站沙尘气象资料和2006-2010年兰州环保局PM₁₀、SO₂、NO₂质量浓度资料,分析了兰州市沙尘天气时间变化特征及其对SO₂、NO₂、PM₁₀等大气污染物浓度的影响。结果表明:近60年来兰州市沙尘天气总体上呈现振荡性减少的趋势,沙尘暴、扬沙和浮尘年变化倾向率分别为-0.15 d、-0.72 d和-0.97 d,这与上游沙尘源区沙尘天气振荡性减少有关。沙尘对兰州地区SO₂和NO₂质量浓度影响不大,对PM_2.5质量浓度和PM_1.0数浓度的变化有一定的贡献,但对PM₁₀质量浓度影响非常大,沙尘对春季PM₁₀质量浓度的贡献率在18.4%～43.1%。对2007年5月10日一次强沙尘天气过程研究发现,随着沙尘天气的侵入,兰州市不同粒径气溶胶的浓度陡然上升,然后达到较高的浓度水平,之后由于沙尘天气的减弱、消退或离境,不同粒径气溶胶浓度也逐渐降低并缓慢恢复到正常水平。     

大连市大气污染物质量浓度与气溶胶光学厚度的相关性分析

分别对2015年6~12月和2016年6~12月大连地区的大气污染物PM2.5、PM10、SO₂、NO₂、CO和O₃的浓度数据进行数据统计分析,基于ENVI软件平台利用MODIS数据反演大连地区的气溶胶光学厚度,通过回归建模研究气溶胶光学厚度与大连地区10个地面监测站点的大气污染物PM2.5、PM10、SO₂、NO₂、CO和O₃的浓度数据的相关性。回归建模以气溶胶光学厚度（AOD）为自变量,以大气污染物PM2.5、PM10、SO₂、NO₂、CO和O₃为因变量,在SPSS软件中分别选取线性、对数、三次、乘幂、指数5种函数类型进行研究,通过对比回归模型的拟合优度R²,选择最优拟合模型,探讨利用遥感数据反演气溶胶光学厚度监测大气污染的相关性。结果表明：气溶胶光学厚度与NO₂、PM2.5和PM10的最优拟合模型均为三次模型,其拟合优度R²分别是0.685、0.801和0.845;与O₃和SO₂的最优拟合模型为指数模型,其R²为0.367和0.482;与CO的最优拟合模型为对数模型,其拟合优度R²为0.810。该结果为分析大气气溶胶污染来源以及治理提供了数据。     

武威市降水pH值和电导率对沙尘天气的指示意义

对武威市2013年7月至2014年6月收集的降水样品pH值、电导率和主要阴阳离子浓度进行测定和分析。结果表明：（1）降水样品的pH值6.69～8.84,平均值7.52。降水样品电导率33.9～766 μS·cm^-1,平均182.07 μS·cm^-1。（2）电导率冬季 >春季 >夏季 >秋季,pH值春季 >夏季 >秋季 >冬季。pH值与电导率呈显著的负相关,与风速呈正相关;电导率与降水量呈显著的负相关,与风速呈显著的负相关。（3）pH值和电导率都会随着沙尘事件的发生表现出增加的趋势。当沙尘事件发生的情况下,Na⁺、K⁺、Mg²⁺、Ca²⁺、SO₄^2-、Cl^-和NO₃⁺的离子浓度都呈现增加的趋势,但从各离子浓度变化幅度对沙尘事件的响应来看,Na⁺、K⁺和NO₃^-对沙尘天气比较敏感,反应强烈。     

沙尘影响下华北地区一次重污染天气形成与消散过程分析

以2017年5月4日~5日华北地区出现的一次大范围的严重的天气污染形成与消散过程为研究对象,通过搜集华北地区9个城市空气中主要污染物浓度、AQI（空气质量指数）和常规气象数据,分析AQI、主要污染物（PM₁₀、PM_2.5、SO₂、NO₂、CO、O₃）浓度变化特征和相关气象因子的关系。结果表明：本次重污染本质为区域性沙尘污染所致。污染过程呈现出形成速度快、消散急促的特点。该污染过程首要污染物为PM₁₀,其次为PM_2.5,而SO₂、NO₂、CO、O₃等由人类活动产生的污染物浓度并未超标。后向轨迹分析和相关分析发现造成此次严重污染颗粒物主要来自蒙古高原,风是主要驱动因子。污染物在空间位置比较接近的城市间传输时,表现出趋势一致性、时间上的滞后性和污染物浓度的累积性特点。     

黄河流域空气污染的空间格局演化及影响因素

基于2008—2017年黄河流域工业SO₂和PM_2.5两类典型空气污染物数据,首先刻画了两者的空间演化格局,并运用空间面板杜宾模型（SPDM）从直接效应和间接效应两方面对两者的影响因素进行对比分析。结果表明：① 工业SO₂和PM_2.5污染均存在显著的空间集聚特征,从东南至西北方向呈现梯度递减趋势;二者在城市尺度均存在显著的正向空间关联性,但PM_2.5污染的空间关联性比工业SO₂更强;② 2008—2017年,工业SO₂和PM_2.5污染有所缓解,其中工业SO₂排放强度迅速下降;而PM_2.5质量浓度下降相对缓慢,仍是黄河流域主要的空气污染源。③ 产业结构、技术创新、能源效率、人口规模、经济发展、工业规模等是影响黄河流域空气污染的主要因素,但PM_2.5的影响因素更加复杂多样化。其中,技术创新能力和经济发展水平的提升虽然在研究期内加剧了本地工业SO₂污染的排放强度,但却能缓解周边城市的工业SO₂和PM_2.5污染;工业规模的扩大会加剧本地和邻近城市的PM_2.5污染。     

降水变化对中国南方强酸雨分布的影响

Acid rain has been recognized as a serious environmental problem in China since the 1980s, but little is known about the effects of the climatic change in regional precipitation on the temporal and spatial variability of severe acid rain. We present the effects of the re-gional precipitation trend change on the area and intensity of severe acid rain in southern China, and the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of SO2 and NO2 concentrations are analyzed on the basis of SO2 and NO2 column concentration data. The results are as follows. (1) The emission levels of SO2 and NO2 have reached or passed the precipitation scavenging capacity in parts of southern China owing to the emission totals of SO2 and NO2 increasing from 1993 to 2004. (2) Notable changes in the proportion of cities subject to severe acid rain occurred mainly in the south of the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River during 1993-2004. With an abrupt change in 1999, the severe acid rain regions were mainly located in central and western China during 1993-1999 and moved obviously eastward to the south of the lower-middle reaches of the Yangtze River with the proportion of cities subject to se-vere acid rain increasing significantly from 2000 to 2004. (3) The spatial distribution and variation in the seasonal precipitation change rate of more than 10 mm/10a are similar to those of severe acid rain in southern China. An abrupt change in 1999 is seen for winter and summer precipitation, the same as for the proportion of cities subject to severe acid rain in southern China. The significant increase in summer storm precipitation from 1991 to 1999 mitigated the annual precipitation acidity in the south of the Yangtze River and reduced the area of severe acid rainfall. On the other hand, the decrease in storm rainfall in summer ex-panded the area of severe acid rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River in 2000-2006. Therefore, the change in seasonal precipitation is an important factor in the severe acid rain regions moving eastward and expanding in southern China.     

Effects of precipitation variation on severe acid rain in southern China

Acid rain has been recognized as a serious environmental problem in China since the 1980s,but little is known about the effects of the climatic change in regional precipitation on the temporal and spatial variability of severe acid rain.We present the effects of the regional precipitation trend change on the area and intensity of severe acid rain in southern China,and the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of SO2 and NO2 concentrations are analyzed on the basis of SO2 and NO2 column concentration data.The results are as follows.(1) The emission levels of SO2 and NO2 have reached or passed the precipitation scavenging capacity in parts of southern China owing to the emission totals of SO2 and NO2 increasing from 1993 to 2004.(2) Notable changes in the proportion of cities subject to severe acid rain occurred mainly in the south of the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River during 1993-2004.With an abrupt change in 1999,the severe acid rain regions were mainly located in central and western China during 1993-1999 and moved obviously eastward to the south of the lower-middle reaches of the Yangtze River with the proportion of cities subject to severe acid rain increasing significantly from 2000 to 2004.(3) The spatial distribution and variation in the seasonal precipitation change rate of more than 10 mm/10a are similar to those of severe acid rain in southern China.An abrupt change in 1999 is seen for winter and summer precipitation,the same as for the proportion of cities subject to severe acid rain in southern China.The significant increase in summer storm precipitation from 1991 to 1999 mitigated the annual precipitation acidity in the south of the Yangtze River and reduced the area of severe acid rainfall.On the other hand,the decrease in storm rainfall in summer expanded the area of severe acid rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River in 2000-2006.Therefore,the change in seasonal precipitation is an important factor in the severe acid rain regions moving eastward and expanding in southern China.     

Characteristics of abrupt changes of snow cover and seasonal freeze-thaw layer in the Tibetan Plateau and their impacts on summer precipitation in China

In this paper, a variation series of snow cover and seasonal freeze-thaw layer from 1965 to 2004 on the Tibetan Plateau has been established by using the observation data from meteorological stations. The sliding T-test, M-K test and B-G algorithm are used to verify abrupt changes of snow cover and seasonal freeze-thaw layer in the Tibetan plateau. The results show that the snow cover has not undergone an abrupt change, but the seasonal freeze-thaw layer obviously witnessed a rapid degradation in 1987, with the frozen soil depth being reduced by about 15 cm. It is also found that when there is less snow in the plateau region, precipitation in South China and Southwest China increases. But when the frozen soil is deep, precipitation in most of China apparently decreases. Both snow cover and seasonal freeze-thaw layer on the plateau can be used to predict the summer precipitation in China. However, if the impacts of snow cover and seasonal freeze-thaw layer are used at the same time, the predictability of summer precipitation can be significantly improved. The significant correlation zone of snow is located in middle reaches of the Yangtze River covering the Hexi Corridor and northeastern Inner Mongolia, and the seasonal freeze-thaw layer exists in Mt. Nanling, northern Shannxi and northwestern part of North China. The significant correlation zone of simultaneous impacts of snow cover and seasonal freeze-thaw layer is larger than that of either snow cover or seasonal freeze-thaw layer. There are three significant correlation zones extending from north to south: the north zone spreads from Mt. Daxinganling to the Hexi Corridor, crossing northern Mt. Taihang and northern Shannxi; the central zone covers middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River; and the south zone extends from Mt. Wuyi to Yunnan and Guizhou Plateau through Mt. Nanling.     

青藏高原近40年来的降水变化特征

利用我国青藏高原地区的1961-2000年56个气象站的逐月降水资料,通过计算降水量的距平百分率,分析了青藏高原自1961至2000年以来降水量变化的趋势和1961-2000年以来各季降水量变化趋势,发现:青藏高原近40年来降水量呈增加趋势,降水量的线性增长率约为1.12mm/a。再将高原划分为四个季节,分析了各季40年来的降水量的变化情况得出:春季降水量年际变化较大,秋季降水量变化不明显。夏季降水量值较大而降水变化幅度较小,冬季降水量变化则与夏季相反。通过将青藏高原分为南北两个地区,分析了两个区的年降水量和四个季节的降水量的变化得出:高原南区1961-2000年降水量呈增加的趋势,降水量的线增长率为1.97 mm/a,春季和冬季降水量年际变化较大,夏季降水量变化不明显,秋季降水量略有增加;北区年降水量和夏季的降水量变化较小,秋季降水量的年际变化较大,冬季降水量变化最大。对青藏高原的南北两区用Mann-Kendall方法进行突变分析,显示高原南区分别在1978年和1994年发生突变,北区没有发现突变。     

东亚夏季风推进过程的气候特征及其年代际变化

利用1951~2001年NECP的逐日再分析资料及中国东部366站1957~2000年逐日降水资料,提出东亚夏季风推进过程的定量指标,分析东亚夏季风推进过程的年代际变化。结果表明：标准降水指数为1.5的等值线较好反映了中国东部夏季雨带的南北移动,以及雨带推进过程中呈现的阶段性与突变性特征。东亚夏季风的推进过程具有显著年代际变化,与夏季风前沿位置有关的指标在20世纪60年代中期前后发生显著变化,与夏季风推进强度有关的指标则在70年代末出现突变。60年代中期前,南海夏季风的建立时间较迟,但北推较快,夏季风前沿到达华北地区时间较早,在华北地区维持时间长,夏季风的北界位置偏北,华北雨季、淮河梅雨明显。70年代末以后南海夏季风的建立时间较早,夏季风前沿附近南风强度明显偏弱,降水主要集中在长江流域及其以南地区,华北雨季不明显。

青海三江源地区是中国生态系统最为敏感和脆弱的地区,其降水特别是生长季降水的波动,是影响本区及江河中下游水资源安全、生态系统可持续发展的关键因素。综合线性趋势、Mann-Kendall检验、BG分割算法、R/S、EEMD等多方法细致辨识了1960-2015年研究区降水量序列的时空特征。结果显示：① 三江源降水量总体呈现弱增趋势,21世纪以来降水量显著增加,各子源区气候倾向率不尽相同;② 年、季降水量自东南向西北递减,澜沧江源区夏季降水和黄河源区秋季降水呈弱减趋势,雨量弱减区在空间上呈斑块状分布;③ 年、季降水量年代际变化和增湿率的空间差异较明显,春夏季降水气候倾向率与经纬度、海拔的复相关性显著高于冬季;④ 20世纪90年代中后期,各子源区降水总体显现增强信号,并于2002年前后发生突变;⑤ 年际和低值年代际显著周期是造成降水量变动的主要因素;⑥ 除澜沧江源区夏季降水趋于减少外,其他年、季降水量变化呈现增幅不一的转湿趋势;⑦ 横向比较各子源区可见,长江源区降水变化更能表征高原气候变化。研究结果显示,研究区降水时空序列变化具有明显的区域和季节差异性特征,与以往类似研究存在些许差异,可见为有效提高气候序列演变过程及突变诊断的准确性,仍需进一步融合多方法实施集成分析。     

Changing features of extreme precipitation in the Yangtze River basin during 1961-2002

The total precipitation of the highest 1 day, 3 day, 5 day and 7 day precipitation amount (R1D, R3D, R5D and R7D) in the Yangtze River basin was analyzed with the help of linear trend analysis and continuous wavelet transform method. The research results indi-cated that: 1) Spatial distribution of R1D is similar in comparison with that of R3D, R5D and R7D. The Jialingjiang and Hanjiang river basins are dominated by decreasing trend, which is significant at >95% confidence level in Jialingjiang River basin and insignificant at >95% con-fidence level in Hanjiang River basin. The southern part of the Yangtze River basin and the western part of the upper Yangtze River basin are dominated by significant increasing trend of R1D extreme precipitation at >95% confidence level. 2) As for the R3D, R5D and R7D, the western part of the upper Yangtze River basin is dominated by significant increasing trend at >95% confidence level. The eastern part of the upper Yangtze River basin is dominated by decreasing trend, but is insignificant at >95% confidence level. The middle and lower Yangtze River basin is dominated by increasing trend, but insignificant at >95% confidence level. 3) The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events are intensified over time. Pre-cipitation anomalies indicated that the southeastern part, southern part and southwestern part of the Yangtze River basin are dominated by positive extreme precipitation anomalies be-tween 1993–2002 and 1961–1992. The research results of this text indicate that the occurrence probability of flash flood is higher in the western part of the upper Yangtze River basin and the middle and lower Yangtze River

江河源区NDVI时空变化及其与气候因子的关系(英文)

The source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers are important water conservation areas of China. In recent years, ecological deterioration trend of the source regions caused by global climate change and unreasonable resource development increased gradually. In this paper, the spatial distribution and dynamic change of vegetation cover in the source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers are analyzed in recent 10 years based on 1-km resolution multitemporal SPOTVGT-DN data from 1998 to 2007. Meanwhile, the correlation relationships between air temperature, precipitation, shallow ground temperature and NDVI, which is 3×3 pixel at the center of Wudaoliang, Tuotuohe, Qumalai, Maduo, and Dari meteorological stations were analyzed. The results show that the NDVI values in these two source regions are increasing in recent 10 years. Spatial distribution of NDVI which was consistent with hydrothermal condition decreased from southeast to northwest of the source regions. NDVI with a value over 0.54 was mainly distributed in the southeastern source region of the Yellow River, and most NDVI values in the northwestern source region of the Yangtze River were less than 0.22. Spatial changing trend of NDVI has great difference and most parts in the source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers witnessed indistinct change. The regions with marked increasing trend were mainly distributed on the south side of the Tongtian River, some part of Keqianqu, Tongtian, Chumaer, and Tuotuo rivers in the source region of the Yangtze River and Xingsuhai, and southern Dari county in the source region of the Yellow River. The regions with very marked increasing tendency were mainly distributed on the south side of Tongtian Rriver and sporadically distributed in hinterland of the source region of the Yangtze River. The north side of Tangula Range in the source region of the Yangtze River and Dari and Maduo counties in the source region of the Yellow River were areas in which NDVI changed with marked decreasing tendency. The NDVI change was980 Journal of Geographical Sciences positively correlated with average temperature, precipitation and shallow ground temperature. Shallow ground temperature had the greatest effect on NDVI change, and the second greatest factor influencing NDVI was average temperature. The correlation between NDVI and shallow ground temperature in the source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers increased significantly with the depth of soil layer.
