近6 a东北地区大气臭氧总量变化特征及其与气温的关系

利用TOMS大气臭氧总量格点资料分析了东北地区近6a(1996年8月-2002年7月)臭氧的分布特征、季节变化、变化趋势及其对气温变化的影响，并与1979—1992年的变化情况作了对比分析。结果表明：东北地区处于北半球大气臭氧高值中心的边缘，臭氧总量呈随纬度增加的分布形式，近6a区域年均值为361Du；冬春季总量较大、夏秋季较小，其中8月最小，3月最大；1979—1992年臭氧存在明显的下降趋势(冬季最为显著)，下降趋势高纬大于低纬，近6a整个区域没有系统性下降趋势；1979—1992年对流层中下部显著变暖、对流层上层和平流层低层显著变冷，且变暖率与变冷率均随纬度增高而加大，而近6a气温变幅很小，这与臭氧变化趋势基本对应，表明臭氧的辐射加热是影响平流层低层、对流层高层温度场的重要因素，同时它对对流层低层气温的影响值得进一步关注。     

青藏高原气温变化趋势与同纬度带其他地区的差异以及臭氧的可能作用

利用台站探空观测资料和卫星观测资料,分析了1979—2002年青藏高原上空温度的变化趋势。结果表明:高原地区上空平流层低层和对流层上层的温度与对流层中低层具有反相变化趋势。平流层低层和对流层上层降温,温度出现降低趋势,降温幅度无论是年平均还是季节平均都比全球平均降温幅度更大。高原上空对流层中低层增温,温度显示出增加的趋势,并且比同纬度中国东部非高原地区有更强的增温趋势。对1979—2002年卫星臭氧资料的分析表明,青藏高原上空臭氧总量在每个季节都呈现出明显的下降趋势,并且比同纬度带其他地区下降得更快。由于青藏高原上空臭氧有更大幅度的减少,造成高原平流层对太阳紫外辐射吸收比其他地区更少,使进入对流层的辐射更多,从而导致高原上空平流层低层和对流层上层降温比其他地区更强,而对流层中低层增温更大。因此,高原上空比其他地区更大幅度的臭氧总量减少可能是造成青藏高原上空与同纬度其他地区温度变化趋势差异的一个重要原因。     

沿120°E中纬度对流层—平流层下部气候变化及与臭氧变化的联系

利用1958~1995年海拉尔、沈阳、南京三地区地面至30 hPa标准层月平均气温资料,研究了近40年沿120°E、30°~50°N区域气候变率随高度、纬度和季节的分布特征,前、后两个20年气候变率的变动及其与亚欧不同地区臭氧变化的联系。结果指出:近20年来,该区域对流层中下部变暖速率随纬度显著增大,尤其在冬季;200 hPa以上变冷速率亦随高度及纬度显著增大,尤其在冬、春季。而前、后两个20年,高、低层气候变化趋势截然相反,这是一种年代际尺度气候变化。三地区各季节平流层下部变冷率（对流层中下部变暖率）随纬度增高而加大与邻近同纬带地区臭氧减少率随纬度增高而加大的现象基本对应,表明平流层下部因臭氧减少引起的辐射加热减少,可能是支配我国东部平流层下部变冷率（对流层中下部变暖率）随纬度增高而显著加大的一个重要因子。     

基于微波探测资料的全球大气亮温长期变化趋势研究

本文使用1978—2013年美国大气海洋局NOAA研发的STAR V3.0版本的MSU/AMSUA逐月亮温格点数据,引入集合经验模式分解(EEMD)方法,研究了高空大气亮温的非线性变化趋势,尤其注重亮温气候趋势的时间演变特征,并与传统线性回归(CLR)方法做了对比研究。结果表明,在全球对流层增温、平流层降温的大背景下,基于EEMD的亮温非线性趋势演变特征表现为:近10 a对流层中、高层全球平均增暖趋势放缓,甚至出现轻微的降温趋势;北半球对流层增暖首先出现在北极,随后向低纬度方向延伸。北极对流层增暖向上影响高层大气,最高可以扩展到平流层低层。南半球对流层中低纬度地区受北半球大气影响也出现增温。另外,近10 a南极地区出现显著的独立增温现象。平流层变冷北半球最早从中纬度地区开始发生,变冷逐渐增强的同时向极地和低纬度两侧扩张。南极上空平流层大气早期也出现显著变冷,然而随着2000年以后南极大范围增暖,平流层变冷逐渐转移到中低纬地区。     

南极气候变化的季节特征

利用1962～1993年南极16站地面至30hPa10个标准层上月平均温度、南极臭氧总量以及2800MHz太阳通量资料,采用最大熵功率谱方法,研究了各季中月南极诸高度气候的线性趋势变化、熵谱特征及其可能原因。结果显示:南极平流层气温(臭氧总量)在各月均呈变冷(减少)趋势,10月100hPa气温(臭氧总量)10年的变率最大达-1.8℃(-14.8%).南极对流层气温(2800MHz太阳通量)在各月均呈显著增暖(增强)趋势,1月500hPa气温(太阳通量)10年的变率高达0.4℃(22.1个单位).各月太阳通量均呈显著的3年及9～10年甚低频-年代际周期变化。而对流层850～500hPa气温变化熵谱仅在7月具有相应的特征,南极对流层顶气温在各季中月均无显著的趋势变化及周期性变化。提出南极春季臭氧的显著减少及夏季太阳通量的增强是平流层显著变冷及对流层变暖的重要原因;南极夏季对流层显著增暖导致南极大陆边缘部分冰雪消融,可能是近年来全球海平面升高的重要原因之一。     

21世纪平流层温度变化和臭氧恢复

温室气体增加和可能的臭氧恢复将是影响21世纪平流层温度变化的两个主要因素。温室气体增加的辐射效应将导致平流层变冷,而臭氧恢复将导致平流层变暖。为探讨平流层温度在这两种相反因素作用下的变化趋势,研究中使用了观测的臭氧和温度资料以及4个有代表性的IPCC-AR4海气耦合的全球环流模式的模拟结果(GISS-ER、GFDL-CM20、NCAR-CC-SM3和UKMO-HadCM3)。观测分析结果表明,在近10年来臭氧柱含量和平流层低层温度均有升高的趋势,平流层中层温度仍然延续20世纪后20年的变冷趋势。IPCC-AR4的模拟结果表明,单纯温室气体增加将造成平流层变冷。可是,在同时考虑温室气体增加和臭氧层恢复的情况下,模拟结果表明平流层中上层仍将维持变冷的趋势,而下层则存在变暖的趋势,但几个模式给出的变暖趋势有差别。UKMO-HadCM3给出的模拟结果是在3种温室气体排放情况下平流层低层均呈现较强的变暖趋势,变暖的层次可达40hPa;GFDL-CM20和NCAR-CCSM3给出的变暖趋势较弱一些,并且变暖主要位于60hPa以下的层次。     

南极对流层-平流层下部气候变化特征及其原因

利用南极16站30余年地面至30hPa10层月平均气温距平序列资料,采用最大熵功率谱方法,研究了南极对流层至平流层下部气候变化的长期趋势和周期性特征,并讨论了平流层(对流层)气候变化与南极臭氧总量(南半球500hPa环流)变化之间的联系。指出:南极气温具有明显的长期趋势和周期性变化;平流层下部显着变冷、对流层增暖,变化最大层高度在100、700hPa,最大降冷速率远大于增暖速率,气层稳定度趋于减弱;30、50hPa气温具有准两年周期,100hPa上下具有显着的年周期,对流层是以3.5年甚低频周期为主;对流层顶气温无显着趋势变化和周期性变化;南极最大臭氧层高度显着变冷与近15年来臭氧层损耗有关。南半球对流层中部极涡及绕极气流减弱是南极对流层气候变暖的直接原因。     

近30 a华北地区高空温度时空演变特征

根据华北地区12个探空站近30 a(1979-2008年)的各标准等压面月平均气温资料,对该地区高空年、季气温时空演变特征进行了分析.结果表明:华北地区高空年、季平均气温变化均具有非常高的空间一致性,其中冬季的一致性特征最明显;华北地区高空年、季平均气温大致以150-100 hPa层为界,以上(平流层下层)和以下(对流层)的气温存在着不同的变化特征:从近地面到200 hPa冬(夏)季最低(高),但在年平均气温最低的100-70 hPa,气温季节变化位相与对流层相反,50 hPa层以上气温的年变化不大;近30 a来华北地区对流层中下层的年、季平均气温变化以上升为主,而对流层上层至平流层下层则以下降为主.低层的变暖始于20世纪80年代后期,高层的变冷普遍始于20世纪90年代.     

近30a华北地区高空气温时空演变特征

根据华北地区12个探空站近30a(1979-2008年)的各标准等压面月平均气温资料,对该地区高空年、季气温时空演变特征进行了分析。结果表明:华北地区高空年、季平均气温变化均具有非常高的空间一致性,其中冬季的一致性特征最明显;华北地区高空年、季平均气温大致以150-100hPa层为界,以上(平流层下层)和以下(对流层)的气温存在着不同的变化特征:从近地面到200hPa冬(夏)季最低(高),但在年平均气温最低的100-70hPa,气温季节变化位相与对流层相反,50hPa层以上气温的年变化不大;近30a来华北地区对流层中下层的年、季平均气温变化以上升为主,而对流层上层至平流层下层则以下降为主。低层的变暖始于20世纪80年代后期,高层的变冷普遍始于20世纪90年代。     

2008年以来青藏高原春季大气温度逆转趋势及其与臭氧总量变化之间的可能联系

利用ERA-Interim和MERRA-2再分析资料,考察1980—2017年青藏高原大气温度变化趋势和规律,年、季、月不同时间尺度分析结果均揭示2008年以来青藏高原春季大气温度变化呈现逆转趋势：高原上空平流层下部150~50 hPa呈现明显的增温趋势（1.0~2.7℃/10a),对流层上部300~175 hPa呈现明显的降温趋势（-3.1~-1.0℃/10a),这与此前的大气温度变化趋势完全相反。利用TOMS和OMI卫星臭氧遥感资料,考察同期青藏高原臭氧总量变化特征,表明2008年以来青藏高原臭氧总量也表现出逆转的增加趋势,与大气温度逆转趋势吻合,从冬末至春季各月均有显著增加趋势,尤以5月臭氧总量增加速率最大,达13.7 DU/10a。青藏高原春季大气温度变化趋势与同期臭氧总量变化特征紧密相关,2008年后臭氧总量的快速恢复可能是引起大气温度逆转趋势的一个重要影响因素。     

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS DATA OF AIR–SEA TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE AND ITS VARIATION ACROSS SOUTH CHINA SEA IN THE PAST 35 YEARS

Using the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set(ICOADS) and ERA-Interim data, spatial distributions of air-sea temperature difference(ASTD) in the South China Sea(SCS) for the past 35 years are compared,and variations of spatial and temporal distributions of ASTD in this region are addressed using empirical orthogonal function decomposition and wavelet analysis methods. The results indicate that both ICOADS and ERA-Interim data can reflect actual distribution characteristics of ASTD in the SCS, but values of ASTD from the ERA-Interim data are smaller than those of the ICOADS data in the same region. In addition, the ASTD characteristics from the ERA-Interim data are not obvious inshore. A seesaw-type, north-south distribution of ASTD is dominant in the SCS; i.e., a positive peak in the south is associated with a negative peak in the north in November, and a negative peak in the south is accompanied by a positive peak in the north during April and May. Interannual ASTD variations in summer or autumn are decreasing. There is a seesaw-type distribution of ASTD between Beibu Bay and most of the SCS in summer, and the center of large values is in the Nansha Islands area in autumn. The ASTD in the SCS has a strong quasi-3a oscillation period in all seasons, and a quasi-11 a period in winter and spring. The ASTD is positively correlated with the Nio3.4 index in summer and autumn but negatively correlated in spring and winter.     

Could the Recent Taal Volcano Eruption Trigger an El Ni?o and Lead to Eurasian Warming?

<正>The Taal Volcano in Luzon is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes of the Philippines. A recent eruption occurred on 12 January 2020(Fig. 1a), and this volcano is still active with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes. The eruption has become a deep concern worldwide, not only for its damage on local society, but also for potential hazardous consequences on the Earth’s climate and environment.     

VARIABILITY OF INTER-ANNUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE AND HUAXI REGION’S AUTUMN PRECIPITATION

The moving-window correlation analysis was applied to investigate the relationship between autumn Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events and the synchronous autumn precipitation in Huaxi region, based on the daily precipitation, sea surface temperature (SST) and atmospheric circulation data from 1960 to 2012. The correlation curves of IOD and the early modulation of Huaxi region’s autumn precipitation indicated a mutational site appeared in the 1970s. During 1960 to 1979, when the IOD was in positive phase in autumn, the circulations changed from a “W” shape to an ”M” shape at 500 hPa in Asia middle-high latitude region. Cold flux got into the Sichuan province with Northwest flow, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Western Pacific to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation increase in east Huaxi region. During 1980 to 1999, when the IOD in autumn was positive phase, the atmospheric circulation presented a “W” shape at 500 hPa, the positive anomaly of the water vapor flux transported from Bay of Bengal to Huaxi region strengthened, caused precipitation ascend in west Huaxi region. In summary, the Indian Ocean changed from cold phase to warm phase since the 1970s, caused the instability of the inter-annual relationship between the IOD and the autumn rainfall in Huaxi region.     

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC CONDITIONS BEFORE THE OCCURRENCE OF TWO TYPES OF EL NIO EVENTS

The atmospheric and oceanic conditions before the onset of EP El Ni?o and CP El Ni?o in nearly 30 years are compared and analyzed by using 850 hPa wind, 20℃ isotherm depth, sea surface temperature and the Wheeler and Hendon index. The results are as follows: In the western equatorial Pacific, the occurrence of the anomalously strong westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Its intensity is far stronger than that of the CP El Ni?o. Two months before the El Ni?o, the anomaly westerly winds of the EP El Ni?o have extended to the eastern Pacific region, while the westerly wind anomaly of the CP El Ni?o can only extend to the west of the dateline three months before the El Ni?o and later stay there. Unlike the EP El Ni?o, the CP El Ni?o is always associated with easterly wind anomaly in the eastern equatorial Pacific before its onset. The thermocline depth anomaly of the EP El Ni?o can significantly move eastward and deepen. In addition, we also find that the evolution of thermocline is ahead of the development of the sea surface temperature for the EP El Ni?o. The strong MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o in the western and central Pacific is earlier than that of the CP El Ni?o. Measured by the standard deviation of the zonal wind square, the intensity of MJO activity of the EP El Ni?o is significantly greater than that of the CP El Ni?o before the onset of El Ni?o.     

IMPACT OF ATMOSPHERIC LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATION ON THE IMMIGRATION OF NILAPARVATA LUGENS(STL) IN HUNAN AND JIANGXI PROVINCES

Various features of the atmospheric environment affect the number of migratory insects, besides their initial population. However, little is known about the impact of atmospheric low-frequency oscillation(10 to 90 days) on insect migration. A case study was conducted to ascertain the influence of low-frequency atmospheric oscillation on the immigration of brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens(Stl), in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The results showed the following:(1) The number of immigrating N. lugens from April to June of 2007 through 2016 mainly exhibited a periodic oscillation of 10 to 20 days.(2) The 10-20 d low-frequency number of immigrating N. lugens was significantly correlated with a low-frequency wind field and a geopotential height field at 850 h Pa.(3) During the peak phase of immigration, southwest or south winds served as a driving force and carried N. lugens populations northward, and when in the back of the trough and the front of the ridge, the downward airflow created a favorable condition for N. lugens to land in the study area. In conclusion, the northward migration of N. lugens was influenced by a low-frequency atmospheric circulation based on the analysis of dynamics. This study was the first research connecting atmospheric low-frequency oscillation to insect migration.
