一次夏季强沙尘暴形成机理的综合分析

利用沙尘暴发生前夕酒泉基准站的探空资料、沙尘暴发生前后地面自动站观测资料和有关台站的常规观测资料对2004年7月12日出现在我国内蒙古西部和河西走廊西端的一次沙尘暴天气过程,从大气层结稳定度、地形因素对沙尘暴影响的机理以及下垫面性质等方面进行了分析,并对天气现象发生时地面气象要素和地温的变化进行了研究。结果表明：①大气层结的不稳定起了激发作用;②该地区特殊的地形条件所造成的“狭管效应”起到了加强作用;③沙尘暴爆发前风速迅速增大,为起沙提供了动力条件;④气压和相对湿度在沙尘暴发生前夕和沙尘暴过程的中后期有明显扰动, 沙尘暴结束后温度、气压、相对湿度和地面等气象要素有显著性突变。     

近300a来古里雅冰芯记录的气候突变事件

根据古里雅冰芯高分辨率气候环境信息记录,利用小波气候突变的检测方法,对近300a来的气候突变事件进行了检测.结果表明,在百年尺度上,近300a来古里雅冰芯中所记录的δ¹⁸O(温度代用指标)发生了2次突变,分别在1788年和1932年;净积累量(降水量的代用指标)也发生了2次突变,分别在1805年和1939年;降水突变发生的时间迟于温度突变发生的时间.时间尺度越短,发生突变的次数则越多,这也体现了气候变化的层次性.因此,较好地确定隐含在气候资料中冷暖(干湿)期突变的位置,从冷暖(干湿)期的变更上去把握气候变化,将有助于认识气候变化的机理.     

超强台风鲇鱼路径北翘预报分析

利用常规气象观测资料、实时业务数值预报模式、欧洲中期天气预报中心（ECMWF）ERA Interim全球再分析资料（1.5°×1.5°）以及NCEP全球再分析资料（1°×1°）,对1013号超强台风鲇鱼移入南海后路径突然北翘的原因进行了初步分析,并对业务数值预报模式及中日美三家综合业务预报的台风路径预报进行了检验。结果发现：南半球越赤道气流向北涌进致使赤道缓冲带北进与＂鲇鱼＂东侧的副热带高压脊合并是＂鲇鱼＂在南海路径发生突然北翘的主要原因;当业务数值预报模式出现较大分歧时,台风路径多模式集成预报或超级集合预报是解决数值预报较大分歧的有效途径,为此有必要加强台风路径多模式集成预报或超级集合预报综合应用平台的研发,并在此基础上进一步完善现有台风业务预报流程。     

日喀则近53年气候变化特征分析

利用线性趋势函数及Mann-Kendall突变检测分析法,分析了西藏藏南河谷日喀则气象站气温及降水近53年的气候变化特征。结果表明,年平均气温与极端气温均呈上升趋势,而最高气温的上升趋势尤为明显,年降水量波动上升。冬春季增温趋势较秋、夏季更为明显,春夏季降水呈增加趋势,而秋季降水略有减少。Mann-Kendall突变检测表明,近53年日喀则地区气温有明显的增暖趋势,但20世纪60—70年代变冷趋势亦十分显著,在2001年温度发生一次突变。年降水量在1958年发生了由少向多的突变,但这一突变仅维持到20世纪60年代中期。     

Relationship Between an Abrupt Drought-Flood Transition over Mid-Low Reaches of the Yangtze River in 2011 and the Intraseasonal Oscillation over Mid-High Latitudes of East Asia

NCEP/NCAR daily reanalysis data and Chinese daily gridded precipitation data are used to study the relationship between an aprupt drought-flood transition over the mid-low reaches of the Yangtze River in 2011 and the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO; 30-60 days) in the mid-high latitude meridional circulation of the upper troposphere over East Asia. The abrupt transition from drought to flood occurs in early June. The first two recovered fields of the complex empirical orthogonal function show that northward-propagating westerlies from low latitudes converge with southward-propagating westerlies from high latitudes over the mid-low reaches of the Yangtze River (MLRYR) in mid-late May. The timing of this convergence corresponds to the flood period in early-mid June. The ISO index is significantly and positively correlated with rainfall over the MLRYR. During the dry phase (before the transition), the upper troposphere over the MLRYR is characterized by cyclonic flow, easterly winds, and convergence. The regional circulation is dominated by a wave train with a cyclone over east of Lake Baikal, an anticyclone over northern China, and a cyclone over the MLRYR. During the wet phase, the situation is reversed. The configuration of the wave train during the dry phase favors the southward propagation of westerly wind disturbances, while the configuration of the wave train during the wet phase favors the development and maintenance of a pumping effect and sustained ascending motions over the MLRYR.     

河西走廊沙尘暴50 a频率突变检测分析

 利用1958年至2007年民勤、敦煌、武威、张掖、景泰的沙尘暴春季发生频次资料,运用滑动t检验和滑动F检验进行突变检测分析,根据检验结果综合确定突变点及其突变强度,寻求沙尘暴发生频率突变规律及产生原因,为沙尘暴发生频率的变化趋势研究和预测提供参考。滑动t检测结果显示,5站点的沙尘暴春季频率突变数量呈现往东部递增的趋势;降低突变较多;升高突变年份集中在20世纪60年代末期和90年代末期,降低突变主要出现在1983年及2002年前后;均值降低突变强度大于升高突变。滑动Ｆ检验结果显示突变均是方差降低突变;河西走廊中东部的沙尘频率波动性差异较其他地区更为显著;方差突变出现在80年代中期及90年代初期,其余时间的波动性的差异维持在一个较低的水平。当对沙尘暴发生频率进行滑动t及滑动F检验时,两种情况下的降低突变检测结果存在一定的对应关系。河西走廊地区的沙尘暴发生频率突变与地面风速、大风日数、降水量及平均气温的突变存在密切联系,可作为沙尘暴频率突变的预测因子。     

EVIDENCE FOR ABRUPT CLIMATIC CHANGES ON NORTHWESTERN MARGIN OF EAST ASIAN MONSOON REGION DURING LAST DEGLACIATION

Based on investigations of the Zhongwei Nanshan aeolian section situated in the southeastern margin of Tengger Desert, carbon-14 and TL (thermoluminescence) dating results and paleoclimatie proxies such as magnetic susceptibility and grain size, we inferred that the northwestern margin of East Asian monsoon region experienced abrupt climatic changes during the last deglaciation. Six oscillation events were identified: Oldest Dryas, Bφlling, Older Dryas, Allerφd, Intra-Allerφd Cold Period (IACP) and Younger Dryas (YD). The summer monsoon was weaker during Oldest Dryas and Younger Dryas when the winter monsoon was stronger. However, during the B/A (Bφlling/Allerφd) period, the summer monsoon strengthened, reflected by magnetic susceptibility, when the winter monsoon also became strong, which is different from the paleoclimatic pattern established in the East Asian monsoon region. Furthermore, the summer monsoon was nearly in phase with the climate changes inferred from the oxygen isotopic records of

Multiple generations of pseudotachylyte in the Wenchuan fault zone and their implications for coseismic weakening

Pseudotachylytes are generally considered to be remnent products of past earthquakes, conveying significant information, which provide improved insight into the fault behavior and their mechanical properties. Pseudotachylytes and cataclastic rocks are exposed in the Pengguan complex along the Yingxiu-Beichuan fault zone, which ruptured during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, at the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau in Sichuan province, China. From outcrop investigations, pseudotachylyte veins are gray, dark-gray, brown and black, with thicknesses ranging from several mm to ∼10 cm. Microstructural observations, via optical microscope and SEM, show that distinct textures, such as spherulites, microlites, honeycomb-like vesicle structures, flow textures, irregularly shaped and deep embayed clasts, are present in the pseudotachylytes, suggesting that the pseudotachylytes are indeed melt-origin. Different colored veins and their overprinting relations observed at both macroscopic and microscopic scales, demonstrate that seismic faulting events and the associated generations of pseudotachylyte occurred repeatedly along the Yingxiu-Beichuan fault zone. Friction melt lubrication, thermal pressurization and mechanical lubrication, all can exist during one fault slip motion, indicating that multiple fault weakening mechanisms may work during a single coseismic event.
