Geostatistical mapping of geomorphic variables in the presence of trend

Mapping geomorphic variables geostatistically, specifically by kriging, runs into difficulties when there is trend. The reason is that the variogram required for the kriging must be of residuals from any trend, which in turn cannot be estimated optimally by the usual method of trend surface analysis because the residuals are correlated. The difficulties can be overcome by the use of residual maximum likelihood (REML) to estimate both the trend and the variogram of the residuals simultaneously. We summarize the theory of REML as it applies to kriging in the presence of trend. We present the equations to show how estimates of the trend are combined with kriging of residuals to give empirical best linear unbiased predictions (E‐BLUPs). We then apply the method to estimate the height of the sub‐Upper‐Chalk surface beneath the Chiltern Hills of southeast England from 238 borehole data. The variogram of the REML residuals is substantially different from that computed by ordinary least squares (OLS) analysis. The map of the predicted surface is similar to that made from kriging with the OLS variogram. The variances, however, are substantially larger because (a) they derive from a variogram with a much larger sill and (b) they include the uncertainty of the estimate of the trend.

广西季风暴雨中期预报平台研制思路与应用

利用1980--2001年NCEP和TBB资料，采用逐例与合成分析相结合的方法，分析了夏季风影响期间广西大范围暴雨发生前各层天气系统和盂加拉湾强对流云团的配置演变，发现暴雨前盂加拉湾强对流发展和经向风加强等特征，并确立了广西大范围暴雨的高低层环流背景场和预报指标。将T213资料与NCEP资料进行线性趋势估计，建立了广西季风暴雨中期预报平台，试用效果较好。     

和田市近40年蒸发量的变化特征

利用和田市气象站1961-2000年20cm口径蒸发量资料，对蒸发量的年、季、月变化趋势、年代际变化特征、突变和周期等气候变化作了较全面分析。结果表明：40年来各季、月蒸发量呈现不同程度的上升趋势，年蒸发量以48．52mm／10a的倾向率增多，偏多趋势主要表现在春季、秋季，其中5月份蒸发量偏多趋势最明显。年蒸发量在20世纪60年代为相对偏少期，80年代为相对偏多期。采用累积距平曲线和标准Morlet小波方法对年总蒸发量进行突变检验和周期分析表明，年蒸发量在1978年发生一次突变，蒸发量变化具有4～6年、11年和22年左右的年周期变化。     

近40年南方高温变化特征与2003年的高温事件

利用从全国743个站点数据集中挑选出的江南、华南地区的121个站点1961-2004年逐日日最高气温和日平均气温资料，分析了近40多年来我国南方地区最高气温的变化特征。结果表明：2003年夏季江南、华南地区出现大范围异常高温天气。虽然在1961-2004年间，江南、华南地区年平均最高气温和年平均气温均有增加趋势，但夏季极端高温事件（≥35℃日数）并没有显著增加的趋势。分析最高气温的概率分布特征，得出2003年夏季江南、华南地区出现的极端酷热天气，只是年际变化的表现，而不是长期变化趋势的反映。     

民丰县近48年霜冻特征分析及防御对策

利用民丰县近48a霜冻气候资料,分析了初、终霜冻日及无霜期历史演变特征,提出了相应防御对策措施熏分析结果呈示:民丰县近48a来初霜期呈偏晚趋势,终霜期略偏早趋势,无霜期呈延长趋势。这种变化趋势与气候变暖理论相一致。     

Decreasing Reference Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate—A Case of Changjiang (Yangtze) River Catchment During 1970–2000

This study deals with temporal trends in the Penman-Monteith reference evapotranspiration estimated from standard meteorological observations, observed pan evaporation, and four related meteorological variables during 1970–2000 in the Yangtze River catchment. Relative contributions of the four meteorological variables to changes in the reference evapotranspiration are quantified. The results show that both the reference evapotranspiration and the pan evaporation have significant decreasing trends in the upper, the middle as well as in the whole Changjiang (Yangtze) River catchment at the 5% significance level, while the air temperature shows a significant increasing trend. The decreasing trend detected in the reference evapotranspiration can be attributed to the significant decreasing trends in the net radiation and the wind speed.     

Study on Ozone Change over the Tibetan Plateau

This paper reviewed the main results with respect to the discovery of low center of total column ozone (TCO) over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) in summer, and its formation mechanism. Some important advances are summarized as follows: The fact is discovered that there is a TCO low center over the TP in summer, and the features of the background circulation over the TP are analyzed; it is confirmed that the TP is a pathway of mass exchange between the troposphere and stratosphere, and it influences the TCO low center over the TP in summer; models reproduce the TCO low center over the TP in summer, and the formation mechanism is explored; in addition, the analyses and diagnoses of the observation data indicate that not only there is the TCO low center over the TP in summer, but also TCO decrease trend over the TP is one of the strong centers of TCO decrease trend in the same latitude; finally, the model predicts the future TCO change over the TP.
