Experiments in numerical modelling of the Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies

By using the atmosphere-ocean coupled model (CGCM) which is composed of a 2-level global atmospheric general circulation model and a 4-layer Pacific oceanic general circulation model developed in the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and two model climatological fields got from the two independent models' numerical integrations respectively, the Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) from 1988 to 1989 are simulated in this paper with observed atmospheric general circulation data and sea surface temperature fields as initial conditions and monthly coupling scheme. In order to remove systematic biases of the model climatological fields, interaction variables between atmosphere and ocean are also corrected simultaneously. The experiments show that the simulation results can be improved effectively if these interaction variables are corrected in spite of the fact that there always exist systematic biases in independent numerical simulations of atmospheric part and oc     

Is the interdecadal variation of the summer rainfall over eastern China associated with SST?

The present study examined the major features of the interdecadal variation of the summer rainfall over eastern China (IVRC) and the possible association with sea surface temperature (SST). We noted that the first leading mode of IVRC (accounting for nearly half of the total variance and with maximum loading for the summer rainfall anomalies over South China) may be not forced by SST. On the other hand, the second and third leading modes [accounting for 17.1 and 13.6 % of the total variance and mainly associated with the summer rainfall anomalies over the Yangtze River valley (YRV) and North China, respectively] in some extent are forced by SST anomalies. These observational results are confirmed by atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations forced by observed SST. By eliminating the internal dynamical process driven rainfall though ensemble mean, the simulations further suggest an overall enhancement of the intensity of IVRC in the corresponding ensemble mean, especially in the YRV and North China regions, but not in South China. That implies the different role of SST in driving IVRC over different regions.     

利用地形正规化校正反立体现象

影像目视判读常会遇到山脊与沟谷的凹凸感与现实相反的反立体现象。消除反立体现象,能有效提高非专业人员对遥感影像的正确使用。立足于反立体现象的成因,本文采用地形正规化模型来校正影像的反立体现象,推导出Lambertian、Cosine-Civco、c校正、b校正这4种地形正规化模型的反立体校正式;对这4种地形正规化模型的反立体校正效果进行了对比,并且与其他5种校正法也进行了对比。通过3个实验区的校正发现,这4种地形正规化模型均能校正反立体现象,但校正影像存在色调偏差;Lambertian、Cosine-Civco的反立体校正影像立体感较强,但影像色调改变较大,视觉效果偏差;c校正、b校正的校正影像在视觉效果和定量指标上都比较接近,基本保持地物光谱信息,校正效果相对较好。从定量指标来看,b校正的反立体校正影像的各指标值整体最小,一定程度代表b校正能取得相对较好的反立体校正效果。与其他方法的对比表明,c校正和b校正的反立体校正不局限于波段个数,在有效消除反立体现象的同时,能相对较好的保留地物光谱信息,有利于影像的定量应用。     

基于TOUGHREACT的成矿过程化学反应数值模拟——以虎头崖铅锌多金属矿床为例

虎头崖铅锌多金属矿床是青海省祁漫塔格成矿带中典型的矽卡岩型矿床。本文基于前人对该矿区地质特征、矿物学和地球化学特征等方面的研究成果，利用TOUGHREACT数值模拟软件，针对石英-晚期硫化物成矿阶段进行成矿过程化学反应数值模拟研究。通过建立地质概念模型和网格化物化参数的设置，在设置的时间步长内对多相流体流动和热对流传导、溶质运移以及地球化学反应过程进行模拟计算，研究了矿区内不同温压条件下成矿元素化学平衡浓度变化的总体趋势以及对方铅矿和闪锌矿矿物溶解沉淀情况的影响。结果表明：当温度从250℃降至155℃时，Pb²⁺的化学平衡浓度出现骤减；当温度从300℃降至100℃时，Zn²⁺的化学平衡浓度出现骤减；由于矿物的沉淀需要消耗大量相关的成矿元素，方铅矿和闪锌矿最佳成矿温度范围分别为155℃~250℃和100℃~300℃；不同温度和压力对成矿元素化学平衡浓度影响不同，温度是控制方铅矿和闪锌矿沉淀化学反应的核心因素，压力的影响较小。模拟结果与传统地质解译结果相对符合，证明了模拟的有效性。

顾及GRACE季节影响的华北平原水储量变化反演

基于移去-恢复方法,利用GRACE卫星重力数据研究了华北平原2003年1月—2014年6月的陆地水变化,提出了一种顾及季节影响尺度因子计算方法,用于减小GRACE后处理误差。将本文方法所得结果与水文模式和降水模型结合进行比较分析,结果表明：2008年之前华北平原发生比较明显的干旱现象,陆地水和地表水分别以（-7.9±2.4）mm/a和（-7.3±2.8）mm/a的速度下降,但地下水仅以（-0.6±1.4）mm/a的速度减少;2008年之后,陆地水和地表水分别以（4.3±1.3）mm/a和（10.9±2.1）mm/a的速度上升,期间地下水的超采严重,平均以（-6.5±1.2）mm/a的速度下降,但下降速度以0.9 mm/a²的趋势减缓。研究期间内,华北平原的陆地水、地表水和地下水整体分别呈现（-2.0±0.6）、（2.9±0.7）和（-4.8±0.7）mm/a的变化趋势。最后,利用交叉小波谱分析了GRACE滞后于降水的现象。研究结论表明,降水和地下水开采是影响华北平原水储量变化的两大决定性因素。

对比分析利用涡度距平法提出的2022年1月8日青海门源 M_S6.9 地震震前射出长波辐射(OLR)短期异常分布和震后InSAR技术提取的门源地震同震形变空间分布,结果显示,震前红外辐射增强区与InSAR同震破裂形变区的空间位置基本吻合,扩展形式基本相似(同震破裂形变区分布在红外辐射异常区内部)。在震前的全国范围OLR空间分布上,仅青海德令哈—西宁—甘肃武威一带出现了呈“哑铃”状近WE向展布的OLR热辐射增强区,空间可辨识度高,OLR异常时空演化过程遵循了岩石应力加载破裂过程中的热异常规律,显示热异常变化与应力变化存在关联; InSAR技术提取的同震形变同样位于肃南—祁连断裂(俄堡段)、托莱山断裂和冷龙岭断裂的交汇区。InSAR同震形变结果揭示了地表形变以水平方向为主,断层运动具有典型的走滑变形特征。InSAR同震形变结果为红外遥感反映地震形变提供可检验的地质实体监测证据,验证了门源地震前辐射增强异常是地震构造地应力强度变化的遥感物理参量反映。     

Statistical downscaling of reference evapotranspiration in Haihe River Basin: applicability assessment and application to future projection

Future changes in reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) are of increasing importance in assessing the potential impacts on hydrology and water resources systems of more pronounced climate change. This study assesses the applicability of the Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM) in projecting ET₀, and investigates the seasonal and spatial patterns of future ET₀ based on general circulation models (GCMs) across the Haihe River Basin. The results indicate that SDSM can downscale ET₀ well in term of different basin-averaged measures for the HadCM3 and CGCM3 GCMs. HadCM3 has a much superior capability in capturing inter-annual variability compared to CGCM3 and thus is chosen as the sole model to assess the changes in future ET₀. There are three homogeneous sub-regions of the Haihe River Basin: Northwest, Northeast and Southeast. Change points are detected at around 2050 and 2080 under the A2 and B2 scenarios, respectively. The Northwest is revealed to have a slight to strong increase in ET₀, while the Northeast and the Southeast tend to experience a pattern change from decrease to increase in ET₀.

广东湛江南美白对虾价值链实证研究

文章采用实地调研法对广东湛江2018—2019年南美白对虾价值链的价值活动、增值结构及其形成原因进行深入剖析。研究发现:①在湛江南美白对虾价值链的育苗、养殖、批发和零售等环节中,养殖环节增值贡献率最高,为50.5%,利润分配最低仅25.6%;零售环节增值率低,仅为31.1%,利润比例分配却最高,高达51.8%;②造成养殖户投入高、收益低的原因包括养殖成本高、苗种质量不稳定、养殖户组织化程度低、议价能力差等。鉴于以上原因,建议：实行集约化和规模化养殖;加强种苗研发,提高种苗质量;大力发展专业合作社,提高养殖户议价能力;调节对虾价值链的利润合理分配,以促进渔民增收和产业健康发展。     

An analysis of prediction skill of monthly mean climate variability

In this paper, lead-time and spatial dependence in skill for prediction of monthly mean climate variability is analyzed. The analysis is based on a set of extensive hindcasts from the Climate Forecast System at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. The skill characteristics of initialized predictions is also compared with the AMIP simulations forced with the observed sea surface temperature (SST) to quantify the role of initial versus boundary conditions in the prediction of monthly means. The analysis is for prediction of monthly mean SST, precipitation, and 200-hPa height. The results show a rapid decay in skill with lead time for the atmospheric variables in the extratropical latitudes. Further, after a lead-time of approximately 30?C40?days, the skill of monthly mean prediction is essentially a boundary forced problem, with SST anomalies in the tropical central/eastern Pacific playing a dominant role. Because of the larger contribution from the atmospheric internal variability to monthly time-averages (compared to seasonal averages), skill for monthly mean prediction associated with boundary forcing is also lower. The analysis indicates that the prospects of skillful prediction of monthly means may remain a challenging problem, and may be limited by inherent limits in predictability.
