利用LANDSAT/TM热红外通道反演地表温度的三种方法比较

利用北京2004年1月28日、4月1日、4月17日、5月19日和7月6日过境的5景LANDSAT／TM影像和实测探空数据，分别运用大气辐射传输模型、覃志豪（2001）单窗算法和Jimenez-Mufioz＆Sobrino（2003）单窗算法反演北京城区地表温度。通过对反演结果进行对比分析，结果表明，覃志豪（2001）单窗算法与基于探空数据的辐射传输方程法结果具有较好的一致性。提出在没有实时探空数据情况。对只有一个热红外通道的LANDSAT／TM数据源采用覃志豪（2001）单窗算法反演地表温度，精度是可以接受的。

主要介绍了几个国际上已经实施的GPS掩星计划（GPS／MET，Φrsted,Sunsat,SAC-C,CHAMP)和在研的（COSMIC，ACE）低轨卫星计划的现状及取得的进展。通过总结可知，下一代GPS掩星接收器应具有体积小、质量轻（几百克）、低功耗的特点；能提供实时的卫星物理状态参数；飞行器上的自主计算和控制；星上数据通信和命令解释；所有跟踪数据应符合厘米级精密定轨的要求；能提供掩星和海洋反射实验的测量。     

电感应力灵敏度在实测中的研究

应力场的观测是预报地震较直接的途径之一,本实验利用异孔深井抽水的加(减)载作应力观测的人工力源,在大量实测数据基础上进行力学分析,得出电感应力观测在满足规范要求时能测到地应力场的变化,但室内标定的应力灵敏度不等于实测灵敏度。用室内灵敏度计算应力值必有明显误差。本结果对电惑应力观测科学具有重要的实际意义。     

Relationship between North Pacific SST anomalies and the atmospheric circulation anomalies in January 2008

Based on the NCEP (National Centers for Environmental Prediction) data, the relationship between the Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTAs) in the North Pacific and the atmospheric circulation anomalies in January 2008 is analyzed in this study. The SSTA mode most correlated with the Geopotential Height anomalies (GHAs) in January 2008 in the North Pacific exhibited a basin-wide horseshoe pattern with a warm center in November 2007. This persistent SSTA pattern would induce positive GHAs in the Aleutian Low area and East Asia and the northward extension of the West Pacific Subtropical High in January 2008 by maximum diabatic heating in the atmosphere over the Kuroshio Oyashio Extension (KOE) area, leading to the occurence of the circumpolar trough-ridge wave train anomaly in January 2008.     

Climate-Induced Variability of Sea Level in Stockholm： Influence of Air Temperature and Atmospheric Circulation

This study is focused on climate-induced variation of sea level in Stockholm during 1873-1995. After the effect of the land uplift, is removed, the residual is characterized and related to large-scale temperature and atmospheric circulation. The residual shows an overall upward trend, although this result depends on the uplift rate used. However, the seasonal distribution of the trend is uneven. There are even two months （June and August） that show a negative trend. The significant trend in August may be linked to fresh water input that is controlled by precipitation. The influence of the atmospheric conditions on the sea level is mainly manifested through zonal winds, vorticity and temperature. While the wind is important in the period January-May, the vorticity plays a main role during June and December. A successful linear multiple-regression model linking the climatic variables （zonal winds, vorticity and mean air temperature during the previous two months） and the sea level is established for each month. An independent verification of the model shows that it has considerable skill in simulating the variability.     

边界层参数化方案对暴雨数值模拟的影响

大气边界层(Atmospheric Boundary Layer,ABL)是自由大气和地球表面(陆地和海洋)的连接层,它对于降水的发生发展有重要影响。ABL高度是ABL的一个重要参数,主要应用于大气数值天气(或气候)模式中的ABL过程的参数化,获取准确的ABL高度数据对于提高数值天气预报模式、空气污染物预报模式等的预报精度具有重要作用。概述了利用常规探空资料、卫星遥感资料、气溶胶后向散射资料、全球导航卫星系统GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)掩星探测资料等数据估计ABL高度的主要方法及进展情况,提出在同时具有多种观测资料时如何处理ABL高度的三个基本原则,并以目前广泛应用的数值天气预报模式WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting)为例重点介绍ABL高度数据在数值天气(或气候)预报模式中的应用,对相关的发展情况进行了总结展望。

     

世界第一峡谷——雅鲁藏布大峡谷

一九九四年．中国科学院地理学家杨逸畴和他的同事、大气物理学家高登义、植物学家李渤生向世界宣布：控过他们的科学论证,位于西藏东南部的雅鲁藏市大峡谷是比美国的科罗拉多大峡谷要长,比秘鲁的科尔卡大峡谷要深的世界第一大峡谷。这被誉为二十世纪末人类的重大地理发现。使地理教科书的有关段落需要改写。一九九八年,杨逸畴卫作为主要负责人之一,率队进行了人类第一次徒步穿越世界第一大峡谷的科学考察。前不久,我去采访杨逸畴,六十三岁的他一生中八次进入环境险恶的大峡谷进行科学探险,还走过九十多公里的无人区．与野兽、吸血蚂蟥、泥石流、高山缺氧打过交道,几乎次次有生死之忧。

Contribution of a pathway through the Arctic Ocean to the re cent reduction in the ice cover

The sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean has been reducing and hit the low record in the summer of 2007. The anomaly was extremely large in the Pacific sector. The sea level height in the Bering Sea vs. the Greenland Sea has been analyzed and compared with the current meter data through the Bering Strait. A recent peak existed as a consequence of atmospheric circulation and is considered to contribute to inflow of the Pacific Water into the Arctic Basin. The timing of the Pacific Water inflow matched with the sea ice reduction in the Pacific sector and suggests a significant increase in heat flux. This component should be included in the model prediction for answering the question when the Arctic sea ice becomes a seasonal ice cover.
