Permafrost mapping of Northeast European Russia based on the period of climatic warming 1970-1995

Verdenskrigen som efterhånden i do krigførende land tok alle hjelpemidler og all intelligens i sin tjeneste og innskrenket den frie samferdsel selv for de nøitrale stater, måtte selvfølgelig legge hindringer i veien for forskningsekspedisjoner til Asia. De stoppet velikke helt op. Som vi skal se blev der også under krigen foretatt og begynt undersøkelser av denne art; men først efter krigen utviklet de sig igjen i større stil. Det synes derfor å være naturlig å velge denne verdenskatastrofe som et skille, og jeg vil i det følgende mere utførlig omtale bare de ekspedisjoner og forskninger, som vesentlig er blitt utført efter denne tid.     

A View of Earth System Model Development

This paper gives a definition of earth system model and shows three development phases of it, including physical climate system model, earth climate system model, and earth system model, based on an inves- tigation of climate system models in the world. It provides an expatiation on the strategic significance of future development of earth system model, an introduction of some representative scientific research plans on development of earth system model home and abroad, and a review of its status and trends based on the models of the fourth assessment report （AR4） ofthe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）. Some suggestions on future development of earth system model in China are given, which are expected to be helpful to advance the development.     

Present-day climatology and projected changes of warm and cold days in the CNRM-CM3 global climate model

The impact of global warming on the warmest and coldest days of the annual cycle is explored according to an A2 scenario simulated by the CNRM-CM3 climate model in the framework of the IPCC AR4 intercomparison. Given the multi-model spread in IPCC projections, a validation strategy is proposed using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. Validation of the late twentieth century model climatology shows that warm and cold model events are slightly too long and infrequent. Although interannual trends in the warm (cold) day occurrence were positive (negative) only for six (three) of the nine considered sub-continental regions, simulated model trends are always positive (negative). This different behaviour suggests that simulated non-anthropogenic decadal variability is small relative to anthropogenic trends. Large-scale synoptic processes associated with European regional warm and cold peaks are also described and validated. Regional cold peaks are better reproduced than warm peaks, whose intensity accuracy is limited by other physical variables. Positive (negative) winter anomalies of sea and land surface temperature lead to summers with severe (weak) temperatures. These inter-annual anomalies are generated by a persistent pressure dipole over Europe. Regarding climate change, warm (cold) events will become more (less) frequent and longer (shorter). The number of warm days will largely rise and the number of cold days will dramatically decrease. The intensity of warm days will be particularly pronounced over Europe, given the projected summer drying in this region. However, according to the limited skill of the CNRM model, these results must be considered with caution.     

春末夏初青藏高原植被对全球变暖响应的区域特征

利用1982-2002年Pathfinder NDVI遥感数据, 采用REOF和倾向度趋势分析方法, 研究了5～6月青藏高原地表植被变化区域特征及与全球变暖的关系。21年来高原区域春末夏初植被变化存在明显的空间差异, 且存在一个位于高原南北呈带状分布的植被显著变化区域。该区域内植被对全球气温变暖响应显著, 与前期5月北半球平均气温相关系数达到0.7675, 通过0.001显著性水平检验; 植被NDVI随气温升高呈现出显著一致的增加趋势, 增长速率超过10%/10 a, 是全球变暖响应的显著区和敏感区。进一步的分析表明, 对植被全球变暖响应显著的区域基本上处于高山山脉或半荒漠NDVI值低于0.12覆盖度较低的区域。不同植被类型对变暖响应的对比表明, 草地对全球变暖响应明显高于林地, 其植被NDVI 21年约增加10%。     

1901-2007年澳门地面气温变化的分析

 利用澳门的气温观测资料, 分析了澳门1901-2007年地面气温变化的基本特征。结果表明：近107 a的升温率为0.066℃/10a, 明显低于全球平均升温率。季节平均气温的年代际变化有明显的季节差异,最大的增暖发生在春季和冬季,夏季的增暖最小;冬、夏季的变化分别有明显的时间尺度约为60 a和30 a的振动。年平均最高气温的升温率仅为最低气温的一半左右。最高气温的年代际变化呈缓慢的气候波动现象,20世纪80年代中期以后的升幅与历史上的增暖大致相当;最低气温近20多年来的增暖趋势可能是其长期（变暖）趋势的延续。年平均日较差整体来说是趋于减少的,但近30 a却趋于增加。     

北京“数九”时节的气候特征及其变化分析

根据北京市观象台1971～2007年"数九"时节的逐日气象要素资料,利用统计学方法,分析了北京"数九"时节的气候特征及其变化情况.结果显示:北京的寒冷阶段在"三九"至"五九",这期间在"三九"末到"四九"初日平均气温连续4天维持在最低值-3.8℃,各"九"的极端最低气温是-18.3℃,出现在"五九"的第1天;各"九"平均气温的最低值是-3.5℃,出现在"三九",因此,最冷的时段是"三九";"数九"时节81天的平均气温在70~90年代变暖较快,其增温幅度为1.25℃·(10 a)～(-1);各"九"平均气温随年代顺序变化亦属变暖趋势,"五九"的变暖幅度最大,达到1.38℃·(10 a)～(-1).     

平流层爆发性增温过程中臭氧的垂直分布特征

利用ECMWF资料分析了平流层爆发性增温 (SSW) 过程中臭氧体积混合比的垂直分布的变化, 结果表明: 平流层爆发性增温过程中臭氧体积混合比增大, 而其极大值大多数形成在增温盛期。同时臭氧体积混合比的高值区在爆发性增温过程中随高度发生一定的变化, 据此对其变化分为两类: (1) 下传型: 在增温初期臭氧体积混合的高值区随高度下传至一定高度, 在增温盛期形成极大值然后随高度抬升到大致增温前的高度。 (2) 增厚型: 在增温过程中臭氧体积混合比的高值区厚度增加, 同时附近区域的臭氧体积混合比也增大, 而且在增温前臭氧体积混合比高值区在高度上没有多大变化, 增温开始后有所抬升。平流层爆发性增温过程中臭氧高值区随高度变化的这两种类型, 是由于平流层爆发性增温期间剩余环流对臭氧输送的结果。臭氧变化的下传型是由于在爆发性增温前剩余环流存在着中纬度向极地的明显输送, 并且伴随着极地强烈的下沉运动, 这就使得中纬度输送来的臭氧向下输送, 因此出现了臭氧高值区的下传; 而臭氧变化的增厚型是由于在爆发性增温期间剩余环流不但有中纬度向极地的输送, 而且在极地附近5 hPa高度处出现了上下两支输送气流, 向上的输送气流使中纬度输送来的臭氧向上输送, 而向下的输送气流使中纬度输送来的臭氧向下输送, 进而使增温期间极地附近的臭氧的高值区增厚。同时分析还表明: 平流层爆发性增温过程中中纬度臭氧体积混合比减少。

Trends in graded precipitation in China from 1961 to 2000

Daily precipitation rates observed at 576 stations in China from 1961 to 2000 were classified into six grades of intensity, including trace （no amount）, slight （≤ 1 mm d^-1）, small, large, heavy, and very heavy. The last four grades together constitute the so called effective precipitation （〉 1 mm d^-1）. The spatial distribution and temporal trend of the graded precipitation days are examined. A decreasing trend in trace precipitation days is observed for the whole of China, except at several sites in the south of the middle section of the Yangtze River, while a decreasing trend in slight precipitation days only appears in eastern China. The decreasing trend and interannual variability of trace precipitation days is consistent with the warming trend and corresponding temperature variability in China for the same period, indicating a possible role played by increased surface air temperature in cloud formation processes. For the effective precipitation days, a decreasing trend is observed along the Yellow River valley and for the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Southwest China, while an increasing trend is found for Xinjiang, the eastern Tibetan Plateau, Northeast China and Southeast China. The decreasing trend of effective precipitation days for the middle- lower Yellow River valley and the increasing trend for the lower Yangtze River valley are most likely linked to anomalous monsoon circulation in East China. The most important contributor to the trend in effective precipitation depends upon the region concerned.
