CMIP6火山强迫的气候响应模拟比较计划（VolMIP）概况与评述

为揭示造成火山强迫气候响应模拟不确定性的原因,第六次国际耦合模式比较计划（CMIP6）设立了火山强迫的气候响应模拟比较计划（VolMIP)。该计划由基于历史火山爆发的理想火山扰动试验组成,包括三组主要的试验：第一组关注短期（季节至年际）大气动力响应;第二组关注海气耦合系统的长期（年际至年代际）响应;第三组关注气候系统对火山群的响应。VolMIP旨在通过给定相同的辐射强迫并进行多成员集合模拟,揭示模式对外强迫响应的不确定性,通过设定不同的背景气候态,阐明内部变率和外强迫对气候响应的相对贡献。     

基于国际大气化学-气候模式比较计划模式数据评估中国沙尘气溶胶直接辐射强迫

目前气候模式对沙尘气溶胶直接辐射强迫模拟仍有很大不确定性,多模式对比有助于定量评估不确定范围。国际大气化学—气候模式比较计划（Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project,ACCMIP）旨在评估当前模式对短寿命大气成分辐射强迫和气候效应的模拟能力。基于7个ACCMIP模式模拟的中国地区沙尘气溶胶浓度,我们评估了中国区域沙尘气溶胶直接辐射强迫和不确定性范围。结果显示,中国区域沙尘气溶胶年排放总量为215±163 Tg a-1,区域年均地表浓度为41±27 μg m-3,柱浓度为9±4 kg m-2,光学厚度为0.09±0.05。中国区域年均沙尘气溶胶产生的大气顶短波、长波和总辐射强迫分别为-1.3±0.8 W m-2、0.7±0.4 W m-2和-0.5±0.7 W m-2;地表短波、长波和总的辐射强迫值为-1.5±1.0 W m-2、1.8±0.9 W m-2和0.2±0.2 W m-2。沙尘气溶胶长波辐射强迫对沙尘浓度的垂直分布敏感。高层沙尘气溶胶浓度越大,其在大气顶产生更强的正值长波辐射强迫。然而,沙尘气溶胶短波辐射强迫主要受整层沙尘柱浓度控制,对沙尘浓度的垂直分布较不敏感。本文结果可为中国沙尘气溶胶的气候模拟提供参考。     

CMIP6高分辨率模式比较计划（HighResMIP）概况与评述

高分辨率模式比较计划(HighResMIP)是第六次国际耦合模式比较计划(CMIP6)的新增计划,旨在研究水平分辨率提高后对气候模式模拟性能的改进,并借助多模式集合的方法降低模拟的不确定性。中国有5个模式团队在CMIP6 GitHub上注册参加HighResMIP。文中对HighResMIP的科学背景、试验设计和参与模式等方面进行了简要介绍,为需要了解该计划的科研人员提供参考。     

CMIP6二氧化碳移除模式比较计划（CDRMIP）概况与评述

地球工程是指通过人工方法在大规模尺度上干预气候系统,使地球气候降温的一种手段。CO₂移除是地球工程的主要途径之一。文中概述了CO₂移除地球工程的科学背景、各种CO₂移除方法的利弊、大尺度应用CO₂移除方法可能产生的气候效应和风险,以及CO₂移除方案在未来气候情景研究中的现状。在第六次国际耦合模式比较计划（CMIP6）框架下开展的CO₂移除模式比较计划（CDRMIP),为深入研究CO₂移除地球工程减缓气候变化的效能和气候系统对其的响应提供了统一试验方案和平台。CDRMIP的开展,对地球工程和气候变化研究具有重要的促进作用。     

A test of the isochron burial dating method on fluvial gravels within the Pulu volcanic sequence,West Kunlun Mountains,China

Isochron burial dating with cosmogenic nuclides is used in Quaternary geochronology for dating sediments in caves, terraces, basins, and other depositional environments. However, the method has seldom been rigorously tested against an independent chronology. Here, we report a direct comparison of isochron burial dating with K-Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar bracketing ages on volcanic flows that sandwich a fluvial gravel layer in the Xinjiang province of northwestern China. The ages agree to within analytical uncertainty, validating the assumptions and physical constants used in the isochron burial dating method.     

CMPI5多模式对南海上层海洋热含量的模拟比较

Seventeen models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5（CMIP5） activity are compared on their historical simulation of the South China Sea（SCS） ocean heat content（OHC） in the upper 300 m. Ishii＇s temperature data, based on the World Ocean Database 2005（WOD05） and World Ocean Atlas 2005（WOA05）, is used to assess the model performance by comparing the spatial patterns of seasonal OHC anomaly（OHCa） climatology, OHC climatology, monthly OHCa climatology, and interannual variability of OHCa. The spatial patterns in Ishii＇s data set show that the seasonal SCS OHCa climatology, both in winter and summer, is strongly affected by the wind stress and the current circulations in the SCS and its neighboring areas. However, the CMIP5 models present rather different spatial patterns and only a few models properly capture the dominant features in Ishii＇s pattern. Among them, GFDL-ESM2 G is of the best performance. The SCS OHC climatology in the upper 300 m varies greatly in different models. Most of them are much greater than those calculated from Ishii＇s data. However, the monthly OHCa climatology in each of the 17 CMIP5 models yields similar variation and magnitude as that in Ishii＇s. As for the interannual variability, the standard deviations of the OHCa time series in most of the models are somewhat larger than those in Ishii＇s. The correlation between the interannual time series of Ishii＇s OHCa and that from each of the 17 models is not satisfactory. Among them, BCC-CSM1.1 has the highest correlation to Ishii＇s, with a coefficient of about 0.6.     

CMIP6云反馈模式比较计划（CFMIP）概况与评述

世界气候研究计划(WCRP)于2003年支持开展云反馈模式比较计划（CFMIP)。目前已经开展到第三阶段（CFMIP-3)。相比前两阶段的试验,CFMIP-3试验设计更加丰富、具体,除增加CMIP6 DECK和Historical试验的观测模拟器（COSP）输出外,还围绕着回答7个云反馈相关的科学问题,设计了Tier-1（必做）和Tier-2（可选）两类试验。CFMIP将气候模拟、观测研究和过程模拟等几个研究方向更紧密地联系在一起,并为理解和模拟云及其辐射反馈的气候贡献提供更深刻的认识和分析手段。
