对WRI估计的温室气体排放量的重新评价

某些痕量气体如ＣＯ２、ＣＨ４、Ｎ２Ｏ和ＣＦＣｓ的大量排放，使得大气中这些温室气体（ＧｒｅｅｎｈｏｕｓｅＧａｓｅｓ）的浓度增加，很可能导致全球变暖。因而，最根本的措施是控制温控气体的排放以及现在国际上讨论的如何达到最适宜的温度气体排放限制的策略。

MULTIVARIATE SELECTION OF VARIABLES IN INDUSTRIAL QUALITY CONTROL:OPTIMIZING AVIATION FUEL FINAL CONTROL

This paper deals with a typical question encountered in all industrial analytical laboratories:are all thetests performed in the laboratory to characterize the final product really necessary?In this work the cross-validation technique,Procrustes rotation techniques and statistical variable selection have been used toreduce the 26 initial British Petroleum and ASTM kerosene specification tests to ten'essential'ones.Statistical as well as chemical considerations were used to select the optimum subset of original variablesto be retained from all the possible ones.     

温室内CO_2浓度的计算机控制及其在估算作物光合作用中的应用

本文介绍一个监测并控制五个玻璃试验温室内CO_2浓度的计算机自动控制系统。在计算机控制下,通过一个CO_2测定系统向每个温室输入纯CO_2气体,使其内部CO_2浓度与室外保持相等(CO_2浓度由红外气体分析仪测定)。在CO_2浓度测定的间隔期间,温室所需要的CO_2输入速率根据通风速率、未来的和现时的CO_2浓度计算确定。通过预先用N_2O气体跟踪确定的风机定位状态和风速的关系计算通风率。通过放在地面上的容器内获得的碳酸盐的重量观测土壤呼吸。在其它CO_2通量已确定后,用其剩余额估算作物净光合作用。该系统很可靠,且已在许多热带作物净光合作用的光响应特征曲线研究中得到应用。     

Sensitivity of medium-range weather forecasts to the use of reference atmosphere

In this paper, the authors develop the earlier work of Chen Jiabin et al. (1986). In order to reduce spectral truncation errors, the reference atmosphere has been introduced in ECMWF model, and the spectrally-represented variables, temperature, geopotential height and orography, are replaced by their deviations from the reference atmos-phere. Two modified semi- implicit schemes have been proposed to alleviate the computational instability due to the introduction of reference atmosphere. Concerning the deviation of surface geopotential height from reference atmos-phere, an exact computational formulation has been used instead of the approximate one in the earlier work. To re-duce aliasing errors in the computations of the deviation of the surface geopotential height, a spectral fit has been used slightly to modify the original Gaussian grid-point values of orography.A series of experiments has been performed in order to assess the impact of the reference atmosphere on ECMWF medium- range forecasts at the resolution T21, T42 and T63, The results we have obtained reveal that the reference atmosphere introduced in ECMWF spectral model is generally beneficial to the mean statistical scores of 1000-200 hPa height 10-day forecasts over the globe. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is a clear improvement for T21, T42 and T63 throughout the 10-day forecast period, In the Northern Hemisphere, the impact of the reference atmos-phere on anomaly correlation is positive for resolution T21, a very slightly damaging at T42 and almost neutral at T63 in the range of day 1 to day 4. Beyond the day 4 there is a clear improvement at all resolutions.
