影响中尺度对流系统移动的知识发现

空间数据挖掘是近年来迅速发展起来的面向应用的新技术。运用1998年夏季日本静止气象卫星(GMS) 探测反演出的红外辐射亮温资料和国家卫星气象中心高分辨率有限区域分析预报系统产品中的数值格点预报资料 (HLAFS) 对青藏高原上的中尺度对流系统 (MCS) 进行了自动追踪。在此基础上,运用空间关联规则研究了移出高原的MCS与其环境场之间的关系,结果表明, 在400 hPa这一层次,等压面高度、相对湿度、涡度、散度、垂直速度这5 个物理量是影响其移出高原的主要因子;而在500 hPa 层次,移出高原的MCS与等压面高度、相对湿度、温度、垂直速度和K指数关系密切。     

6·30文山州大到暴雨成因分析

利用文山降水资料、乡镇雨量站资料、M icaps相关格点资料和雷达降水回波资料,分析高空环流形式、卫星云图和雷达回波资料,借助G rads绘图工具进行相关物理量场:比湿、水汽通量散度、假相当位温、K指数、SI、垂直速度场和涡度场的分析计算,探讨文山2007年6月30日大到暴雨的形成原因,以期对本地区大到暴雨预警预报和气象服务提供参考依据。     

陇东短时强降水与冰雹天气对比分析及预报方法研究

利用2008-2014年短时强降水和冰雹资料建成样本,通过对强对流天气诊断分析,建立了陇东地区强对流天气概念模型,归纳了两种强对流天气的物理量阈值,并对阈值进行了检验。结果表明:切变线是产生陇东地区短时强降水和冰雹的主要低层影响系统,低层700 h Pa有切变线产生短时强降水的个例比产生冰雹的个例多;物理量参数如△T_(700-500)、0℃、-20℃高度层、大气可降水量、700 h Pa比湿、K指数、θse500、θse700、0~6 km垂直风切变在冰雹与短时强降水天气中存在明显差异,可较好的区分两种强对流天气;其阈值指标对陇东地区的强对流天气有较好的预报效果。     

1955—2021年黄土高原地区相对湿度时空演变规律

黄土高原是我国气候变化敏感区，研究该区相对湿度(RH)时空演变及其与地理因子、气象要素之间的关系，有利于全面了解黄土高原气候变化规律。基于黄土高原及其周边地区90个气象站点逐日RH观测资料，利用趋势分析、敏感性分析和空间插值等方法，分析了1960—2021年及生态工程实施前后RH变化特征。结果表明：(1)时间上，黄土高原地区年均RH为57.66%，以-0.376%·(10a)^-1速率显著减少(P<0.05)，经历了“减弱-增强-减弱”年代际变化特征；除秋季以微弱幅度增大外，其他季节皆呈减少趋势，且减少幅度春季最高[-0.945%·(10a)^-1]，冬季最少[-0.194%·(10a)^-1]。(2)空间上，黄土高原年及春夏秋季平均RH皆呈自南向北逐渐降低，而冬季表现为南部最高、中北部自东向西逐渐降低；年均及四季平均RH变化趋势空间态势各异。(3)在黄土高原生态工程实施后，年及春夏冬季平均RH不同程度减少，年及夏冬季的趋势变化皆由增大转为减少；所有时序RH均值及趋势变化的空间特征存在较大差异，最典型的趋势变化组合类型是...     

2008年秋季桂西北两次强降雨过程对比分析

利用常规资料、雷达回波等资料,用天气学原理及中尺度分析方法,对2008年秋季发生在桂西北的两次强降水过程的影响系统、物理量场和卫星云图特征进行对比分析,结果表明:(1)高空槽加深东移引导冷空气南下和西太平洋副热带高压的维持是造成这两次强降水的主要环流背景。(2)高空槽东移引导南下的冷空气和副热带高压是这两次强降水的主要影响系统。(3)中低层辐合上升运动加剧了气流的扰动,为两次强降水过程提供了动力条件。(4)副热带高压西侧偏西南气流引导下的热带云团是两次过程的主要水汽来源,FY2C相当黑体亮温的强亮温区与桂西北强降水落区有很好的对应关系。     

近40年青藏高原主要生物温度指标的变化趋势

以最热月均温、最冷月均温、≥0℃积温及其日数、≥5℃积温及其日数和≥10℃积温及其日数作为生物温度指标的代表,应用青藏高原地区1966~2005年共87个气象站点逐日观测资料,分析其变化趋势。结果显示:最热月均温与最冷月均温整体均呈上升趋势,而最冷月均温的上升幅度明显大于最热月均温的上升幅度,空间上两者呈非对称变化。≥10℃积温、≥5℃积温和≥0℃积温增幅依次增大,其日数的变化是,≥5℃积温日数增幅最大,≥10℃积温日数次之,≥0℃积温日数最小。总体而言,近40年来青藏高原温度变化为增加趋势,植被的最佳生态空间及生态地理区域界线可能会发生不同程度的变动,生态系统的结构和功能可能也需要进行相应的调整来适应温度的变化。     

青藏高原干旱度指数对气候因子变化的响应（英文）

在气候变化条件下,干旱如何发生改变仍然没有搞清楚。量化干旱与气候因子之间的关系是预测全球气候变化背景下未来干旱风险发生的关键。本文对2000?2011年青藏高原年干旱严重度指数(DSI)与气候因子的相关性进行了研究。空间平均DSI随降水量的增加及相对湿度降低而增加,随日照的增加而减少。DSI与气候因子的相关程度随植被类型的不同而不同。以高寒草甸为例,空间DSI平均值与日照百分率(SP)和日照时数(SH)的相关程度(P0.001)高于高寒草原(P0.05);在高山草原,空间DSI平均值与平均水汽压(Ea)和最低相对湿度(MIRH)的相关性不显著,但在高山草甸为极显著水平或显著水平以上(P0.05)。DSI的变化幅度随温度、降水和水汽压的增加而减小,随风速和日照的增加而增大。因此,要弄清干旱与气候变化的关系,需要进一步考虑青藏高原的生态系统类型及其局地气候。     

毛乌素沙漠边缘地区春末夏初沙尘暴天气的物理量场结构

沙尘暴天气是毛乌素沙漠边缘内蒙古、甘肃、宁夏、陕西等地区春末夏初特有的一种灾害性天气。应用欧洲中心再分析资料的气压场和各种物理量场,选取了5个沙尘暴个例,分析了沙尘暴时期各层气压场的特征和物理量的空间结构。结果表明：蒙古高压是影响沙尘暴的主要天气系统。在沙尘暴发生时,蒙古高压前部整层都为宽广而强劲的西北气流,从地面可伸展到200 hPa附近,其物理属性是干、冷,其前部近乎于东北—西南向的区域,是锋区的密集带,也是各种物理量表现最为敏感的区域,垂直速度场为上升运动区,涡度场为正涡度区,高—低层散度差值场为正值,这些物理量都为沙尘暴的发生起到了推动和加强作用。     

青藏高原近30年气候变化趋势

以1971~2000年青藏高原77个气象台站的观测数据 (最低、最高气温,日照时数,相对湿度,风速和降水量) 为基础,应用1998年FAO推荐的Penman-Monteith模型,并根据我国实际状况对其辐射项进行修正,模拟了青藏高原1971~2000年的最大可能蒸散,并由Vyshotskii模型转换为干燥度,力求说明近30年青藏高原的气候变化趋势,以及干湿状况的空间分布。应用线性回归法计算变化趋势,并用Mann-Kendall方法进行趋势检验。结果表明：青藏高原近30年气候变化的总体特征是气温呈上升趋势,降水呈增加趋势,最大可能蒸散呈降低趋势,大多数地区的干湿状况有由干向湿发展的趋势。气候因子与地表干湿状况间并不是线性关系,存在很大的不确定性。     

“2017.6.28”昆明大暴雨过程诊断分析

利用常规观测资料、卫星、雷达和NCEP/NCAR1°×1°再分析资料,对2017年6月28~29日发生在昆明北部局地性大暴雨过程进行诊断分析。结果表明:此次昆明北部大暴雨发生的大尺度环流背景是辐合区和低空切变线。低空急流为暴雨区提供了充足水汽和不稳定能量,丰富的水汽含量和强的水汽辐合有利于强降水的发生。θ_(se(500-800))和TBB等值线密集区的对流云团发展旺盛,暴雨区出现68.5 mm·h~(-1)的短时强降水。多普勒雷达速度图显示,中尺度辐合区、逆风区等多个中尺度系统,是此次暴雨产生的直接影响系统。

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.
