中国区域探空资料与再分析资料风速场的对比分析

利用中国高空探空资料和NCEP/NCAR、ERA以及MERRA三种再分析资料,讨论了再分析资料风速场在中国区域的适用性问题。结果表明:在中国区域的年平均场上,高空风速在我国对流层高层和中层均存在长期减弱的趋势,在我国东部和南部地区的对流层低层也存在减弱趋势,ERA-interim资料和MERRA资料适用性相对较好。再分析资料风速在多年年平均场上普遍小于探空风速。在对流层高层,1980年代至1990年代ERA-interim资料适用性好,而21世纪以后,NCEP/NCAR的适用性较好;在对流层中层和低层,NCEP/NCAR资料适用性较好。在中国区域的季节平均场上,高空风速在冬季的对流层高层和中层中普遍存在增加的趋势,而在春季、夏季和秋季的对流层高层和中层存在减小的趋势。探空资料与再分析资料在冬季偏差最小,在夏季偏差最大。在对流层中层和低层,NCEP/NCAR资料和MERRA资料在冬季的可信度相对较好,MERRA资料在夏季的可信度相对较好;在对流层高层和平流层低层,ERA-interim资料和MERRA资料在四季中的可信度都相对较好。     

Spatio-temporal evaluation of global gridded precipitation datasets across Iran

ABSTRACT

In this work, the accuracy of four gridded precipitation datasets – Climatic Research Unit (CRU), Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC), PERSIANN-Climate Data Record (PCDR) and University of Delaware (UDEL) – is evaluated across Iran to find an alternative source of precipitation data. Monthly, seasonal and annual precipitation data from 85 synoptic stations for the period 1984–2013 were used as the basis for the evaluations. Our results indicate that all datasets underestimate and overestimate precipitation in stations with annual precipitation greater than 600 and less than 100 mm, respectively. However, all datasets correctly recognize regimes of precipitation, but with a bias in amount of precipitation. Our spatio-temporal assessments show that GPCC is the most suitable dataset to be used over Iran. Both UDEL and CRU can be considered as the second and third most suitable datasets, while PCDR showed the weakest performance among the studied datasets.     

Clustering based on eigenspace transformation – CBEST for efficient classification

Large remote sensing datasets, that either cover large areas or have high spatial resolution, are often a burden of information mining for scientific studies. Here, we present an approach that conducts clustering after gray-level vector reduction. In this manner, the speed of clustering can be considerably improved. The approach features applying eigenspace transformation to the dataset followed by compressing the data in the eigenspace and storing them in coded matrices and vectors. The clustering process takes the advantage of the reduced size of the compressed data and thus reduces computational complexity. We name this approach Clustering Based on Eigen-space Transformation (CBEST). In our experiment with a subscene of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, CBEST was found to be able to improve speed considerably over conventional K-means as the volume of data to be clustered increases. We assessed information loss and several other factors. In addition, we evaluated the effectiveness of CBEST in mapping land cover/use with the same image that was acquired over Guangzhou City, South China and an AVIRIS hyperspectral image over Cappocanoe County, Indiana. Using reference data we assessed the accuracies for both CBEST and conventional K-means and we found that the CBEST was not negatively affected by information loss during compression in practice. We discussed potential applications of the fast clustering algorithm in dealing with large datasets in remote sensing studies.

基于ERA40资料的边界层厚度气候特征分析

为了解边界层厚度的大尺度分布及其气候循环特征,基于逐日ERA 40 再分析边界层厚度资料,采用统计学方法计算边界层厚度分4个时次的季节循环、年较差等气候特征场,对全球边界层厚度分布及其季节演变特征进行了研究。结果表明：全球较厚的边界层分布与大地形、沙漠等下垫面的分布有直接联系;陆地强边界层分布存在“08时”现象,即陆地较厚边界层中心分布在当地时间08时经线附近;在大洋上南北纬30°~40°两条纬度带内边界层厚度的月尺度内变率较大,与大气强斜压性的天气系统活跃区一致;月平均日较差的年循环特征存在着季节性南北进退的现象。研究结果对于全面认识和科学利用ERA 40逐日边界层再分析资料有一定帮助。

Fast sequential indicator simulation: Beyond reproduction of indicator variograms

Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS), although widely used, is relatively slow, and requires tedious inference of a large number of indicator variogram models. SIS is designed only to estimate class proportions and to reproduce indicator variogram models; the statistics of the continuous attribute being simulated,z-histogram and variogram, may be poorly reproduced. Several implementations of the SIS algorithm are proposed resulting in better reproduction of statistics yet with better CPU performance.     

WRF模式同化系统对不同观测数据集的应用对比研究

同化不同观测资料数据集得到的模拟结果大有差异,而实际应用中资料的获取及同化前的预处理也是一项耗时的工作,因此针对不同的研究目的,采用适当的观测资料进行同化是必要的。采用WRF模式同化系统,同化收集到的2种观测资料数据集(分别为全国观测资料数据集和NCEP ADP全球地面观测数据集),并将2种同化试验与未同化模拟结果对比得出:同化不同观测资料数据集对模拟效果影响较大,尤其对垂直方向上的模拟效果影响要大于对地面的;同化国家站数据集在垂直方向上优势明显,但在低空的模拟效果不如加入更多观测数据类型的NCEP ADP数据集的模拟效果;对受局地影响较大的要素,同化对模拟的改善作用显著;相比NCEP ADP数据集,WRF模式在同化国家站数据集后需要更长的积分时间来与之协调,因此选择合适的模式积分开始时间与同化资料的有效时间是必要的。     

Dataset of Comparative Observations for Land Surface Processes over the Semi-Arid Alpine Grassland against Alpine Lakes in the Source Region of the Yellow River

Thousands of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau(TP) play a critical role in the regional water cycle, weather, and climate. In recent years, the areas of TP lakes underwent drastic changes and have become a research hotspot. However, the characteristics of the lake-atmosphere interaction over the high-altitude lakes are still unclear, which inhibits model development and the accurate simulation of lake climate effects. The source region of the Yellow River(SRYR) has the largest outflow lake and freshw...
