北极海冰对长江流域主汛期降雨的影响

针对极地冰雪显著影响中低纬气候的事实,利用1979-2017年长江流域116站降水资料和美国国家冰雪数据中心海冰资料,通过奇异值分解等统计学方法,研究北极海冰对长江流域主汛期降水的影响及可能的机制,结果表明:冬春季节,巴伦支海和鄂霍次克海海冰面积偏多、波佛特海海冰面积偏少时,主汛期长江上中游干流、汉江上游和雅砻江降水偏多;北极群岛、楚科奇海和拉普捷夫海以北海域海冰面积偏多时,主汛期两湖水系降水偏多,嘉陵江上游、汉江上游降水偏少;反之亦然。可能的机制为冬春季关键区海冰变化通过影响湍流热通量引发大气能量波动,这种波动以大气波列形式向东亚传播,影响东亚地区夏季的大气环流和水汽输送,从而间接影响长江流域主汛期降水。应用多元回归法,以关键区海冰面积作为预测因子建立4个流域内主汛期降水趋势预测模型,模型对预报区降水的定量预测有明显的波动,但对预报区总体的降水趋势有较好的预测效果。     

遥感物候学研究进展

植物物候现象是环境条件季节和年际变化最直观、最敏感的生物指示器,其发生时间可以反映陆地生态系统对气候变化的快速响应.近年来,遥感物候观测因其具有多时相、覆盖范围广、空间连续、时间序列较长等特点,已成为揭示植被动态对全球气候变化响应与反馈的重要手段.文章在介绍植物物候遥感监测的数据集及其预处理方法的基础上.从植物物候生长季节的划分、植物物候与气候变化、植物物候与净初级生产量、植物物候与土地覆盖、植物物候与农作物估产等方面系统阐述了近5年来国内外遥感物候学研究的重要进展,并针对目前研究中存在的问题,提出近期遥感物候研究的主要方向:(1)发展一种更具普适性的物候生长季节划分方法;(2)通过开展植物群落的物候观测和选择合适的尺度转换方法,统一地面与遥感的空间信息;(3)定量分析植物物候变化对人类活动的响应机制;(4)选择适宜的数学方法和模型,实现各种不同分辨率遥感数据的融合;(5)通过动态模拟,预测植物物候对未来气候变化的响应.     

植被覆盖、放牧和季节对牧草种类组成和生物量的影响:以埃塞俄比亚南部Yabello牧场为例

Yabello牧场是埃塞俄比亚博拉纳的一个半干旱地区的牧场,目前面临着草场退化的严重挑战。植被覆盖的变化、过度放牧和季节性变化极大地影响了Yabello牧场的牧草组成和生物量。本文评估了植被覆盖、放牧和季节对Yabello牧场的牧草组成和生物量的影响。首先采用1 m×1 m的随机样方进行实验,根据植被覆盖类型和放牧变化选择样点,并对季节影响进行评估。使用SAS统计软件和MicrosoftExcel分析牧草组成、牧草高度和质量数据。本研究总共记录了26种草种,其中Chloris roxburghiana, Chrysopogon aucheri和Chrysopogon aucheri草种均表现出最高的平均单种覆盖高度和生物量产量。因此,建议将这些草种用于研究区域退化草地的恢复。研究结果还表明,植被覆盖类型、放牧和季节变化是决定牧草种类组成、牧草高度和生物量产量的关键因素。最后,研究结论还认为控制灌木丛植被并平衡放牧水平的可持续管理对于该地区的可持续牧草生产和生物多样性保护至关重要。     

LAPS资料在一次鄂东初夏暴雨分析中的应用

利用常规气象资料和武汉暴雨研究所实时业务运行的LAPS资料,从环流背景、影响天气系统、物理量场、干侵入等方面,对2008年初夏发生在湖北东部的一次暴雨天气过程进行了诊断分析。结果表明：这次强降雨是受西风槽与西南涡东移、地面冷锋南下的影响而发生的;暴雨初期鄂东中高层出现水汽辐合,相应地中高层相对湿度与比湿增加;低层首先出现空气质量辐合,随后高层出现空气质量辐散,低层辐合与高层辐散都比强降水发生要早;鄂东暴雨期间低层维持大量云系活动。暴雨期间有随着高度增加而向东倾斜的干侵入前沿活动,这加强了当地上空中、低层对流不稳定层结,并为强降雨发生蓄积了能量;后期由于动力性条件触发,层结转化为中性,对流发展、能量释放而产生强降雨。通过暴雨个例分析发现,LAPS资料能够比较深刻地揭示出该次强降雨发生、发展的机理。     

时空投影法在上海地区梅汛期降水延伸期预报中的应用

本文基于2001—2010年上海市11个基本气象站的逐日降水量和澳大利亚气象局的逐日大气低频振荡(MaddenJulian Oscillation,MJO)指数(包括RMM1和RMM2)资料,选取MJO指数作为预报因子,上海地区梅汛期降水量作为预报对象,建立了基于时空投影法(spatial-temporal projection model,STPM)的上海地区梅汛期降水延伸期预报模型。利用该模型对近6年(2011—2016年)的梅汛期降水进行回报试验,其预报技巧评估结果表明:该模型对未来10～25 d的降水具有较好预报效果,可较准确地预报出梅汛期3/4左右的降水量级和降水发生时段。其中,预报时效为10～20 d的预报技巧较高,而提前21～25 d的预报技巧略有下降。总体而言,基于MJO活动的STPM预报模型在上海地区梅汛期延伸期降水预报中具有较好的参考价值。     

Responses of landscape pattern of China’s two largest freshwater lakes to early dry season after the impoundment of Three-Gorges Dam

The effects of hydrologic cycle change (caused by human activity and global climate change) on ecosystems attract the increasing attention around the world. As a result of impounding of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), climate change and sand mining, the dry season of Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake (China’s two largest freshwater lakes) came early after the TGD impoundment. It was the primary cause of the increasing need for sluice/dam construction to store water in the Lakes and attracted increasing attention. In this paper, we compared the landscape pattern between three hydrologic years with early dry season (EY) and three normal hydrologic years (NY) of each lake by remote sensing technology, to reveal the effect of early dry season on landscape pattern. The results showed that early dry season caused expanding of Phalaris to mudflat zone in Poyang Lake, while caused expanding of Carex to Phalaris zone and expanding of Phalaris to mudflat zone in Dongting Lake. In landscape level, there was no significant difference in landscape grain size, landscape grain shape, habitat connectivity and landscape diversity between EY and NY in the two lakes. While in habitat class level, there were significant changes in area of mudflat and Phalaris and grain size of mudflat in Poyang Lake, and in area of Carex, grain size of Phalaris and grain shape of Carex and Phalaris in Dongting Lake. These changes will impact migrating birds of East Asian and migratory fishes of Yangtze River.     

ON THE PROCESS OF SUMMER MONSOON ONSET OVER EAST ASIA

Using daily observational rainfall data covered 194 stations of China from 1961 to 1995 andNCEP model analyzed pentad precipitation data of global grid point from 1979 to 1997,thedistribution of onset date of rainy season over Asian area from spring to summer is studied in thispaper.The analyzed results show that there exist two stages of rainy season onset over East Asianregion from spring to summer rainy season onset accompanying subtropical monsoon and tropicalmonsoon respectively.The former rain belt is mainly formed by the convergence of cold air and therecurred southwesterly flow from western part of subtropical high and westerly flow from the so-called western trough of subtropical region occurring during winter to spring over South Asia.Thelatter is formed in the process of subtropical monsoon rain belt over inshore regions of South ChinaSea originally coming from south of Changjiang (Yangtze) River Basin advancing with northwardshift of subtropical high after the onset of tropical monsoon over South China Sea.The pre-floodrainy season over South China region then came into mature period and the second peak of rainfallappeared.Meiyu,the rainy season over Changjiang-Huaihe River Basin and North China thenformed consequently.The process of summer tropical monsoon onset over South China Sea in 1998is also discussed in this paper.It indicated that the monsoon during summer tropical monsoononset over South China Sea is the result of the westerly flow over middle part of South China Sea,which is from the new generated cyclone formed in north subtropical high entering into SouthChina Sea,converged with the tropical southwesterly flow recurred by the intensified cross-equatorial flow.
