近20年青藏高原云分布特征及云参数时空变化分析

准确估算云量是了解青藏高原云参数时空特征的基础。通过相关分析、回归分析、趋势分析方法,分析了近21年来青藏高原云分布的动态变化。利用MODIS云量日产品（MOD08＿D3）数据和ERA5再分析资料,分析了青藏高原不同阶段云量分布和云参数的时空特征。结果表明,高云区云量中心位于墨脱县（77.3%）,林芝（72.5%）地区云量最大,青藏高原日平均云量在过去21年间减少了0.04%。季节分布上,夏季出现水云的概率最高（31.7%）,春季出现冰云的概率最高（26.5%）。每年出现的冰云比水云高2%左右。在全球变暖背景下,青藏高原上空水汽含量呈减少趋势,云水含量呈逐渐增加趋势。年平均云水含量比大气总水汽含量高约0.01 cm,云水总含量增加约0.04 cm。本研究为理解云水资源对全球气候变化和青藏高原地区水循环的影响提供了依据。     

基于ISCCP云资料的中国地区不同类型云的时空分布

利用1994—2009年国际卫星云气候计划ISCCP中D2卫星观测月平均云数据集,从不同区域、不同云类角度出发,详细分析中国地区云量、云水路径、云光学厚度的时空分布特征。结果表明:(1)中国地区大部分水云分布在四川盆地至东南沿海一带,而大部分冰云分布在北方和青藏高原地区,其中卷云覆盖最广、云量最大,其次为卷层云、水高层云、水积云,而冰云中低云云量最小。(2)水云中层积云、雨层云和冰云中深对流云总云量、云水路径和云光学厚度均较大,云水含量丰富,对四川盆地至东南沿海一带降水贡献较大。(3)不同云类的总云量季节变化明显,不同区域表现不一,多数水云尤其是雨层云在北方和高原地区夏多冬少,而在西南和东南地区冬多夏少;冰云季节变化的地域性差异较小,多数区域高积云和高层云冬多夏少,卷层云和深对流云夏多冬少,表明冬季对流减弱使得冰云集聚且向中低层发展,而夏季温度升高、对流增强使得水云集聚并向高层发展。(4)水云中层云和雨层云的云水路径有明显的季节变化,且地域性特征明显,尤其是东南地区,表现为双峰型分布,峰值分别在2月和11月;冰云的云水路径在北方地区夏季达到峰值,而在南方地区冬季达到峰值。     

东亚夏季气溶胶—云—降水分布特征及其相互影响的资料分析

东亚季风气候受到自然因素和人类活动的共同影响,而人类活动因子中气溶胶的作用尤为关键,采用诊断分析的手段研究东亚地区气溶胶的特征及其与云和降水的相互关系具有重要的科学意义。本文利用MODIS(moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer)气溶胶和云资料以及TRMM(Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission)降水数据,分析了东亚夏季气溶胶、云、降水的时空分布特征,研究了气溶胶与云和降水的相互关系。结果表明:中国四个典型地区(珠三角、长三角、四川盆地、京津唐)2001～2011年夏季(6～8月)平均气溶胶光学厚度(Aerosol Optical Depth, AOD)变化范围为0.40～0.68,云光学厚度平均值为18.7～23.6,水云云滴有效粒子半径在20.2～25.6 μm,冰云有效粒子半径在12.9～15.3 μm,云水路径为222.2～243.8 g m-2,降水强度平均值3.6～8.6 mm d-1;珠三角气溶胶光学厚度有显著降低趋势,年倾向为-3.31%,四川盆地云滴有效粒子半径(冰云、水云)和云水路径年变化趋势为-0.42%、-0.49%和-1.26%,京津唐夏季降水量年增幅为3.24%。气溶胶光学厚度和云光学厚度呈正相关,相关系数最大为0.77;在相对湿度较低(30%～50%)情况下,气溶胶光学厚度与云滴有效粒子半径呈负相关;气溶胶光学厚度与云水路径呈正相关,相关系数最大为0.92;相对于低污染情况(AOD<0.5),高污染情况(AOD>0.5)下出现大雨(>10 mm d-1)的频率增加了6.6%～19.1%,小雨(<1 mm d-1)的频率减少了0.72%～7.3%。在水汽含量较少的情况下,气溶胶的增加导致云滴有效粒子半径的减少;气溶胶增强了南方地区的对流性降水,抑制了北方地区层云降水。     

中国地区夏季云粒子尺寸的时空分布特征

利用CloudSat卫星资料,分析了2006～2008年中国地区夏季月平均云粒子有效半径的垂直和区域变化特征。结果显示,水云粒子有效半径在对流层低层达到最大,并随高度增加而减小。30°N纬度带的水云相对以南及以北纬度带的粒子有效半径偏大。6月水云粒子有效半径较大,应与梅雨季节有密切联系。对于中国北部和中部,水云粒子有效半径在西部较东部偏大,而在南部地区,东西部差异不明显。不同纬度带上的冰云粒子有效半径相类似,在冰云下边界最大,随高度增加而减小。水云和冰云的云粒子尺度的年际变化不明显。对上述特征的成因分析表明,高原地形以及东亚夏季风对月平均云粒子有效半径具有明显影响。所揭示的云粒子有效半径特征为天气和气候模式改进、人工影响天气及云—辐射—气候相互作用等研究提供了重要的基础信息。     

基于ERA5资料的广西地区云水资源评估

利用欧洲中期数值预报中心(ECMWF)发布的第5代全球大气再分析资料(ERA5),结合中国气象局人工影响天气中心发布的CWR-MEM方案云水资源监测评估方法,对广西区域2009—2018年云水资源进行评估研究,结果表明:广西年均云水资源总量约5107.8×10^(8)t,其中年均空中留存云水总量约1422.2×10^(8)t,云水以区域内生成为主,年均约净输出197.1×10^(8)t云水资源。广西云水资源存在明显的季节变化特征,呈单峰分布,夏季6月最高,冬季2月最低,空中留存云水无明显季节变化。广西云水水平分布总体呈东北部高,向西和向南逐渐降低的分布特征。广西秋、冬和春季云水主要分布在低层925~600hPa,是以液相水滴构成的暖性层状云云水为主,夏季云水则主要分布在中层600~400hPa,是以过冷液水滴和冰相粒子构成的混合态云水为主,低层云水显著减少。     

基于ERA-Interim的中国云水量时空分布和变化趋势

利用欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)发布的新一代全球分辨率ERA-Interim再分析数据,用九点平滑、一元线性回归法分析了1979-2016年中国云水量时空分布特征和变化趋势。结果表明:(1)中国云水含量和云液水含量大值区主要位于四川东部-湖南850～500 h Pa,量值达0. 015～0. 045 g·kg~(-1),这一分布与该地区层状云的富集有关。云冰水含量大值区主要位于中东部地区(27°N-35°N,97°E-110°E) 500～250 hPa,量值达0. 006～0. 025 g·kg~(-1)。三者小值区均位于西北地区西部。(2)中国多年平均整层云水量无明显线性趋势。春季云水量呈略减少,秋、冬季呈略增加趋势,夏季无明显趋势。云水量有明显年际变化,夏季年际变化远小于其他季节;干旱区、半干旱区整层云液态水含量的年际变化大于湿润区,云冰水含量相反。云水量空间变化呈西增东减趋势。(3)云水量大值区对应水汽输送辐合和低层上升运动,且对流层中低层水汽通量散度可在一定程度上表征云水含量。从而为认识和理解气候变化对中国水资源的影响提供一定依据。     

祁连山区空中水汽分布特征及变化趋势分析

利用欧洲中心再分析资料,结合探空资料与内陆河径流量资料,分析了祁连山区空中水汽含量和水汽年内变化及多年演变特征。结果表明:祁连山单位面积垂直累积水汽含量随季节变化差异大,夏季最高,秋季次之,冬季最低,与以往认识不同的是在适宜天气条件下,祁连山春季空中水汽也具有开发前景。此外,祁连山东段水汽含量一年四季都高于西段,在祁连山西段山区中稳定存在一水汽低值中心,这是以往资料空间分辨率不高时未曾认识到的,该低值中心年内水汽差异很大,夏季是冬季的6倍之多;水汽密度分布与之类似。祁连山区逐月单位面积垂直累积水汽含量呈单峰型变化,6-9月是水汽分布最多的时段,进入冬季起水汽含量快速减少。近37年来,祁连山区空中水汽年保有量呈现增加趋势,这也与同时段疏勒河与黑河径流量的逐步上升趋势是一致的,但不同季节表现态势不同,夏、秋季整体呈增加趋势,冬、春季呈减少趋势。

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.
