Seasonal Variation Features of Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Tracks with Their Predictability

Analysis is done of monthly and seasonal variations as climatic features of the tracks from 1196 tropical cyclones originating in the western North Pacific over the period 1949 to 1980, followed by the investigation of 301 onland cyclone tracks over China mainland in terms of methodology for nonlinear system. Obtained by computing the accumulated distance distribution function of the tracks Cm (l) is the characteristic chaos quantity for the related dynamic systems and then the fractual dimensionality d = 4.86 and Kolmogorov entropy approximation K2 = 0.0164, thereby leading to the predictability time scale = 2.54 days. It is found that the reference path among the onland typhoon No.23 of 1971, or Bess in the international nomenclature. Our results could be of operational use as a kind of reference.     

中国季节积雪资源的初步评价

本文根据2300余个地面气象台站从1951年(或建站)到1980年逐日积雪与降雪观测资料,计算出我国年平均降雪补给量为3451.8 X 10~8m~3,冬季平均积雪贮量为535.6 X 10~8m~3,阐明了季节雪资源的地理分布规律,季节分配特征和长期变化趋势.指出了CO_2增温可能导致我国季节雪资源分布的区域分异倾向进一步加骤,引起北方土壤干旱化.三十年来,雪资源的波动是全球海气异常的结果.多雪冬天与厄尔尼诺南方涛动相同步.雪资源的两个正、负距平时期与我国农田受旱面积的两个明显的低高值时期基本吻合.长期变化趋势准确地反映出了全球气温变化过程,并与气温变化成正相关.     

IAP AGCM 4.1对淮河流域夏季降水的预报技巧评估

基于中国科学院大气物理研究所新一代大气环流模式IAP AGCM 4.1共30 a(1981—2010年)的集合回报试验结果,评估了模式对淮河流域夏季降水的预报技巧。分析结果表明,模式总体上可以较好地再现出淮河流域夏季平均降水南多北少的空间分布特征,其中模式模拟的6月降水量与观测值的空间相关可达0.93。但降水强度与观测相比具有系统性的偏差,且模式模拟的降水年际变率显著偏弱。基于降水距平相关系数的确定性预报技巧分析表明,模式对流域西南部夏季降水的预测技巧较高,达到0.2以上,且模式对6月降水异常的预测能力相对最好,7月次之。针对淮河不同子流域的预报技巧分析表明,IAP AGCM 4. 1对蚌埠、鲁台子、王家坝水文控制站以上集水面积的夏季面雨量异常具有一定的预报技巧,30 a集合回报的时间相关系数分别为0. 11、0. 13、0. 16。基于降水等级的概率预报技巧评估表明,模式对7月淮河流域南部少雨事件具有很好的预报能力,同时对6月流域中部多雨事件的预报技巧也较高。

全球气候模式（GCM）中云的参数化方案具有不确定性,了解云的时、空变化能为参数化方案提供有效参考。利用搭载在属于A-Train卫星序列的CloudSat和CALIPSO上的94 GHz云廓线雷达（CPR）以及正交极化云-气溶胶激光雷达（CALIOP）联合的2级云分类产品,分析了2007年3月-2010年2月8种云类及三相态的云量地理分布、纬向垂直分布的季节变化特征以及云层分布概率。结果发现,卷云的分布体系与深对流云相似,主要集中在西太平洋暖池、全球各季风区及赤道辐合带,分布格局与气压带、风带季节性移动一致。层云与层积云主要分布在中低纬度非季风区以及中高纬度的洋面上。高积云与高层云的分布形成明显的海陆差异,雨层云与积云的分布形成明显的纬度差异。冰云分布与卷云相似,云高随纬度递增而递减;水云分布与层积云相似,平均分布于2 km高度;混合云集中于高纬度地区及赤道辐合带,中纬度地区随纬度变化集中于海拔0-10 km的弧形带。层状云多以多层云形式出现,积状云多以单、双层云的形式出现,层状云的云重叠现象比积状云更显著。积状和层状云的分布特征与积云和层云降水的分布特征基本一致,验证了不同类型降水的卫星观测结果,同时为气候模式的云量诊断方案提供对比验证的数据。      

The influence of the limestone-quarry Čertovy schody (Czech Republic) on the precipitation chemistry and atmospheric deposition

Atmospheric precipitation samples were collected in the Bohemian Karst (30 km SW from Prague, Czech Republic) at six localities in the vicinity of the limestone-quarry Čertovy schody during years 1996–2003. Samples were analyzed for major components (Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, F⁻, Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, HCO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻) and trace metals (Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, Pb, Be, As, Sr, Cd, Al, Cr). Deposition fluxes were calculated from more than 10 000 elemental analyses of samples collected monthly. The fluxes of monitored substances show temporal and spatial variability. The most marked attribute is the strong affection by local emission sources confirmed by the investigation of seasonal variability, temporal trend and correlation analysis.     

Changes in the seasonal amplitude of northern ecosystem productivity under future global warming

Observations have shown a largely enhanced seasonal amplitude of northern atmospheric CO₂ in the past several decades, and this enhancement is attributable to the increased seasonal amplitude of northern net ecosystem productivity (NEP amplitude). In the future, however, the changes in NEP amplitude are not clear, because of the uncertainties in climate change and vegetation dynamics. This study investigated the changes in NEP amplitude north of 45°N under future global warming by using a dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM). The authors conducted two sets of simulations: a present-day simulation (1981–2000) and future simulations (2081–2100) forced by RCP8.5 outputs from CMIP5. The results showed an overall enhanced northern NEP amplitude under the RCP8.5 scenario because of the increased maximum NEP and the decreased minimum NEP. The increases (decreases) in the maximum (minimum) NEP resulted from stronger (weaker) positive changes in gross primary production (GPP) than ecosystem respiration (ER). Changes in GPP and ER are both dominantly driven by surface air temperature and vegetation dynamics. This work highlights the key role of vegetation dynamics in regulating the northern terrestrial carbon cycle and the importance of including a DGVM in Earth system models.摘要观测显示过去几十年北半球大气二氧化碳季节幅度大幅增加, 这主要是由北半球陆地净生态系统生产力季节幅度的增加所致. 但是, 因为气候变化和植被动态的不确定性, 未来陆地净生态系统生产力季节幅度的变化还很不清楚. 本工作利用全球植被动力学模式研究了全球变暖背景下北纬45°以北陆地净生态系统生产力季节幅度的变化. 作者做了两大类试验: 当代试验 (1981−2000) 和CMIP5 RCP8.5 变暖情景驱动的未来试验 (2081−2100) . 结果显示, 在RCP8.5变暖情景下北半球中高纬陆地净生态系统生产力季节幅度整体增加, 这是因为陆地净生态系统生产力的月最大值增加且月最小值减小. 最大 (最小) 陆地净生态系统生产力的增加 (减小) 是由于总初级生产力的增加强 (弱) 于生态系统总呼吸. 总初级生产力和生态系统总呼吸的变化都主要受地表气温和植被动态的驱动. 本工作强调了植被动态对北半球中高纬陆地生态系统碳循环的关键调制作用, 也强调了在地球系统模式中包含全球植被动力学模式的重要性.     

由冬至夏北半球副热带地区大气热源的季节转换特征及其可能机制

本文基于多套卫星观测数据和ERA-Interim再分析资料,分析了由冬至夏北半球副热带地区大气热源的季节转换特征及其原因。结果表明,北半球副热带大陆东部以对流凝结潜热为主的夏季型大气热源首先于4月初在我国南方地区建立,该过程与江南雨季的形成发展联系紧密。2~3月,江南地区的大气热源以感热加热为主,这时降水以大尺度层云降水为主;而在4月初之后,江南地区降水以对流性降水为主,相应地对流凝结潜热成为大气热源的主要成分。动力和热力诊断分析说明,青藏高原南部热力状况的季节变化是导致4月初江南地区降水性质和大气热源首先发生季节转换的重要原因。2~3月,随着太阳辐射逐渐增强,青藏高原地面感热随之加强,此时对流层中部的纬向西风令江南地区的对流层中部暖平流加强,引起上升运动并加强局地大尺度层云降水,令土壤湿度加大,为随后局地对流性降水的快速发展提供了有利条件。之后,青藏高原地面感热在4~5月期间继续加强,这时高原南坡的"感热气泵"令其四周的低空水汽向北辐合,从而加强了江南地区的低空南风,使大量水汽自南海-西太平洋向北输送,令江南地区的对流性降水快速发展,地面感热迅速减小,对流凝结潜热进而成为江南地区大气热源的主要成分。     

Estimating inter-annual variability in winter wheat sowing dates from satellite time series in Camargue,France

Crop simulation models are commonly used to forecast the performance of cropping systems under different hypotheses of change. Their use on a regional scale is generally constrained, however, by a lack of information on the spatial and temporal variability of environment-related input variables (e.g., soil) and agricultural practices (e.g., sowing dates) that influence crop yields. Satellite remote sensing data can shed light on such variability by providing timely information on crop dynamics and conditions over large areas. This paper proposes a method for analyzing time series of MODIS satellite data in order to estimate the inter-annual variability of winter wheat sowing dates. A rule-based method was developed to automatically identify a reliable sample of winter wheat field time series, and to infer the corresponding sowing dates. The method was designed for a case study in the Camargue region (France), where winter wheat is characterized by vernalization, as in other temperate regions. The detection criteria were chosen on the grounds of agronomic expertise and by analyzing high-confidence time-series vegetation index profiles for winter wheat. This automatic method identified the target crop on more than 56% (four-year average) of the cultivated areas, with low commission errors (11%). It also captured the seasonal variability in sowing dates with errors of ±8 and ±16 days in 46% and 66% of cases, respectively. Extending the analysis to the years 2002–2012 showed that sowing in the Camargue was usually done on or around November 1st (±4 days). Comparing inter-annual sowing date variability with the main local agro-climatic drivers showed that the type of preceding crop and the weather conditions during the summer season before the wheat sowing had a prominent role in influencing winter wheat sowing dates.     

青藏高原动力和热力作用对季节转换期全球大气环流影响的数值研究

利用ＣＣＭ１（Ｒ１５Ｌ７）－ＬＮＷＰ模式，以１９９６年３月１７日的国家气象中心客观分析资料为初始场，分别采用有、无青藏高原两种方案，数值研究了青藏高原对５月份全球大气环流季节转换的影响。试验结果表明：北半球初夏，青藏高原区域用同纬度地区的一个中空热源，其作用可以在２００ｈＰａ层形成一个２２４Ｋ的暖中心，使大气增暖７Ｋ以上。高原地形的动力和非绝热作用使得南极大陆２００ｈＰａ层大部分地区降温６Ｋ左右，最大负中心可达－８．２８Ｋ，这对于南半球由夏至冬过程中，环极涡旋的强度加深和范围扩大是有利的。高原地形作用对北半球大气环流平均槽脊的形成和维持有十分重要的影响，它加强了高原所在纬度带北侧（减弱了南侧）由南向北的正温度梯度，同时也增强了３０°Ｓ附近由北向南的正温度梯度，从而有利于季节转换过程中全球中纬西风带的整体北移和初夏亚洲季风环流的形成。同时高原地形作用在赤道及低纬地区形成的位势增加区，有利于南半球热带高压脊的北退和北半球副高增强北移。此外，它还有利于南半球极地东风带的增强和５００ｈＰａ层环极低压带的强度减弱，同时增加了罗斯海附近的极涡强度，对赤道的索马里急流的形成也有重要影响
