The interannual and interdecadal variations of moisture sinks over Guangdong are discussed with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and observed precipitation data from 1958 to 2004. The results indicate that climatically, the amount of precipitation is larger than that of evaporation in spring and summer.Precipitation and evaporation almost balance each other in autumn and the amount of evaporation is larger than that of precipitation in winter. The interannual signal dominates the variations of moisture sinks in all seasons in Guangdong with a period of three-year oscillation in autumn and winter. Remarkable interdecadal signal characterized by a period of three-decade oscillation can be identified for winter and spring from seasonally averaged moisture sink data and from annually moisture data, with variance percentage larger than 40%. This result indicates that Guangdong is at a transitional stage from positive anomalies to negative anomalies. The moisture sink anomalies in winter and following spring over Guangdong are usually in-phase. Besides, there exist periodic oscillations with periods of 10 to 15 years in summer and autumn. The positive (negative) anomalies of moisture sinks over Guangdong are due to the intensified (weakened) moisture from the tropical areas being transported to the Southern China, accompanied by an intensified (weakened) moisture convergence. 相似文献
本研究以南海东北部MD18-3569孔(22°09.30'N,119°49.24'E;水深1320m)上部10.09m的沉积物为研究材料,利用浮游有孔虫Globigerinoides ruber壳体的氧同位素(δ18Oc)、Mg/Ca比值计算了表层海水剩余氧同位素(δ18Oresidual),重建了过去两万年以来(19.88~0.78 ka B.P.,时间分辨率约152a)的表层海水盐度演变历史,结合南海其他站位降水重建记录,分析了研究区的水文气候变化特征。研究表明:1)南海南部和北部δ18Oresidual记录的长期趋势呈反相变化关系,即南海北部δ18Oresidual在末次冰消期逐渐偏负、全新世以来逐渐偏正,指示海表盐度先减小后增大,而南海南部δ18Oresidual则呈现先偏正、后偏负的变化特征。这种南、北反相变化关系表明末次冰消期过程中,随着北半球夏季辐射量逐渐增加,热带海洋上方的大气对流活动增强,包括南海南部在内的暖池区水汽蒸发及相关δ18O分馏增强,同时东亚夏季风增强、把更多蒸发水汽传输至东亚大陆,途中在南海北部产生更多δ18O偏轻的季风降水,导致研究区海表盐度降低、δ18Oresidual逐渐偏负。2)在千年尺度上,全新世东亚夏季风于1.4 ka B.P.、2.7 ka B.P.、4.4 ka B.P.、6.2 ka B.P.、7.2 ka B.P.和8.9 ka B.P.共出现6次降水减少事件,平均间隔约1500年,与中国东部石笋δ18O记录的全新世千年尺度事件一致,可能受太阳辐照度变化影响。因此,末次冰盛期以来,研究区的δ18Oresidual主要受夏季风降水影响。
