东江流域近50年旱涝时空演变特征

基于东江流域57个站点1957~2010年逐月降雨数据,对比分析SPI和Z指数两种方法在流域旱涝等级划分中的应用,揭示流域近50 a来旱涝时空分布特征及其变化趋势。结果表明:1 SPI和Z指数两种方法计算旱涝指标所得结果差异度较小,均能较好地反映流域历史实际旱涝状况,Z指数对极端旱涝等级具有更好的指示作用;2近50 a来,流域各年代旱涝交替明显,偏涝和重涝多于偏旱和重旱;3流域汛期、非汛期和全年旱涝分布形态在空间上有较好的一致性;4近50 a来,流域总体上呈"北旱南涝"的旱涝变化趋势空间格局。     

河南省气候变化特征及其对旱涝的影响

根据河南省21个气象站点1960-2013年的气温和降水资料,运用趋势线法、Mann-Kendall突变检验、Z指数法、马尔科夫模型、经验正交函数分解等研究了河南省气候变化特征及其对旱涝的影响。结果表明:(1)河南省气温呈现上升趋势,气温突变点是1997年;降水量呈现弱减少趋势。气温从南部向北部逐步降低,中部地区增温趋势明显;降水量由东南向西北逐步减少,中东部地区呈现增加趋势,北部、西部、南部呈现减少趋势。(2)河南省干旱化趋势不断加重。气温变化与旱涝发生次数具有同步性。气温突变点1997年前后对比发现,极端涝灾发生次数明显减少,极端旱灾发生次数明显增加。运用马尔科夫模型预测旱涝随时间变化的趋势,河南省以正常状态概率最大,旱灾状态概率大于涝灾。(3)河南省主要的旱涝空间分布型态分别为整体一致型、南北反位相型、东西反位相型。年际旱涝趋势空间变化与降水量趋势空间变化基本一致;春季的变干趋势从北部向南部逐步加重;夏季的增湿趋势,从西华-南阳一线,分别向东南和西北逐步减轻;秋季整个区域有变干趋势;冬季的增湿趋势从西南向东北逐步加重。     

近40年来塔里木河流域旱涝的气候变化

以Mann-Kendall检验、z指数变换、最大熵谱和气候趋势系数方法分析塔里木河流域降水突变、旱涝等级、旱涝周期与趋势的时空变化。结果表明:近40年来,流域各段的降水量都有增加的趋势,且存在突变,从源流区至下游突变时间依次提前;20世纪60年代流域干旱多,旱情较重;70~80年代中期属于转换期,出现旱情和涝情较重;80年代后期以后干旱明显减少,雨涝居多,涝情重;90年代中期以来,下游趋势与其余区域不同;准3年周期是流域各段最重要的变化周期。近40年来,上游变湿显著,源流区和中游不显著,下游有微弱变湿趋势;NAO对中上游旱涝影响显著,对全流域影响较大。     

近159 年东亚夏季风年代际变化与中国东部旱涝分布

利用1850-2008 年我国东部地区90 个测站的旱涝等级和北半球夏季海平面气压格点等资料,使用BP 典型相关等方法,分析了近159 年旱涝等级与东亚夏季海平面气压的耦合相关关系。利用关键区域的海平面气压资料,定义出与我国东部旱涝分布有密切联系的东亚夏季风指数,在此基础上分析了东亚夏季风年代际变化对我国东部旱涝分布的影响。结果表明：(1) 近159 年中国东部旱涝具有4 种典型空间分布型,即华南与中国东部其他地区旱涝趋势相反型、黄淮地区与长江流域及其以南旱涝趋势相反型、江淮流域与中国东部其他地区旱涝趋势相反型和中国东部与西部旱涝趋势相反型。近159 年东亚夏季海平面气压场主要呈现亚洲大陆与西太平洋海平面气压强弱相反的分布特征;(2) 本文定义的夏季风指数的年代际变化与我国东部旱涝典型分布型的年代际变化有密切关系,但两者的相关关系并不是稳定不变的,存在显著的年代际位相差异,即20 世纪20 年代之前,当东亚夏季风偏强(弱) 时,长江流域以北容易偏旱(偏涝),长江流域及其以南容易偏涝(偏旱),20 世纪20 年代以后,当东亚夏季风偏强(弱) 时,长江流域以北容易偏涝(偏旱),长江流域及其以南容易偏旱(偏涝)。可见,使用较长年代资料进行考察,研究结论丰富了大多数使用近50-60 年资料的研究结果。东亚夏季风与我国东部旱涝分布之间关系的年代际位相差异,可能与东亚夏季风对太阳活动等外强迫的非线性反馈相联系     

千河流域近540 a来旱涝灾害变化规律研究

 通过收集整理千河流域1470-2009年旱涝灾害资料,结合滑动平均、累积距平,以及小波变换处理等方法,分析了千河流域近540 a来旱涝灾害变化规律。研究结果表明:千河流域旱涝灾害交替频繁,具有明显阶段性与周期性规律。通过11 a滑动平均和累积距平分析,可以将千河流域历史旱涝灾害分为3个阶段,在此基础上,又可分为7个明显的偏旱或偏涝时期。另外,由小波分析得出,千河流域近540 a来的旱涝灾害具有明显的周期变化,并且与太阳活动周期有着密切的联系。而且千河流域历史旱涝灾害的发生与我国西北地区,尤其是关中地区旱涝灾害发生规律具有明显的相关性。这对了解千河流域旱涝灾害发生规律和制订防灾减灾措施等具有重要的现实意义。     

山东历史时期冷暖旱涝状况分析

本文利用山东历史时期冬温指数、水旱指数序列,分析了近500多年来山东冷暖旱涝状况。主要结论是:山东气候存在着明显的冷暖干湿变化,冷暖变化为四暖三冷,干湿变化为四湿四干。旱涝灾害频繁,旱涝发生频率为44%,且在区域和季节上表现出不均匀性。全省范围的大旱大涝随时间有增加趋势。冷暖波动与旱涝变化关系密切,冷的时期涝灾较多,且存在地区和季节差异。     

1644-2009年黄河中游旱涝序列重建与特征诊断

据清代各县级政区的历史沿革,及现存历史文献资料的详细程度,选取黄河中游18个代表站点,在提高空间分辨率的基础上,采用旱涝等级法与面积加权法重建了1644-2009年各站点旱涝等级序列。利用小波分析、累积距平、滑动t-检验等方法,检测了全区过去366年旱涝发生的周期、阶段性和突变点。结果显示:旱涝序列存在21年、70年、114年左右的多年代际尺度周期信号;1644-1683年、1737-1775年、1885-1921年为多雨期,1684-1736年、1776-1814年、1922-2001年为少雨期;目前黄河中游开始进入雨涝多发期;1815-1895年旱涝波动频繁,气候进入不稳定期;过去366年存在2个由干旱转为雨涝期的气候突变点,分别位于1723-1726和1814-1816年。     

西南地区冬季旱涝特征及其与北极涛动关系

利用1951-2010年我国西南地区内32站月平均降水资料及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,对西南地区冬季旱涝时空分布特征及其与北极涛动(AO)的关系进行了研究分析.结果表明:近60a西南地区冬季降水量和旱涝事件平均发生频次均呈东南向西北递减分布,其中滇、黔、桂交界处和四川南部为降水偏多事件多发区,而渝、滇西南、黔东部及四川盆地是干旱事件多发区,特旱事件的发生概率也较高,并有逐年增加的趋势;冬季旱涝以周期为12 a、8 a左右的低频振荡最为显著,近几年均处于负位相;冬季AO与西南地区同期降水呈显著的正相关,AO异常偏强(弱)时,则西南地区降水异常偏多(少).     

北京地区旱涝变化规律及其预测试验

本文提出用年旱涝指数来研究气候变化规律,具有一定的物理意义及代表性。对北京地区旱涝变化规律分析表明:有5年及22年周期变化规律。 在旱涝预测方面,本文还提出一种新的时间序列预测方法——周期模式法,它较之传统的方差分析方法具有较多的优越性。用它对北京地区年度旱涝趋势作预测试验。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
