江淮流域梅雨期持续性强降水及其10～30d低频环流特征

利用1961—2010年中国556站的逐日降水资料和NCEP/NCAR逐日再分析资料,采用合成分析等方法探讨了江淮流域梅雨期持续性强降水的低频振荡特征及其发生前后低频大气环流场的演变特征。结果表明,江淮梅雨持续性强降水存在显著的10~30 d低频振荡特征。持续性强降水发生时,江淮流域对流层高层受东海低频反气旋西北部的偏西气流控制,使得南亚高压位置偏东,加强了高层的辐散型流场;对流层中层,中高纬度地区存在"+、-、+"的低频位势高度中心,蒙古低频低压使得极地冷空气易于南侵;对流层低层,江淮流域受低频P-J波列西段的台湾岛低频反气旋影响,并伴随强烈的对流活动,此反气旋使得西太平洋副热带高压向更西的位置伸展;因此低层辐合、高层辐散使得江淮流域表现为强烈的低频上升运动,同时低频水汽从孟加拉湾-南海一带输送到江淮流域,为持续性强降水的发生提供了有利的低频环流条件。另外,在持续性强降水发生前后,低层低频正涡度向北、向西传播,高层低频负涡度向南、向东传播,高低层斜压结构明显,共同作用于江淮流域,维持持续性强降水过程。     

雷达资料在云南一次强降水过程中的三维变分同化试验

鉴于云南观测信息相对不足、局地强降水突出的现状,利用WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting)模式及其变分同化系统进行雷达反射率因子和反演风场的三维变分同化试验。通过对2012年9月12日00:00—13日00:00发生在云南的一次强降水过程进行数值模拟和对比分析,结果表明,同时同化雷达反演风场和基本反射率因子,对区域模式同化系统中风矢量、相对湿度、位势高度几个基本分析量都有明显影响。雷达资料的同化,有利于区域模式初始场中强降水区域的上游中低层空气湿度增加、水汽输送增强和强降水发生区域的风场辐合加强,从而改善区域模式对强降水落区、强度的预报质量。对于切变线等天气尺度系统影响下的强降水过程,雷达资料的同化持续时间选取3 h、同化间隔为1 h较适宜。另外,雷达反演风场和基本反射率因子的同化均对降水预报改善有明显贡献,且多种资料的同化效果好于单一资料同化。     

Differential absorption measurements of mesospheric and lower thermospheric electron densities using the Buckland Park MF radar

The differential absorption experiment (DAE) was first proposed in the 1950s for the estimation of mesospheric and lower thermospheric electron density using MF/HF radars. The technique was used extensively until the late 1970s, when interest in the technique declined, due to experimental limitations and questions regarding the assumptions of the technique. This paper describes the application of the DAE within the online observations of the Buckland Park MF (BPMF) radar. The experimental limitations of the technique for the BPMF radar are discussed, with particular attention paid to effects of complex gain differences between receiving channels used to decompose the linearly received signals into circular components. Hourly and monthly averaged midday DAE electron densities are presented, revealing good agreement with IRI model estimates. Monthly averaged midnight DAE electron densities are also presented, revealing good qualitative agreement with the IRI model estimates.

脉冲压缩方法检测岩石弹性波速度

针对岩石弹性波速度检测信噪比低、回波信号初至时间不易判读,以及较长岩石（或混凝土）超声检测难以穿透问题,提出用脉冲压缩方法检测弹性波速度。该方法与超声脉冲法检测的不同之处是在发射端采用编码信号激励,在接收端进行匹配滤波,得到高信噪比的压缩信号。介绍线性调频信号的宽时宽带特性,分析了脉冲压缩的基本原理和数字实现过程。试验研究了换能器带宽对激发信号的影响。用常规的单脉冲法和脉冲压缩方法检测了多个岩样的弹性波速度,试验结果表明,两种检测结果差异较小。给出了脉冲压缩方法用于岩石弹性波速度检测的具体步骤和计算过程。综合分析,脉冲压缩方法检测岩石弹性波速度是可行的,能够用于岩土工程的质量评价。

Role of a rheophyte in bench development on a sand‐bed river in southeast Australia

Casuarina cunninghamiana Miq. is an important rheophytic tree in New South Wales, Australia because it is fast growing and can tolerate flood disturbance. Widden Brook is an active sand‐bed stream that has widened substantially since initial European settlement in the early 1800s and is characterized by high flood variability and multi‐decadal periods of alternating high and low flood frequency, called flood‐ and drought‐dominated regimes. Channel contraction by bench formation is currently occurring. Conversion of coarse‐grained point bars to benches is an important process of channel contraction. When point bars grow to a height where suspended sediment is first deposited to thicknesses of at least 50 mm by sub‐bankfull floods, rapid establishment of C. cunninghamiana occurs. As the trees grow they partially block bankside flows, thereby locally reducing flow velocity and inducing further deposition on the benches. Such synergistic relationships between bar height and inundation, fine‐grained sediment deposition, tree establishment and the development of a bankside low current velocity zone are fundamental for bench development. Size‐class frequency data demonstrate that C. cunninghamiana on the benches consists of pure even‐aged stands with most trees clustering near the average diameter. Two benches have similar size class frequency distributions but a third has significantly smaller trees. Recruitment on benches is episodic, may occur in areas open to grazing and is dependent on favourable conditions that allow tree survival. These favourable conditions include high seed availability, low levels of competition, deposition of fine sediments and adequate moisture for tree growth. Although C. cunninghamiana germinates on bars, seedlings are eliminated by prolonged inundation or flood scour and do not reach maturity. Recurring catastrophic floods or a sequence of large floods in rapid succession episodically destroy benches by substantial channel widening and initiate a new phase of bar and bench development. A conceptual model of the conversion of point bars to benches by thick mud deposition and C. cunninghamiana recruitment has been developed for sand‐bed streams draining similar sandstone catchments.

Spatial variability of rainfall on a sub‐kilometre scale

The variability of rainfall in space and time is an essential driver of many processes in nature but little is known about its extent on the sub‐kilometre scale, despite many agricultural and environmental experiments on this scale. A network of 13 tipping‐bucket rain gauges was operated on a 1·4 km² test site in southern Germany for four years to quantify spatial trends in rainfall depth, intensity, erosivity, and predicted runoff. The random measuring error ranged from 10% to 0·1% in case of 1 mm and 100 mm rainfall, respectively. The wind effects could be well described by the mean slope of the horizon at the stations. Except for one station, which was excluded from further analysis, the relative differences due to wind were in maximum ±5%. Gradients in rainfall depth representing the 1‐km² scale derived by linear regressions were much larger and ranged from 1·0 to 15·7 mm km^?1 with a mean of 4·2 mm km^?1 (median 3·3 mm km^?1). They mainly developed during short bursts of rain and thus gradients were even larger for rain intensities and caused a variation in rain erosivity of up to 255% for an individual event. The trends did not have a single primary direction and thus level out on the long term, but for short‐time periods or for single events the assumption of spatially uniform rainfall is invalid on the sub‐kilometre scale. The strength of the spatial trend increased with rain intensity. This has important implications for any hydrological or geomorphologic process sensitive to maximum rain intensities, especially when focusing on large, rare events. These sub‐kilometre scale differences are hence highly relevant for environmental processes acting on short‐time scales like flooding or erosion. They should be considered during establishing, validating and application of any event‐based runoff or erosion model. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
