多目标优选水下采油设施下放方法评价指标体系

水下采油设施下放是海上油气工程开发中的重要环节。经过长期发展,人们已研究出多种下放方法,但如何优选恰当的下放方法是尚待解决的问题。考虑海洋环境中可供数据源的复杂性、不确定性与不完整性,多目标、主客观要素并重是优选方法设计的重要准则。针对水下下放方法优选特点,建立对应评价指标体系。考虑评价指标体系多目标优选决策的特点,提出多目标非均一化灰色关联度模型;为更好地体现主客观要素并重并辩证表达决策者的主客观偏好,在非均一化处理中,运用回归原理与靶向偏差评价思想,提出变系数主客观权值修正模型。最后结合具体案例验证模型的可行性与有效性。结果表明,模型能够满足优选对象要求,对类似多目标主客观评价优选模型的建立具有一定借鉴意义。

生态输水条件下塔里木河下游断面尺度地下水流数值模拟

由于中国西北地区地表水资源有限,地下水则成为重要的备用水资源,而地表水和地下水转化过程及其耦合模拟是水资源开发利用和科学评价的基础,因此,为了准确反映塔里木河下游间歇性生态输水后地下水的动态变化,以塔里木河下游英苏断面为例,基于Boussinesq方程建立了改进的地下水动力学(GH-D2)模型,模拟了塔里木河下游绿色走廊典型断面地下水对全时段(2000-2015年)间歇性生态输水的响应过程。结果表明,尽管Boussinesq方程的GH解能较好地模拟地下水位的瞬态变化,但模拟地下水位多年变化的结果并不理想,而改进的GH-D2模型考虑了间歇性生态输水对地下水位变化的滞后效应,对长时间尺度地下水位变化的模拟具有较好的效果。与GH和GH-D1模型相比,GH-D2模型模拟的地下水位值更接近于观测值,这将对塔里木河下游实施科学合理的生态输水计划以及生态恢复和重建策略提供关键的技术支撑。     

正确认识和对待天气气候预报的不确定性

美国国家科学发展的指导机构同家研究顾问委员会(NRC)不久前发表了一份关于天气、气候和水文预报的不确定性的凋研报告.报告强调了预报不确定性信息在终端用户应用气象预报作决策中的重要性,同时指出一个预报如果没有定量地估计它的不确定性,那么该预报是不完全的.该报告中文版的出版工作正在进行中,现藉此机会向读者综合地介绍一下预报不确定性的问题.文中首先讨论了预报不确定性的缘由以及应该如何来科学地对待它.然后介绍了要应对这一问题所要进行的一些具体措施和策略.最后,简要地介绍了美国气象界为此所做的一些努力和计划以供参考.通过上述讨论和介绍,希望引起更多的人对预报不确定性问题的重视并科学应对以更好地服务社会.     

Effects of vertical wind shear on convective development during a landfall of severe tropical storm Bilis (2006)

Effects of vertical wind shear on convective development during the landfall of tropical storm Bilis (2006) are investigated with a pair of sensitivity experiments using a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model. The validated simulation data from Wang et al. [Wang, D., Li, X., Tao, W.-K., Liu, Y., Zhou, H., 2009: Torrential rainfall processes associated with a landfall of severe tropical storm Bilis (2006): A two-dimensional cloud-resolving modeling study. Atmos. Res., 91, 94–104.] are used as the control experiment. The difference between the control and sensitivity experiments is that vertically varying zonal winds in the control experiment are replaced by their mass-weighted means in the sensitivity experiment. The imposed vertical velocity with ascending motion in the upper troposphere and descending motion in the lower troposphere is responsible for dominant stratiform rainfall on 15 July. The vertical wind shear does not have important impacts on development of stratiform rainfall. One day later, imposed upward motion extends to the lower troposphere. The inclusion of negative vertical wind shear produces well-organized convection and strong convective rainfall because it causes kinetic energy transfer from large-scale forcing to perturbation circulations.     

1960~2013年京津冀地区干旱-暴雨-热浪灾害时空聚类特征

基于京津冀及周边34个气象站点逐日气温、相对湿度和降水数据,辅以Mann-Kendall趋势分析、SatScan时空重排扫描等数理统计方法,对1960~2013年京津冀地区干旱-暴雨-热浪灾害时空聚类特征进行分析。结果表明：① 1960~2013年京津冀地区干旱-暴雨-热浪变化具有阶段性,2000年之前干旱-热浪频次多为负距平,暴雨频次相对较多;2000年后干旱和热浪频次呈上升趋势,暴雨频次呈下降趋势;② 综合考虑多种致灾因子,京津冀地区高致灾因子区集中于东部沿海区和西部太行山地区,低致灾因子区分布于中部平原区;③ 1960~2013年京津冀地区干旱和热浪空间分布具有明显的重叠性,两者空间叠加区主要分布于5个区域：北部沿海区、北部燕山山区、西部太行山区、南部平原区。对于北京、天津、保定等中部平原区的城市而言,其为多灾种叠加的“平静区”,干旱-暴雨-热浪灾害时空群集事件相对较少。     

近53年内蒙古寒潮时空变化特征及其影响因素

利用内蒙古及其周边121个气象台站1960-2013年逐日最低气温数据,辅以分段线性回归模型、趋势分析及相关分析等方法,本文探讨了近53年内蒙古寒潮频次的时空变化特征及其影响因素。研究发现 (1) 近53年内蒙古单站寒潮频次总体呈下降趋势,降速为-0.5次/10a (-2.4~1.2次/10a),其中1991年之前降速为-1.1次/10a (-3.3~2.5次/10a),而1991年之后呈增加趋势,增速为0.45次/10a (-4.4~4.2次/10a);春季寒潮变化趋势与年变化趋势一致,且在各季节中变化最为显著;寒潮频次年内变化呈“双峰”结构特征,且以11月最多;(2) 空间上,内蒙古单站寒潮频次具有显著的空间差异特征,高发区集中在内蒙古的北部和中部地区,且北部高于中部。年代尺度对比来看,20世纪60-90年代寒潮高频区域范围在减少、低频区域范围在增加;而21世纪初期高频区域范围有所增加,增加区主要为内蒙古东部的图里河、小二沟,以及中部的西乌珠穆沁旗等地;(3) 就年尺度而言,寒潮主要受AO、NAO、CA、APVII和CQ控制,而各季节驱动因素有所差别,冬季寒潮与AO、NAO、SHI、CA、TPI、APVII、CW和IZ均达到显著相关关系,说明冬季寒潮受多种因素共同控制;秋季寒潮主要受CA和IM影响;而春季寒潮与CA和APVII关系显著。     

Torrential rainfall responses to radiative and microphysical processes of ice clouds during a landfall of severe tropical storm Bilis (2006)

Ice clouds are an important component in precipitation systems. The radiative processes of ice clouds directly impact radiation in heat budget and the microphysical processes of ice clouds directly affect latent heat and net condensation through deposition processes, which may eventually change surface rainfall. Thus, torrential rainfall responses to radiative and microphysical processes of ice clouds during a landfall of severe tropical storm Bilis (2006) are investigated with the analysis of sensitivity experiments. The two-dimensional cloud-resolving model is integrated for 3 days with imposed zonally uniform vertical velocity, zonal wind, horizontal temperature and vapor advection from NCEP/GDAS data. One sensitivity experiment excludes the radiative effects of ice clouds and the other sensitivity experiment excludes ice microphysics and associated radiative and microphysical processes. Model domain mean surface rain rate is barely changed by the exclusion of radiative effects of ice clouds due to the small decrease in net condensation associated with the small reduction in latent heat as a result of the offset between the increase in radiative cooling and the decrease in heat divergence. The exclusion of microphysical effects of ice clouds decreases the mean rain rate simply through the suppression of latent heat as a result of the removal of deposition processes. The total exclusion of ice microphysics decreases the mean rain rate mainly through the exclusion of microphysical effects of ice clouds.     

Information geography: The information revolution reshapes geography

The information revolution has been one of the driving forces to the innovation in geography. However, environmental remote sensing, geographic information science and technology, and geocomputing, which once resided within the family of geography, are gradually moving close to information science but are alienated from geography. Therefore, it is necessary to reexamine the interactive convergence of geography and information science, and advance the disciplinary system of geographic science to accommodate the researches with information as subjects and methods. In this paper, we propose to reformulate the relationship between geographic science and information science with a new discipline, i.e., information geography, which not only refers to the geography of information but also a methodological system for studying geography using information science.This paper summarizes the background of information geography’s emergence, its definition, and the difference and similarities with other disciplinary concepts. The impact of information geography on geographic paradigm shift is also investigated from the ontological, epistemological, and methodological perspectives.
