近百年北极涛动对中国冬季气候的影响

北极涛动 (AO) 是北半球冬季热带外行星尺度大气环流最重要的一个模态,对北半球及区域气候有重要影响。利用中国近50年和近百年气温和降水资料分析了北极涛动对我国冬季气候的影响。当AO指数偏强时,我国大部分地区冬季气温偏高,同时降水也偏多。AO和西伯利亚高压对我国冬季气候的影响在年际和年代际尺度上有不同的特征, 在年际尺度上西伯利亚高压对我国气温的影响要远强于AO,而AO对我国降水的影响则比西伯利亚高压的影响要显著。这种关系也可以通过比较分析对流层低层和中高层环流形势在AO不同位相时的变化得到进一步验证。这说明AO对我国冬季气温和降水影响的机制是不一样的。在年代际尺度上,AO对气温和降水都有显著的影响。AO和西伯利亚高压一起能解释近百年来我国冬季温度和降水方差的35% 和11%。     

塔里木河源流区气候变化和年径流量关系初探

基于1957~2003年塔里木河流域源流区长期监测资料,分析塔里木河流域源流区的主要河流年径流量和相应气温、降水变化的特点,探讨流域内气候变化与水资源量变化的关系。利用非参数检验的方法,分析温度、降水变化与径流量变化的关联性和一致性。结果显示:在塔里木河流域源流区,温度在0.05水平上呈现单调递增的趋势,降水则表现为不显著增加的走势,而径流量基本均出现了递增现象;从参数检验和非参数分析的结果看,温度升高与径流量增加的关联趋势更明显。     

青藏高原冬季积雪时空变化特征及其与北极涛动的关系北大核心CSCDCSSCI

青藏高原积雪不仅是气候变化的敏感指示器,而且对亚洲季风区乃至全球气候具有显著影响。利用2002-2014年MODIS积雪覆盖范围产品及ERA-Interim再分析资料,采用气候统计诊断方法探究了青藏高原冬季积雪的时空变化特征及其与北极涛动(AO)的关系,结果表明:(1)高原冬季积雪空间分布差异明显,高原西部和东南部多雪,中部和北部少雪,东部积雪年际变化大,西部多雪区积雪较为稳定。(2)高原冬季积雪EOF分解第一模态具有东—西反位相变化特征,当高原东部积雪偏多(少)时,西部积雪偏少(多)。(3)该模态与AO密切相关。AO正位相时,东亚大槽减弱,南支槽加深东移,西太平洋副高加强使得更多暖湿气流到达高原,有利于高原东部降雪,而高原西南侧阿拉伯海附近存在反气旋异常,使得阿拉伯海的水汽不易抬升进入高原西部,高原西部盛行干燥的下沉气流异常,造成少雪的环流背景,且地表温度偏高不利于积雪维持,从而导致高原西部积雪的减少;AO负位相时,东亚大槽增强使得冬季风加强,高原东部受来自西北的干冷气流控制,不利于降雪产生,高原西南侧出现气旋异常,促使来自阿拉伯海和孟加拉湾的暖湿气流输送至高原西部,与来自西伯利亚的冷空气相遇,营造多雪的环流背景。     

南极长城站和中山站的近期气候变化及其对南极涛动的响应

利用长城和中山站的多种气象观测资料,揭示了南极气候在近15—30年全球气候变化关键时期的最新动态及其对南极涛动变化的响应。结果显示,近15年来,位于南极半岛地区的长城站增暖趋势减缓且有变冷迹象,并伴随气压下降和降水增多的趋势,表明全球增暖停滞期南极半岛经历了与过去几十年长期趋势有所不同的新变化,而位于南极大陆沿海的中山站气象要素变化趋势相对平缓,表明南极半岛和南极大陆气候变化特征存在显著的区域性差异。两站多个气象要素与南极涛动指数显著相关,两站温度与南极涛动相关关系相反等研究事实说明了两站气候与南极涛动及其对应的大气环流区域特征有着密切的联系。     

欧亚秋季雪盖与北半球冬季大气环流的联系

利用NOAA 提供的1973-2004 年32 年欧亚雪盖面积资料和NCEP/NCAR 再分析资料, 采用相关和合成方法对比分析了欧亚秋、冬季雪盖与北半球冬季大气环流的关系,得到了一个观测事实: 欧亚秋季雪盖与后期冬季北半球中高纬大气环流存在显著的相关关系, 尤其是与北半球冬季大气环流的最主要模态北极涛动(AO) 或北大西洋涛动(NAO) 呈显著的负相关关系, 而且欧亚秋季雪盖面积与后期冬季北半球大气环流的关系比欧亚冬季雪盖与同期大气环流的关系更好。最后提出了一个联系欧亚秋季雪盖与冬季大气环流的可能原因: 欧亚秋季雪盖异常可能是导致后期冬季北半球大气环流变化的一个主要强迫因子。     

人类活动和气候变化对红碱淖植被覆盖变化的影响

利用GIMMS NDVI、SPOT VGT两种归一化植被指数(NDVI)数据和气候资料对红碱淖地区植被覆盖变化、气候变化进行了研究, 从气候变化和人类活动的角度分析了植被覆盖变化的原因。结果表明,1957—2007年期间红碱淖地区温度上升趋势显著,降水经历了由少许的增加转向减少的过程,进入了一个相对干旱气候态。1982—2007年期间红碱淖地区植被覆盖变化趋势是在波动中逐渐增加,大致经历了4个阶段：①1982—1988年植被覆盖持续增加;②1989—1998年小幅波动,相对稳定;③1999年植被覆盖迅速下降,1999—2001年维持较低值;④2002年快速增加到较高水平,2007年达最大值。气候变暖使春季生长季节提前、秋季生长期延长。春季的降水量对春季的植被覆盖影响明显,春夏之交降水量对NDVI的影响存在一个月的滞后现象。生长季的降水量变化趋势与植被覆盖的变化趋势相一致。夏季温度上升加速了地表蒸散发过程,同时降水具有减少的趋势,干旱对植被生长有抑制作用,夏季的植被覆盖却在显著增加。     

多模式预测气候变化及其对雪冰流域径流的影响

冰川覆盖流域的雪冰融水对河川径流有重要的调节作用。气候变化影响雪冰融水过程和数量变化,河川径流过程和径流量相应变化,其程度与流域冰川情况相关。通过利用CMIP5气候模式输出气象数据驱动流域水文模型,模拟研究天山地区3个不同冰川覆盖率河流(库玛拉克河、玛纳斯河、库车河)的径流对气候变化的响应。结果表明:随着未来气温和降水的持续增加,3个流域的雪融水均有增加,冰融水变化受冰川覆盖面积的影响,在各个流域变化不一致。径流变化主要受降水增加和雪冰融水变化的综合影响,在未来情景下各流域径流均有增加,分别增加了5.8%～14.3%(库车河)、2.9%～11.4%(玛纳斯河)、12.9%～47.1%(库玛拉克河),且冰川覆盖率越大的流域,预估径流不确定性变化区间受冰融水影响越大。预估3个流域的径流、雪冰融水年内分布变化表明,各河流的春季融雪时间提前和融雪量增加使得流域春季径流量较历史时期增大;在夏季,受雪冰融水变化的影响库车河、玛纳斯河夏季径流峰值量减小,而库玛拉克河径流峰值量增加,且预估的各流域夏季径流变化不确定性区间明显大于其它季节。     

河西走廊近40 a气候生产潜力特征研究

 根据河西走廊20个气象台站1971—2006年4—9月温度和降水资料,采用Thornthwaite Memorial模型计算气候生产潜力,使用Mann-Kendall检验、EOF经验正交函数、敏感性分析等研究其时空变化特征。分析表明,河西走廊农业气候资源与地理分布显著相关,东南部明显优于西北部。气候变化显著趋暖,气候生产潜力减少趋势明显,减少中心向西偏移,严重限制了西部农业发展。气候生产潜力对温度响应东部比西部明显,特别是祁连山东段增暖增益显著;对降水响应西部比东部明显,尤其是西部及临近沙漠边缘地带干旱区增湿增益显著; 暖湿效应使气候生产潜力普遍增加。在农业集中区降水对气候生产潜力影响比温度显著,从根本上看降水是研究区域农业增产的首要因素。     

新疆北疆气候对地表水资源变化的影响与评估

通过气候因子与北疆地表水资源的相关分析,主要得到以下结论：９月￣次年８月的水文年降水量是影响北疆地表水资源的主导气候因子,它起着增加地表水资源的作用,而５￣７月月平均气温累积值是辅助气候因子,它通过增加蒸发对地表水资源起减少作用。位于北疆西部地区的几个代表站,其气候因子对北疆地表水资源的影响最为显著。气候变化对北疆地表水资源影响的定量评估大致为：５￣７月月平均气温累积值为多年平均值时,水文年降水增     

气候转暖及人类活动对北疆中小河流降水-径流关系的影响

利用近40 a来的水文气象资料,分析北疆20世纪80~90年代气候转暖及人类活动对北疆不同地区的中小河流降水-径流关系的影响,主要结论如下:①北疆西部的哈拉依灭勒河、卡琅古尔河,在1980年以后气候转暖的背景下,它们的自然降水-径流关系并无明显改变。②北部额尔齐斯河流域东部产流区平均高程较高的大青河,在90年代气候显著转暖的背景下,其自然降水-径流关系并无明显改变;而位于大青河东侧、流域平均高程较低、山区流域降水量较小的小青河,在90年代气候明显转暖的背景下,其自然降水径流关系发生了变化,所形成的自然地表径流量明显减少。③天山中部北坡的乌鲁木齐河,在80~90年代气候转暖的背景下,其自然降水-径流关系发生了变化,产流量明显偏多。④天山东部北坡的开垦河,在80~90年代气候转暖及人类活动影响的背景下,其自然降水-径流关系发生了变化,产流量减少。⑤乌鲁木齐近郊低山丘陵区的水磨河,在近40 a来的增温及人类活动影响的背景下,其自然降水-径流关系发生了变化,尽管乌鲁木齐年降水量有增加趋势,而其径流却是减少的。     

Influence of Arctic Oscillation on winter climate over China

In this study the relationship between the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and climate in China in boreal winter are investigated. Correlation analysis for the last 41 years shows that the winter temperature and precipitation in China change in phase with AO. High positive correlation (>0.4) between temperature and AO appears in the northern China. High correlation coefficients between precipitation and AO cover the southern China (close to the South China Sea) and the central China (between 30o-40oN and east of ~100oE), with the values varying between +0.3 and +0.4. It is found that during the past several decades the precipitation was strongly affected by AO, but for the temperature the Siberian High plays a more important role. At the interdecadal time scale the AO has significant influence on both temperature and precipitation. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrates that AO and the Siberian High related variance in temperature and precipitation is 35% and 11% respectively. For precipitation, however the portion is rather low, implying that some other factors may be responsible for the changes in precipitation, in addition to AO and the Siberian High.     

北极涛动对中国冬季气候的影响

1IntroductionIt is noteworthy that there is significant association between the surface climate over northern continents and atmospheric circulation (Hurrell, 1995, 1996; Gong and Ho, 2002a). Thompson and Wallace (1998) pointed out that the leading empirical orthogonal function of the wintertime northern hemisphere sea level pressure field resembles the North Atlantic Oscillation but with more zonally symmetric appearance. This annular-like mode in the northern extratropical circulation, wh…     

中国干旱内陆河出山径流对流域气象要素与全球气象指数的响应特征研究

干旱内陆河出山径流及其影响因素分析对于流域水资源评价、流域经济生态安全保障具有重要意义。基于1960-2012年塔里木河流域"三源流"与黑河流域的出山径流、降水、气温资料及4个全球气象指数监测数据,采用小波分析方法研究了各水文气象要素的周期特征,以及流域出山径流对气象要素与气象指数的响应特征。结果表明：（1）各水文气象因子多具有1~2个显著周期,周期多在2~7 a尺度范围内。（2）叶尔羌河、黑河出山径流与流域降水分别在6~17 a、2~16 a周期上关系显著。各出山径流与流域降水、气温的多尺度共振周期性差异,反映了各径流来源构成及其与气象要素年际动态方面的差异。（3）各流域出山径流对气象指数的响应特征不同,这在显著时频域以及径流响应时滞等方面均有表现。此研究可为气候变化条件下干旱内陆河流域生态-水文过程响应及水资源管理提供依据。     

NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION SIGNATURES IN WESTERN IBERIAN TREE-RINGS

Exactly dated ring-width chronologies derived from Pyrenean oak and sweet chestnut trees growing in northern Extremadura, Spain, were evaluated for their potential as proxies for regional precipitation and North Atlantic Oscillation variability. The relationships among tree-rings, instrumental climatic records, and three versions of the NAO index were computed for different time subperiods over the last century. The results indicate that tree-ring records reflect, with variable intensity, both short-term and long-term variations in climate. Multiple correlation and regression analysis revealed that summer precipitation appeared to be the major factor affecting tree growth at inter-annual timescales. Moreover, since fluctuations in accumulated variability in annual rainfall over southwest Iberia are controlled by winter precipitation, the accumulated rainfall (August of the year n -1 to July of year n ) and winter NAO indices are also strongly correlated with tree-ring records at interdecadal timescales. This relationship appears to be especially strong during the second half of the 20th century, which is consistent with an increase of the NAO signal in the annual precipitation during the later part of the century. These results indicate that tree-rings from western Iberia are potential proxies of the NAO variability, useful to be included in palaeoclimatic model studies.     

Relationship between NAO and drought disasters in northwestern China in the last millennium

North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) plays an important role in the Northern Hemisphere climate system. Although there is growing interest in the connection between NAO and precipitation change in China, there are few studies concerning that connection in northwestern China. Based on fine-grained historical drought disaster records and NAO proxies, we explored quantitatively their possible connection in northwestern China over the past millennium at the multi-decadal to centennial timescales. Statistical results show that NAO and drought disaster were negatively correlated, as positive modes of NAO caused northward-displaced, stronger-than average mid-latitude Westerlies with an enhanced latitudinal water vapor gradient into the central Asian drylands, resulting in reduced drought frequency and intensity in northwestern China. But, their correlation was out-of-phase during the Little Ice Age because of the southward shifting of monsoon, Westerlies, and the East Asian Jet Stream brought by long-term land surface cooling. As it has been indicated that the precipitation in northwestern China is also determined by El Niño-Southern Oscillation and North Atlantic sea surface and air temperature aside from NAO, further studies are needed to evaluate their individual roles and combined impacts upon the drought disaster there.     

黑河流域气象要素与全球性大气环流特征量的多尺度遥相关分析

黑河流域生态-水文过程集成研究是我国近年来干旱半干旱地区的研究热点,气候变化条件下流域生态-水文过程的响应机制是其中一个重要科学问题。基于1956-2015 年黑河流域气温、湿度、降水观测数据及多个大气环流特征量监测资料,采用小波分析方法研究了流域气象要素与大气环流特征量的周期性及遥相关。结果表明：（1）流域气温与大气环流特征量的遥相关关系最为明显,湿度、降水次之。（2）气温与Niño3.4 SSTA、SOI 的显著遥相关共同周期为12～16 a,与NAO、AO为9～11 a,与WP遥相关周期为5～9 a,与PDO为8～15 a。（3）湿度与NAO遥相关周期为4～5 a,与POL为3～6 a,与WP为9～15 a,与PNA为2～8 a。（4）降水与Niño3.4 SSTA遥相关周期为9～15 a,与NAO为2～4 a,与AO为3～7 a,与POL为11～19 a,与WP为9～14 a。（5）上述各遥相关周期的地域分布、显著时段与时滞特征各有差异。本文研究有助于加深流域气象要素对环流特征量响应机制的认识,为我国干旱半干旱地区内陆河流域严峻的水-生态问题的解决及水资源管理提供依据。     

Recent temperature and precipitation increases in West Siberia and their association with the Arctic Oscillation

Surface air temperature and precipitation records for the years 1958-1999 from ten meteorological stations located throughout West Siberia are used to identify climatic trends and determine to what extent these trends are potentially attributable to the Arctic Oscillation (AO). Although recent changes in atmospheric variability are associated with broad Arctic climate change, West Siberia appears particularly susceptible to warming. Furthermore, unlike most of the Arctic, moisture transport in the region is highly variable. The records show that West Siberia is experiencing significant warming and notable increases in precipitation, likely driven, in part, by large-scale Arctic atmospheric variability. Because this region contains a large percentage of the world's peatlands and contributes a significant portion of the total terrestrial freshwater flux to the Arctic Ocean, these recent climatic trends may have globally significant repercussions. The most robust patterns found are strong and prevalent springtime warming, winter precipitation increases, and strong association of non-summer air temperatures with the AO. Warming rates for both spring (0.5-0.8 °C/decade) and annual (0.3-0.5°C/decade) records are statistically significant for nine often stations. On average, the AO is linearly congruent with 96% (winter), 19% (spring), 0% (summer), 67% (autumn) and 53% (annual) of the warming found in this study. Significant trends in precipitation occur most commonly during winter, when four of ten stations exhibit significant increases (4-13 %/decade). The AO may play a lesser role in precipitation variability and is linearly congruent with only 17% (winter), 13% (spring), 12% (summer), 1% (autumn) and 26% (annual) of precipitation trends.     

Global warming trend without the contributions from decadal variability of the Arctic Oscillation

Climate change associated with recent global warming is most prominent in the Arctic and subarctic. The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a dominant atmospheric phenomenon in the Northern Hemisphere. Decadal variability of surface air temperature (SAT) associated with the AO index shows high correlation with recent global warming trend. In this study, the SAT variability in the Northern Hemisphere is separated in contributions from decadal variability by the AO and remaining components.The results indicate that the decadal variability of the AO index shows high correlation with the SAT variation until 1990. The AO index and SAT variabilities show a negative trend during 1949–1969, while the trend is positive during 1969–1989. In addition, the spatial distribution pattern of the SAT linear trend during each period shows the same pattern as AO. However, while the AO index indicates a negative trend, the SAT trend is continuously positive also after 1990. This warming pattern appearing after 1990 is caused by the Arctic amplification.Although the AO has a large amplitude on local scale, the AO is almost dynamically orthogonal to the hemispheric warming component. However, the AO can be related to the decadal variability of the Arctic and subarctic temperature change through the feedbacks by climate sub-systems.
