Copula-based risk evaluation of droughts across the Pearl River basin, China

Daily precipitation data for the period of 1960–2005 from 42 precipitation gauging stations in the Pearl River basin were analyzed using the Mann–Kendall trend test and copula functions. The standardized precipitation index method was used to define drought episodes. Primary and secondary return periods were also analyzed to evaluate drought risks in the Pearl River basin as a whole. Results indicated that: (1) in general, the drought tendency was not significant at a 95 % confidence level. However, significant drought trends could be found in November, December, and January and significant wetting trends in June and July. The drought severity and drought durations were not significant at most of the precipitation stations across the Pearl River basin; (2) in terms of drought risk, higher drought risk could be observed in the lower Pearl River basin and lower drought risk in the upper Pearl River basin. Higher risk of droughts of longer durations was always corresponding to the higher risk of droughts with higher drought severity, which poses an increasing challenge for drought management and water resources management. When drought episodes with higher drought severity occurred in the Pearl River basin, the regions covered by higher risk of drought events were larger, which may challenge the water supply in the lower Pearl River basin. As for secondary return periods, results of this study indicated that secondary return periods might provide a more robust evaluation of drought risk. This study should be of merit for water resources management in the Pearl River basin, particularly the lower Pearl River basin, and can also act as a case study for determining regional response to drought changes as a result of global climate changes.     

Changes in Water Use Efficiency Caused by Climate Change,CO2 Fertilization,and Land Use Changes on the Tibetan Plateau

Terrestrial ecosystem water use efficiency(WUE) is an important indicator for coupling plant photosynthesis and transpiration, and is also a key factor linking the carbon and water cycles between the land and atmosphere. However,under the combination of climate change and human intervention, the change in WUE is still unclear, especially on the Tibetan Plateau(TP). Therefore, satellite remote sensing data and process-based terrestrial biosphere models(TBMs) are used in this study to investigate ...     

中国大陆卫星反演云参数的评估

该文选取１９８３年７月和１９８４年１月份代表夏季和冬季，利用中国地面气象月报的云量资料以及多年平均的地面观测云气修资料，与中国大陆地区ＩＳＣＣＰ卫星反演的去量和云状资料进行了对比分析。参照大气环流和云天气气候特征，从卫星得到的从云状是比较合理的，但干旱沙漠地区的高云量的估计不足，低云估计偏多。     

气溶胶对我国中东部地区秋季降水的影响

通过分析近50年来中国中东部地区降水资料发现,秋季降水与其他季节相比有明显减少趋势(每10年下降约54.3 mm),尤其自1980年代以来呈直线下降趋势(每10年降水减少5.6%)。从降水形成三个基本条件(水汽输送条件、稳定度条件、云微物理条件)出发,探究秋季降水减小的原因。结果表明,大气稳定度(对流抑制能(convective inhibition,CIN)以28.67(J/kg)/(10年)的速率增加,对流有效位能(convective available potential energy,CAPE)以12.81(J/kg)/(10年)的速率减小以及云微物理性质的变化(云滴有效粒子尺度减小)是导致秋季降水减少的直接原因,而这两个因素的变化与近20多年来气溶胶的大量增多有着非常密切的关系。因此,由空气污染造成的气溶胶浓度的增加可以作为导致中国中东部地区秋季降水减少的其中一个重要原因。由于秋季天气系统较稳定,主要受到大尺度系统影响,动力作用影响大于热力作用,所以减少了复杂中小天气系统和热力作用对降水的影响,故而更加突显出气溶胶对秋季降水的影响。     

湖州市用电需求特性及其与气象条件的关系

通过计算日用电量气象变化率lml、日最大用电负荷气象变化率lmh,分析了湖州市2006—2008年用电量及最大用电负荷的变化特征及其与气象要素的关系,着重研究了平均气温、最高气温、最低气温对用电量及最大用电负荷的影响,建立了日最大用电负荷、日用电量的预测模型。结果表明：用电量及最大用电负荷表现出年周期变化,且稳步递增,但月差异明显;不同月份不同气象因子对用电量及最大用电负荷的影响各有不同,lmh、lml与气象因子相关性显著的月份集中在6—10月;在不同温度范围,气温对用电量及最大用电负荷的影响程度也不同,随着气温变化,用电量和最大用电负荷的变化率最大可达20%;在7月、8月,气温升高1℃时,lmh、lml的变化最大,可达2%～5%。     

CoLM模式对青藏高原中部BJ站陆面过程的数值模拟

利用公共陆面模式Common Land Model(CoLM)及"全球协调加强观测计划之亚澳季风青藏高原试验"(CAMP/Tibet)中那曲地区Bujiao(BJ)站2002—2004年的观测资料对该地区进行了单点数值模拟试验。通过比较模拟与观测的地表能量通量,表明CoLM较成功地模拟了该地区的能量分配。模式对向上的短波辐射、向上的长波辐射、净辐射及土壤热通量模拟得较好,但冬季存在偏差。进一步比较了模拟和观测的土壤温度及土壤湿度,发现浅层60 cm土壤温度模拟较好,深层存在偏差,表现为土壤温度变化滞后于实际变化。土壤湿度总体偏小,尤其是冬季冻结期,土壤冻融过程中忽略了土壤液态水在温度0℃以下仍能存在,含冰量模拟偏高。     

Influence of leaf water potential on diurnal changes in CO2 and water vapour fluxes

Mass and energy fluxes between the atmosphere and vegetation are driven by meteorological variables, and controlled by plant water status, which may change more markedly diurnally than soil water. We tested the hypothesis that integration of dynamic changes in leaf water potential may improve the simulation of CO₂ and water fluxes over a wheat canopy. Simulation of leaf water potential was integrated into a comprehensive model (the ChinaAgrosys) of heat, water and CO₂ fluxes and crop growth. Photosynthesis from individual leaves was integrated to the canopy by taking into consideration the attenuation of radiation when penetrating the canopy. Transpiration was calculated with the Shuttleworth-Wallace model in which canopy resistance was taken as a link between energy balance and physiological regulation. A revised version of the Ball-Woodrow-Berry stomatal model was applied to produce a new canopy resistance model, which was validated against measured CO₂ and water vapour fluxes over winter wheat fields in Yucheng (36°57′ N, 116°36′ E, 28 m above sea level) in the North China Plain during 1997, 2001 and 2004. Leaf water potential played an important role in causing stomatal conductance to fall at midday, which caused diurnal changes in photosynthesis and transpiration. Changes in soil water potential were less important. Inclusion of the dynamics of leaf water potential can improve the precision of the simulation of CO₂ and water vapour fluxes, especially in the afternoon under water stress conditions.     

石河子绿洲空气湿度和降水的长期变化趋势分析

分析了石河子绿洲3个地面站(炮台、石河子和莫索湾)41a(1964～2004年)的温度、相对湿度和降水,发现随着石河子垦区绿洲面积的扩大以及新疆增温增湿的气候变化趋势,石河子绿洲也有其比较独特的区域气候特征。主要表现在:(1)41a来温度、降水量呈增加趋势,但空气湿度比较稳定,没有明显的变化;(2)石河子绿洲的温度、降水量以及空气湿度具有明显的季节变化特征。秋季的温度变幅最大,冬季最小。这与新疆大部分地区冬季增温幅度最大有所不同。空气相对湿度变化的季节差异不明显。(3)以莫索湾站代表绿洲边缘,石河子站代表绿洲区,其降水、温度和空气湿度变化有明显差异,显示了比较明显的绿洲“冷岛”和“湿岛”效应。
