Climate changes in the Lhasa River basin,Tibetan Plateau: irrigation-induced cooling along with a warming trend

Characterizing the response of temperature variables to agricultural irrigation is expected to be an important challenge for understanding the full impact of water management on regional climate change. In this paper, the trend analysis and abrupt change test were applied to detect the global warming effect. Then, the quantitative irrigation-induced cooling effects on temperature variables between April and August from 1970 to 2010 in the Lhasa River basin were estimated using historical time series of gridded meteorological records and a map of the area equipped for irrigation. Trends in the maximum temperature (Tmax) were statistically positive, and a significant increasing trend for the minimum temperature (Tmin) was detected at the 0.01 and 0.05 confidence levels. No abrupt changing point of warming was detected in the time series for Tmax. The abrupt changes in Tmin in the irrigation concentration period took place in 1995, 5 years later than the corresponding change in April. Affected by global warming, the increase in temperature was the largest in July and August, when the irrigation-induced cooling effect was also the most significant. The irrigation-induced cooling effect for Tmax and Tmin in April–August (except for June) ranged from − 0.017 to − 0.009 °C/decade and from − 0.011 to − 0.001 °C/decade, respectively, and the cooling effect for diurnal temperature range (DTR) ranged from − 0.011 to 0 °C/decade. The cooling effect on temperature reached above 0.01 °C in July and August, but for the growing seasons, the effect was weak, only 0.001 °C. The Tmax and Tmin trends during the whole growing seasons decreased by both 0.002 °C/decade, respectively, with a 10% increase in irrigation land proportion. Even in July and August, the trends were expected to decrease by about 0.005 °C/decade with a 10% increase in irrigation land proportion. The irrigation-induced cooling effect could partially slow global warming.     

Characteristics of Fengyun-4A Satellite Atmospheric Motion Vectors and Their Impacts on Data Assimilation

The high observation efficiency, scanning speed and observation frequency of the Fengyun-4A (FY-4A) satellite indicates the progress of Chinese geostationary meteorological satellites. The characteristics of FY-4A atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) derived from the high-level water vapor (WV-High) channel, mid-level water vapor (WV-Mid) channel, and infrared (IR) channel of FY-4A are analyzed, and their corresponding observation errors estimated. Then, the impacts of single-channel and multi-channel FY-4A AMVs on RMAPS-ST (the Rapid-refresh Multi-scale Analysis and Prediction System—Short Term) are evaluated based on one-month data assimilation cycling and forecasting experiments. Results show that the observation errors of FY-4A AMVs from the three channels have an explicit vertical structure. Results from the cycling experiments indicate that the assimilation of AMVs from WV-High produces more apparent improvement of the wind in the upper layer, while a more positive effect in the lower layer is achieved by the assimilation of AMVs from IR. Furthermore, the assimilation of AMVs from IR is more skillful for medium and moderate precipitation than from other channels owing to the good quality of data in the lower layer in the AMVs from IR. Assimilation of FY-4A AMVs from the three channels could combine the advantages of assimilation from each individual channel to improve the wind in the upper, middle and lower layers simultaneously.     

GRAPES_3 km数值模式对流风暴预报能力的多方法综合评估

利用传统点对点TS评分、邻域法以及对象检验等多种方法,综合评估了GRAPES_3 km模式的对流风暴预报性能,分析了传统检验方法和新型空间检验方法对高分辨率模式评估的适用性和差异性,并同GRAPES_Meso模式的相关结果进行了对比。结果表明:对强对流典型个例的预报评估发现,综合应用多种评估方法能够更全面地评估对流风暴预报,获取模式在对流风暴初生和发展变化过程中的预报性能。使用点对点评分方法,GRAPES_3 km模式对风暴和强风暴的预报都明显优于GRAPES_Meso模式。对于模式不同起报时间的预报,起报时间越新预报效果越好。邻域TS方法考虑了时空偏差,GRAPES_3 km模式20和35 dBz采用时间邻域1 h,空间点对点时预报技巧最高;50 dBz时空偏差较大,时间邻域尺度为3 h技巧最高。分数技巧评分(FSS)显示GRAPES_3 km模式对不同阈值的对流风暴预报均能达到最低技巧尺度,而GRAPES_Meso模式对35 dBz以上的对流风暴基本无预报能力。对象检验可以评估对流风暴特征的预报效果,GRAPES_3 km模式的对流风暴个数预报与实况较为一致,但面积预报明显低估。该模式对β中尺度的对流风暴形态、位置等预报较好,对γ中尺度的对流风暴预报尺度偏大、形状偏圆、轴角偏小,对α中尺度的对流风暴预报尺度偏小、形状偏扁、轴角偏大。GRAPES_Meso模式的对流风暴面积、个数、尺度预报较实况均偏小,位置预报偏差较大,形状预报较实况偏圆、轴角偏小。传统点对点TS评分方法和新型空间检验方法对高分辨率模式对流风暴预报的检验结论一致,依然具有一定的参考价值,但新型空间检验方法能够提供更详细的评估信息。     

2018年7月15—17日北京极端强降水过程三类对流风暴及其强降水特征分析

2018年7月15—17日,北京遭遇当年入汛以来最强降水过程。该过程具有持续时间长、累计雨量大、局地雨强强等特点。针对小时降水量阶段性减弱的特征,对该过程不同阶段三类对流风暴及其强降水特点进行了对比分析。结果表明： 16日凌晨副热带高压边缘暖区强降水主要由低质心型对流风暴造成,该时段暖湿层结深厚,垂直风切变较弱;对流系统具有类似热带强降水型风暴特征,加之“列车效应”影响,导致北京密云出现极端强降水;高质心型对流风暴出现在16日至17日凌晨,受高空槽和副热带高压共同影响,中层有干空气侵入,整层垂直风切变较强;对流系统存在悬垂结构特征,但局地性强、移速快,其造成的最大降水量要弱于低质心型对流风暴;混合型对流风暴对应17日高空槽过境的强降水,该时段能量和水汽条件较前期明显减弱;对流风暴的强度和降水量级在三类风暴中最弱。不同类型对流风暴对应的环境条件、结构特征及其移动传播特点决定了该过程不同阶段的降水强度和量级。

利用山东88个气象站1961—2019年夏季6—8月逐日最高、最低气温观测数据,分析了山东各地极端热昼、极端热夜、极端高温日三个极端热事件的时空演变规律和突变特征。结果表明：1）山东夜间出现极端热事件及白天和夜间同时出现极端热事件的天数增多、强度增强、占比增加。历年极端热昼出现天数和占比均呈不同程度的减少趋势,平均强度呈减小趋势,其中占比减少最明显;极端热夜、极端高温日出现天数和占比均呈不同程度的增加趋势,平均强度呈增强趋势。2）山东内陆和沿海地区各极端热事件变化差异明显。内陆地区极端热昼各指标减少、减小趋势更显著,大部分地区变化趋势通过了0.05的显著性水平检验,半岛南部和东部部分区域则有增加、增强趋势;中西部地区极端热夜各指标增加、增强趋势更显著,大部分地区变化趋势通过了0.05的显著性水平检验;中东部区域尤其是半岛地区极端高温日各指标增加、增强趋势更显著,大部分地区变化趋势通过了0.05的显著性水平检验。3）各极端热事件不同指标的突变情况迥异。极端热昼历年出现天数没有发生突变,平均强度在1970年前后发生突变,突变发生后,平均强度明显减小;极端热夜出现天数和平均强度均在1994年前后发生突变,突变发生后,出现天数明显增加、平均强度明显增强;极端高温日出现天数和强度分别在1994年、1973年前后发生突变,突变发生后,出现天数明显增加。     

Observational Zonal Mean Flow Anomalies: Vacillation or Poleward Propagation?

North-south displacements and meridional vacillations of the eddy-driven jet are widely accepted as the dominant cause of variability of the observational zonal-mean zonal wind anomalies(denoted [u]’).In this study,a new idea regarding the primary variability of the observational [u]’ in the middle latitude troposphere is presented.It is hypothesized that there are two different classes of primary variability of the observational [u]’:the poleward propagation of the [u]’(abbreviated as PP) and meridional vacillations.To validate this hypothesis,one-point correlation maps of [u]’ at 200-hPa during the boreal cold season(November-April) of every year from 1957-2002 are used as a criterion.Twelve PP years,in which the PP events are dominant in the variability of [u]’,and 15 no_PP years,in which the PP events are recessive and the meridional vacillations are dominant in the variability of [u]’,are examined.The results show that the variabilities of [u]’ are different in the chosen PP and no_PP years.In the PP years,the PP events dominate the variability of [u]’;however,the meridional vacillations are prevalent in the no_PP years.     

气候变化对澜湄流域上下游水资源合作潜力的影响

澜沧江-湄公河（澜湄）流域南北跨越了25个纬度,流域上下游气候差异明显。同时遭遇干旱或湿润通常不利于上下游水资源合作,而水文气象条件正常或上下游间的干湿条件不一样时有利于缓解流域内的竞争性用水状况。为探究气候变化对澜湄流域上下游水资源合作潜力的影响,基于普林斯顿降水数据集与全球气候模型预估数据,利用标准化降水指数（SPI）和Copula函数计算了历史时期（1985—2016年）与未来时期（2021—2090年）澜湄流域上下游同时面临干旱、湿润以及干湿存在差异的发生概率。基于典型浓度路径RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景的预估结果显示与历史时期相比,未来时期澜湄流域在RCP4.5与RCP8.5情景下具有相似的变化趋势,即：遭遇同期湿润的概率在逐渐增大（最大达到199.5%),遭遇同期干旱的概率则在逐渐减少(最小达到-35.9%),而遭遇干湿差异时期的概率在所有时段均大幅减少（-53.1%~-42.5%)。未来澜湄流域上下游同期湿润概率的增加和遭遇干湿差异概率的减少预计将加大上下游面临水资源竞争的可能性,从而对澜湄流域各国家之间的水资源合作产生不利影响。这一研究可以为澜湄流域水资源合作策略的制定提供科学参考和依据。
