Spatiotemporal variation and mechanisms of temperature inversion in the Bay of Bengal and the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean

In the northern Bay of Bengal, the existence of intense temperature inversion during winter is a widely accepted phenomenon. However, occurrences of temperature inversion during other seasons and the spatial distribution within and adjacent to the Bay of Bengal are not well understood. In this study, a higher resolution spatiotemporal variation of temperature inversion and its mechanisms are examined with mixed layer heat and salt budget analysis utilizing long-term Argo（2004 to 2020） and RAMA（2...     

沙面温度对风蚀动力过程的影响

大量关于土壤可蚀性的研究证明,低温的沙面更易被风蚀。但大多研究以中低纬度低海拔地区为背景,建立的模型并不能完全适用于高海拔寒冷地区。我们使用青藏高原错那湖湖岸的地表沙,利用高低温实验箱调节沙面温度,开展了风洞模拟实验,量化了不同粒径、风速条件下风蚀率随沙面温度的变化关系,旨在分析地表温度对风蚀动力过程的影响及作用机制。结果表明：（1）沙面温度与风蚀率之间呈负线性相关,低温沙面更易被风蚀。这与空气温度影响风蚀过程的作用机理类似,即低温沙面可以增加近地表空气密度和气流拖曳力,使沙粒更容易起动,风蚀量也随之增大;另外,沙面与空气间的温差,会破坏大气稳定度,影响湍流强度,进而影响风蚀强度,这可能也是沙面温度影响风蚀过程的一种主要机制。（2）在自然情况下,寒冷沙面对水汽具有一定的冷凝效应,从而对沙粒的起动与风蚀过程起到抑制作用,而且这种冷凝效应,在低风速、粗颗粒沙面上表现得更为明显。（3）高温沙面可以在一定程度上抑制风蚀。作为影响高寒地区风力侵蚀过程的重要自然因素,沙面温度对青藏高原典型风沙区的风蚀过程起到了重要的控制作用。     

Biodiversity and invasibility: Distribution patterns of invasive plant species in the Himalayas,Nepal

Invasive plant species are exerting a serious threat to biological diversity in many regions of the world. To understand plant invasions this study aims to test which of the two plant invasiveness hypotheses; ‘low native diversity' vs. ‘high native diversity', is supported by the regional distribution patterns of invasive plant species in the Himalayas,Nepal. This study is based on data retrieved from published literatures and herbarium specimens. The relationship between invasive plant species distribution patterns and that of native plant species is elucidated by scatter plots, as well as by generalized linear models. The native plant species and invasive plant species have similar distribution patterns and the maximum number of invasive plant species is found in the same altitudinal range where the highest richness for native tree species is found. There is a clear trend of higher invasive plant richness in regions where native tree species richness is relatively high.Consequently, the native plant richness is highest in the central phytogeographic region, followed by the eastern and the western regions, respectively. The invasive plant species also follows a similar trend.Additionally, the invasive plant species richness was positively correlated with anthropogenic factors such as human population density and the number of visiting tourists. This study supports the hypothesis that ‘high native diversity' supports or facilitates invasive plant species. Further, it indicates that nativeand invasive plant species may require similar natural conditions, but that the invasive plant species seem more dependent and influenced by anthropogenic disturbance factors.     

城市网络的一种算法及其实证比较

城市网络链接是考察区域空间组织的重要途径,基于高级生产性服务业(APS)的城市网络算法分析更是国际上该领域方法论研究的热点。本文以区域空间和企业层级为视角,在新近出现的分区核心算法的基础上提出了在全计算过程中对单一公司进行网络分析的改进方法,实现了网络分析中地理和层级的特征表达,同时规避了原算法中公司—城市的二模网络数据合并为城市—城市的一模网络数据所导致的信息损失,并以此实现了社会网络统计工具在这一算法的拓展应用。实证研究中,运用该算法对中国两大典型城市区域——长三角、珠三角的25个城市进行了网络检验,结果表明:与连锁模型算法相比,改进后的分区核心算法不但呈现出明显的层级特征和地理空间特征,并且邻近性、中间性、出度、入度等统计量得以运用,拓宽了生产性服务业城市网络的研究视野;另一方面,也发现,由于理论模型假说的演绎分析决定了城市网络的实际形态,因此,后续的生产性服务业城市网络研究的一个创新途径即在于多类型城市流的实证归纳。     

库尔勒市城市化进程对生态环境的耦合分析

通过构建城市化综合指数和生态环境综合指数的指标体系,利用动态耦合过程模型,对库尔勒市2000-2010年城市化与生态环境耦合演化的趋势进行量化分析。结果表明:库尔勒市城市化指数和生态环境指数都呈线性增长,耦合发展度指数也呈现一种线形的上升趋势。从城市化综合指数和生态环境综合指数曲线看出,2006年以前城市化发展滞后生态环境建设,导致库尔勒市城市化与生态环境耦合协调一直以低度协调为主。当城市化发展到一定阶段,生态环境也会有改善,两者的耦合关系才会逐渐增强。     

Spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation based on corrected TRMM data around the Hexi Corridor, China

Accurate rainfall distribution is difficult to acquire based on limited meteorological stations, especially in remote areas like high mountains and deserts. The Hexi Corridor and its adjacent regions （including the Qilian Mountains and the Alxa Plateau） are typical districts where there are only 30 available rain gauges. Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission （TRMM） data provide a possible solution. After precision analysis of monthly 0.25 degree resolution TRMM 3B43 data from 1998 to 2012, we find that the correlations between TRMM 3B43 estimates and rain gauge precipitation are significant overall and in each station around the Hexi Corridor; however, the biases of annual precipitation differ in different stations and are seriously overestimated in most of the sites. Thus, Inverse Distance Weighting （IDW） interpolation method was used to rectify TRMM data based on the difference between TRMM 3B43 estimates and rain gauge observations. The results show that rectified TRMM data present more details than rain gauges in remote areas where there are few stations, alt- hough they show high coherence of distribution. Precipitation decreases from southeast to northwest on an annual and seasonal scale. There are three rainfall centers （〉500 mm） including Menyuan, Qilian and Toson Lake, and two low rain- fall centers （〈50 mm） including Dunhuang and Ejin Banner. Meanwhile, precipitation in most of the study area presents an increasing trend; especially in northern Qilian Mountains （〉5 mm/a）, Badain Jaran Desert （〉2 mm/a）, Toson Lake （〉20 mm/a） and Qingtu Lake （〉20 ram/a） which shows a significant increasing trend, while precipitation in Hala Lake （〈-2 mm/a） and Tengger Desert （〈-3 mm/a） demonstrates a decreasing trend.     

Response to climate change of different tree species and NDVI variation since 1923 in the middle arid region of Ningxia, China

The normalized difference vegetation index （NDVI） is used extensively to describe vegetation cover and ecological environ- ment change. The purpose of this study was to contrast the response of different tree species growing in the same habitat to climate change and retrieve past NDVI using tree-ring width data from tree cores collected from the transitional zone of Pinus tabulaeformis and Picea crassifolia in the Luoshan Mountains in the middle arid region of Ningxia. Correlation analysis indi- cated that radial growth ofP tabulaeJbrmis is more sensitive to precipitation and temperature change than that ofP crassifolia. Natural factors such as water availability and heat at this elevation are more suited to the growth ofP crassifolia, and are more advantageous to its renewal and succession. P. crassifolia is probably the better of the two species for protecting the forest ecosystem and conserving water in the Luoshan desertification area. Ring width of P. crassifolia correlates significantly with average NDVI for April-May （r =0.641, p 〈0.01）, and both of them are influenced positively by precipitation in April-May. The reconstructed NDVI for 1923-2007 shows the relatively low vegetation cover occurred in the 1920s-1930s, the 1960s-1970s, and the early 21 st century. The reconstructed NDVI better reflected the drought climate in the study area.
