长江中下游流域旱涝急转事件特征分析及其与ENSO的关系（英文）

During recent decades,more frequent flood-drought alternations have been seen in China as a result of global climate change and intensive human activities,which have significant implications on water and food security.To better identify the characteristics of flood-drought alternations,we proposed a modified dry-wet abrupt alternation index(DWAAI)and applied the new method in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin(YRB-ML)to analyze the long-term spatio-temporal characteristics of dry-wet abrupt alternation(DWAA)events based on the daily precipitation observations at 75 rainfall stations in summer from 1960 to 2015.We found that the DWAA events have been spreading in the study area with higher frequency and intensity since 1960.In particular,the DWAA events mainly occurred in May and June in the northwest of the YRB-ML,including Hanjiang River Basin,the middle reaches of the YRB,north of Dongting Lake and northwest of Poyang Lake.In addition,we also analyzed the impact of El Ni?o Southern Oscillation(ENSO)on DWAA events in the YRB-ML.The results showed that around 41.04%of DWAA events occurred during the declining stages of La Ni?a or within the subsequent 8 months after La Ni?a,which implies that La Ni?a events could be predictive signals of DWAA events.Besides,significant negative correlations have been found between the modified DWAAI values of all the rainfall stations and the sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region within the 6 months prior to the DWAA events,particularly for the Poyang Lake watershed and the middle reaches of the YRB.This study has significant implications on the flood and drought control and water resources management in the YRB-ML under the challenge of future climate change.     

长江中下游流域旱涝急转事件特征分析及其与ENSO的关系

基于长江中下游流域75个雨量站1960-2015年的日降水资料,通过对原有的旱涝急转指数加以改进,定义了日尺度旱涝急转指数（Dry-Wet Abrupt Alternation Index, DWAAI）,全面分析长江中下游流域夏季（5-8月）旱涝急转事件的时空演变特征,并讨论了旱涝急转事件与事件发生前太平洋海表温度的关系。结果表明：① 改进的DWAAI综合考虑了事件前后期旱涝差异与急转快慢程度,筛选事件更加全面。② 总体来说,自20世纪60年以来,流域内发生旱涝急转事件的区域范围越来越广,事件频率和强度均具有逐年增长趋势。旱涝急转事件主要发生在5月和6月,且汉江水系、中游干流区间、洞庭湖水系北部和鄱阳湖水系西北部地区为事件高发区。③ 旱涝急转事件与事件发生前Nino 3.4区域海温持续异常偏低存在一定关系。在发生时间上,La Ni?a现象具有一定的先兆作用,41.04%的事件发生在La Ni?a现象衰亡期或现象结束后8个月内;在事件强度上,流域内站点的DWAAI与事件发生前第1~6个月的Nino 3.4区域海温异常值存在显著的负相关性,尤其是在鄱阳湖水系和中游干流区间,二者负相关性最强。研究结果可以为长江中下游流域防洪抗旱工作提供一定的依据。     

1960-2018年中国西南地区旱涝急转的时空变化特征

基于 1960—2018 年的逐日降水观测数据,采用日尺度旱涝急转指数（DWAAI）计算方法,以生态地理区为框架,识别并分析了西南地区旱涝急转事件的时空变化特征。结果表明：西南地区旱涝急转事件的发生次数在 1960—2010年有增加趋势,在 2011—2018 年快速减少;旱转涝事件多发生在春夏季（4~8 月）,涝转旱事件则跨越了春、夏、秋季（5~11 月）;在云南高原常绿阔叶林、松林区（VA5）,西双版纳山地季雨林、雨林区（VIIA3）,闽粤桂低山平原常绿阔叶林、人工植被区（VIA2）,旱涝急转事件主要发生在夏季,而在湘黔高原山地常绿阔叶林区（VA3）和四川盆地常绿阔叶林、人工植被区（VA4）,旱涝急转事件主要发生在春季;旱涝急转事件发生次数的空间分布呈现东北多、西南少的格局;2000 年以来旱涝急转事件在滇中南亚高山谷地常绿阔叶林、松林区（VIA3）和闽粤桂低山平原常绿阔叶林、人工植被区（VIA2）发生次数减少,但有加重趋势,呈现极端化特征。     

Sediment and Water Discharge Assessment on Santiago and Pánuco Rivers (Central Mexico): The Importance of Topographic and Climatic Factors

This study explores the main factors controlling sediment and water discharge in the Santiago and Pánuco Rivers, the two largest rivers of central Mexico. Both Santiago and Pánuco Rivers are sourced in the Central Plateau of Mexico and flow in an opposite direction. Santiago River flows over a tectonically active margin draining to the Pacific Ocean, and Pánuco River flows into the passive margin of the Gulf of Mexico. Mean annual and monthly values of suspended sediment load and water discharge spanning around 50 years were used to evaluate sediment load and water discharge in these two rivers. Our findings indicated that Santiago River delivers to the ocean around 45% more sediment than Pánuco River. However, we found that Santiago River has about half the water discharge of Pánuco River. The high river gradient along Santiago River is likely to enhance the net erosion and sediment transport capacity. Water discharge at Pánuco Basin is higher than in Santiago Basin because the annual rainfall is higher for the former. The difference in sediment and water discharge for both rivers are also related to El Niño Southern Oscillation events. Our results indicated that water discharge in Santiago River increases during El Niño and La Niña events. In contrast, Pánuco River is mostly affected by La Niña events.     

A Climatology of Northwest Missouri Snowfall Events: Long-Term Trends and Interannual Variability

The goal of this study was to develop a 50-yr. statistical climatology of snowfall occurrences using data from a dense network of cooperative station observations covering northwest and central Missouri, and these records were provided by the Missouri Climate Center. This included a study of the long-term trends and interannual variability in snowfall occurrence as related to sea surface temperature variations in the Pacific Ocean basin associated with the El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO). These trends and variations were then related to four synoptic-scale flow regimes that produce these snowfalls in the Midwest. The results demonstrate that during the snowfall season (Oct-April) the northwest Missouri region can expect about eight snowfall events which produce ≥3 in. (>7.5 cm) of accumulation. While no significant long-term trend in overall snowfall occurrence was found, a decrease in the number of extreme events (≥10 in., >25 cm) was noted. Also, fewer snowfall events were found during El Niño years, while more heavy snowfall events occurred during "neutral" years, and these results could be related to synoptic-scale variability. A closer examination of the results demonstrated that El Niño/La Niña related variability in snowfall occurrence was superimposed on longer-term NPO-related variability.     

鄱阳湖流域洪水变化特征及气候影响研究

Regionalization and Variability of Precipitation in Hawaii

Regions based on seasonal precipitation variability for Hawaii are determined using a principal components analysis applied to 124 stations for the period 1971-2000. Nine regions are delineated and are consistent with known precipitation patterns; leeward and windward stations are in separate regions on all islands. Within each region, the relationship between precipitation and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is examined using a correlation analysis with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the Niño 3.4 and Niño 1+2 indices. Precipitation is most frequently correlated with ENSO in the different regions using SOI and Niño 3.4. Using several nonparametric statistical tests, it is determined that while average precipitation received in Hawaii during El Niño events is significantly different from average precipitation (1971-2000) and from precipitation received during La Niña events, the relationship between precipitation and individual ENSO events within regions is rarely significant. Finally, during El Niño or La Niña events, average precipitation receipt across the regions co-varies during winter and summer under concurrent conditions and a one-season lag. Synoptic patterns are examined and indicate a deviation from average conditions during ENSO events that affects subsidence and precipitation patterns.     

近40a来长江流域≥10℃积温的时空变化特征

基于1970―2013 年长江流域131 个气象站点的日平均气温数据,采用气候倾向率、累积距平、M-K 检验及滑动T 检验等方法分析了该区≥10℃积温的时空变化特征。结果表明：1）突变时间较早的区域主要有嘉陵江流域,中游干流区,太湖流域和下游干流区（1997 年）;而岷江、沱江流域,鄱阳湖流域和洞庭湖流域较晚（2001年）;长江源头的金沙江流域最晚（2002 年）。2）在区域尺度上,1970 年以来,北亚热带、中亚热带和高原气候区日平均气温≥10℃积温的初日分别以-1.25、-1.39、-0.8 d/10 a 提前,终日分别以1.52、1.43、1.47 d/10 a 推后,持续日数以2.97、2.92、4.62 d/10 a 幅度延长。积温总体上分别以113.5、88.8、77.3℃/10 a 增加。3）≥10℃积温的年际变化存在明显的空间差异,积温增加幅度较大的地区主要集中在汉中―奉节―五峰―吉首―武冈―道县以东的长江中下游地区以及四川盆地、云贵高原、青海高原的个别站点。     

鄱阳湖流域水文变化特征成因及旱涝规律

本研究分析了1960-2008年鄱阳湖流域的气候和水文变化特征,用水量和能量平衡关系解释和印证了这些特征,并由此揭示了鄱阳湖流域水文变化特征的成因及干旱和洪涝发生的规律.得到以下主要结论:1)正常或偏湿年份鄱阳湖流域6月份容纳水量能力已达到饱和,若6-7月降水量超出正常年份,则流域超饱和,洪涝发生.长江中上游降水量7月份的异常偏多会对鄱阳湖流域的洪涝起触发和强化作用.2)鄱阳湖流域7-10月蒸发量大于降水量,特别是7-8月蒸发量大于降水量的一倍以上,所以若4-6月流域降水量少于平均年同期量的20％以上,则累积效应使秋旱发生.当初冬(11月)降水偏少时,秋旱可持续到来年的初春,形成严重的春旱.长江中上游降水量对鄱阳湖流域的春旱没有直接影响,但7-8月降水量偏少时则对秋旱起重要的强化作用.3)长江对鄱阳湖流域的水文过程和旱涝的发生、发展的影响主要在7-8月的“长江与鄱阳湖耦合作用”时期和9-10月的“弱长江作用”期.     

1960-2007年红河流域强降水事件频次和强度变化及其影响

利用中国境内红河流域23个气象站点1960-2007年的逐日降水数据,分析流域强降水事件频次和强度的变化特征及其相关影响。结果表明:①强降水频次和强度在空间上表现出由东南向西北逐渐递减的趋势,流域下游的河口-金平-绿春-江城一带为高值区,上游的巍山-南涧-弥渡一带则为低值区。②强降水频次和强度的变化趋势存在空间差异,趋势增加的站点大多分布在李仙江上游、元江中上游和藤条江流域,趋势减少的站点大多分布在李仙江下游、元江下游和盘龙河流域。③从流域整体来看,在α=0.05的显著性水平下,近48年来强降水频次和强度没有明显的上升趋势,频次和强度的趋势变化幅度分别为0.26 days/10a和0.18 mm·day^-1/10a;研究时段内频次和强度在时间变化上没有显著突变点。④基于相关统计数据分析强降水变化的影响,表明近20年间强降水频次和强度的增加,增大了局部地区滑坡泥石流、洪涝灾害的风险,河流泥沙含量也随之增加。     

长江中游城市群城市网络空间结构研究

按照"点"→"线"→"面"→"网络"的分析思路,运用分形理论、引力模型、隶属度模型、空间句法模型、时间-空间可达性模型,研究2013年长江中游城市群31个城市的网络空间结构。结果表明:(1)在"点"层次上,长江中游城市群首位城市武汉为超大城市且垄断地位较强,城市体系呈序列型分布,规模结构呈"橄榄状"态势。(2)在"线"层次上,长江中游城市群城市联系整体偏弱,骨干联系由武汉、长沙、南昌组成,武汉城市圈、长株潭城市群和环鄱阳湖城市群内部城市间联系较强,3个省会城市与其腹地城市间呈星形结构特征。(3)在"面"层次上,长江中游城市群形成武汉、长沙、南昌3个辐射中心,在西北—东南方向呈现"中间高、两端低"的特征,武汉—南昌辐射连片趋势较明显。(4)在"网络"层次上,长江中游城市群城市网络的时间、空间可达性格局基本一致,与拓扑可达性存在一定偏差。时间、空间可达性格局中心向南、西北、东北方向沿长江河谷地带出现"波峰",受桐柏山、幕阜山影响在北、东南方向分布"波谷"。在路网的发育方面,武汉城市圈发育最好,长株潭城市群受地形影响最大,环鄱阳湖城市群发育最均衡。     

Aeolian Destabilization Along the Mojave River,Mojave Desert,California: Linkages Among Fluvial,Groundwater, and Aeolian Systems

It has been suggested by some that warm El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have become stronger and more frequent as a result of global warming. This study aims to investigate whether there is any evidence for changes in the behavior of the ENSO phenomenon that may be attributed to global warming. Cluster analysis is carried out to group warm and cold events by various characteristics using the U.K. Climatic Research Unit air-temperature anomaly data set for the period 1856-1999. Analysis of the resulting groups of events and their relation to global temperature changes gives rise to various conclusions. First, the cold (La Niña) phase of the ENSO phenomenon has been more stable in the period of study than the warm (El Niño) one. Second, average strength warm events seem to be more frequent immediately preceding and during periods of steep global temperature rise, supporting the idea (Hunt, 1999) that more frequent El Niños are a short-term response in ocean-atmosphere coupling to rising global temperature.     

Precipitation cycles in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River （1736-2000）

Based on the long-term precipitation series with annual time resolution in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and its four sub-regions during 1736-2000 reconstructed from the rainfall and snowfall archives of the Qing Dynasty, the precipitation cycles are analyzed by wavelet analysis and the possible climate forcings, which drive the precipitation changes, are explored. The results show that： the precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River has inter-annual and inter-decadal oscillations like 2-4a, quasi-22a and 70-80a. The 2-4a cycle is linked with El Nino events, and the precipitation is lower than normal year in the occurrence of the El Nino year or the next year; for the quasi-22a and the 70-80a cycles, Wolf Sun Spot Numbers and Pacific Decadal Oscillation （PDO） coincide with the two cycle signals. However, on a 70-80a time scale, the coincidence between solar activity and precipitation is identified before 1830, and strong （weak） solar activity is generally correlated to the dry （wet） periods; after 1830, the solar activity changes to 80-100a quasi-century long oscillation, and the adjusting action to the precipitation is becoming weaker and weaker; the coincidence between PDO and precipitation is shown in the whole time series. Moreover, in recent 100 years, PDO is becoming a pace-maker of the precipitation on the 70-80a time scale.     

TREE-GROWTH RESPONSE TO ENSO EVENTS IN THE CENTRAL COLORADO FRONT RANGE

The influence of climate associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events on tree growth in the central Colorado Front Range is investigated through the analysis of two high altitude tree-ring chronologies. Dendrochronological techniques are used to determine if ENSO-related climatic effects are detectable in tree-ring width patterns in the central Colorado Front Range. The form of the tree-growth response is identified and the variability of the influence of these events on tree growth over time is investigated. Results indicate that tree growth in this area does respond to ENSO events, but the response varies with species and type of event. El Niño-influenced climate tends to result in larger tree rings the year of or year following the event, while La Niña-influenced climate tends to result in smaller rings the year after the event, reflecting spring moisture conditions. Trees have a more consistent response to La Niña events, but El Niño events seem to have a greater effect on extremes in growth. The relationship between the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and tree growth has varied over time, probably because of the fact that ENSO events, characterized by the SOI, vary in magnitude and amplitude.

植被恢复与气候变化影响下的鄱阳湖流域蒸散时空特征

蒸散是地球表层物质循环与能量交换过程的重要组成部分,了解其时空特征和影响因素具有重要的科学意义。以鄱阳湖流域为研究区,基于WaSSI-C生态水文模型,利用气象数据、叶面积指数数据和土壤数据等估算1983-2011年鄱阳湖流域蒸散,分析其时空特征,并通过情景模拟定量分析植被恢复和气候变化对蒸散的影响。研究表明：鄱阳湖流域蒸散多年均值变化范围为741~914 mm/a,植被和降水量分布是造成流域蒸散空间差异的主要原因;近三十年来鄱阳湖流域蒸散呈阶段性增长趋势,增长率为1.495 mm/a;植被、气温和降水对鄱阳湖流域蒸散的单独影响均为正向,但气温和降水的联合效应会导致蒸散下降;鄱阳湖流域蒸散变化的主导因素具有空间差异性,从整体上看,植被恢复是驱动蒸散呈增加趋势的主要原因,而气候变化是导致蒸散年际波动的主要原因。     

The Relationship between El Niño and the Duration and Frequency of the Santa Ana Winds of Southern California

This study examines the variability of the duration and frequency of Santa Ana winds due to El Niño over a thirty‐three‐year period. Daily Weather Maps and NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis were used to study large‐scale upper‐level and surface circulation patterns during wind events. A Student's t‐test was used to determine statistically significant changes in the winds during March of El Niño winters. A significant decrease in the duration and frequency of wind events was found in March during El Niño. This can be attributed to the decrease in strength and frequency of the Great Basin high pressure and the increase in wintertime cyclones in southern California.     

Geospatial Analysis of Space–Time Patterning of ENSO Forced Daily Precipitation Distributions in the Gulf of Mexico

The Gulf of Mexico experiences significant changes in the distribution of daily precipitation totals that are linked to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). This research uses geospatial techniques to examine distribution patterns of ENSO-related precipitation. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test results comparing daily rainfall distributions for El Niño and La Niña are mapped at a 1° × 1° latitude/longitude resolution, and hotspot analysis using local Moran's I is performed to identify spatial clustering. Results indicate that ENSO-forced spatial and temporal variation in daily precipitation distributions influence large areas of the Gulf of Mexico region from August through January.     

1961-2016年渭河流域极端降水事件研究

基于1961-2016年渭河流域26个气象站点的逐日降水数据,选取与极端降水事件密切相关的9个指数,利用线性趋势法、Mann-Kendall突变点检验和方差分析等方法,揭示渭河流域极端降水事件的变化趋势、突变情况以及渭河流域上、中、下游降水情况的差异特征,对研究区未来极端降水事件提供科学预测和理论参考。结果表明:①渭河流域上、中、下游地区及整个流域的年总降水量分别以16.588 mm/10a、8.319 mm/10a、6.703 mm/10a和9.544 mm/10a的速率下降,表明渭河流域56 a来降水总量存在逐年减少的趋势,整个渭河流域地区呈现变干的趋势。②降水强度(SDII)、强降水总量(R95PTOT)和极端降水总量(R99PTOT)在整体上均呈现上升趋势,极端降水总量的上升趋势高于强降水总量,上游地区的上升趋势高于中下游地区,表明渭河流域极端降水强度有所增强,极端降水事件发生频率有所增大。③渭河流域出现极端降水事件的年份集中在20世纪90年代和21世纪初期,且降水情况的年际差异较大,中游地区的变化更为明显。④相关分析显示中下游地区对整个流域极端降水事件的发生情况起到较大的贡献...

Sub-daily rainfall events in an arid environment with marked climate variability: Variation among wet and dry years at Fowlers Gap,New South Wales,Australia

The nature of rainfall events is explored through six years of below average rainfall, associated with negative Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and three years of above average rainfall, associated with positive SOI (and strong La Niña conditions), at arid Fowlers Gap, Australia. There is a greater probability of rainfall in wet years, but the events themselves also change significantly. Rainfall depth per event was 116% larger on average in wet years than dry, and average event rainfall rate was 85% higher. However, these results are influenced by a small number of very large events in the wet years, and events of <2 mm occur at about the same rate in dry and wet years. Rainfall event profiles in dry years showed more Huff first quartile events likely to promote partitioning of rain into infiltration. In contrast, larger events in wet years showed a preponderance of Huff third quartile profiles likely to be associated with greater partitioning of rainfall into overland flow. This co-variation in rainfall event profile with annual rainfall, not previously described, is reasoned to increase the amplitude of ecological impacts of the SOI-related rainfall variability at this site.
