多年冻土区斜坡稳定性研究综述

全球变暖、极端天气频发,引发的地质灾害对自然生态环境和人类生产生活造成了很大的影响。尤其对气候变化较为敏感的高温（年平均地温>-1 °C）和高含冰量多年冻土区,气候变暖以及人类活动导致的冻融地质灾害日益频繁。冻土退化条件下,土体结构和物理力学性质发生改变,黏聚力和抗剪强度降低,造成多年冻土区斜坡发生滑坡、崩塌、泥流等灾害。斜坡失稳加剧了多年冻土区脆弱生态环境的恶化,同时对建（构）筑物安全运营产生威胁。与非冻土区相比,多年冻土区斜坡稳定性研究主要针对高含冰量斜坡段,斜坡失稳模式主要以热融滑塌和活动层滑脱为主。热融滑塌由斜坡段地下冰暴露融化引起,而活动层滑脱产生的原因是冻土融化导致土体孔隙水压力过大,形成的超孔隙水压力降低了土体强度,造成斜坡失稳。此外,多年冻土区斜坡失稳模式还包括融冻泥流、崩塌以及蠕变滑坡等。通过综述近期多年冻土区斜坡稳定性研究进展,概括了多年冻土区斜坡失稳的模式、特征、影响因素、失稳机理、分析方法及防治措施等,并对未来多年冻土区斜坡失稳的研究重点提出建议。

Verification and Improvement of the Ability of CFSv2 to Predict the Antarctic Oscillation in Boreal Spring

The boreal spring Antarctic Oscillation(AAO) has a significant impact on the spring and summer climate in China. This study evaluates the capability of the NCEP's Climate Forecast System, version 2(CFSv2), in predicting the boreal spring AAO for the period 1983–2015. The results indicate that CFSv2 has poor skill in predicting the spring AAO, failing to predict the zonally symmetric spatial pattern of the AAO, with an insignificant correlation of 0.02 between the predicted and observed AAO Index(AAOI). Considering the interannual increment approach can amplify the prediction signals, we firstly establish a dynamical–statistical model to improve the interannual increment of the AAOI(DY AAOI), with two predictors of CFSv2-forecasted concurrent spring sea surface temperatures and observed preceding autumn sea ice. This dynamical–statistical model demonstrates good capability in predicting DY AAOI, with a significant correlation coefficient of 0.58 between the observation and prediction during 1983–2015 in the two-year-out cross-validation. Then, we obtain an improved AAOI by adding the improved DY AAOI to the preceding observed AAOI. The improved AAOI shows a significant correlation coefficient of 0.45 with the observed AAOI during 1983–2015. Moreover, the unrealistic atmospheric response to March–April–May sea ice in CFSv2 may be the possible cause for the failure of CFSv2 to predict the AAO. This study gives new clues regarding AAO prediction and short-term climate prediction.     

Evaluation of the Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System for Predicting Sea Fog over the South China Sea

In the South China Sea, sea fog brings severe disasters every year, but forecasters have yet to implement an effective seafog forecast. To address this issue, we test a liquid-water-content-only(LWC-only) operational sea-fog prediction method based on a regional mesoscale numerical model with a horizontal resolution of about 3 km, the Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System(GRAPES), hereafter GRAPES-3 km. GRAPES-3 km models the LWC over the sea, from which we infer the visibility that is then used to identify fog. We test the GRAPES-3 km here against measurements in 2016 and 2017 from coastal-station observations, as well as from buoy data, data from the Integrated Observation Platform for Marine Meteorology, and retrieved fog and cloud patterns from Himawari-8 satellite data. For two cases that we examine in detail, the forecast region of sea fog overlaps well with the multi-observational data within 72 h. Considering forecasting for0–24 h, GRAPES-3 km has a 2-year-average equitable threat score(ETS) of 0.20 and a Heidke skill score(HSS) of 0.335,which is about 5.6%(ETS) and 6.4%(HSS) better than our previous method(GRAPES-MOS). Moreover, the stations near the particularly foggy region around the Leizhou Peninsula have relatively high forecast scores compared to other sea areas.Overall, the results show that GRAPES-3 km can roughly predict the formation, evolution, and dissipation of sea fog on the southern China coast.     

Distribution and pollution assessment of trace metals in seawater and sediment in Laizhou Bay

Selected trace metals(Pb, Cd, Cu, Hg) and arsenic in seawater and surface sediments of Laizhou Bay were determined, to evaluate their spatial distribution, pollution risk and potential ecological risk. Concentrations of the elements were 0.56–2.07, 0.14–0.38, 12.70–18.40, 0.014–0.094, and 1.13–2.37 μg/L in the seawater and 8.94–32.2, 0.18–0.67, 4.51–30.5, 0.006–0.058, and 5.75–15.3 mg/kg in sediments for Pb, Cd, Cu, Hg and As, respectively. High concentrations of the trace metals and arsenic in seawater and surface sediments were generally observed near the river estuary. The pollution risk result of the elements showed that Cu was the prominent trace metal pollutant in seawater, followed by Hg, Pb, Cd and As. The metal complex pollution index in seawater was at a medium level. The most important trace metal pollutant in sediments was Cd, followed by As, Cu, Pb, and Hg. Our pollution assessment suggests that trace metal pollution in Laizhou Bay sediments was at a low level. The potential ecological risk was also low in surface sediment.

A New Prediction Model for Tropical Storm Frequency over the Western North Pacific Using Observed Winter-Spring Precipitation and Geopotential Height at 500 hPa

A new seasonal prediction model for annual tropical storm numbers(ATSNs)over the western North Pacific was developed using the preceding January-February(JF)and April-May(AM)grid-point data at a resolution of 2.5°×2.5°.The JF and AM mean precipitation and the AM mean 500-hPa geopotential height in the Northern Hemisphere,together with the JF mean 500-hPa geopotential height in the Southern Hemisphere,were employed to compose the ATSN forecast model via the stepwise multiple linear regression technique.All JF and AM mean data were confined to the Eastern Hemisphere.We established two empirical prediction models for ATSN using the ERA40 reanalysis and NCEP reanalysis datasets,respectively,together with the observed precipitation.The performance of the models was verified by cross-validation.Anomaly correlation coefficients(ACC)at 0.78 and 0.74 were obtained via comparison of the retrospective predictions of the two models and the observed ATSNs from 1979 to 2002.The multi-year mean absolute prediction errors were 3.0 and 3.2 for the two models respectively,or roughly 10% of the average ATSN.In practice,the final prediction was made by averaging the ATSN predictions of the two models.This resulted in a higher score,with ACC being further increased to 0.88,and the mean absolute error reduced to 1.92,or 6.13% of the average ATSN.     

The Recent Interdecadal and Interannual Variation of Water Vapor Transport over Eastern China

The climatological characteristics and interdecadal variability of the water vapor transport and budget over the Yellow River-Huaihe River valleys (YH1) and the Yangtze River-Huaihe River valleys (YH2) of East China were investigated in this study,using the NCEP/NCAR monthly mean reanalysis datasets from 1979 to 2009.Changes in the water vapor transport pattern occurred during the late 1990s over YH1 (YH2) that corresponded with the recent interdecadal changes in the eastern China summer precipitation pattern.The net moisture influx in the YH1 increased and the net moisture influx in the YH2 decreased during 2000-2009 in comparison to 1979-1999.Detailed features in the moisture flux and transport changes across the four boundaries were explored.The altered water vapor transport over the two domains can be principally attributed to the additive effects of the changes in the confluent southwesterly moisture flow by the Indian summer monsoon and East Asian summer monsoon (related with the eastward recession of the western Pacific subtropical high).The altered water vapor transport over YH1 was also partly caused by the weakened midlatitude westerlies.
