采用树轮稳定碳同位素重建贺兰山1890年以来夏季(6~8月)气温

贺兰山油松稳定碳同位素分析结果表明, 当年6~8月的平均气温越高, 树轮a-纤维素中的d13C值则越高; 反之, 6~8月的平均气温越低, δ¹³C值越低. 在此基础上, 采用转换函数对贺兰山地区夏季6~8月气温进行了模拟重建, 重建序列的解释方差为34.9% (F = 15.01, p<0.001). 中国夏季(6~8月)的最高气温时段(20世纪20年代后期至30年代)在重建序列中被证实. 同时1910年以来贺兰山地区夏季气温与热带太平洋海温遥相对应, 尤其是1920年前后、1947年前后的极端低温时段与热带太平洋海温的冷气候态非常一致. 表明贺兰山地区气候信号不仅含有区域特征, 同时也受全球大尺度气候变化的影响. 功率谱分析表明, 贺兰山地区夏季(6~8月)气温存在2.56~2.63 a的准周期.     

Reconstruction of summer temperature (June-August) at Mt. Helan, China, from tree-ring stable carbon isotope values since AD 1890

From stable carbon isotope analysis of tree-rings of Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) from Mt. Helan, China, we found that high-δ13C values were related to high mean temperatures from June to August (T68), and low-δ 13C values corresponded to low T68. From these data, a transfer function has been used to reconstruct summer temperatures (T68) for the Mt. Helan region. The explained variance of reconstruction is 34.9% (F=15.01, p<0.001). The time period containing the highest summer temperatures in northern China (late 1920-1930s) was confirmed by our reconstruction. The data indicate that there is a tele-connection between summer temperatures in Mt. Helan area and sea-surface-temperatures in the tropical Pacific. The extreme low temperature periods around the years of 1920 and 1947 for Mt. Helan region correspond well to the cold climate in the tropical Pacific. Along with other analyses, this suggests that climate variations in the Mt. Helan region are driven not only by local events, but also by the global climate. Significant periodicities appearing in the reconstruction are 2.56 and 2.63 years.
