厄尔尼诺与全球趋暖灾害骤增对农业持续发展的影响

根据近 1 2 0年来全球大气温度的记录 ,进行了每 1 0年平均气温的分析 ,可以明显地划分为 3个时期即温度偏低期 (1 880～ 1 91 9年 ,至少 40年 ) ,过渡期 (温度变化起伏不大 ,1 92 0～ 1 979年 ,约 60年 )和升温期。再参照有关小冰期 (1 4 50或 1 4 90年开始至 1 850或 1 880年止 ,约 40 0年 )的文献资料 ,小冰期的气温比 1 880～ 1 91 9年时期更低些 ,因此推论温度偏低期持续了约 450年。由此可见 ,近 450年全球大气温度的变化 ,大体上是一个单向渐变过程。根据本世纪厄尔尼诺出现的情况 ,也可划分为三个明显不同的时期 :从1 90 0年有记录开始至 1 940年为厄尔尼诺偶见期 ,在此时期尚未看出全球变暖 ;1 940～1 980年为厄尔尼诺中等发生期 ,全球出现微弱或中等程度的升温 ;1 980～ 1 998年为厄尔尼诺频繁出现期 ,此时全球明显升温。由此认为 1 0 0年来厄尔尼诺的出现情况 ,类似上述全球大气升温的单向渐变过程。本文考虑到海洋的热惯性 ,提出应关注温室效应和厄尔尼诺的叠加效应的新观点 ,提出今后几十年或更长时间内 ,厄尔尼诺仍将频繁出现 ,全球温度将保持偏暖状态。与此伴同发生的是各类自然灾害如洪涝、干旱、生物灾害等的频繁出现并加剧。应做好防灾减灾工作 ,维护农业持续生产力。     

An Isentropic Mass Circulation View on the Extreme Cold Events in the 2020/21 Winter

Three extreme cold events successively occurred across East Asia and North America in the 2020/21 winter.This study investigates the underlying mechanisms of these record-breaking persistent cold events from the isentropic mass circulation(IMC)perspective.Results show that the midlatitude cold surface temperature anomalies always co-occurred with the high-latitude warm anomalies,and this was closely related to the strengthening of the low-level equatorward cold air branch of the IMC,particularly along the climatological cold air routes over East Asia and North America.Specifically,the two cold surges over East Asia in early winter were results of intensification of cold air transport there,influenced by the Arctic sea ice loss in autumn.The weakened cold air transport over North America associated with warmer northeastern Pacific sea surface temperatures(SSTs)explained the concurrent anomalous warmth there.This enhanced a wavenumber-1 pattern and upward wave propagation,inducing a simultaneous and long-lasting stronger poleward warm air branch(WB)of the IMC in the stratosphere and hence a displacement-type Stratospheric Sudden Warming(SSW)event on 4 January.The WB-induced increase in the air mass transported into the polar stratosphere was followed by intensification of the equatorward cold branch,hence promoting the occurrence of two extreme cold events respectively over East Asia in the beginning of January and over North America in February.Results do not yield a robust direct linkage from La Ni?a to the SSW event,IMC changes,and cold events,though the extratropical warm SSTs are found to contribute to the February cold surge in North America.     

EL NINO EPISODE-RELATED NH 100 hpa CIRCULATION ANOMALY

Investigation is carried out of winter Northern Hemisphere (NH) 100 hpa teleconnection, indicating the existence of a PNA pattern whose wavetrain well resembles that at 500 hpa level. During the climax of the EI Nino episode (winter), the 100 PNA becomes strong, a fact that manifests itself more clearly than at the 500 hpa level. Moreover, study is made of the anomaly in the tropical monthly windfield and mean circulation on a seasonal basis in a range of phases of the EI Nino event. Results show that the 100 hpa geopotential height is lowered on a large scale in the spring and previous winter with the event happening as compared to a La Nina year, wherewith diagnosis is performed of the 1991/1992 EI Nino episode.     

太平洋环流速度减慢的原因

对南极气温资料、环南极海冰资料、太平洋海温资料、厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜资料的模拟验证，发现厄尔尼诺事件发生与德雷克海峡海冰减少在时间上有对应关系。南极半岛海冰减少是太平洋环流速度减慢的原因，德雷克海峡的海冰起重要作用。这一综合检验结果给出以日食—厄尔尼诺系数预测厄尔尼诺事件的有效性和准确性。两年周期的太平洋海温振荡使日食与厄尔尼诺之间存在12～24个月的位相差。     

长江中游1998年特大洪涝成因分析

应用 １００ｈＰａ、５００ｈＰａ月平均高度资料、海温、射出长波辐射（ＯＬＲ）及武汉的气温 和降水资料,对１９９８年长江中游特大洪涝的成因作了总结分析．结果表明,冬春厄尔尼诺、副 热带高压和从春到初夏期间,印度洋－西太平洋赤道辐合带（ＩＴＣＺ）南侧积云对流的异常较 强,以及冬季雨雪异常偏多等气候特点,是有利于洪涝发生的强信号．     

日食一厄尔尼诺系数及其应用

通过比较本世纪以来的厄尔尼诺年和日食资料,发现了高纬（包括极区）日食与厄尔尼诺年之间存在着一定的因果关系。通过定义年日食一厄尔厄诺系数Ｒ１和累积日食一厄尔尼诺系数Ｒ２后,可以发现当某年的Ｒ１≥９或Ｒ２≥１０．５级时,则当年必为厄尔尼诺年,反之亦然．本文还提出了日食诱发厄尔尼诺现象的热一动力机制,并预测２０００年将是一个强厄尔尼诺年．     

Impacts of climate variability on stream-flow in the Yellow River

This paper examines the impacts of climate variability upon the regional hydrological regimes of the Yellow River in China. Results indicate that the average annual precipitation is 494·8 mm in La Niña years and only 408·8 mm in El Niño years. The difference is 86·0 mm, or 18·8% over the long-term average. The stream-flows in the La Niña years are higher than that in El Niño years: 9·2% at the Lan-Zhou station, 9·5% for Tou-Dao-Guai station, 11·8% for Long-Men, 17·6% for San-Men-Xia, 19·2% at the Hua-Yuan-Hou station, and 22·0% at the Li-Jin station. Both precipitation and stream-flow responses show temporal and spatial patterns. The relationship among the stream-flow, precipitation, and temperature, which was obtained by ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst based on observed data, indicates stream-flow is sensitive to both precipitation and temperature. For small precipitation increases (less than 13%), the stream-flow percentage change is less than the precipitation change for the Yellow River. The results of this paper can be used as a reference for watershed water resources planning and management to maintain the healthy life and proper function of the river.

VARIATIONS OF 30—60 DAY OSCILLATION IN ATMOSPHERE BEFORE AND DURING 1982 EL NINO

By using the upper-wind data from July 1980 to June 1983,the variations of the low-frequency oscillation(LFO)in the atmosphere before and during 1982 El Nino have been investigated.Before the El Nino,the LFOpropagates from west to east over the equator of the Eastern Hemisphere and from east to west over 20°N.The eastward propagating LFO over the equator consists of zonal wavenumber 1 propagating eastward andzonal wavenumber 2 with a character of stationary wave.The oscillation of zonal wavenumber 2 can modulatethe oscillation strength.After the onset of the El Nino,the propagating directions of the LFO over the equatorand 20°N of the Eastern Hemisphere change to be westward and eastward,respectively.The LFO over thewestern Pacific weakens rapidly and one coming from middle and high latitudes propagates to the equator.From the phase compositions of streamline fields for the zonal wavenumber 1 of equatorial westward propa-gatirg LFO,it is found that the atmospheric heat source in the equator of the eastern Pacific(EEP)excites aseries of the equatorial cyclones and anticyclones which move northward and westward and form the westwardpropagating LFO over the equator.With the wavelength of 20000km,this kind of equatorial wave is similarto the mixing Rossby-gravity wave.In its westward and northward movement,the circulation in East Asiais modified.This may be the mechanism of the influence of El Nino on the climate of China.

Role of the shale tectonics on the evolution of the Eastern Venezuelan Cenozoic thrust and fold belt

This paper presents a structural and stratigraphic analysis of the foreland-fold-belt of the Eastern Venezuelan Basin and the main conclusions about shale tectonic mechanisms in the area. The deformation of the foreland-fold-belt has been investigated analyzing the growth strata architecture preserved on the structure fold limbs. Three contractional episodes are proposed for the Eastern Venezuelan Basin: 1) Oligocene to middle Miocene, 2) late Miocene to Pliocene and 3) Pleistocene. The first episode produced contractional listric faults inside the shale and long displacement blind thrusts in the underlying Cretaceous units. The second episode produced the deformation of the Cenozoic strata into overlapping east-west-trending, convex northward anticlines that covers more than 200 kilometers in length and 40 kilometers wide, break-through normal faults product of a high sedimentary load that overcomes contraction and the formation of short-displacement blind thrusts in the underlying Cretaceous units. The last episode is related to an oblique compression and the formation of high angle extensional faults with dextral movement and NW-SE strike. The role of the shale tectonics in the evolution implies that shale deforms in two stages: 1) folding and 2) normal faulting of the crest of the anticline (Break through normal faulting). Folding controlled the sediment distribution during most of the Neogene strata, while the normal faulting of the anticlines represent basin potential for hydrocarbon. The best potential hydrocarbon plays in the basin are related to oblique-collision restricted basins and controlled by break-through normal faults and the presence of NW-SE strike faults that connect the HC source with the reservoirs. Results from this research imply that the role of sedimentation is fundamental for the overburden sand distribution and tectonic constrain of the folds.
