Historical climate changes in southern Xinjiang

1 Introduction Southern Xinjiang has experienced tremendous changes in climate and eco-environment during historic times, for example, the rise and decline of oases and ancient towns, shrinkages and enlargement of lakes and changes in river system, etc. (Figure 1). All these can be attributable to the natural changes of climate and environment superimposed by human impacts. So, it is interesting and significant to reveal the inter-relation between natural climate changes and human抯 impact …     

南疆地区历史时期气候与环境演化

通过塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘具有较高的分辨率的尼雅剖面记录多指标的综合研究，结合南疆地区其他地质记录和历史资料，恢复了南疆历史时期（近4000年）以来气候与环境演化的特征与序列，共划分出3个相对冷湿期和3个相对暖干期，结果表明，此地区气候环境的演化在冷暖变化序列上基本吻合于我国东部地区，而在干湿波动上则具较为显著的西风型环境演变特征，同时还发现，南疆地区历史时期人类活动与气候环境演化之间存在非常密切的关系。     

塔里木盆地南缘尼雅剖面的孢粉组合与环境

根据尼雅剖面孢粉含量的分析，结合^14C年代、δ^13C和低步磁化率X1f值的变化，探讨了位于塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘尼雅地区近4000年来的气候环境演化。结果表明，近4000年来，此地区气候持续干旱，但期间仍有几次相对湿润的波动，即在约3600aBP前后（1650BC）、2500－1900aBP(550BC-50AD)和1400－1000aBP（550－950AD）期间，生态环境湿润程度有所增加。研究还表明，干旱区孢粉分析结果对于古植被、古气候环境的恢复以及古人类活动变迁的推测可提供较为有用的信息，剖面中1．70－1．60m(100BC－50AD）孢粉组合禾本科花粉含量的峰值很可能是古人类生产活动的影响所至。     

CMIP3气候模式对北疆气候变化模拟评估及未来情景预估

利用北疆地区1961～2000年气温、降水观测数据和CMIP3(phase 3of the CoupledModel Inter-comparison Project)提供的20个海气耦合模式在该地区的模拟结果,评估了各气候模式对北疆地区降水、气温的模拟效果。结果表明:各气候模式对气温、降水模拟效果差异较大。从对气候平均态的模拟来看,有5个模式对降水的模拟相对较好,2个模式对气温的模拟相对较好;所有模式均能模拟出气温的年内变化特征,其中MPI_ECHAM5模式结果与观测数据结果最为接近;但各模式对降水的模拟效果均较差。在月尺度上,一些模式结果与降水观测数据呈负相关性,但对于月气温,大多数模式与其相关性较好,且各模式间月气温均方根误差变化幅度相对较小。综合来看,大部分气候模式在该地区模拟能力比中国东部地区要弱;气候模式的降水数据包括多模式集合数据还不适合用于未来北疆地区降水变化预估分析。最后,采用累计分布函数法(CDF_S)仅对北疆地区2011～2050年时段的气温进行偏差校正与预估分析,结果表明未来40年北疆地区气温在三种排放情景下均呈上升趋势。     

Assessing changes in extreme precipitation over Xinjiang using regional climate model of PRECIS

In this paper, an analysis, with the simulation of PRECIS(Providing Regional Climate for Impact Studies), was made for future precipitation extremes, under SRES(Special Report on Emission Scenarios) A2 and B2 in IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) AR4. The precipitation extremes were calculated and analyzed by ETCCDI(Climate Change Detection and Indices). The results show that:(1) In Present Scenario(1961–1900), PRECIS could capture the spatial pattern of precipitation in Xinjiang.(2) The simulated annual precipitation and seasonal precipitation in Xinjiang had a significantly positive trend and its variability had been deeply impacted by terrain. There was a strong association between increasing trend and the extreme precipitation's increase in frequency and intensity during 1961–2008. Under SRES A2 and B2, extreme precipitation indicated an increasing tendency at the end of the 21 st century. The extreme summer precipitation increased prominently in a year.(3) PRECIS's simulation under SRES A2 and B2 indicated increased frequency of heavy precipitation events and also enhancement in their intensity towards the end of the 21 st century. Both A2 and B2 scenarios show similar patterns of projected changes in precipitation extremes towards the end of the 21 st century. However, the magnitude of changes in B2 scenario was on the lower side. In case of extreme precipitation, variation between models can exceed both internal variability and variability of different SRES.     

Changes in daily climate extremes in Xinjiang, northwestern China

Based on daily maximum and minimum surface air temperature and precipitation records at 48 meteorological stations in Xinjiang, the spatial and temporal distributions of climate extreme indices have been analyzed during 1961-2008. Twelve temperature extreme indices and six precipitation extreme indices are studied. Temperature extremes are highly correlated to annual mean temperature, which appears to be significantly increasing by 0.08 °C per year, indicating that changes in temperature extremes reflect consistent warming. The warming tendency is clearer at stations in northern Xinjiang as reflected by mean temperature. The frequencies of cold days and nights have both decreased, respectively by 0.86 and 2.45 d/decade, but the frequencies of warm days and nights have both increased, respectively by +1.62 and +4.85 d/decade. Over the same period, the number of frost days shows a statistically significant decreasing trend of 2.54 d/decade. The growing season length and the number of summer days exhibit significant increasing trends at rates of +2.62 and +2.86 d/decade, respectively. The diurnal temperature range has decreased by 0.28 °C/decade. Both annual extreme low and high temperatures exhibit significant increasing trend, with the former clearly larger than the latter. For precipitation indices, regional annual total precipitation shows an increasing trend and most other precipitation indices are strongly correlated with annual total precipitation. Average wet day precipitation, maximum 1-day and 5-day precipitation, and heavy precipitation days show increasing trends, but only the last is statistically significant. A decreasing trend is found for consecutive dry days. For all precipitation indices, stations in northwestern Xinjiang have the largest positive trend magnitudes, while stations in northern Xinjiang have the largest negative magnitudes.     

物候学方法在历史气候变化重建中的应用

利用历史物候记录重建的气候变化结果,显著地增进了人类对过去气候变化特征的认识。但现有研究在历史物候记录的提取与处理、重建方法的选择、重建结果的精度评估等方面需要进一步总结梳理。通过归纳历史物候记录的资料源以及在历史物候记录预处理过程中需要解决的物种鉴别和物候期确定问题,对现有重建方法进行总结,发现较早的研究采用了古今对比法,而近年来的研究多采用更为复杂的回归和过程模型法。上述物候学方法的重建结果对认识中世纪暖期、小冰期和近百年等典型时段的历史气候变化特征提供了重要依据,同时物候学方法重建结果与其他代用资料重建结果往往表现出较高的一致性。未来研究可在历史物候记录的整编与利用、重建方法的准确性评估与改进以及不同重建结果比对等方面,进一步深入开展工作。     

新疆伊犁河流域气候变化(英文)

In this paper, the monthly precipitation and temperature data collected at 7 stations in the Ili River Basin from 1961 to 2007 were analyzed by means of simple regression analysis, running mean, db6 wavelet function and Mann-Kendall test. This study revealed the characteristics of climate change and abrupt change points of precipitation and temperature during different time scales in the Ili River Basin within the past 50 years. The results showed that the precipitation increased from the mid-1980s until 2000 and has continued to increase at a smaller magnitude since 2000. Over the studied period, the precipitation increased significantly during the summer and winter months. The temperature increased greatly in the late 1980s, and has continued to show an increasing trend from the year 2000 to present. The temperature increases were most significant during the summer, autumn and winter months. In terms of different geographies, the temperature increase was significant during the winter in the plains and hilly regions; the increase was also significant during autumn in the intermontane basins. The climate change trends in the Ili River Basin were consistent with the changing trends of the North Atlantic Oscillation and the plateau monsoon.

Hydrology and water resources variation and its response to regional climate change in Xinjiang

Based on the surface runoff, temperature and precipitation data over the last 50 years from eight representative rivers in Xinjiang, using Mann-Kendall trend and jump detection method, the paper investigated the long-term trend and jump point of time series, the surface runoff, mean annual temperature and annual precipitation. Meanwhile, the paper analyzed the relationship between runoff and temperature and precipitation, and the flood frequency and peak flow. Results showed that climate of all parts of Xinjiang conformably has experienced an increase in temperature and precipitation since the mid-1980s. Northern Xinjiang was the area that changed most significantly followed by southern and eastern Xinjiang. Affected by temperature and precipitation variation, river runoff had changed both inter- annually and intra-annually. The surface runoff of most rivers has increased significantly since the early 1990s, and some of them have even witnessed the earlier spring floods, later summer floods and increasing flood peaks. The variation characteristics were closely related with the replenishment types of rivers. Flood frequency and peak flow increased all over Xinjiang. Climate warming has had an effect on the regional hydrological cycle.

新疆气候时空变化特征及其趋势(英文)

Temperature and precipitation time series datasets from 1961 to 2005 at 65 meteorological stations were used to reveal the spatial and temporal trends of climate change in Xinjiang, China. Annual and seasonal mean air temperature and total precipitation were analyzed using Mann-Kendall (MK) test, inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation, and R/S methods. The results indicate that: (1) both temperature and precipitation increased in the past 45 years, but the increase in temperature is more obvious than that of precipitation; (2) for temperature increase, the higher the latitude and the higher the elevation the faster the increase, though the latitude has greater influence on the increase. Northern Xinjiang shows a faster warming than southern Xinjiang, especially in summer; (3) increase of precipitation occurs mainly in winter in northern Xinjiang and in summer in southern Xinjiang. Ili, which has the most precipitation in Xinjiang, shows a weak increase of precipitation; (4) although both temperature and precipitation increased in general, the increase is different inside Xinjiang; (5) Hurst index (H) analysis indicates that climate change will continue the current trends.

近55 a新疆净生态系统生产力对气候变化的响应

新疆地处干旱和半干旱气候区,明确其生态系统的碳汇大小及其对气候变化的响应对研究中国干旱区植被碳汇及其对陆地碳平衡的贡献具有重要意义。基于最新地面气象观测数据,利用大气植被相互作用模型AVIM2（Atmosphere-Vegetation Interaction Model 2）,在0.05°×0.05°经纬度空间网格上估算分析了1961-2015年新疆净生态系统生产力（NEP）的时空分布特征及其对气候变化的响应。研究结果表明：近55 a新疆NEP平均值为14.4 gC·m^-2,没有明显变化趋势。空间上看,约40%地区的NEP呈下降趋势,主要分布在天山两麓的城市人口聚集区;而60%地区NEP呈上升走势,其主要分布在新疆昆仑山脉、天山山区和人烟稀少的荒漠地区。新疆NEP对降水量变化更为敏感,气温的变化对NEP的影响并不显著。虽然新疆平均碳汇随着年降水量的变化而在源与汇之间波动,但是从多年平均来看,新疆仍然为碳汇区。
