积雪对冻土热状况的影响

研究表明季节性积雪对其下覆冻土的热状况有显著的影响，雪盖的存在不仅阻隔了冻土层的热能散失，从而有提高地温的作用；而且由于积雪本身所具有的低导热性和较大容积热容量等特点，延滞外部气候条件对冻土热状况的影响。反映冻土热状况的一个重要指标－冻土深度的变化与气温，太阳辐射的变化密切相关，因此，地理位置和地形在地一气系统之间的能量交换中，对冻土的状况也重要的影响作用。     

1960-2015年新疆塔什库尔干河谷季节性冻土对气候变化的响应

利用1960-2015 年新疆塔什库尔干河谷季节性冻土的冻结始日、冻结终日、年冻结日数、年累积冻土厚度、最大冻土深度等特征指标资料,采用气候倾向率、气候突变、气候变化趋势的持续性等方法,分析近56 a该地区季节性冻土的年际、年代际变化特征。研究发现：（1）在全球变暖的背景下,1960-2015 年新疆塔什库尔干河谷气温变化亦呈上升趋势,升温趋势的持续性较强,升温幅度0.03 ℃·a^-1、0.29 ℃·（10 a）^-1、0.74 ℃·（30 a）^-1。（2）在1960-2015年期间,该地区季节性冻土呈退化趋势,具体表现为;冻结始日推迟,冻结终日提前,年冻结日数减少,年累积冻土厚度减小,最大冻土深度减小。（3）在1960-2015年期间,该地区季节性冻土持续退化趋势持续性强。（4）1960-2015 年新疆塔什库尔干河谷季节性冻土对气温变暖的具体响应呈现为退化状态。（5）按气候升温率Gt;0.034~0.046 ℃·a^-1 计算,在气候变暖背景下,该地区季节性冻土到2050 年（较2000 年）的冻结始日将推迟12~15 d、年冻结日数将减少21~27 d、年累积冻土厚度将减少36.3%~46.7%。     

人为季节性河流的初步研究

由于人类引水量的激增,我国北方的一些天然常流河频繁断流,已经成为季节性河流。文中提出了人为季节河的概念,在分析天然常流河与天然季节河的形成条件的基础上,查明了人为季节河形成的敏感带和在这种敏感带中,常流河向季节河转化的条件。     

半干旱区季节性河流在荒漠化发育中的作用——以内蒙古四子王旗塔布河流域为例

荒漠化发育方式和过程的各不相同 ,具有明显的地域性和成因差异性特点。半干旱区季节性河流在荒漠化地貌发育中的作用是引人注目的一个科学问题。内蒙古四子王旗塔布河流域内有丰富的第三系和第四系河湖相冲 (洪 )积沉积物。该流域正发生着内蒙古乌兰察布盟最严重的荒漠化。本文基于LandsatTM图像的处理与分析 ,对该区季节性河流流域的荒漠化程度、分布及其成因作了研究 ,探讨了风 -水复合作用下荒漠化发育的具体模式。在干旱 -半干旱的气候背景下 ,地表植被稀疏、甚至裸露 ,在暴雨作用下 ,形成的洪流搬运大量泥沙碎屑物质沉积在中下游的宽谷地带 ,随着河道的淤积、抬高与加宽 ,干燥的流沙向两岸蔓延 ;再在特殊地段河道的“狭管效应”与局部气流循环共同作用下 ,流沙向四周进一步扩展 ,与山前洪积扇相连 ,造成荒漠化大范围的发生和发展 ,并可能导致整个地区的荒漠化。
