An Index of East Asian Winter Monsoon Applied to the Description of China's Mainland Winter Temperature Changes

Using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data （Version 1.0） and the observation data of China from January 1951 to February 2007, a new index of East Asian winter monsoon circulation （I EAWM） was defined based on the comparison of previous different winter monsoon indices and circulation factors influencing the winter climate over China. Its relationships with winter temperature over China and large-scale circulation were analyzed. Results show that IEAWM can successfully describe the variation of China＇s mainland winter temperature and the East Asian winter monsoon （EAWM） system. This index reflects the integrated effect of the circulations over high and low latitudes and the thermal difference between the continent and the ocean. While in the previous studies, most monsoon indices only describe the single monsoon member. The IEAWM is a good indicator of the intensity of the EAWM. Positive values of/EAWM correspond to the strong EAWM, the stronger Siberian high and East Asian trough than normal , and the strengthening of the meridional shear of 500-hPa zonal wind between high and low latitudes over East Asia, and therefore, the southward cold advection becomes stronger and leads to the decrease in surface temperature over China; and vice versa. The IEAWM inter decadal change is obviously positive before the mid-1980s, but negative since the mid-1980s, in good agreement with the fact of the winter warming in China after 1985.     

1956-2005年中国暖冬和冬季温度变化

Areasonable warmer winter index(IwwI)in the framework of the three equiprobability categories(i.e.warmer,normal and colder categories)is proposed based on the winter temperature data observed at 565 stations in China during 1956-2005,where IwwI is defined as the ratio of the station number of warmer category over the total number of stations.The results suggest that the trend of IwwI was consistent with that of the winter temperature on decadal time scale,and their rates of change were 10%/10 a and 0.4℃/10 a,respectively.It is found that only 13 warmer winter events in total were detected by IwwI over the past 50 years,and 85% of them occurred after 1986.     

气候变暖对宁夏引黄灌区春小麦生产的影响

 对宁夏引黄灌区10个观测站1961-2004年春小麦生长发育期（3月上旬至7月上旬）的气温进行分析,结果表明：宁夏引黄灌区春小麦生长期的气候明显变暖。t检验结果表明,春小麦生长发育期日平均气温的突变发生在1989年,突变后的气温比突变前升高了0.7℃。在春小麦生长发育各阶段,气温都有所升高,但没有超出春小麦生长发育的适宜温度范围。引黄灌区春小麦的温度敏感系数在3月中旬至4月上旬及5月上旬至6月上旬为正值,这两个时段的气候变暖有利于春小麦生产;6月中旬至7月上旬及4月中下旬温度敏感系数为负值,这两个时段的气候变暖不利于春小麦生产。总体而言,气候变暖对春小麦单产的贡献为-2.6%。

气候变暖背景下中原腹地冬小麦气候适宜度变化

通过构建冬小麦光照、温度、降水及综合气候适宜度计算模型,探讨气候变化对冬小麦气候适宜性的影响。结果表明:冬小麦全生育期温度、光照、降水及综合气候适宜度均值分别为0.54、0.64、0.37及0.50;冬小麦对光照适宜性较好,降水是限制冬小麦生长发育的主要因子;温度和降水适宜度以0.001·a^-1线性趋势下降,光照适宜度以0.002·a^-1线性趋势下降,气候因子匹配效果变差对冬小麦的生长不利。冬前生长阶段温度、光照和降水适宜性较弱,各气候因子匹配效果较差。出苗-拔节期降水适宜性较强,各气候因子组合效果较差;拔节-抽穗期和抽穗-乳熟期温度与光照适宜性较强,水分胁迫较大,气候因子组合效果趋好。乳熟-成熟期光照和降水适宜性较强,综合气候适宜性变差。光照、温度和降水适宜度在全生育期的中后期与冬小麦产量的相关性比较显著。     

中原腹地气候变化对冬小麦产量的影响——以商丘地区为例

为探明气候变化对商丘地区冬小麦产量的影响,根据1991～2010商丘市气候资料和小麦产量资料,利用数学统计与Thornthwaite Memoriae模型,结合未来气候预测结果定量分析了气候变化对冬小麦产量的影响。结果表明,冬小麦产量整体上呈波动上升趋势;主成分分析表明,气温、降水量、蒸发量与极端温度为影响冬小麦产量的主要气候因子,蒸发量过大及极端低温对冬小麦生产不利。商丘地区"暖湿型"气候有利于冬小麦生产力的提高,"冷干型"气候对冬小麦生产最为不利;未来几十年内气候可能将向"暖湿型"变化,对商丘地区粮食作物产量的提升较为有利。     

兰州市冬季霾的统计预报研究

 利用污染扩散方程,在分析了能见度与空气污染浓度之间关系的基础上,建立了兰州市冬季霾的统计预报模型。此预报模型既考虑了污染物排放量和污染浓度的作用,又考虑了气象条件的影响。利用兰州市2003—2008年冬季的能见度资料和同期兰州气象站的地面气象要素、天气形势和T213数值产品,分析了霾的出现与气象条件的定量关系,发现哈密、敦煌、酒泉3站平均海平面气压与兰州市之间气压差增大或是兰州附近的气压梯度增加时,有利于空气污染物的扩散,发生霾的可能性较低;反之,容易出现霾。此外,通过逐步回归,最终确定了冬季兰州市霾的24 h预报方程。使用2009年数据进行试预报检验,结果表明,此预报方法方便实用,具有较好的预报能力,可以用于兰州市霾的预报业务。     

一个新的东亚冬季风强度指数及其强弱变化之大气环流场差异

文章提出了一个新的东亚冬季风强度指数,并以此为依据从1948～1999年中挑选出两组强弱冬季风年份,通过合成分析对大气环流场和海表温度场在强弱东亚冬季风年的差异进行了对比分析。结果表明:东亚冬季风强度变化不单纯受局地气候系统影响,而与北半球半球尺度上的大气环流异常紧密相连。相对于弱的情形,强东亚冬季风年份中国大陆中东部及其东部大部分海域在整个对流层盛行偏北风距平、乌拉尔阻高显著加强、欧洲大陆西部维持一个深厚的气旋性异常环流系统、西风带环流偏弱、200hPa层南亚高压偏弱;中国大陆、北极地区、蒙古国大部分地区、欧洲大陆西北部表面温度降低;我国大陆与北太平洋海平面气压差加大;东亚大槽加强。研究还揭示,强东亚冬季风年份对应于北大西洋涛动弱指数,北大西洋和北太平洋海温状况对同期东亚冬季风强弱有着显著的影响     

A Hybrid Dynamical-Statistical Approach for Predicting Winter Precipitation over Eastern China

Correlation analysis revealed that winter precipitation in six regions of eastern China is closely related not only to preceding climate signals but also to synchronous atmospheric general circulation fields.It is therefore necessary to use a method that combines both dynamical and statistical predictions of winter precipitation over eastern China(herein after called the hybrid approach).In this connection,seasonal real-time prediction models for winter precipitation were established for the six regions.The models use both the preceding observations and synchronous numerical predictions through a multivariate linear regression analysis.To improve the prediction accuracy,the systematic error between the original regression model result and the corresponding observation was corrected.Cross-validation analysis and real-time prediction experiments indicate that the prediction models using the hybrid approach can reliably predict the trend,sign,and interannual variation of regionally averaged winter precipitation in the six regions of concern.Averaged over the six target regions,the anomaly correlation coefficient and the rate with the same sign of anomaly between the cross-validation analysis and observation during 1982-2008 are 0.69 and 78%,respectively.This indicates that the hybrid prediction approach adopted in this study is applicable in operational practice.
