Uncertainties of the relationship between the equatorial quasi-biennial oscillation, the Arctic stratosphere and solar forcing

Two different equatorial quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) indices, two reanalyses and radiosonde observations are used to analyze the Arctic stratospheric temperature and height. This analysis was used to assess the uncertainties in the connection of solar forcing, QBO and the Arctic variability. The results show that (1) the frequency of the westerly/easterly phases of the QBO over the stratospheric equator has a significant multiple peak seasonal variation. The primary seasonal peaks occur in February, March and April for the westerly phase of the QBO and the easterly phase peaks in June, July and August. (2) The correlation of stratospheric Arctic temperature and height with the solar radio flux shows statistical significance in February or July/August even if there is no stratified phase of QBO (easterly and westerly phases) involved. However, when the correlation was computed according to the stratified phase of QBO, the solar signals in both temperature and height fields are remarkably amplified in February and November under the westerly phase, but the signal in the height field is most significant only in August under the easterly phase. (3) The impact of the QBO and solar forcing on the stratospheric temperature and heights in the Arctic varies depending on the season. The impacts are also sensitive to the specific height of the QBO-defined level that is used, the specific period of the analysis and the dataset used.

Dark induced reproductive inhibition of Daphnia carinata during the 1995 solar eclipse

Population of Daphnia carinata exposed to different times on the day showed sharp inhibition of reproduction (measured different life table data) on the day of solar eclipse as compared to pre- and post-eclipse days. Sudden fall of water temperature and abrupt change to darkness as prevailed during the solar eclipse were responsible for inhibition of reproduction in Daphnia carinata. Cold and dark induced reproductive inhibition was also confirmed in a simulated experiment mimicing eclipse reduction in light and temperature.

Ecosystem water use efficiency in an irrigated cropland in the North China Plain

The eddy covariance technique and the cuvette method were used to investigate water use efficiency in an irrigated winter wheat (Triticum asetivum L.)/summer maize (Zea mays L.) rotation system in the North China Plain. The results show that ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE_e) changed diurnally and seasonally. Daily maximal WUE_e appeared in the morning. WUE_e generally peaked in late April in wheat field and in late July/early August in maize field. From 2003 to 2006, seasonal mean WUE_e was 6.7–7.4 mg CO₂ g⁻¹ H₂O for wheat and 8.4–12.1 mg CO₂ g⁻¹ H₂O for maize. WUE_e was much lower than canopy water use efficiency (WUE_c) under small leaf area index (LAI) but very close to WUE_c under large LAI. With the increase in LAI, WUE_e enlarged rapidly under low LAI but slowly when LAI was higher than one. WUE_e was greater on the cloudy days than on the sunny days. Under the same solar radiation, WUE_e was higher in the morning than in the afternoon. The ratio of internal to ambient CO₂ partial pressure (C_i/C_a) decreased significantly with the increase in photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) when PAR was lower than the critical values (around 500 and 1000 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ for wheat and maize, respectively). Beyond critical PAR, C_i/C_a was approximately constant at 0.69 for wheat and 0.42 for maize. Therefore, when LAI and solar radiation was large enough, WUE_e has negative correlation with vapor pressure deficit in both of irrigated wheat and maize fields.     

Observations of Antarctic precipitable water vapor and its response to the solar activity based on GPS sensing

Predicting global climate change is a great challenge and must be based on a thorough understanding of how the climate system components behave. Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is one of the key components in determining and predicting the global climate system. It is well known that the local surface temperature and pressure have a direct influence on the production of PWV. However, the influence of solar activity on atmospheric dynamics and their physical mechanisms is still an open debate, where past studies are focused at mid-latitude regions. A new method of determining and quantifying the solar influence on PWV based on GPS observations to correlate the GPS PWV and total electron content (TEC) variations is proposed. Observed data from Scott Base (SBA) and McMurdo (MCM) stations from 2003 to 2005 have been used to study the response of PWV to solar activity. In the analysis, the effects of local conditions (wind speed and relative humidity) on the distribution of PWV are investigated. Results show significant correlation between PWV and solar activity for four geomagnetic storms, with correlation coefficients of 0.74, 0.77, 0.64 and 0.69, which are all significant at the 95% confidence level. There was no significant correlation between TEC and PWV changes during the absence of storms. On a monthly analysis, a strong relationship exists between PWV and TEC during storm-affected days, with correlation coefficients of 0.83 and 0.89 (99% confidence level) for SBA and MCM respectively. These indicate a statistically significant seasonal signal in the Antarctic region, which is very active (higher) during the summer and inactive (lower) for the winter periods.     

国产遥感传感器大气层外波段平均太阳光谱辐照度计算

目前,我国大部分遥感传感器的大气层外波段平均太阳光谱辐照度(Mean solar exoatmospheric irradiances over band b,简称ESUN_b)尚未公布,这给遥感图像表观反射率的计算带来了不便,在一定程度上影响了数据资料的应用和推广。本文基于已有官方ESUN_b值的EO1/ALI、Terra/ASTER、QuickBird等多种中、高空间分辨率传感器,对9条常见的太阳光谱曲线进行比较分析。结果表明,WRC太阳光谱曲线最合适计算中分辨率传感器的ESUN_b,而Wehrli太阳光谱曲线最合适计算高分辨率传感器的ESUN_b。基于WRC太阳光谱曲线和Wehrli太阳光谱曲线计算,得到了ZY-1 02C/PMS相机、ZY-3/TLC相机和MUX相机,以及GF-1/WFV相机和PMS相机各波段ESUN_b值,并对ESUN_b值的不确定性进行了分析。结果显示,太阳光谱选取的不同,对ESUN_b的取值会产生-1.94%至1.48%的偏差。本文使用多种卫星传感器交叉比较的方式确定了最佳的太阳光谱,给出了ZY-1 02C、ZY-3和GF-1等卫星搭载的遥感传感器各波段的ESUN_b值,为这些国产卫星遥感数据的广泛应用提供便利。此外,本文所用方法简便易行,在其他新的遥感传感器上具有推广应用价值。
