Modeling historical climate variability and slope stability

This study presents scenario models for historical variations of climate and slope stability. A model for historical annual patterns of temperature and rainfall was established on the basis of seasonal proxies. A process-based, spatio-temporal model for groundwater variations and slope stability was developed using the GIS environment of the software PCRaster. We applied the slope stability model to study the effects of the different climate scenarios on slope stability for three different hillslopes in the area around Bonn (Germany). The findings indicate three climatic phases with different annual temperature and precipitation patterns over the historic period. The modeling results show that a climatic scenario representing unstable conditions of a transition from the more humid Little Ice Age to dryer recent climate produces the highest slope instabilities. The intensity of this impact, however, varies with the sensitivity of the geomorphic system, i.e. local landforms and lithology, and cannot be generally related to the stability of a specific hillslope. More unstable areas are not necessarily more sensitive to climatic changes: the location of permeable layers (prone to groundwater rise) in relation to sensitive layers (lower strength) and higher gradients (higher stress) influences the sensitivity of a site with respect to climate changes. The presented method is capable of modeling landscape sensitivity to climate change with respect to groundwater-controlled landslides.

广西影响区热带气旋强度突变的天气气候特征分析

对1960~2002年在广西影响区活动的热带气旋进行分析统计,发现有如下气候特征:广西影响区活动的热带气旋平均每年5.2个,强度发生突变的有3.1个,其中2%的热带气旋只发生强度突然加强,90%只发生强度突然减弱,而8%的热带气旋既发生强度突然加强,又发生强度突然减弱过程。强度突然减弱发生在5~11月,受海岸和陆地地形影响,其区域主要集中在登陆和登陆后的陆地;强度突然加强发生在6~10月,受海洋环境影响,其区域集中在粤西近海至海南岛东部海域和北部湾海域。

Solar cycle variations in ice acidity at the end of the last ice age: Possible marker of a climatically significant interstellar dust incursion

Hammer et al. (Climatic Change 35 (1997) 1) report the presence of regularly spaced acidity peaks (H⁺,F^-,Cl^-) in the Byrd Station, Antarctica ice core. The event has a duration of about one century and falls at the beginning of the deglacial warming. Volcanism appears to be an unlikely cause since the total acid deposition of this event was about 18 fold greater than the largest known volcanic eruption, and since volcanic eruptions are not known to recur with such regularity. We show that the recurrence period of these peaks averages to 11.5±2.4 years, which approximates the solar cycle period, and suggest that this feature may have an extraterrestrial origin. We propose that this material may mark a period of enhanced interstellar dust and gas influx modulated by the solar cycle. The presence of this material could have made the Sun more active and have been responsible for initiating the warming that ended the last ice age.     

北京地区的台风降水特征研究

采用上海台风研究所1949-2006年台风降水和台风年鉴资料、中国FY-2卫星和日本气象厅TBB资料以及NCEP再分析资料,首先分析58年台风影响北京降水的气候特征,然后对8407号台风Freda和0509号台风Matsa影响下北京两次强度差异显著的降水过程进行对比研究.结果表明:(1)台风影响北京降水年均0.33次,出现在6-9月.降水过程多为大雨以上天气过程,持续时间一般2 d,最长可达5 d.(2)影响台风的活动范围大致为(20°-50°N,109°-128°E).路径主要包括西北行和转向东北行两类,并以前者居多.北京发生暴雨时,台风中心主要出现在江西-安徽-带、黄海或北京附近.(3)Freda对北京的影响发生在台风与西风槽相互作用过程中,而Matsa的影响表现为台风低压环流直接控制北京.两个台风均受冷空气影响而变性,具有明显的非对称结构,两次过程中北京位于台风不同的对流运动发展区域是造成降水强度差异的原因之一.(4)两次台风过程中北京均具有较好的水汽条件和对流不稳定层结,但动力抬升条件差异明显.Freda影响下北京具有较强的水平风垂直切变,偏南暖湿气流上升运动深厚.而Matsa影响下北京盛行偏北气流,中低层下沉运动显著,水汽抬升受到抑制.另外,北京西北高东南低的地形也是其台风降水产生差异的原因之一.在台风东侧,地形作为偏南气流的迎风坡可加强上升运动,而在台风西侧则作为偏北气流的背风坡增强下沉运动.
