中国天气发生器的降水模拟

A stochastic model for daily precipitation simulation in China was developed based on the framework of a ‘Richardson-type‘ weather generator that is an important tool in studying impacts of weather/climate on a variety of systems including ecosystem and risk assessment. The purpose of this work is to develop a weather generator for applications in China. The focus is on precipitation simulation since determination of other weather variables such as temperature is dependent on precipitation simulation. A framework of first order Markov Chain with Gamma Distribution for daily precipitation is adopted in this work. Based on this framework, four parameters of precipitation simulation for each month at 672 stations all over China were determined using daily precipitation data from 1961 to 2000. Compared with previous works, our estimation for the parameters was made for more stations and longer observations, which makes the weather generator more applicable and reliable. Spatial distributions of the four parameters are analyzed in a regional climate context. The seasonal variations of these parameters at five stations representing regional differences are discussed.Based on the estimated monthly parameters at 672 stations, daily precipitations for any period can be simulated. A 30-year simulation was made and compared with observations during 1971-2000 in terms of annual and monthly statistics. The results are satisfactory, which demonstrates the usefulness of the weather generator.

Specifically, it has been used in the following ways. 1) WG …     

中国天气发生器的降水模拟

天气发生器是气候影响评价研究的重要工具,在气候变化、地球生态系统及极端气候事件发生的风险分析等方面有着广泛的应用。为了建立一个适用于中国广大地区的天气发生器,需要对各种模拟模型及其参数的估计进行深入的研究。其中降水的模拟及其参数的估计是关键,因为气温、辐射等其他气候要素的模拟依赖于降水的发生。本文重点介绍了常用的随机降水模拟模型：两状态一阶马尔科夫链和两参数GAMMA分布。根据中国672个气象站点1961~2000年的逐日降水资料,计算了降水转移概率P (WD)、P (WW) 及GAMMA分布参数ALPHA和BETA,并分析了4个参数在中国各地的空间分布特征与不同地区各参数的季节分布特征。最后根据各地不同月份计算的四个降水模拟参数对中国各地的逐日降水进行模拟,并利用1971~2000年的实测数据对30年模拟结果在统计意义上进行了检验,模拟结果较好。     

Changes in daily extreme precipitation events in South China from 1961 to 2011

Based on the daily precipitation from a 0.5°×0.5° gridded dataset and meteorological stations during 1961-2011 released by National Meteorological Information Center, the reliability of this gridded precipitation dataset in South China was evaluated. Five precipitation indices recommended by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) were selected to investigate the changes in precipitation extremes of South China. The results indicated that the bias between gridded data interpolated to given stations and the corresponding observed data is limited, and the proportion of the number of stations with bias between -10% and 0 is 50.64%. The correlation coefficients between gridded data and observed data are generally above 0.80 in most parts. The average of precipitation indices shows a significant spatial difference with drier northwest section and wetter southeast section. The trend magnitudes of the maximum 5-day precipitation (RX5day), very wet day precipitation (R95), very heavy precipitation days (R20mm) and simple daily intensity index (SDII) are 0.17 mm·a-1, 1.14 mm·a-1, 0.02 d·a-1 and 0.01 mm·d-1·a-1, respectively, while consecutive wet days (CWD) decrease by -0.05 d·a-1 during 1961-2011. There is spatial disparity in trend magnitudes of precipitation indices, and approximate 60.85%, 75.32% and 75.74% of the grid boxes show increasing trends for RX5day, SDII and R95, respectively. There are high correlations between precipitation indices and total precipitation, which is statistically significant at the 0.01 level.

1951-2010年中国季平均降水高精度曲面建模分析

利用1951-2010年中国711个气象观测站的月降水资料,对多年季平均降水根据中国农业气候类型进行分区模拟。针对中国降水特点,首先分析了影响各分区降水的地理、地形因素及局部地形因素,利用多项式回归和逐步回归的方法对各分区降水进行了趋势拟合;在此基础上,采用改进的高精度曲面建模(HASM)方法,对各模拟区域去掉趋势后的残差进行迭代修正,并比较验证了模拟效果。同时,为保证HASM在边界附近的模拟精度,根据区域内站点间的距离,对每一分区设置一个缓冲区,将HASM实际插值区域扩展为缓冲区内的部分。模拟结果表明:HASM方法的模拟精度在不同区域不同季节内均比经典的插值方法模拟精度高。利用上述方法分析了同一季节各分区降水的分布特点,并模拟了不同季节内多年平均降水的空间分布状况,模拟结果符合我国降水的实际分布特点。     

1961—2015年中国降水面积变化特征研究

基于中国0.5°×0.5°逐月与逐日降水量网格数据集,采用线性趋势、克里金插值（Kriging）、森斜率等方法,分析1961—2015年中国3个自然区的降水量和降水面积的变化特征。结果表明：（1） 中国1961—2015年年均和季节平均降水量呈现由东南沿海向西北内陆递减的空间分布特征,中国一半以上的地区年均和四季降水量呈增加趋势。（2） 日变化特征上,东部季风区、西北干旱区和青藏高寒区均以小雨和中雨为主,其日降水面积多年平均值分别为：1 112.75×10³ km²、52.65×10³ km²,1 380.57×10³ km²、92.83×10³ km²,1 253.9×10³ km²、34.3×10³ km²,暴雨和大暴雨占的面积较小;三个区域不同等级日降水面积年内变化均符合二次函数曲线,三个区小雨日平均降水面积年际变化均呈略微减少趋势,青藏高寒区和西北干旱区大雨、暴雨和大暴雨均呈略微增加趋势,大暴雨整体波动较大。（3） 季节变化特征上,三个区四季均以小雨为主,暴雨和大暴雨所占面积较少。春季和秋季三个区小雨降水面积均呈减少趋势,春季和夏季三个区暴雨降水面积均呈增加趋势,冬季三个区中雨和大雨降水面积呈增加趋势。（4） 东部季风区春季和秋季,西北干旱区年均和四季,青藏高寒区春季、秋季和冬季不同等级降水量对应的降水面积均符合负指数分布规律。km²     

1961-2010 年中国降水强度变化趋势及其对降水量影响分析

探讨区域降水强度的时空变化趋势对于揭示区域气候变化规律、有效应对气候变化水资源影响等具有重要意义。利用756 个气象观测站1961-2010 年50 年逐日降水资料,分析了中国不同等级降水（小雨、中雨、大雨、暴雨及年均降水）强度的年际、年代际的变化趋势,以及不同等级降水变化在降水量增量中的贡献。结果表明：在年际变化中,降水强度总体呈现上升趋势,显著上升区域主要分布在中国东部秦岭-淮河线以南的地区;在不同等级降水强度中小雨强度变化趋势最为显著,中雨以上级别降水强度则相对稳定。在年代际变化中,各区域年代际降水强度变化差异明显,20 世纪60 年代和70 年代下降显著,80 年代、90 年代、21 世纪的前10 年则上升明显。此外,降水强度对降水量增量贡献由东至西呈“大-小-大-小”的相间带状分布;在中国西部,小雨、中雨、大雨强度对降水量增量起主导作用,而在中国东部暴雨降水强度在降水量贡献中起主导作用,且在东北区东南、黄淮海西北以及西南中部作用更加明显。

华北平原降水的长期趋势分析(英文)

The North China Plain (NCP) is the most important food grain producing area in China and has suffered from serious water shortages. To capture variation water availability, it is necessary to have an analysis of changing trends in precipitation. This study, based on daily precipitation data from 47 representative stations in NCP records passed the homogeneity test, analyzed the trend and amplitude of variation in monthly, seasonal and annual precipitation, annual maximum continuous no-rain days, annual rain days, rainfall intensity, and rainfall extremes from 1960 to 2007, using the MannKendall (M-K) test and Sen’s slope estimator. It was found that monthly precipitation in winter had a significant increasing trend in most parts, while monthly precipitation in July to September showed a decreasing trend in some parts of NCP. No significant changing trend was found for the annual, dry and wet season precipitation and rainfall extremes in the majority of NCP.A significant decreasing trend was detected for the maximum no-rain duration and annual rain days in the major part of NCP. It was concluded that the changing trend of precipitation in NCP had an apparent seasonal and regional pattern, i.e., precipitation showed an obvious increasing trend in winter, but a decreasing trend in the rainy season (July to September), and the changing trend was more apparent in the northern part than in the southern and middle parts. This implies that with global warming, seasonal variation of precipitation in NCP tends to decline with an increasing of precipitation in winter season, and a decreasing in rainy season, particularly in the sub-humid northern part.     

Daily precipitation changes in the semi-arid region over northern China

The semi-arid area in northern China is an agro-pastoral transition zone. The environment there is sensitive to climate variation, particularly to precipitation change. Daily precipitation records of 30-gauge stations from May to September during 1956–2000 are analysed in this study. The precipitation amounts show only slightly decreasing trends; however, some aspects of the rainfall characteristics display significant changes. Compared to the 1950s, rainy days have been reduced by about 8 days in the 1990s. Significant change is observed in the number of days when there is light rain (<10 mm day⁻¹). The days with light rain also show a significant tendency toward a stronger intensity, whereas those days with moderate and above moderate rains do not. At the same time, the long duration precipitation (3days) event is found to decrease remarkably with a linear trend of −5.6% per 10 years. In contrast, the frequency of long dry spells (10 consecutive days without rainfall) is becoming more frequent at a rate of 7.2% per 10 years. Taking 30 stations as a whole the maximum daily rainfall displays no evident trend. But the median of the maximums shows a step-like drop beginning in 1979 and the low values are notable until the early 1990s. This is coincident with the large-scale climate regime shift over East Asia, probably suggesting a response of regional daily precipitation extremes due to the change of the East Asian summer monsoon system.     

中国降水未来情景的降尺度模拟

基于长时间序列(1964～2007年)的全国降水观测数据, 结合经纬度数据以及DEM、 坡向、坡度等系列地形特征数据, 利用空间统计方法, 在构建年平均降水降尺度模型的基础 上, 运用高精度曲面建模(HASM)方法对经过降尺度分析的HadCM3的A1Fi、A2a和B2a 三种情景T1～T4时段的全国未来平均降水进行高精度曲面模拟。模拟结果显示, 在T1～T4 时段内, A1Fi、A2a和B2a三种情景的全国平均降水均呈持续增加趋势。其中, 平均降水在 A1Fi情景中增加速度最快, B2a情景中增加速度最慢;A1Fi和A2a两种情景的平均降水均呈 加速增加趋势, 而B2a情景的平均降水则呈减速增加趋势。模拟结果表明, 本文构建的降尺 度模拟方法可以有效地实现IPCC GCM 的低分辨率的降水情景数据降尺度转换成高分辨率的 降水数据。     

1961—2016年中国昼夜降水变化的时空格局

全球气候变暖背景下中国降水量变化的区域差异显著。基于1961—2016年期间,全国763个观测台站白昼和夜间的降水观测数据,分别从昼夜降水量、降水日数、降水强度以及对总降水量的贡献率等四个方面,解读中国九大流域昼夜降水变化的时空格局。结果表明：① 昼夜降水量变化的流域差异显著,可归纳为四种类型：昼夜同增型、昼夜同减型、昼增夜减型和昼减夜增型。② 流域总降水量变化与昼夜降水量密切相关。淮河流域降水量减少是由白昼降水量（-0.72 mm/a）减少所致,而黄河流域降水量减少则是由夜间降水量（-0.21 mm/a）减少所致。③ 干旱区、半干旱区及半湿润区的流域,昼夜大雨的雨量要高于昼夜暴雨;湿润区的流域,则表现为昼夜暴雨的雨量要高于昼夜大雨,尤其是珠江流域和东南诸河流域。④ 从全国尺度来看,白昼大雨、夜间大雨和暴雨对总降水量的贡献率超过10%,而白昼暴雨的贡献率约10%。湿润区流域昼夜暴雨对总降水量的贡献率高于昼夜大雨对总降水量的贡献率,而干旱区-半干旱区流域则相反。研究结果有助于深化认识全球变暖对区域日降水循环的影响。     

西北地区东部可利用降水的时空变化特征

 利用西北地区东部91站1961-2009年间的实测气温降水资料,分别计算了该区水分资源各分量降水、蒸发及可利用降水,使用REOF等统计方法,整体分析了该区可利用降水的时空变化特征。结果表明：西北地区东部水分资源匮乏且年际变化大,水分资源各分量时空分布极不均匀;总体上各分量从该区东南部向西北部递减,呈南多北少特征,其中该区东南侧的陕南、陇南、六盘山区及青藏高原东部部分地区年降水量、蒸发量和可利用降水量分别在500、200和200 mm以上,年降水可利用率在30%~50%,可利用降水标准差达80~110 mm,而该区西部的河西走廊和青海西部的年降水量不足50 mm、年可利用降水量不到10 mm,年降水可利用率不足10%,可利用降水标准差在20 mm以下;各分量夏季最大,冬季最小,5~9月是该区主要降水和可利用降水的集中期;降水在水资源各分量中起决定性作用,因此降水的小幅变化导致可利用降水的大幅变化是降水稀少的西北地区东部可利用降水资源匮乏的主要原因,但气温变化造成的影响也不可忽视;西北地区东部5~9月可利用降水异常分布的局域特征明显,常出现陇南、河东、高原、河西走廊等4种异常分布特征。近50 a来,区内可利用降水总体呈东部减少(六盘山区及陇南区尤甚),西部增加的变化格局。     

A graded index for evaluating precipitation heterogeneity in China

Precipitation heterogeneity has a nontrivial influence on human life. Many studies have analyzed precipitation heterogeneity but none have proposed a systematic graded index for its evaluation, and therefore, its true characteristics have not been expressed. After comparisons of various methods, the precipitation concentration degree (PCD) method was selected to study precipitation heterogeneity. In addition to the PCD, normal distribution functions, cumulative frequencies, and percentiles were used to establish a graded index for evaluating precipitation heterogeneity. A comprehensive evaluation of precipitation heterogeneity was performed, and its spatiotemporal variation in China from 1960 to 2013 was analyzed. The results indicated that (1) seven categories of precipitation heterogeneity were identified (high centralization, moderate centralization, mild centralization, normal, mild dispersion, moderate dispersion, and high dispersion) and (2) during the study period, the precipitation in more parts of China tended to be normal or dispersed, which is beneficial to human activities.     

印度洋SSTA对西北夏季空中可降水量的影响研究

利用近50年NCEP再分析月平均高度场、风场、地面气压,比湿以及NOAA重构海表温度资料,运用SVD及合成分析等方法,研究了印度洋SSTA对我国西北地区夏季空中可降水量的影响,结果表明前期秋季印度洋海温异常对预测夏季中国西北空中可降水量的变化特征具有明确的指示意义,而且关键区主要在赤道印度洋,如果印度洋秋季海温异常偏暖,则中国西北夏季空中可降水量异常偏少,反之亦然.同时发现由于印度洋秋季海温近50年有变暖趋势,使得中国西北夏季空中可降水量呈变少趋势.另外通过分析还发现,若印度洋秋季海温异常偏冷(暖),中国大陆上空从同期秋季到后期夏季500 hPa高度场呈西低(高)东高(低)型,这样新疆有明显偏弱(强),而期间南压夏季风也强(弱)于常年.冬季风弱(强)于常年,后期夏季我国西北地区东北部有异常偏强(弱)的偏南的水汽输送,使得空中可降水量异常偏多(少).     

复杂地形下降水的高空间分辨率插值方法研究

复杂地形山区降水格局在多种地形要素的综合影响下呈现出显著异质性特征,弱化了降水站点观测资料的空间代表性,限制了遥感及再分析产品的适用性及传统插值方法的准确性。常用的PRISM降水插值算法通过提取并权重化地形要素,借助加权最小二乘算法对降水站点观测数据进行空间插值,被广泛应用于降水产品制备。本文针对PRISM算法对中小地形地貌刻画能力不足的问题,在解析影响复杂地形降水模式的地形要素的基础上,改进了PRISM的地形要素计算与权重化过程,同时,考虑到实际日降水量的随机性,将改进后的PRISM嵌入到“平均态日降水—比值”插值框架,构建了适用于复杂地形的日降水插值算法MPRISMR。随后,以具有复杂地形特征的元江流域为例,通过交叉验证及与ERA5-Land和TRMM_3B42降水产品的对比分析,发现该算法具有较高的准确性与可靠性。结果表明,在元江流域23个气象站点上,MPRISMR的插值结果与观测值的相关系数、相对偏差的中位数分别为0.72、0.98%,总体上优于ERA5-Land和TRMM_3B42日降水产品。另外,MPRISMR插值结果的精度随时间变化更小,更为稳定。最后,研究基于MPRISMR制备了空间分辨率约3 km的元江流域日尺度降水格网数据。本文可为复杂地形的陆面模式或流域水文水质模型提供高精度降水驱动场数据产品,从而支持流域可持续管理决策。     

1960-2010年中国降水区域分异及年代际变化特征

利用1960-2010年中国1840个台站年降水量数据,采用经验正交函数(EOF)和旋转经验正交函数分解方法(REOF)对降水进行分区,并对各区降水的变化特征进行了研究.结果表明:基于多站点资料结合REOF方法实现的降水分区与中国降水实际区域分异特征比较符合,并与中国气候区划相一致.中国各区降水变化特征分析表明,东部各区降水在20世纪70年代末、80年代末-90年代初和21世纪初发生雨带的南北移动过程,其中夏季雨带的移动主要受东亚夏季风和大气环流年代际变化的影响.西北地区降水以1985/1986年为突变年,西北西部地区降水由前期偏少转为偏多,主要与来自阿拉伯海和里海异常偏多的水汽输送有关;西北东部地区降水由前期偏多转为偏少,主要与季风的年代际减弱有关.东北地区降水在80年代初由前期接近正常转为偏多,90年代末降水由前期偏多转为偏少,主要与季风和西北太平洋水汽输送的年代际变化相关.西南部各区降水阶段性变化明显,2000年以前西南东北部地区降水与西部地区基本呈反向变化,主要受青藏高原地形、东亚季风和副热带高压等因素的影响,降水阶段性变化明显、成因复杂.
