城市化对咸宁地区风速和相对湿度的影响分析

利用1981—2014年的地面观测资料、NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,根据卫星数据实现城郊站点分类,选取赤壁站作为城市站,崇阳站作为郊区站,分析咸宁地区相对湿度和风的年和季节变化特征,并采用UMR(Urban Minus Rural)方法和OMR(Observation Minus Reanalysis)方法定量解析城市化对咸宁地区相对湿度和风速的影响。结果表明:近34年来城区和郊区的风速分别以-0.18 m·s~(-1)/10a和-0.05 m·s~(-1)/10a的速率逐渐减小,UMR值(城郊距平差)的变化趋势为-0.13 m·s~(-1)/10a,对应的城市化贡献率为75%,城市化对风速的影响在夏季最为明显,其贡献率为100%。近34年来城区和郊区的相对湿度分别以-1.34%/10a和-2.49%/10a的速度减小,且郊区减小的幅度大于城区的,近10年来城区的相对湿度开始大于郊区的,城市化对咸宁地区相对湿度的影响表现为由"干岛效应"向"湿岛效应"的转换,且"湿岛效应"在夏季表现最为明显。利用UMR和OMR方法计算的风速和相对湿度的变化趋势较为一致,但UMR计算结果表明城市化对风速减小及相对湿度增加的影响更为显著,能更好地反映城市化进程对咸宁地区相对湿度和风速的影响。     

北京地区降水空间分布及城市效应分析

利用1971-2010年北京地区20个测站降水资料和城市发展数据,分析了北京地区降水的大尺度变化趋势及局地降水的城市效应特征。结果表明:(1)北京地区年降水量具有大尺度变化特征,其线性倾向率为-9.12 mm·(10a)-1;(2)城市化缓慢期城市对降水影响不明显,而快速发展期则表现出明显的雨岛效应,城市化不仅使雨岛增强,还对城市下风向降水有一定影响;(3)受盛行风及热岛环流的共同影响,北京地区不同季节局地降水表现出不同的分布形态;(4)城市化过程对城区局地强降水日数存在增加效应。     

承德市干湿岛效应及其城市化影响分析

提出用城市站与郊区站相对湿度的差值作为干湿岛强度指标,利用趋势分析等统计分析方法,分析了承德市1964—2007年的空气湿度变化及城市化影响,结果表明：承德市近44 a空气湿度呈明显增加趋势,尤以近10 a最为明显,且由1988年以前的干岛特征逐渐转成了近10 a的湿岛特征,以夏季、秋季的湿岛效应最为明显,湿度场的明显变化主要来源于城市化影响。     

乌鲁木齐城市化进程对局地气候变化的影响研究

利用1976—2014年乌鲁木齐城区和郊区两个气象站的气温、降水、相对湿度和风速气象数据及1995—2014年乌鲁木齐市城市发展数据,运用线性趋势对比分析城区和郊区各气候要素的年际变化特征;采用相关分析法对城市化因子和气候要素进行了探讨。结果表明:城、郊区气温均呈明显的上升趋势,城区的年均气温高于郊区;城区降水量是郊区的3.93倍,增长速率是郊区的3.98倍;各年代城区相对湿度比郊区大,但呈下降趋势,郊区呈上升趋势;各年代郊区风速大于城区,郊区风速约为城区的2.35倍,均呈下降趋势。近20 a,乌鲁木齐城市化进程加快,对局地气候影响明显,其中对平均气温和相对湿度的影响最为显著。     

1960—2009年北京地区城市化背景下蒸发皿蒸发量的时空变化

利用1960—2009年北京地区20个气象台站的观测资料,分析了北京城区和郊区蒸发皿蒸发量的季节和年际变化趋势和特点,并探讨了城市化对北京地区局地气候的影响。结果表明:近50 a北京地区蒸发量有明显减小趋势,城区和郊区变化趋势分别为-88.1 mm/10a和-76.0 mm/10a。受城市化影响,北京城区蒸发量的变化主要与降水、日照时数、最低气温、气温日较差和平均风速的变化有关;郊区蒸发量的变化主要受相对湿度、日照时数、平均风速和空气饱和差的变化影响。总体而言,相对湿度、日照时数、最低气温、气温日较差和平均风速的变化对北京地区蒸发量的变化有显著影响。

北京地区夏季极端降水变化特征及城市化的影响

应用北京地区20站1971—2010年降水记录及城市发展数据,采用百分位方法定义极端降水事件的阈值,分析了北京地区夏季极端降水事件的时空变化特征及城市化的影响。结果表明：(1)北京夏季极端降水阈值及频数存在较强局地性特征,基本沿地形高度分布,极端降水频数多发区与高阈值区不完全对应;(2)近40年极端降水频率及强度均呈现下降趋势,年际及年代际差异显著;(3)城市化发展不同阶段极端降水强度及频数均有不同的分布形态,城市化对城市不同区域极端降水影响不一样,城市化导致城市下风向近郊区极端降水强度、次数均表现为增多趋势;(4)城市对极端降水的影响还与天气过程强度有关,强天气背景下城市对极端降水频数的影响程度高于对降水强度的影响。     

长沙城市化进程对局地气候的影响

利用1961—2010年湖南省长沙及周边郊县共5个气象站的逐日气温、降水和相对湿度观测数据,在对各气象要素资料序列进行均一性检验和订正的基础上,以郊县站作为背景场,系统地分析了长沙城市化不同阶段对城市气候的影响。结果表明:受城市化的影响,近50年长沙市区地面气温及其上升速率远高于郊县的,城市热岛效应明显,热岛效应对市区年平均气温的增温贡献率达30%,且主要出现在20世纪90年代之后,四季中城市化贡献率的最大值出现在夏季,秋季和春季的次之,冬季的最小。50年来长沙市区和郊县年降水量差值序列呈显著增加趋势,长沙城市雨岛效应较为显著,且主要发生在春季和夏季,城市化带来的雨岛效应加速了长沙降水结构两极分化,使城市内涝发生的概率进一步增大。50年来长沙市区和郊县年平均相对湿度及其差值的变化趋势均不显著,就全年平均而言,长沙的城市干岛效应并不明显,但近20年来干岛效应显著增强;分季节来看,近50年干岛效应主要发生在夏季。     

城市化与北京地区降水分布变化初探

根据北京地区城市化进展的程度,以1980年为分界点,将1961～1980年划分为城市化慢速期,1981～2000年划分为城市化快速期。利用北京地区14个标准气象站40年的降水量资料,研究了城市化对北京地区降水分布的可能影响。初步的研究结果表明:北京地区冬季降水量分布发生了显著的系统性的变化,即城市化缓慢期北京地区南部为降水较多地区,北部为降水偏少地区;城市化快速期相对降水量的分布则正好相反,南部地区变为降水较少地区,而北部变为降水偏多地区。其他季节,北京地区的相对降水量分布并未发生整体性的显著变化。造成冬季降水分布变化的原因可能是随着城市规模的扩大,北京冬季"城市热岛"和"城市干岛"效应增强进而使云下蒸发过程增强,造成城区及南部地区地面降水量减少。至于夏季降水分布并未发生系统性的变化,还需深入研究。以上结果与国内外的相关研究结论大相径庭。     

北京城区的“雨岛”“湿岛”、与“干岛”特征分析

根据近几年北京城、郊区测点资料对比分析发现,北京城区存在“三岛”现象。分析表明,干、湿岛现象并非由于降水差异而形成。夏季城区降水多于郊区,而冬季城、郊区降水量也几乎相同。但由于华北地区降水集中,城区硬下垫面排水快,故城区夏季温度较郊区低。冬季由于城区人工水面积较大,生产和生活用水较多,加上特有的热岛效应,湿度较郊区高。雨岛与城市阻障效应、热岛效应及污染物浓度较大有密切关     

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.
