Influence of springtime North Atlantic Oscillation on crops yields in Northeast China

Forecasting grain production is of strategic importance in considerations of climate change and growing population. Here we show that the springtime North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is significantly correlated to the year-to-year increment of maize and rice yield in Northeast China (NEC). The physical mechanism for this relationship was investigated. Springtime NAO can induce sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the North Atlantic, which display a tripole pattern and are similar to the empirical mode pattern in spring. The spring Atlantic SSTA pattern that could persists to summer, can trigger a high-level tropospheric Rossby wave response in the Eurasia continent, resulting in atmospheric circulation anomalies over the Siberia-Mongolia region, which is unfavorable (favorable) for cold surges that affect NEC. Weaker (stronger) cold surges can accordingly reduce (increase) cloud amount, resulting in an increase (a decrease) in daily maximum temperature and a decrease (an increase) in daily minimum temperature, thereby leading to an increase (a decrease) in diurnal temperature range. And summer-mean daily minimum temperature and diurnal temperature range are most significantly related to the NEC crop yields.     

A cold air outbreak near Spitsbergen in springtime — Boundary-layer modification and cloud development

A moderate cold air outbreak from the Arctic ice over the warm West-Spitsbergen current on 15 and 16 May 1988 during the field experiment ARKTIS '88 is analysed using data from four aircraft and one research vessel.The downstream development of cloud coverage appears to depend sensitively on the moisture content above the inversion. The cloud amount determines the energy balance at the sea surface. Under daytime conditions and little cloud cover, energy is added to the ocean in spite of sensible and latent heat losses.The downstream temperature increase in the boundary layer is controlled by sensible heat flux and by longwave radiation cooling. The entrainment sensible heat flux is the dominating term in the region near the ice edge. The downstream moisture increase is controlled by surface evaporation. Condensation processes play no significant role.On 16 May 1988 cloud streets near the ice edge changed to closed cloud meanders in the downstream direction. The aspect ratio increased from 3 to around 10 over a distance of 200 km. In the cloud street region, the dynamical generation of turbulent kinetic energy due to wind shear at the tilted inversion was larger than the thermal generation.Cloud droplet concentration, mean droplet radius and liquid water content increased linearly with height. The maximum liquid water content was only 0.1 g/kg near the top of a 400 m thick closed cloud and clearly below the adiabatic value. The net longwave radiation flux decreased by 50 W/m² at cloud top and increased by 13 W/m² at cloud base.     

东北地区夏季气温变化特征分析

采用1951～2003年26个气象台站的夏季气温资料对我国东北地区夏季气温变化特征进行了分析。结果表明:近50多年来我国东北地区夏季气温主要经历了冷期、相对正常期和暖期3个阶段,夏季升温趋势达到0·15℃/10a,远超过全球、北半球、东北亚夏季的增暖程度。其对全球气候变暖的响应,一方面表现在夏季变暖、平均气温升高;另一方面表现在夏季气温变率加大;第三,气候变暖使东北夏季低温冷害明显减少、异常高温气候明显增多,但在变暖形势下局部发生低温冷害的现象仍然存在。     

东北地区夏季干旱的年际—年代际变化特征

利用国家气候中心提供的1951—2012年160个标准站的逐月降水和温度资料,计算了表征东北地区干旱的SPEI指数,并对该指数进行EMSD分解,研究了东北地区干旱的年际—年代际变化特征。结果表明,东北地区夏季干旱年际—年代际变化特征明显,年际变化中具有显著的准2 a、准5 a和准7 a振荡周期;年代际变化中则具有显著的准17 a和22 a振荡周期。进一步分析发现,1975—1984年和1994—2008年为相对干旱阶段,其中1994—2008年旱情比较严重,1953—1975年、1984—1994年以及2009—2012年为相对湿润阶段。Mann-Kendal检验结果表明,东北地区夏季旱涝突变发生在1975年和1994年。     

Interdecadal changes of vegetation transition zones and their responses to climate in Northeast China

According to the concept of ecoclimatic factor??s guarantee rate, this study purposes to quantitatively analyze the interdecadal changes of the four major vegetation transition zones in Northeast China based on the warmth index first developed by Kira and the humidity index put forward by Xu during the period 1961?C2007. On this basis, the responses of the interdecadal changes of vegetation transition zones to climate were analyzed. The results indicated that latitudinal vegetation transition zones had been moving laggingly to higher latitude (shifting upwards in altitude) and that longitudinal vegetation transition zones had been shifting slowly toward humid area in the whole sequence, whereas the shifts were fluctuant in stages. The changes of vegetation transition zones of Northeast China expressed in distribution and bandwidth responded to climate change, not only in the whole sequence but also in stages.     

不同年代际背景下AO与冬季中国东北气温的关系

采用1951—2006年北极涛动指数序列、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料和我国160站气温资料,利用滑动相关分析研究了不同年代际背景下北极涛动与冬季中国东北气温年际异常关系的变化情况。结果表明,两者的关系在20世纪60年代中后期显著增强,在80年代中后期减弱。不同年代际背景下,与AO相关联的中高纬度大气环流异常发生的明显改变是AO与东北冬季气温关系发生年代际变化的原因。强相关年代,西伯利亚高压与阿留申低压均明显减弱,东亚冬季风偏弱,对流层中下层异常东南风控制东北地区,对流层中层东亚大槽明显减弱,环流的经向性减弱,使该地区冬季气温偏高;相关较弱的年代则以上表现不明显。     

东亚—北太平洋大气环流和瞬变扰动的年代际变化

用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,分析了东亚—北太平洋大气环流、大气斜压性和天气尺度瞬变扰动活动的年代际变化特征。东亚—北太平洋地区低层大气温度和比湿及高层的西风急流都存在明显的年代际变化。西风年代际异常与大气斜压性年代际异常之间有密切联系。夏季北太平洋北部到西伯利亚高原上空的天气尺度瞬变扰动活动年代际增强,但夏季低层瞬变热力和瞬变水汽强迫的年代际异常对北太平洋中纬度低层平均温度和比湿年代际异常的作用并不显著。冬季,西太平洋西风急流年代际增强与急流下方大气斜压性年代际增加相一致,使该地区瞬变扰动年代际增强,增强的瞬变扰动将更多能量传送给西风气流,巩固了西风急流的年代际异常。年代际尺度上冬季异常的瞬变热力强迫和瞬变水汽强迫对低层大气温度和比湿异常有显著的削弱作用。

“月相”与冷空气活动预报

据对50年冷空气活动的分析,发现其按农历的概率分布有更明显的不均一性,几个峰值与朔、望、上下弦等月相一致。用近20年资料对“月相调整法”等几种预报方法进行预报检验和x~2检验、t检验的结果表明,考虑月相比不考虑月相准确率高10—20％,差异的显著性也非常明显。 冷空气活动的峰值正好是引潮力最大和引潮力增量跃增的时候。最后,从几种可能的物理联系对引潮力的作用进行了讨论。     

Interdecadal variations of ENSO around 1999/2000

This paper discusses the interdecadal changes of the climate in the tropical Pacific with a focus on the corresponding changes in the characteristics of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Compared with 1979–1999, the whole tropical Pacific climate system, including both the ocean and atmosphere, shifted to a lower variability regime after 1999/2000. Meanwhile, the frequency of ENSO became less regular and was closer to a white noise process. The lead time of the equatorial Pacific's subsurface ocean heat content in preceding ENSO decreased remarkably, in addition to a reduction in the maximum correlation between them. The weakening of the correlation and the shortening of the lead time pose more challenges for ENSO prediction, and is the likely reason behind the decrease in skill with respect to ENSO prediction after 2000. Coincident with the changes in tropical Pacific climate variability, the mean states of the atmospheric and oceanic components also experienced physically coherent changes. The warm anomaly of SST in the western Pacific and cold anomaly in the eastern Pacific resulted in an increased zonal SST gradient, linked to an enhancement in surface wind stress and strengthening of the Walker circulation, as well as an increase in the slope of the thermocline. These changes were consistent with an increase (a decrease) in precipitation and an enhancement (a suppression) of the deep convection in the western (eastern) equatorial Pacific. Possible connections between the mean state and ENSO variability and frequency changes in the tropical Pacific are also discussed.

Dry-wet variations and cause analysis in Northeast China at multi-time scales

Global warming has caused unevenly distributed changes in precipitation and evapotranspiration, which has and will certainly impact on the wet-dry variations. Based on daily meteorological data collected at 91 weather stations in Northeast China (NEC), the spatiotemporal characteristics of dry and wet climatic variables (precipitation, crop reference evapotranspiration (ET₀), and humid index (HI)) are analyzed, and the probable reasons causing the changes in these variables are discussed during the period of 1961–2014. Precipitation showed non-significant trend over the period of 1961–2014, while ET₀ showed a significant decreasing trend, which led to climate wetting in NEC. The period of 2001–2012 exhibited smaller semiarid area and larger humid area compared to the period of 1961–1980, indicating NEC has experienced wetting process at decadal scale. ET₀ was most sensitive to relative humidity, and wind speed was the second most sensitive variable. Sunshine hours and temperature were found to be less influential to ET₀ in the study area. The changes in wind speed in the recent 54 years have caused the greatest influence on ET₀, followed by temperature. For each month, wind speed was the most significant variable causing ET₀ reduction in all months except July. Temperature, as a dominant factor, made a positive contribution to ET₀ in February and March, as well as sunshine hours in June and July, and relative humidity in August and September. In summary, NEC has experienced noticeable climate wetting due to the significantly decreasing ET₀, and the decrease in wind speed was the biggest contributor for the ET₀ reduction. Although agricultural drought crisis is expected to be partly alleviated, regional water resources management and planning in Northeast China should consider the potential water shortage and water conflict in the future because of spatiotemporal dry-wet variations in NEC.     

东北地区冬季气温对海温异常响应的研究

利用HadISST OI海温和中国东北地区92站逐日气温资料,使用广义平衡反馈分析方法(GEFA)结合EOF分析方法(GEFA-EOF)研究了近50a中国东北地区冬季气温对海表温度异常(SSTA)的响应.结果表明:对于热带和北半球中纬度5个海盆来说,东北地区冬季气温异常与同期热带大西洋和北大西洋海温异常有密切关系,与其他海盆关系不显著;热带大西洋的"正—负—正"三极型模态(TA3)以及北大西洋纬向上"正—负—正"三极型模态(NA3)分别对东北地区冬季气温的异常偏低和偏高有显著的强迫作用,且对北部地区的强迫作用大于南部地区.热带大西洋和北大西洋对东北地区冬季气温异常影响的可能途径为:热带大西洋TA3模态通过在北半球激发的"正—负—正"的遥相关波列,致使东亚大槽移至贝加尔湖地区,有利于极地冷空气南下至东北地区,导致该地区的冷冬;北大西洋的"正—负—正"三极型模态(NA3)直接响应使得东亚大槽减弱消失,极地冷空气南下受阻,导致该地区冬季气温异常偏高.     

Interdecadal changes in TC activities that affect Korea

The present study elucidated the fact that remarkable interdecadal variation exists in the time series of the tropical cyclone (TC) frequency that affects Korea during June–October. These variations were identified through statistical change-point analysis, and the results showed that significant variation existed in 1983 and 2004. Therefore, data in 2005 and thereafter were excluded and differences in TC activities during the period after 1983 (1984–2004) and a period before 1983 (1968–1983), as well as differences in large-scale environments were analyzed. During the period of 1984–2004, TCs mainly occurred in the northwest quadrant of the subtropical western North Pacific (SWNP). The TCs move from the east sea of Philippines, pass the East China Sea, recurved, and moved to Korea and Japan. During the period of 1968–1983, TCs occurred in the southeast quadrant of the SWNP and showed a characteristic westward movement from the southeast of Philippines toward the southern coast of China and the Indochina Peninsula. Therefore, the intensity of TCs during the former period, which were supplied with greater heat and water vapor from the sea, were stronger, while TCs during the latter period quickly dissipated after landing in the southern coast of China and the Indochina Peninsula due to the effects of topography. Thus, the lifetimes of the TCs were short and their intensities were weak. The cause of these differences in TC activities between the two periods was identified through differences in stream flows between the 850 hPa level and the 500 hPa level. At the 850 hPa level, anomalous cyclonic (anticyclonic) circulations are reinforced in most waters north (south) to 10° N, and thus, more (fewer) TCs occur in the northwest (southeast) quadrant of the SWNP during the period of 1984–2004 (1968–2003). At the 500 hPa level, since the center of anomalous cyclonic circulation is located in the southeastern region of China southeast to the east sea of the Philippines, anomalous southerlies from the east sea of Philippines to Korea and Japan are predominant. Due to the anomalous steering flows of these anomalous southerlies, the TCs during the period of 1984–2004 show the aforementioned paths. On the other hand, anomalous northerlies or northeasterlies are reinforced in regions in the west of the center of these anomalous cyclonic circulations, and thus, these anomalous steering flows serve the role of preventing TCs from moving toward the southern coast of China the Indochina Peninsula during the period of 1984–2004. During the period of 1984–2004, vertical wind shears and sea surface temperatures are high and low, respectively, in most waters of the SWNP. Therefore, more TCs occur and are reinforced during this period.

Modeling tropospheric ozone formation over East China in springtime

In this study, we investigate the springtime O₃ formation over East China (April 2008) using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model with Chemistry (WRF/Chem). A simple process analysis scheme is added to WRF/Chem, which could calculate the contributions of photochemical and physical processes to O₃ formation. WRF/Chem calculates the hourly 3-D O₃ mixing ratios, photochemical O₃ production rates (CPR) and physical processes contribution rates (PCR) on a two nested domain system, with inner domain focusing on East China. Model evaluation shows that the modeled results agree relatively well with the observations. On the ground level, the high O₃ mixing ratios (>45 ppbv) are located over Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. The O₃ levels over the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and northern Jiangsu are low (<30 ppbv). The distribution patterns of CPR and PCR over East China reveal that the high O₃ mixing ratios over Jiangxi and Fujian are caused by both local photochemical generation and regional transport, while the O₃ concentrations over the YRD region are transported and diffused from surrounding areas. In addition, the contributions of biogenic and anthropogenic emissions as well as the regional transport from domain’s upstream regions are discussed. On average, the biogenic and anthropogenic emissions account for 2.6 and 4.5 ppbv of daytime mean O₃ mixing ratios in East China, respectively.     

1961—2010年我国冷空气的活动特征

利用1960—2010年我国384站逐日温度资料和NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料,分析了我国冷空气活动的频次、强度等特征。结果表明:我国单站冷空气呈北多南少、北强南弱的分布特征。按冷空气活动路径,北方分成3个区,它们在11月频次最多;南方以25°N为界分成2个区,它们在12月、1月频次较多,在年际尺度上该2区冷空气呈减少、减弱趋势。南北5个区冷空气活动频次的年代际变化不一致,但是各区冷空气活动的强度在20世纪60年代至80年代均呈年代际减弱。全国性冷空气活动频次在20世纪60年代和90年代显著减少,而北方冷空气活动频次的年代际变化不大。当欧亚大陆地面冷高压比正常年偏强(偏弱)、我国大部分地区温度比正常年偏低(偏高)、高层500 h Pa东亚大槽比正常年偏强(偏弱)时,当年冷空气活动的频次偏多(偏少)。
