地基GPS水汽总量在人工增雨中的应用

利用成都市地基GPS综合应用网的观测数据,反演出大气水汽总量,并结合多普勒天气雷达探测的垂直积分液态水含量(VIL),分析了这两种新型大气水汽探测资料在人工影响天气作业中的变化特征,初步得出了GPS大气水汽总量(GPS PWV)与人影作业前后降雨量的关系。研究表明:GPS PWV与人工增雨过程有较好的对应关系,人影作业后1～3h伴随小时雨量的增大GPS PWV有下降,体现了催化剂将空中部分冰面过饱和水汽凝华核化转化为降水过程。GPS反演的水汽资料结合新一代多普勒天气雷达探测的液态水资料在指导人工影响天气作业和短临天气预报方面具有良好的应用前景。     

Long-term hydrological,biogeochemical, and climatological data from Walker Branch Watershed,East Tennessee,USA

In 1967, the original Walker Branch Watershed (WBW) project was established to study elemental cycling and mass balances in a relatively unimpacted watershed. Over the next 50+ years, findings from additional experimental studies and long-term observations on WBW advanced understanding of catchment hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology and established WBW as a seminal site for catchment science. The 97.5-ha WBW is located in East Tennessee, USA, on the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation. Vegetation on the watershed is characteristic of an eastern deciduous, second-growth forest. The watershed is divided into two subcatchments: the West Fork (38.4 ha) and the East Fork (59.1 ha). Headwater streams draining these subcatchments are fed by multiple springs, and thus flow is perennial. Stream water is high in base cations due to weathering of dolomite bedrock and nutrient concentrations are low. Long-term observations of climate, hydrology, and biogeochemistry include daily (1969–2014) and 15-min (1994–2014) stream discharge and annual runoff (1969–2014); hourly, daily, and annual rainfall (1969–2012); daily climate and soil temperature (1993–2010); and weekly stream water chemistry (1989–2013). These long-term datasets are publicly available on the WBW website (https://walkerbranch.ornl.gov/long-term-data/ ). While collection of these data has ceased, related long-term measurements continue through the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), where WBW is the core terrestrial and aquatic site in the Appalachian and Cumberland Plateau region (NEON's Domain 7) of the United States. These long-term datasets have been and will continue to be important in evaluating the influence of climatic and environmental drivers on catchment processes.

青南高原大气降水变化规律及其对黄河上游地区水资源的影响

利用1959～1997年黄河上游地区降水、流量资料,用EOF、REOF等数理统计方法,分析了黄河上游地区降水与流量之间的关系,并对黄河上游地区的水资源进行了估算。分析得出：龙羊峡年入库流量的丰枯主要与黄河上游地区的年降水量有关,春季流量的丰枯主要与上一年秋季的流量、春季的降水量有关,夏、秋季流量的丰枯主要与同期的降水量有关。     

Characteristics of canopy interception loss in Moso bamboo forests of Japan

In recent years, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests have rapidly expanded in Japan by replacing surrounding coniferous and/or broadleaved forests. To evaluate the change in water yield from forested areas because of this replacement, it is necessary to examine evapotranspiration for Moso bamboo forests. However, canopy interception loss, one of the major components of evapotranspiration in forested areas, has been observed in only two Moso bamboo forests in Japan with relatively high stem density (~7000 stems/ha). There are, in fact, many Moso bamboo forests with much lower stem density. Thus, we made precipitation (Pr), throughfall (Tf) and stemflow (Sf) observations for 1 year in a Moso bamboo forest with stem density of 3611 stems/ha and quantified canopy interception loss (Ic). Pr and Ic for the experimental period were 1636 and 166 mm, respectively, and Ic/Pr was 10%. The value was approximately the same as values for the other two Moso bamboo forests and lower than values for coniferous and broadleaved forests. On the other hand, Tf/Pr and Sf/Pr for our forest (86% and 4%, respectively) were approximately 10% of Pr larger and smaller than values for the other two Moso bamboo forests. These results suggest that the difference in stem density greatly affects precipitation partitioning (i.e. Tf/Pr and Sf/Pr) but does not greatly change Ic/Pr.

国家气象中心集合数值预报业务系统的发展及应用

利用ECMWF集合预报对2016年6月11—12日发生在长三角地区的一次暴雨过程进行了分析,并对集合“好” “坏”两类成员的预报结果进行了对比。分析表明：集合预报对本次暴雨过程具有比较好的预报能力,集合平均预报效果要优于确定性预报,其雨量预报的增大趋势对暴雨的预报具有一定的指示意义;高分位数集合成员对于暴雨预报有比较好的参考价值,尤其是在预报时效还较长的时候,如果连续多起报时次高分位数集合成员都预报出暴雨,以及低分位数集合成员的雨量预报呈现逐渐增大趋势,预示着暴雨的可能性在增大,有助于暴雨预报的决策;对天气系统和气象要素的预报差异是造成“好”“坏”两类集合成员对本次暴雨过程模拟效果差异的主要原因,对500 hPa高空槽、850 hPa低涡及其切变线、西南气流和偏东气流的模拟是决定“好”“坏”两类集合成员模拟效果的关键因素。

     

“12.7.21”西南涡极端强降雨的成因分析

利用常规观测资料、ECMWF分析场、区域自动站、多普勒雷达及SWAN系统产品等资料对2012年7月21日西南涡暴雨过程及盘龙极端强降雨进行分析。分析发现：此次过程是“北槽南涡”形势下,地面冷空气触发西南涡其东侧辐合上升运动强烈发展,高层强辐散,因而产生了对流性暴雨天气过程;冷空气从西侧侵入西南涡是925 hPa “S”形冷锋形成的直接原因,也是地面辐合线形成的重要因素;极端短时强降雨就发生在西南涡东侧中尺度雨带的中部偏北区域,有地面辐合线相配合,降雨最强时MCC冷云中心TBB达最低值。雷达回波表明：西南涡两侧冷暖空气的交绥促进了β中尺度气旋式环流的形成;偏南风低空急流为强降雨提供了充足的水汽,增强了中低层的垂直风切变,有利于强降水超级单体风暴的发展和维持;盘龙的极端短时强降雨是β中尺度气旋式环流中,伴随有深厚中气旋的强降水超级单体风暴在环流中心附近持续发展的结果。     

THE INTERDECADAL VARIABILITY OF ADVANCE AND RETREAT OF EAST ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE REGIONAL RAINFALL OVER CHINA

The daily precipitation data of 740 stations in China(1958–2001)and the daily upper air data of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis dataset(1958–2001)are used to define an East Asian summer monsoon(EASM)index based on dynamic and thermal factors.The index is used to represent the front(or leading edge)of EASM to describe and characterize the advance and retreat of EASM objectively.During 1958–2001,the EASM movement underwent three interdecadal abrupt shifts in 1965,1980 and 1994,respectively.During 1958–1964,the front primarily concentrated in South China and North China,while it stayed at the mid-and lower-Yangtze River for a short period.During 1965–1979,the front was located in South China and the lower reach of Yellow River for a long time.During 1980–1993,the time in which the front of EASM stayed at the mid-and lower-Yangtze River was much longer,but it settled in North China for just a short time.During 1994–2001,the front generally concentrated in the south of the mid-and lower-Yangtze River.The three interdecadal shifts of EASM directly resulted in rainfall anomalies,as well as frequent disasters of flood and drought in East China.     

地下水在引发边坡病害中的作用

人们普遍认为由于地下水的浸泡降低滑带土的抗剪强度值是导致边坡失稳的内部机制.文章以云南元磨公路边坡为实例,对其进行了探究,发现病害边坡主要滑带土的天然含水量与其剪切试验所得的内聚力和内摩擦角之间并没有明显的线性关系.于是,文章采用极限平衡方程从理论上论述了地下水在边坡失稳过程中的力学作用,并对比边坡开挖前后入渗系数值的变化幅度,揭示出工程活动与降雨共同对边坡破坏的作用机制.     

20世纪长江流域3次全流域灾害性洪水事件的气象成因分析

20世纪长江流域曾出现上游洪水7次,中游洪水16次,下游洪水7次,其中有3次是全流域性洪水,分别发生在1998、1954和1931年。1998、1954和1931年梅雨期开始前(3~5月),长江流域降水比常年偏多。进入梅雨季以后,先后出现两场持续性暴雨:第1场出现在6月中旬至7月上旬,这场暴雨造成中下游河流的水位达到或超过警戒水位,出现局地洪涝;7月下旬长江中下游又出现1场持续性范围广的暴雨,雨水只能作为地面径流汇集到长江干流,造成很高水位的洪流。第2场持续性暴雨使长江上下游强降水时段在7月下旬重合,导致长江中下游干流洪水与来自上游的洪水在8月初至中旬遭遇,造成长江中下游灾难性的大洪水。1998、1954和1931年长江全流域性大洪水与东亚中高纬地区大气环流和东亚夏季风活动异常有联系。大气环流和东亚季风活动异常导致7月下旬西太平洋副热带高压的位置偏南,梅雨期持续到7月底,有利于长江中下游持续性暴雨发生的环流条件在7月下旬仍然存在。
