全球海气耦合模式系统(NIM/COAMS)Ⅱ.年际变化的模拟

利用文献[1]建立的全球海气耦合模式系统（NIM／COAMS），对模式的年际变化模拟能力进行了检验。50a积分显示，模式模拟出了大气和海洋界面的主要年际变率，能真实地模拟热带太平洋ENSO循环的主要特征，较好地再现了ENSO循环的过程，循环周期在3—5a之间，与实际观测值一致，同时模式也较好地反映了大气和海洋的耦合特征，对年际变化有较强的模拟能力，这与FRAC耦合方案设计有关，该方法能避免气候场的牵制作用，增强模式对年际变化的模拟能力。     

季风指数及其年际变化II·南海夏季风分量动能强度指数及其年际变化

计算了各年南海夏季风建立前后流场的场相似度、场比幅、季风分量动能强度指数和突变度。指出按变差度最大或相似度绝对值最小及其变化最陡以及比幅最小,可客观定量地定出季风来临的预兆日期,在大多年份该日期比用天气气候学方法得到的季风来临(爆发)日期要早些,且两者有较好正相关。绝大多数年份季风建立时有环流突变发生,但也有少数年份呈调和变化或二次突变。季风分量动能强度指数能够反映各年南海夏季风建立后的强度。最后分析指出,南海850 hPa夏季风的前兆日期,突变度和强度指数都有明显的年际和年代际变化。     

PROCESS OF TRANSITION BETWEEN COLD AND WARM PERIODS AND ITS PREDICTION

The oscillation of multi-time scales and the process of transition between cold and warm periods over most parts of China and its 6 regions (the Northeast,North China,Changjiang River Valley,South China,the Southwest,the Northwest) were analyzed with wavelet transformation and by computing the variances of the wavelet components for the temperature grade series during January 1911 to February 2001,The prediction model for cold and warm periods has been developed and the trend of cold and warm change in the coming 10 years is predicted.The results show that the oscillation with periods of around 30-40 years was the strongest in the last 100 years and the 3-year oscillation in both winter and summer was also stronger,especially in winter.The transition time of cold and warm periods in terms of winter mean did not coincide with that of annual mean,but the difference between summer mean and annual mean is less.The processes of transition of 6 regions are somewhat different,their main characteristics are that the beginning year of significant warming for 1980s to 1990s was very different for the southern and the northern part of China.It is found that the stronger oscillation with 3-year period causes cooling in Northeast China in recent several winters.The experimental predictions show that the models used in the paper can project the major transition between high and low temperature periods.     

A 9-year time-series of planktonic foraminifer fluxes and environmental change in the Bering sea and the central subarctic Pacific Ocean, 1990–1999

A 9-year study of planktonic foraminifer fluxes was conducted in the Bering Sea (Station AB) and in the central subarctic Pacific (Station SA). Results clearly reflected variations of the water mass characteristics in the upper layers. The 9-year means of total foraminifer fluxes were the same (1400 shells m⁻² d⁻¹) at both stations. However, total foraminifer flux at Station AB tended to show its primary maximum during fall (October–December) and its secondary maximum in spring (April–June), whereas the primary maximum appeared in spring and the secondary maximum in fall at Station SA. Seasonal variation was more apparent at hemipelagic Station AB than at pelagic Station SA. Planktonic foraminifers found at both stations were of six species: Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, Globigerina umbilicata, Globigerinita glutinata, Globigerina quinqueloba, Globorotalia wilesi, and Orbulina universa. The foraminifer assemblages at the two stations reflected the temperature difference in the surface waters. The variable %G. umbilicata tended to be high in the warm surface waters during the summers. The temporal and geographical variation of %G. quinqueloba indicated that this taxon prefers regions with relatively low diatom fluxes. A notable appearance of O. universa occurred in 1997 at Station SA. During this period, other measured biogenic particle fluxes, such as those of diatoms, were low. This unusual 1997 event may be a reflection of global climatic change that happened to be observed in the central subarctic Pacific Ocean.

利用NCEP NCAR 1950-1999年逐月再分析资料和奇异值分解(SVD)、相关分析等统计方法．分析了东亚冬季风和印度洋太平洋海温在年际尺度上的耦合关系。结果表明，在年际变化尺度上．SVD分解出来的第1模态反映了东亚冬季风与同期太平洋海温之间的主要相互耦合关系，即强(弱)的东亚冬季风对应类似La Nina(El Nino)型的海温距平分布；超前东亚冬季风两个月左右的赤道尔太平洋正(负)海温异常对后期弱(强)东亚冬季风的遥相关影响作用最显著．而弱(强)的东亚冬季风异常则对同期及落后1个月左右的南海正(负)海温异常的强迫影响作用最直接，最显著：东亚冬季风指数与落后1个月左右的热带西太平洋海温有最好的负相关关系，而与同期的热带西印度洋海温有最显著的正相关关系。     

基于遥感的植被年际变化及其与气候关系研究进展

植被具有明显的年际变化和季节变化特点,对植被的动态监测可以从一定程度上反映气候变化的趋势,因此监测植被动态变化以及分析这种变化与气候的关系已经成为全球变化研究的一个重要领域.随着遥感卫星获得长时间系列逐日观测数据,许多国际组织和机构制定了全球卫星数据接收、处理和生成数据集计划,所产生的标准数据集则极大地促进了该项研究.大量研究在全球尺度、洲际尺度（北美洲和欧亚大陆）以及区域尺度上广泛开展.在阅读国内外大量文献的基础上,比较分析了常用于植被监测的卫星传感器和主要数据集,汇总了植被年际变化及其与气候关系研究的主要研究方法和研究结果.结果表明近20年来全球植被活动明显增强,表现为北半球普遍存在增加的趋势,南半球干旱半干旱区出现降低的植被光合作用,但这些变化因空间位置不同和研究尺度不一样体现出不同的动态变化特征.气温和降水是影响植被变化的最主要的因素.     

华西秋雨的空间分型及其特征分析

利用华西地区72个站点1959~2013年秋季(9~11月)降水资料和NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,通过EOF、REOF、MK检验、二阶函数拟合分析、小波分析、合成分析等方法将华西秋雨区划分为南北两个显著区,并对各区域秋雨的时空分布以及旱涝特征进行了详细分析。结果表明:南北两个秋雨区既有共同特征又有个性差异;两者发生突变年份具有明显的一致性,均发生在20世纪80年代中期,年际均存在准6年周期变化,且80年代中期以后南北两个气候区均由年代际降水偏多期转入年代际降水偏少期,但两个秋雨区减少趋势存在明显差异,南区减少较北区显著;北区自2000年后秋雨年际波动明显,秋季降水有缓慢上升趋势,年代际长周期有所差异。影响关键区旱涝特征的大气环流形势与水汽输送特征也存在显著差异,北部型陕甘南区与中高纬度环流系统、北部冷空气以及来自孟加拉湾与西太平洋地区的两支水汽输送通道密切相关,南部型则主要与印缅槽、南支槽的异常活动以及孟加拉湾的水汽输送更为相关。     

The identification of hydrological indices for the characterization of macroinvertebrate community response to flow regime variability

Abstract

The importance of flow regime variability for maintaining ecological functioning and integrity of river ecosystems has been firmly established in both natural and anthropogenically modified systems. River flow regimes across lowland catchments in eastern England are examined using 47 variables, including those derived using the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) software. A principal component analysis method was used to identify redundant hydrological variables and those that best characterized the hydrological series (1986–2005). A small number of variables (<6) characterized up to 95% of the statistical variability in the flow series. The hydrological processes and conditions that the variables represent were found to be significant in structuring the in-stream macroinvertebrate community Lotic-invertebrate Index for Flow Evaluation (LIFE) scores at both the family and species levels. However, hydrological variables only account for a relatively small proportion of the total ecological variability (typically <10%). The research indicates that a range of other factors, including channel morphology and anthropogenic modification of in-stream habitats, structure riverine macroinvertebrate communities in addition to hydrology. These factors need to be considered in future environmental flow studies to enable the characterization of baseline/reference conditions for management and restoration purposes.

不同植被类型的土壤水分对黄土高原的影响

Water stored in deep loess soil is one of the most important resources regulating vegetation growth in the semi-arid area of the Loess Plateau, but planted shrub and forest often disrupt the natural water cycle and in turn influence plant growth. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of main vegetation types on soil moisture and its inter-annual change. Soil moisture in 0–10 m depth of six vegetation types, i.e., crop, grass, planted shrub of caragana, planted forests of arborvitae, pine and the mixture of pine and arborvitae were measured in 2001, 2005 and 2006. Soil moisture in about 0–3 m of cropland and about 0–2 m of other vegetation types varied inter-annually dependent on annual precipitation, but was stable inter-annually below these depths. In 0–2 m, soil moisture of cropland was significantly greater than those of all other vegetation types, and there were no significant differences among other vegetation types. In 2–10 m, there was no significant moisture difference between cropland and grassland, but the soil moistures under both of them were significantly higher than those of planted shrub and forests. The planted shrub and forests had depleted soil moisture below 2 m to or near permanent wilting point, and there were no significant moisture differences among forest types. The soil moisture of caragana shrub was significantly lower than those of forests, but the absolute difference was very small. The results of this study implicated that the planted shrub and forests had depleted deep soil moisture to the lowest limits to which they could extract and they lived mainly on present year precipitation for transpiration.
