盐尘暴及其生态效应

总结了盐尘暴的概念及其一般特征,系统分析了盐尘暴的发生条件、分布、扩散沉积和生态效应。盐尘暴是由干旱、半干旱地区干涸湖底蒸发盐风蚀所致的一种化学尘暴;大面积松散富盐沉积物和频繁的大风天气是其发生的基本条件;盐尘暴扩散过程中沉积通量和化学组分随迁移距离表现出明显的分异规律;盐尘暴扩散导致干旱区“盐随风来”,致使土壤盐渍化,加剧冰雪消融,抑制植物叶片对营养元素的正常吸收。系统认识盐尘暴对干旱区灾害防治和生态建设具有重要指导意义。     

柴达木盆地沙尘暴天气影响因素

以柴达木盆地9个地面气象站点1961—2016年的逐日观测资料,分析该地区沙尘暴发生频率与气象因子和地表因子的关系,对比沙尘暴发生日与未发生日的气象因子和地表因子的差异。结果表明:①柴达木盆地沙尘暴日数与风速、大风日数有显著正相关关系,是影响最大的气象因子;气温与沙尘暴日数存在正相关性,但各地区有差异;相对湿度和降水对沙尘暴日数有明显的抑制作用;日照时数与沙尘暴日数存在弱的正相关关系。②植被对沙尘暴有抑制作用,但对柴达木盆地北部沙尘暴日数的抑制作用不显著;冻土深度对沙尘暴的影响存在滞后效应,滞后时间为2—3月。③沙尘暴发生时日最低气温偏高,相对湿度偏大,降水偏多,风速明显偏大,日照时数偏小,气温(地温)差偏小;日照时数小是沙尘暴发生的必要不充分条件。     

北极涛动对华北沙尘暴频次的影响

This study has investigated the influence of Arctic Oscillation (AO) on dust storm frequency in North China in spring seasons during 1961 2007.There is a significant linkage between dust storm frequency and AO;a negative (positive) AO phase is related to an in-creased (decreased) dust storm frequency in North China.This relationship is closely related to changes in the cold air activity in Mongolia.The cold air activity exerts large impacts on the dust storm frequency;the frequency of cold air activity over Mongolia not only positively cor-relates with the dust storm frequency in North China,but also shows a long-term decreasing trend that is an important reason for the long-term decreasing of dust storm frequency in North China.The AO has large influence on the frequency of cold air activity over Mongolia;a negative (positive) AO phase is highly related to an increased (decreased) frequency of cold air activity over Mongolia,which results in an increased (decreased) dust storm frequency in North China.

层次分析法在下垫面因子影响沙尘暴危险度研究中的应用

沙尘暴是一种危害严重的气象灾害,其形成依赖于大气环流和沙质地表两种不同密度的物理介质的相互作用,风力条件和下垫面的性质是影响沙尘暴强度和危害程度的两个重要因素。减轻沙尘暴危害的有效方法就是改善沙尘暴源地的下垫面状况,但这需要评估下垫面各因子在不同天气、气候背景条件下对沙尘暴发生的影响程度。从下垫面的角度出发,以内蒙古中西部地区为例,利用气象资料和实测数据,应用AHP方法对下垫面定性与定量因子进行综合分析,得出不同地区下垫面因子对沙尘暴发生作用的权重,为从下垫面角度研究沙尘暴危险度奠定基础。     

中国北方沙尘暴现状及对策

中国北方主要包括:甘肃河西走廊及内蒙阿拉善盟;新疆塔克拉玛干沙漠周边地区;内蒙阴山北坡及浑善达克沙地毗邻地区和蒙陕宁长城沿线四个主要沙尘暴中心和源区。我国沙尘暴从20世纪50年代以来呈波动减少之势,90年代在减少中有回升,2000年和2001年更是急剧增加,预示着新一轮沙尘暴活跃期已经开始。生态环境恶化和气象条件的变化是我国北方沙尘暴增多的原因。目前人类控制天气的能力还很有限,减缓沙尘暴灾害频度与强度的关键在于搞好地面的生态保护与建设。坚持"预防为主、保护优先、防治并重"的生态保护与建设方针;建立和完善生态保护的法规和政策体系,停止导致生态环境继续恶化的一切生产活动,对于超出生态承载能力的地区可以采取一定的生态移民措施。     

我国北方春季沙尘暴与气候因子之关系

利用我国北方1954—2005年470个站点的春季沙尘暴资料和相应的气候资料,在合理区划沙尘暴易发地区的基础上,采用气象统计分析中的相关分析方法,对沙尘暴与气温、降水量、相对湿度、地温、风速、风蚀指数等气候因子间的相关性进行了统计分析,研究各个区域沙尘暴发生的气候特征,并提出了春季沙尘暴多发的简单气候概念模型。结果表明:①气候要素与我国北方春季沙尘暴的发生有一定的耦合关系,南疆的沙尘暴与气候要素的相关性最好,而北疆的最差。与沙尘暴相关性最好的气候因子是风速,其次是风蚀指数。②我国北方春季沙尘暴多发的简单的气候概念模型:前期（前冬）,北、南疆地区较常年多干冷的西北气流;青藏东南地区和柴达木地区多暖湿的西南气流;河西地区、河套地区和东北地区为冷湿的偏西气流偏多。同期（春季）,北、南疆地区较往年干燥且多大风;青藏东南地区和柴达木地区暖干;河西地区、河套地区和东北地区冷且多大风。     

Dust storms evolution in Taklimakan Desert and its correlation with climatic parameters

Based on the sand dust storms data and climatic data in 12 meteorological stations around sand dust storm originating areas of the Taklimakan Desert, we analyzed the trends of the number of dust storm days from 1960 to 2005 as well as their correlations with temperature, precipitation, wind speed and the number of days with mean wind speed ≥ 5 m/s. The results show that the frequency of dust storm events in the Taklimakan region decreased with the elapse of time. Except Ruoqiang and Minfeng, in the other 10 meteorological stations, the frequency of dust storm events reduces, and in 4 meteorological stations of Kuqa, Korla, Kalpin and Hotan, the frequency of dust storm events distinctly decreases. The temperature has an increasing trend, while the average wind speed and the number of days with mean wind speed ≥ 5 m/s have decreasing trends. The correlation analysis between the number of days of dust storms and climatic parameters demonstrates that wind speed and the number of days with mean wind speed ≥ 5 m/s have strong positive correlation with the number of days of dust storms, with the correlations coefficients being 0.743 and 0.720 (p<0.01), respectively, which indicates that strong wind is the direct factor resulting in sand dust storms. Whereas precipitation has significant negative correlation with the number of days of dust storms (p<0.01), and the prior annual precipitation has also negative correlation, which indicates that the prior precipitation restrains the occurrence of sand dust storms, but this restraining action is weaker than the same year’s precipitation. Temperature has negative correlation with the number of dust storm days, with a correlations coefficient of –0.433 (p<0.01), which means that temperature change also has impacts on the occurrence of dust storm events in the Taklimakan region.     

沙尘源区与沉降区气溶胶粒子的理化特征

在沙尘源区 ,大气气溶胶粒子主要是地面沙尘来源 ,沙尘暴发生时气溶胶粒子的浓度大增 ,浓度峰值向粗粒径范围移动 ;在沙尘沉降区日本 ,当浮尘期时气溶胶粒子有地面沙尘和工业排放物两个来源 ,形成双峰型分布 ,当非浮尘期时气溶胶粒子主要以工业排放来源为主 ,在 <2 .1um细粒径范围形成一个峰值。水溶性成分也不相同 ,沙尘源区粒子以Ca2 +、SO42 -、Na+、Cl-等沙尘来源离子为主 ,在 3.3～ 4 .7um形成浓度峰值 ;沙尘沉降区以NH4+、SO42 -、NO3 -等工业来源离子为主 ,在 0 .6 5～ 1.0 1um形成峰值。在日本即使是当浮尘时期 ,大气中的气溶胶粒子浓度也远远比不上沙尘源区沙尘暴发生时的大气气溶胶浓度。这说明能够到达日本沉降区的气溶胶粒子只是沙尘源区大气气溶胶中的很少一部分     

THE STORM OF NOVEMBER 1826 IN THE CANARY ISLANDS: POSSIBLY A TROPICAL CYCLONE?

This work analyses a storm that occurred in the Canary Islands early in November 1826. Through a study based on historical climate data, some of the adverse effects of the storm are described and some of the possible causes are discussed. The main goal of this work is to establish an approximate reconstruction of this historical event which will allow us to compare it to a recent meteorological event that had a great impact on the archipelago: “Tropical Storm Delta”, in November 2005. Studying and reviewing the origin of the 1826 storm verifies the hypothesis that extremely violent perturbations have not only occurred in the Canaries on other occasions, but that these past events were also more intense and had more serious consequences than Delta. Therefore, the idea that other tropical perturbations have occurred in the region of the Canary Islands before Delta is presented.     

内蒙古中西部地面感热通量影响沙尘暴的观测分析

利用内蒙古中西部不同地表类型的16个测站2005—2006年3—5月逐小时地面观测资料和逐日沙尘暴资料,计算了地面感热通量、地面位温并分析它们与沙尘暴的关系,结果发现:在内蒙古中西部春季地面感热通量表现为净加热,且沙尘暴发生次数多的年份净地面感热加热强度反而较小。在沙尘暴发生前,沙漠区和高平原区地面感热通量达到最大,而丘陵和平原地区反而开始降低。对于沙尘暴发生前12 h累积的地面感热加热强度及导致的地面位温上升幅度,高平原和丘陵平原区要强于沙漠区。但相对而言,沙漠和高平原地区地面感热加热影响沙尘暴的“效率”更高。     

土地利用变化对鄂尔多斯高原周边地区沙尘暴的影响

以鄂尔多斯高原周边地区为例 ,研究土地利用变化对沙尘暴的影响 ,建立了多年平均沙尘暴日数与沙漠化土地面积百分比之间的关系。该关系表明 ,当沙漠化土地面积百分比Rd大于 30 %以后 ,沙尘暴日数随Rd的增大而急剧增加。年均沙尘暴日数与耕地面积和大风日数之间的回归方程 ,结果表明 ,耕地面积减少和大风日数减少对沙尘暴减少的贡献率分别为5 9 7%和 4 0 3%。通过在干旱、半干旱脆弱生态条件下的地区进行土地利用结构调整和退耕还草 ,恢复草原生态系统 ,可以在一定程度上减低沙尘暴发生的频率。     

近50年北京的沙尘天气及治理对策

2000年春天北京出现多次沙尘天气,多为扬沙和浮尘。从北京50a的沙尘天气观测资料分析:① 71%为扬沙,浮尘和沙尘暴分别占20%和9%,沙尘为就地起沙,而沙尘暴和浮尘则来自内蒙古高原中部农牧交错地区;②风沙天气是呈波动式减少的,其中可以分出4个11~14a的周期性变化,2000年,进入新的一轮变化周期,这一轮的风沙天气仍以扬沙为主,沙尘暴强度很弱。从过去的变化规律看,至少在未来的4~5a之内,不会发生类似去年沙尘天气猛增的现象。继续绿化首都的环境,减少就地起沙;在沙尘暴和浮尘源区划定旱作农业北界,科学地实施"退耕还林还草"是解决北京风沙问题的关键。

A 3D multi-threshold,region-growing algorithm for identifying dust storm features from model simulations

Dust storms cause significant damage to health, property, and the environment worldwide every year. To help mitigate the damage, dust forecast models simulate and predict upcoming dust events, providing valuable information to scientists, decision makers, and the public. These simulation outputs are in four-dimensions (i.e., latitude, longitude, elevation, and time) and represent spatially heterogeneous dust storm features and their evolution over space and time. This research investigates and proposes an automatic multi-threshold, region-growing-based algorithm to identify critical dust storm features from 3D dust storm simulations. A multi-threshold scheme is defined for the identification of dust storm features with different dust concentrations. Based on the multi-thresholds, dust storm features are iteratively identified by developing a region-growing algorithm that splits a clustered dust storm feature into multiple sub-features. The proposed approach is compared with three commonly used methods in image processing and thunderstorm identification. The proposed approach outperforms the other three methods in sensitivity and quantitative/qualitative accuracy. This research approach may also be slightly adjusted to identify critical 3D features from simulation outputs for other severe weather and geographical phenomena.     

The Circulation Dynamical Structure of a Severe Dust Storm Process in Northwest China

塔克拉玛干沙漠沙尘演变及气候因素分析

Based on the sand dust storms data and climatic data in 12 meteorological stations around sand dust storm originating areas of the Taklimakan Desert, we analyzed the trends of the number of dust storm days from 1960 to 2005 as well as their correlations with temperature, precipitation, wind speed and the number of days with mean wind speed 〉 5 m/s. The results show that the frequency of dust storm events in the Taklimakan region decreased with the elapse of time. Except Ruoqiang and Minfeng, in the other 10 meteorological stations, the frequency of dust storm events reduces, and in 4 meteorological stations of Kuqa, Korla, Kalpin and Hotan, the frequency of dust storm events distinctly decreases.

The correlation analysis between the number of days of dust storms and climatic parameters demonstrates that wind speed and the number of days with mean wind speed 〉 5 m/s have strong positive correlation with the number of days of dust storms, with the correlations coefficients being 0.743 and 0.720 （p〈0.01）, respectively, which indicates that strong wind is the direct factor resulting in sand dust storms. Whereas precipitation has significant negative correlation with the number of days of dust storms （p〈0.01）, and the prior annual precipitation has also negative correlation, which indicates that the prior precipitation restrains the occurrence of sand dust storms, but this restraining action is weaker than the same year＇s precipitation. Temperature has negative correlation with the number of dust storm days, with a correlations coefficient of -0.433 （p〈0.01）, which means that temperature change also has impacts on the occurrence of dust storm events in the Taklimakan region.     

2009年中国一次沙尘暴过程中的水汽变化特征及WRF回报

通过对2009年4月22日至25日发生在甘肃、宁夏、内蒙古的一次沙尘暴观测和模拟回报试验,分析了沙尘暴过程中水汽及水热的变化特征,检验了天气研究和预报模式（WRF）对沙尘暴过程的模拟能力。结果表明,WRF能较好地再现出沙尘暴过程中水汽变化的基本特征。沙尘暴发生前,地面感热明显增加,大气中水汽明显减少。在沙尘暴过程中,扩散作用和气溶胶的凝结作用影响水汽的变化,而水汽的垂直方向变化较小;高空云水和云冰含量异常偏小,低层大气的温度和水汽含量下降。热力诊断的结果表明,沙尘暴过程中,由于水汽的相变,在600～800 hPa高度处,水汽凝结产生的视热源的加热率高达6 ℃·d-1,表明非绝热加热作用在沙尘暴的维持和发展起着重要的作用。     

春季天气变率对华北沙尘暴频次的影响

利用欧洲中期数值天气预报中心再分析资料及地面台站观测资料,分析华北春季沙尘暴日数与500 hPa月平均环流及与近地面环流天气变率长期变化的关系,分析时段为1962~2000年。研究发现华北地区春季沙尘暴频次与东亚地区中高纬度500 hPa高度场有显著的负相关,相关中心区在蒙古国及西伯利亚一带,这可能说明高空环流场在这种形势下易于造成高纬度冷空气南下,因此使得华北沙尘暴频次增加。天气过程是形成沙尘暴的直接原因,东亚地区天气变率存在明显的年际和长期变化,研究发现天气变率与沙尘暴频次之间有非常显著的关系：当天气尺度变率增大 (减少) 时,沙尘暴频次也增加 (减少)。其中具体分析了850 hPa低压和地面冷高压活动与沙尘暴的关系,发现东北低压及自蒙古和西伯利亚南下的冷空气活动都对华北沙尘暴频次有明显的影响。近40年来东亚天气变率有显著的减弱趋势,这也在很大程度上解释了沙尘暴频数的显著减少。另外,北极涛动对东亚天气变率和华北沙尘暴频次的年际变化也有一定的影响,北极涛动强的年份华北沙尘暴次数偏少。     

沙尘暴期间的温度脉动特征分析

 对沙尘暴期间的近地表0.5 m、1.0 m、8.0 m和16 m的高频风速和温度进行了同步测量,风速和温度的测量频率均为50 Hz。结果表明,4月24日发生在民勤地区的沙尘暴的前2 h为特强沙尘暴,其后为沙尘暴阶段,且在24—27日的沙尘暴期间风速经历了3个增大、平稳和衰减的变化阶段。对第一阶段(24日19时至25日18时)的分析表明,特强沙尘暴期间温度的脉动强度明显增大,其变化原因是温度平流输送引起的,而在其后沙尘暴阶段,温度的均值和脉动强度的变化则基本上是辐射变化导致的。对温度脉动的概率密度计算结果表明,沙尘暴期间温度脉动服从高斯分布,说明它不受沙尘颗粒的影响;而温度脉动的谱分析表明,在低于1 Hz的频率范围内证实了浮力标度区的存在,当频率高于1 Hz时分析表明,夜间和正午的温度谱有明显区别。
