MULTI-HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE AND JUMP OF TEMPERATURE FOR THE GLOBE, CHINA AND YUNNAN OVER THE PAST 100 YEARS

An analysis has been conducted of the multi-hierarchical structure and jump of temperature variation for the globe, China and Yunnan Province over the past 100 years using an auto-adaptive, multi-resolution data filter set up in You, Lin and Deng (1997). The result is shown below in three aspects. (11 The variation of global temperature in this period is marked by warming on a large scale and can be divided into three stages of being cold (prior to 1919), warm (between 1920 and 1978) and warmer (since 1979). Well-defined jumps are with the variation in correspondence with the hierarchical evolution on such scale, occurring in 1920 and 1979 when there is the most substantial jump towards warming. For the evolution on smaller scales, however, the variation has shown more of alternations of cold and warm temperatures. The preceding hierarchical structure and warming jump are added with new ones. (2) The trend in which temperature varies is much the same for China and the Yunnan Province, but it is not consistent with that globally, the largest difference being that a weak period of cold temperature in 1955-1978 across the globe was suspended in 1979 when it jumped to a significant warming,while a period of very cold temperature in 1955-1986 in China and Yunnan was not followed by warming in similar extent until 1987. (3) Though there are consistent hierarchical structure and jumping features throughout the year in Yunnan, significant changes with season are also present and the most striking difference is that temperature tends to vary consistently with China in winter and spring but with the globe in summer and fall.     

CLIMATIC JUMP FROM LATE 1970S TO EARLY 1980S AND ITS EFFECT

By use of the moving T test to do research on the interdecadal climate jump of the NorthernHemisphere sea level pressure.500 hPa height and North Pacific sea surface temperature,wefound that in recent 50 years an obvious interdecadal climate jump existed at the late 1970s to theearly 1980s.There is significant difference before and after the jump in terms of the NorthernHemisphere sea level pressure,500 hPa height and North Pacific sea surface temperature.Furthermore,the focus is then placed on the effect of the jump on temperature and rainfall inChina.     

Impacts of two types of northward jumps of the East Asian upper-tropospheric jet stream in midsummer on rainfall in eastern China

The East Asian upper-tropospheric jet stream (EAJS) typically jumps north of 45°N in midsummer. These annual northward jumps are mostly classified into two dominant types: the first type corresponds to the enhanced westerly to the north of the EAJS’s axis (type A), while the second type is related to the weakened westerly within the EAJS’s axis (type B). In this study, the impacts of these two types of northward jumps on rainfall in eastern China are investigated. Our results show that rainfall significantly increases in northern Northeast China and decreases in the Yellow River-Huaihe River valleys, as well as in North China, during the type A jump. As a result of the type B jump, rainfall is enhanced in North China and suppressed in the Yangtze River valley. The changes in rainfall in eastern China during these two types of northward jumps are mainly caused by the northward shifts of the ascending air flow that is directly related to the EAJS. Concurrent with the type A (B) jump, the EAJS-related ascending branch moves from the Yangtze-Huai River valley to northern Northeast (North) China when the EAJS’s axis jumps from 40°N to 55°N (50°N). Meanwhile, the type A jump also strengthens the Northeast Asian low in the lower troposphere, leading to more moisture transport to northern Northeast China. The type B jump, however, induces a northwestward extension of the lower-tropospheric western North Pacific subtropical high and more moisture transport to North China.

全球、中国及云南近百年气温变化的层次结构和突变特征

用文献［１］建立的自适应多分辨数据波滤器进行了全球、中国及云南近百年气温变化的层次结构和突变特征分析。结果表明：（１）全球近百年来的气温变化对于较大时间尺度的演化来说主要特征是变暖,并为３个层次：即１９１９年以前的偏冷期;１９２０－１９７８年偏暖期和１９７９年以后的更暖期。对应于这种较大时间尺度的层次演变,全球的气温变化表现出十分明显的突变特征,两上最明显增暖的突变点分别发生在１９２０年和１９７９     

Climatic jumps in the flood/drought historical chronology of central China

Statistical series of flood/drought (F/D) grades and F/D variabilities were derived for the flood and drought chronology (2700 bc-1980 AD) of central China. Two types of climatic jumps were analyzed. The moving sign-test, T-test and F-test were applied to detect jump signals. A few wet-to-dry jumps for time-scales from decades to thousand years were compared with relevant climatic changes in other regions of the world. Changes in the annual rainfall due to jumps were estimated. Some F/D-deficient-to-F/D-frequent jumps were also found and their significance is discussed.Contribution to Clima Locarno — Past and Present Climate Dynamics; Conference September 1990, Swiss Academy of Sciences — National Climate Program     

MULTI-SCALE ANALYSES OF SURFACE AIR TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS FOR THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE AND CHINA DURING THE LAST ONE HUNDRED YEARS*

Using multi-resolution theory of wavelet analysis,this paper studies the multi-scale structure of surface air temperature variations for the Northern Hemisphere and China during the last one hundred years.The results show that the climatic variations for the Northern Hemisphere can be described as 3 hierarchies corresponding to the larger-scale changes.They are the cold period before 1919,the warm period from 1920 to 1978 and the warmer period after 1979.The larger-scale hierarchical changes obviously show qualities of climate jump.The years 1920 and 1979 are the jump points of climate change.The surface air temperature variations for China are not entirely analogous to the Northern Hemisphere,and the main contrasts are that China is in the cold period after 1955 and the jump point of warming is 1987.The surface air temperature variations for the Northern Hemisphere and China during the last one hundred years obviously show the hierarchical structure of multi-scale changes and the qualities of climate jump.     

Interdecadal Change of the Northward Jump Time of the Western Pacific Subtropical High in Association with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation

In this paper, the northward jump time of the western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH) is defined and analyzed on the interdecadal timescale. The results show that under global warming, significant interdecadal changes have occurred in the time of the WPSH northward jumps. From 1951 to 2012, the time of the first northward jump of WPSH has changed from "continuously early" to "continuously late", with the transition occurring in 1980. The time of the second northward jump of WPSH shows a similar change, with the transition occurring in 1978. In this study, we offer a new perspective by using the time of the northward jump of WPSH to explain the eastern China summer rainfall pattern change from "north-abundant-southbelow-average" to "south-abundant-north-below-average" at the end of the 1970 s. The interdecadal change in the time of the northward jump of WPSH corresponds not only with the summer rainfall pattern, but also with the Pacific decadal oscillation(PDO). The WPSH northward jump time corresponding to the cold(warm) phase of the PDO is early(late). Although the PDO and the El Nino–Southern Oscillation(ENSO)both greatly influence the time of the two northward jumps of WPSH, the PDO’s effect is noticed before the ENSO’s by approximately 1–2 months. After excluding the ENSO influence, we derive composite vertical atmospheric circulation for different phases of the PDO. The results show that during the cold(warm)phase of the PDO, the atmospheric circulations at 200, 500, and 850 h Pa all contribute to an earlier(later)northward jump of the WPSH.

CLIMATIC ABRUPT CHANGE IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE FOR 1920s AND 1950s

In recent years,a large number of papers on the climatic sudden change have been presented.From the viewpoint ofclimatic sudden change,two methods of studying climatic sudden change are applied in this paper.The Northern Hemi-sphere land temperature(NHLT)during 1851—1984,China temperature(CT)during 1873—1990 and the NorthernHemisphere sea-level pressure(NHSLP)at each grid point during 1899—1987 are analyzed by the moving T-test.Theresults show that there exist two climatic sudden changes in the 1920s and the 1950s during the past 100 years,and thenfeatures of circulation for the two sudden changes are discussed by the NHSLP data.     

太平洋-印度洋海温与我国东部旱涝型年代际变化的关系

对我国东部各区域的夏季降水的正交小波分解表明,其大于28年的分量可以很好地表示华北和长江中下游地区在20世纪70年代前后旱涝相反的年代际变化特征。合成分析表明,北太平洋、热带印度洋海温和东亚高空急流与我国东部夏季旱涝型的年代际变化密切相关。东亚高空急流和西太平洋副热带高压在70年代前后的年代际差异对旱涝型发生年代际变化起到重要作用;北太平洋和热带印度洋海温的年代际变化近百年来是协同一致的,二者有可能共同对旱涝型的变化产生影响。进一步分析指出,北太平洋—热带印度洋海温的变化与急流和副高的南北位置在年际和年代际尺度上都密切相关。可见,北太平洋-热带印度洋海表温度异常(SSTA)对于我国东部旱型涝的年代际变化确实具有重要的预示作用。     

环青海湖地区气候变化及其对荒漠化的影响

对环青海湖地区1976年以来的气温、降水、蒸发等气候要素的气候变化趋势及突变现象进行了分析和检验。结果表明：年平均气温及春、夏、秋、冬四季气温均呈上升趋势，其中以秋、冬两季最为明显；年平均降水量及春、夏、冬季降水自90年代后出现减少趋势，秋季降水始终呈减少趋势，且线性变率达－7.28mm/10a；各季及年蒸发量呈增大趋势，其中年、夏季蒸发量的线性变率分别为11.7、9.39mm/a。各季及年气温出现过一次明显的增暖现象；降水虽然出现过一次明显的增加和减少，但增加出现在80年代，而减少则出现在90年代；同样，蒸发也出现过一次明显的增大和减小现象，只是减少出现在80年代，而增大而出现在90年代。这种气候趋势和突变现象的发生，加剧了环青海湖地区荒漠化的蔓延，致使草地退化、河流流量减少、湖泊水位下降，生态环境受到严重影响。     

Atmospheric circulation characteristics associated with the onset of Asian summer monsoon

The onset of the Asian summer monsoon has been a focus in the monsoon study for many years. In this paper, we study the variability and predictability of the Asian summer monsoon onset and demonstrate that this onset is associated with specific atmospheric circulation characteristics. The outbreak of the Asian summer monsoon is found to occur first over the southwestern part of the South China Sea (SCS) and the Malay Peninsula region, and the monsoon onset is closely related to intra-seasonal oscillations in the lower atmosphere. These intra-seasonal oscillations consist of two low-frequency vortex pairs, one located to the east of the Philippines and the other over the tropical eastern Indian Ocean. Prior to the Asian summer monsoon onset, a strong low-frequency westerly emerges over the equatorial Indian Ocean and the low-frequency vortex pair develops symmetrically along the equator. The formation and evolution of these low-frequency vortices are important and serve as a good indicator for the Asian summer monsoon onset. The relationship between the northward jumps of the westerly jet over East Asia and the Asian summer monsoon onset over SCS is investigated. It is shown that the northward jump of the westerly jet occurs twice during the transition from winter to summer and these jumps are closely related to the summer monsoon development. The first northward jump (from 25–28N to around 30N) occurs on 8 May on average, about 7 days ahead of the summer monsoon onset over the SCS. It is found that the reverse of meridional temperature gradient in the upper-middle troposphere (500–200 hPa) and the enhancement and northward movement of the subtropical jet in the Southern Hemispheric subtropics are responsible for the first northward jump of the westerly jet.     

1880—2010年中国东部夏季降水年代际变化特征

利用1880—2010年中国东部66站夏季降水数据,开展夏季长序列降水的年代际变化特征研究。结果表明,中国东部夏季降水年代际变化特征显著,华北、江淮和华南地区存在明显的差异。经验正交分解结果表明,偶极型("-+"和"+-")和三极型("+-+"和"-+-")分布是中国东部夏季的两种主要降水模态。夏季500 h Pa高度场年代际分量与同期太平洋SST典型相关分析(BP-CCA)得出,太平洋年代际振荡(PDO,Pacific Decadal Oscillation)正位相可以激发出负的PJ型遥相关波列,导致长江中下游地区降水偏多,华北降水偏少;反之亦然。同时,通过滑动相关分析发现,中国东部不同区域的夏季降水对PDO不同位相的响应特征存在差异。     

中国北方夏半年最长连续无降水日数的变化特征

利用1951-2004年中国北方各气象台站夏半年逐日降水资料,建立最长连续无降水日数时间序列,采用经验模态分解(EMD)求出该序列的本征模态函数(IMF),分析原序列内在的多尺度振荡变化.用小波分析原序列的突变.结果表明,连续无降水日数的变化主要是由IMF1、IMF2和IMF3这3个本征模态构成,3-4 a、8-10 a尺度的振荡对整个变化起主要作用.近50年来,最长连续无降水日数呈线性增加趋势;显著增加的年份在1960年和1994年前后,与干旱现象的发生有紧密的联系.
