神农架大九湖泥炭地溶解有机碳季节性变化及其影响因素

亚热带泥炭地在水源涵养、碳储存和生物多样性等方面有着重要的保护价值.溶解有机碳(DOC)是泥炭地中容易受到外界扰动的一部分碳,在气候变化和人类活动的双重影响下,DOC可能通过降解或横向迁移从泥炭地中流失,潜在地威胁了泥炭地的碳储存功能.然而,目前对于亚热带泥炭地DOC如何响应季节性尺度的环境变化还缺乏深入的认识.以位于...

The effect of Stokes drift on Ekman transport in the open sea

By introducing the wave-induced Coriolis-Stokes forcing into ageostrophic motion equation,the Eulerian transport is modified by the wave-induced Stokes drift.The long-term mean contributions of the Stokes transport with remotely generated swells being included to the ageostrophic transport are analyzed using the ECMWF(European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) reanalysis data.The ratio of Stokes transport to Ekman transport in north-south(N-S) direction can reach a maximum of over 50% in the subtropical region.The preliminary influence of the Stokes transport on the North Pacific gyre is all year persistent,while the effect on the North Atlantic gyre is only obvious in boreal winter and early spring.     

走过嘎玛沟

嘎玛,是藏语中星星的意思。在西藏工作的很长时间里,关于嘎玛沟的传说一直徜徉在耳边。它位于珠穆朗玛峰东侧的群峰之下,雪山融水汇聚成的潢流顺喜马拉雅山脉流淌。时间过了上万年,流水在山谷中侵蚀出了今天的嘎玛沟。从白雪疆盖的高原雪线到葱绿的亚热带森林,50公里内有2600米的地理落差。     

An East Asian Subtropical Summer Monsoon Index and Its Relationship to Summer Rainfall in China

Using the monthly mean NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and the monthly rainfall observations at 160 rain gauge stations of China during 1961 1999, and based on major characteristics of the atmospheric circulation over East Asia and the western Pacific, a simple index for the East Asian subtropical summer monsoon （EASSM） is defined. The relationship between this index and summer rainfall in China and associated circulation features are examined. A comparison is made between this index and other monsoon indices. The results indicate that the index defined herein is reflective of variations of both the thermal low pressure centered in Siberia and the subtropical ridge over the western Pacific. It epitomizes the intensity of the EASSM and the variability of summer rainfall along the Yangtze River. Analysis shows that the Siberian low has a greater effect on the rainfall than the subtropical ridge, suggesting that the summer rainfall variability over the eastern parts of China is to a large extent affected by anomalies of the atmospheric circulation and cold air development in the midlatitudes. Taking into account of the effects of both the Siberian low and the subtropical ridge can better capture the summer rainfall anomalies of China. The index exhibits interannual and decadal variabilities, with high-index values occurring mainly in the 1960s and 1970s and low-index values in the 1980s and 1990s. When the EASSM index is low, the Siberian low and the subtropical ridge are weaker, and northerly wind anomalies appear at low levels over the midlatitudes and subtropics of East Asia, whereas southwesterly wind anomalies dominate in the upper troposphere over the tropics and subtropics of Asia and the western Pacific. The northerly wind anomalies bring about frequent cold air disturbances from the midlatitudes of East Asia, strengthening the convergence and ascending motions along the Meiyu front, and result in an increase of summer rainfall over the Yangtze River.     

亚热带和热带环境下夜光藻的摄食压力

2015年以广西三娘湾海域为亚热带海区,三亚海域为热带海区,利用稀释法开展了现场培养实验,测定热带和亚热带海区夜光藻对浮游植物、微型浮游动物对浮游植物的摄食压力,研究了夜光藻对不同粒径的浮游生物的摄食作用.结果表明:两个海区都有比较高的生长率和摄食率,其中细菌有最高的生长率和摄食死亡率;夜光藻的摄食率,从总浮游植物、微微型浮游植物到聚球藻、细菌逐渐增高.亚热带海区与热带海区相比,微型浮游动物的摄食压力更小,表明低温影响了浮游动物的摄食活性;而营养盐是引起亚热带海区高生长率的主要因素.     

南海北部表层水温变化的幅度和时期:与东亚季风的动态联系

热带和亚热带季风区经历着地球上最大的年内风向逆转,随之而来的是迁移区内的强烈降雨。季风体系从温暖的赤道海洋向高纬度的内陆输送热量和水汽（如Emile-Geay等,2003）。在过去的150ka年间,季风和降雨变化显著,日照量和北半球冰盖面积也随之逐渐变化。这些变化影响了热带太平洋西部边缘盆地的淡水平衡（如Wang等,1999;Oppo等,2003;Rosenthal等,2003）,但是该时期季风对热带太平洋西部边缘盆地海水表层温度（SST）的影响仍然不为人所熟知。我们在此提供南海（西部热带太平洋的一个边缘海）北部过去145ka以来SST变化的第一手资料。     

关于中国的亚热带

本文阐述了中国亚热带的6个基本特点,亚热带北界和南界的划分问题,生态过渡带和亚热带划分的方法论,综合区划研究的必要性与重要性,以及尚需深入研究的若干重要自然地理界线问题.认为中国的亚热带从广义上说也是一个生态过渡带.深入研究中国亚热带形成的机制及其成因和演变趋势,将有利于整个亚热带的区域可持续发展.目前亚热带划分所用的指标比较初始、简略,亚热带的东部与西部所采用的指标也不完全一致,还需要经过艰苦的探索,提出一个既能反映客观实际,又能与国际研究接轨的较好方案.在亚热带的划分中需要加强新技术和新方法的应用.
