基于多变量M-K检验的北江流域降水趋势分析

降水是北江流域水资源的主要来源,因此研究北江流域降水趋势有利于水资源合理规划和实现可持续利用,但目前的趋势分析主要以单变量趋势检验为主,对多变量的趋势分析研究较少。基于此,分别采用单变量和多变量M-K检验趋势分析方法,针对北江流域6个代表性气象站点1959~2009年逐日降水资料,以各站的年降水量、年降水天数和年最大降水量三个变量为主要研究对象,分析得到北江流域的降水变化整体趋势。结果表明,仁化站、韶关站、乐昌站、连州站和广宁站的变化趋势不显著,清远站的变化趋势显著。在整体趋势分析方面,多变量趋势分析方法可同时考虑降水的多重属性特点,从而可更好分析流域降水整体趋势。     

降水变化对中国南方强酸雨分布的影响

Acid rain has been recognized as a serious environmental problem in China since the 1980s, but little is known about the effects of the climatic change in regional precipitation on the temporal and spatial variability of severe acid rain. We present the effects of the re-gional precipitation trend change on the area and intensity of severe acid rain in southern China, and the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of SO2 and NO2 concentrations are analyzed on the basis of SO2 and NO2 column concentration data. The results are as follows. (1) The emission levels of SO2 and NO2 have reached or passed the precipitation scavenging capacity in parts of southern China owing to the emission totals of SO2 and NO2 increasing from 1993 to 2004. (2) Notable changes in the proportion of cities subject to severe acid rain occurred mainly in the south of the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River during 1993-2004. With an abrupt change in 1999, the severe acid rain regions were mainly located in central and western China during 1993-1999 and moved obviously eastward to the south of the lower-middle reaches of the Yangtze River with the proportion of cities subject to se-vere acid rain increasing significantly from 2000 to 2004. (3) The spatial distribution and variation in the seasonal precipitation change rate of more than 10 mm/10a are similar to those of severe acid rain in southern China. An abrupt change in 1999 is seen for winter and summer precipitation, the same as for the proportion of cities subject to severe acid rain in southern China. The significant increase in summer storm precipitation from 1991 to 1999 mitigated the annual precipitation acidity in the south of the Yangtze River and reduced the area of severe acid rainfall. On the other hand, the decrease in storm rainfall in summer ex-panded the area of severe acid rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River in 2000-2006. Therefore, the change in seasonal precipitation is an important factor in the severe acid rain regions moving eastward and expanding in southern China.     

黄河流域近50年降水变化趋势分析

本文简要分析了黄河流域降水空间分布规律,用非参数检验方法（Mann-Kendall法）对流域内77个气象站近50年的降水资料进行了年月降水序列趋势检验,并用线性回归方法与其进行了比较。结果表明,对于年降水序列,有65个气象台站呈现下降趋势,典型月（包括1月、4月、7月、10月）中4月、7月和10月对年降水下降趋势贡献较大,但其趋势空间分布情况存在差异。对于所有月降水序列,全年4⁵月以及7¹2月降水呈现下降趋势。而其趋势空间分布,黄河上游北纬35°以南地区除7⁹月外其余月份降水呈现增长趋势。渭河上游及呼和浩特地区降水趋势随月份时有变化,流域内其他地区降水则呈减少趋势。对比两种方法,Mann-Kendall方法在冬季（12月至次年2月）的检验结果中无变化趋势气象站数明显多于线性回归方法,且后者估计出的趋势变化幅度略大于Mann-Kendall方法所估计出的结果。     

Trends in extreme rainfall in the state of New South Wales,Australia

The trends in annual maximum rainfall (AMR) intensity data in New South Wales, Australia, were examined. Data from 60 stations were used covering three study periods, 1955–2010, 1965–2010 and 1978–2010. Mann-Kendall (MK) and Spearman’s rho (SR) tests were applied to assess trends at local stations. Pre-whitening (PW), trend-free pre-whitening (TFPW) and the variance correction (VC) tests were used to assess the effects of serial correlation on trend results. For regional trend analysis, the regional MK test was employed. The impacts of climatic variability modes on the observed trends in AMR intensity and seasonal maximum rainfall data were investigated. It was found that positive trends were more frequent than the negative ones. The PW, TFPW and VC tests resulted in a slight reduction in the count of stations exhibiting significant positive trends. The number of stations exhibiting significant trends decreased when the impact of climate variability modes was considered.     

Hydrological responses to climate shifts for a minimally disturbed mountainous watershed in northwestern China

Much attention has been focused on investigating the effects of precipitation and temperature changes on runoff; however, the influence of wind speed, relative humidity and total solar radiation on hydrological components needs to be studied further. Hydrological responses to climate variations in a minimally disturbed mountainous watershed in the period 1971–2012 are identified and evaluated by statistical analysis and hydrological simulation. The results indicate that the impact of climate component changes on the hydrological process cannot be discounted. The temperature and relative humidity exhibit significant upward trends, while the wind speed exhibits a clear downward trend. The potential and actual evapotranspiration dramatically increased, but the observed pan evaporation substantially decreased. The surface water, soil water, baseflow and water yield are positively correlated with precipitation and relative humidity but negatively correlated with the temperature, wind speed and solar radiation.     

Characteristics of intense rainfall over Gujarat State (India) based on percentile criteria

The study focuses on the spatial and temporal variations of intense/extreme rainfall events over Gujarat State (India) during the period 1970–2014. Average monsoon rainfall for the state shows a significant increasing trend, with an increase of 48 mm/decade. Some of the stations in the Saurashtra region show a statistically significant increasing trend but none of the stations in the state show a decreasing trend. The increasing trend in monsoon rainfall is very significant for the past three decades, with an increase of 167 mm/decade. Instead of fixed absolute threshold values, relative threshold values of rainfall corresponding to the 95th, 98th, 99th and 99.5th percentiles for each station have been proposed to represent heavy, very heavy, intense and extreme rainfall, which varied between 70–120, 105–160, 130–210 and 165–280 mm, respectively. Significant increasing trends are observed for the frequency of heavy and very heavy rainfall events over the state.     

Mediterranean Sea level trends from long-period tide gauge time series

The main purpose of this study is to highlight, on the basis of statistical tests, the significant long-term changes of the Mediterranean Sea level, through the analysis of historical tide gauge records. In this framework, 14 tide gauge monthly series selected from the Permanent Service of the Mean Sea Level （PSMSL） database were used. The search for the presence or not of trends within these series, that have a temporal coverage from 59 to 142 years, was carried out using the Mann-Kendall test and the Sen''s slope estimator. The obtained results show that the Split Rt Marjana series are the only ones which does not exhibit a significant trend. The other 13 series show significant increasing trends. This result seems sufficient to suppose the presence, in the past century, of a new climatic phase on the scale of the Mediterranean basin, where the rising sea level is one of the consequences.     

不同趋势法的宁夏长时序植被变化分析

宁夏地处黄土高原,植被变化趋势直接影响其生态保护。本文应用2005—2015年的MODIS NDVI月合成产品,并采用最大合成法得到年NDVI数据,分别利用一元线性回归法和Sen+Mann-Kendall法对宁夏11年间植被变化趋势和空间差异进行研究分析。结果表明,在月际变化上,月NDVI均值呈高斯分布,7—9月是植被长势最好的阶段;在年际变化上,2005—2007年NDVI值明显增长,2008—2012年NDVI值呈稳定性增长,2013—2015年NDVI值有下降趋势;在变化趋势上,一元线性回归法与Sen+Mann-Kendall法得到的植被变化趋势基本一致,均表现为北部植被整体改善,但局部城区植被退化较为严重;中部地区轻微改善,局部存在明显改善;南部植被有明显改善且植被改善面积较大;通过差异性分析二者差异性仅为22.95%,且Sen+Mann-Kendall法能更好地监测轻微变化区域,变化趋势更加准确。     

基于遥感的植被长时序趋势特征研究进展及评价

基于遥感的植被长时序变化特征是植被生态学研究的核心领域, 也是全球变化研究的重点方向。AVHRR、SPOT VGT和MODIS是当前研究植被长时序趋势变化的主要数据源。海量数据不断积累的同时, 植被长时序趋势特征研究方法却缺乏对比评价和分析。当前常用的方法有代数运算法、傅里叶变换、主成分分析、小波变换法、回归分析法和相关系数分析法等。在对各种方法评述和分析的基础上, 重点讨论和对比了主流方法中的回归分析法和相关系数分析与新兴方法Sen＋Mann-Kendall法。结果表明, Sen＋Mann-Kendall能克服主流方法的不足, 不需要数据服从某一特定分布, 并且对数据的误差具有较强的抵抗能力。     

黄河流域平均气温变化趋势分析

采用线性倾向估计和非参数统计检验（Mann-Kendall）方法计算黄河流域78个气象站点12个月及年平均气温多年来的长期变化趋势,并在计算结果基本一致的前提下,重点对Mann-Kendall法的计算结果进行了分析.结果表明,黄河流域平均气温总体呈现上升趋势,这种趋势主要归因于1、2、12月气温的升高;气温上升趋势以12月份表现最明显,8月份表现最平缓;全流域年平均气温只有4个站点表现出下降趋势,不同月份变化趋势的地区分布亦有差异,并根据这些差异将流域进行了分区.
