Elucidating Dominant Factors Affecting Land Surface Hydrological Simulations of the Community Land Model over China

In order to compare the impacts of the choice of land surface model(LSM) parameterization schemes, meteorological forcing, and land surface parameters on land surface hydrological simulations, and explore to what extent the quality can be improved, a series of experiments with different LSMs, forcing datasets, and parameter datasets concerning soil texture and land cover were conducted. Six simulations are run for the Chinese mainland on 0.1° × 0.1° grids from 1979 to 2008, and the simulated mon...     

黄河河源区变化环境下分布式水文模拟

将黄河河源区划分为38个自然子流域,利用分布式水文模型模拟径流量,采用唐乃亥水文站逐年、月实测径流资料进行验证,得到了较好的模拟效果。文章建立了5种土地覆被情景模型及24组不同气温和降水的情景组合,分别模拟不同情景下的年径流量。模拟结果表明,随着植被覆盖度的增加,流域年径流量减小,蒸发量增加。当气温降低2_oC且降水增加20%时,流域径流量增加得最大,增加39.69%。     

中国气温变化的两个基本模态的诊断和模拟研究

我国地域辽阔,气候复杂多变,在全球变暖的背景下研究中国近百年来的气温变化具有重要的意义。为此我们重建了中国东部71个站1880—2004年四季气温距平序列。通过EOF分析发现了中国气温变化的2种最基本的模态：东部一致变化和关内关外相反变化。这2种模态不随季节变化,而且在不同时期也是稳定的。通过研究这2种模态与变暖趋势的关系发现,20世纪80年代以来的变暖主要是由于第一模态在该时期持续的正位相增强造成的;而20世纪20~40年代的变暖主要是由于第二模态所呈现的正位相所造成的。此外,我们检验了这2种模态在大气环流模式（CAM）中的表现。结果表明：121年（模式中1880—2000年）的集合模拟在一定程度上可以重现第一模态的变化,而第二模态则仅在冬季表现明显。最后,以冬季为例,利用1880—2004年重建及观测的500 hPa高度场资料,通过合成分析进一步研究了这2种模态的环流机制：第一模态正位相对应纬向环流增强,表现在地面气温分布上为东部一致变暖。而负位相则对应东亚大槽加深,东部地区一致变冷。第二模态正位相对应的环流分布则为从东亚北部到阿留申为负距平,东亚到北太平洋中纬度为正距平;对应地面气温分布为关内变暖关外变冷。负位相时环流分布基本相反。这样的环流机制得到了模式研究的支持。     

基于能值的绿洲农业可持续发展情景分析——以新疆伊宁县为例(英文)

如何协调干旱区生态环境保护与绿洲农业生态化发展之间的关系,避免绿洲系统的荒漠化,是实现绿洲人地系统可持续发展过程中亟待解决的关键问题。本文以伊宁县为例,利用能值分析和相图理论,深入分析了温带干旱区绿洲农业生产系统的时序演化状况与发展趋势,进而提出了相应的调控措施。研究结论如下:(1)1989–2008年,伊宁县绿洲农业生态系统的能值总投入和总产出均呈持续增长趋势。(2)基于能值指标的可持续性分析表明,目前伊宁县农业生产系统仍处于可持续发展的状态,但可持续发展指数ESI呈现出波动下降的趋势;(3)基于相图理论的可持续线情景分析表明,F导向模式和N导向模式均有其局限性,在伊宁县农业生产系统今后的发展中,应采取R导向模式。即保持系统中当地不可更新资源利用比率的基本稳定,使得经济反馈能值的使用比率和本地不可更新资源的使用比率同步减少,籍此提高当地可更新资源对农产品生产的贡献率,保证系统的可持续发展。     

一次MCS过程的卫星云图和数值模拟分析

本文应用卫星云图与数值模拟结果对2000年6月2日发生的一次影响江苏的江淮气旋暴雨过程进行研究分析，阐述了这次暴雨过程表现的MCS基本特征。分析表明：MCS的形成可以由几个中β尺度对流云或对流带开始，在特定的环境场中汇合成合并；在其发展过程中必须维持湿度平流，低层到中层有暖平流，骨强偏南风急流伸向形成区，同时在其东北方向有一支高空西风急流相耦合；低层的辐合、整层凝结潜热的释放、垂直运动的增强、高层的辐散引起的正反馈机制是MCS发展的动因。     

21世纪增暖情景下西北太平洋热带气旋频数的预估

利用IPCC发布的5个全球气候模式在高（SRES A2）、低（SRES B1）两种不同排放情景下的预报集成结果,对21世纪大尺度环境进行分析,进而对西北太平洋夏季热带气旋（TC）的频数进行预估。结果表明：两种情景下热带西北太平洋均呈现500 hPa位势高度偏高、太平洋东部海表温度偏高、低层菲律宾以东为异常反气旋性环流控制的特征。这种大尺度环境不利于TC生成,在高排放情景下或21世纪中叶后该环境特征更显著。未来TC频数总体呈减少的趋势,低排放情景下的TC频数变化趋势比高排放情境下平缓,TC频数存在年代际和年际变化。     

表面气温内部变率估算方法的比较研究

本文利用37个CMIP5模式和CESM（Community Earth System Model）包含40个成员的超级集合试验的表面气温预估数据，比较了工业革命前气候参照试验、多项式拟合法和方差分析方法这三种目前在国际上运用较多的方法所估算的表面气温内部变率的异同，分析了内部变率的估算对气候预估中信号萌芽时间（TOE）的影响。结果表明:若采用CMIP5多模式集合，则工业革命前气候参照试验和多项式拟合法都是估算内部变率的合理方法，而方差分析方法则由于包含模式性能自身的影响会夸大内部变率故不推荐使用。内部变率的全球分布呈现出极向强化的现象，中高纬度地区的内部变率幅度远大于热带、副热带地区。内部变率受不同排放情景的影响较小，且随时间无显著变化，但方差分析方法估算的内部变率在热带地区容易受到排放情景的影响。若基于类似CESM这样的单个气候模式的超级集合模拟试验来估算内部变率，三种方法估算的结果相似。不同方法估算的内部变率对TOE的影响主要位于北大西洋拉布拉多海、南大洋威德尔海和罗斯海等邻近海洋深对流区。对于中国区域平均来说，基于CESM超级集合模拟试验，三种方法估算的内部变率与强迫信号之比都小于15%；对CMIP5多模式集合，采用工业革命前气候参照试验和多项式拟合法得到的结果与此接近，但若采用方差分析方法则显著高估内部变率的作用。     

An Observational and Numerical Study on the Topographic Influence on Dust Transport in East Asia

Based on observations and numerical simulations, the topographic impacts on dust transport in East Asia were studied. Two regions frequently attacked by dust storms have been confirmed： one is the western part of Inner Mongolia and the southern Mongolia （namely the Mongolia Plateau）, and the other is the Tarim Basin. The most frequent dust storm occurrence area within the first region appears in its hinterland while that of the second one lies in its southern boundary. Moreover, the region from the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau （TP） to the Loess Plateau is attacked by dust storms second frequently. The dust storms frequently occurring over the Mongolia Plateau axe related not only to the abundant sand and dust sources, but also to the special topographic conditions of East Asia. The most significant factor that influences the dust storms forming in the hinterland of the Mongolia Plateau is the canyon low level jet （CLLJ）, which dominates around the southern areas of the Altay-Sayan Mountains with an east-west direction in the beginning of its formation, and is accompanied by significantly enhanced surface wind afterwards. Due to the obstructive effects of the CLLJ, a lot of dust particles carried by the southward down-slope cold air mass would pile up over the southern slope of the Sayan Mountains. Meanwhile, uneven surface conditions are favorable for the dust particles to go up into the upper atmosphere. With the dust particles piling up continuously, a dust layer is formed in the troposphere and can be recognized as a ＇!dust accumulating container＂, which provides abundant dust particles to be transported later to the downstream areas. Additionally, the topographic features of East Asia also exert a great influence on dust transport. Generally, the easterly CLLJ enhances the easterly dust transport. The down-slope air current over the southern Sayan Mountains and the air flow surrounding the TP near its northeastern edge enhance the southward dust transport. Lastly, weather system influences are also examined. The weathers associated with cold fronts frequently appear over the areas of Mongolia and North China in springtime. The cold front system, in general, carries the sand and dust southwards. Among all topographic influencing elements, the rounding effect of the TP is the strongest. Under the combined influences of the cold front and the rounding effect of topography, most sand and dust particles are transported and then deposited over the Loess Plateau.     

Comparison of scenario‐neutral approaches for estimation of climate change impacts on flood characteristics

Scenario‐neutral assessments of climate change impact on floods analyse the sensitivity of a catchment to a range of changes in selected meteorological variables such as temperature and precipitation. The key challenges of the approach are the choice of the meteorological variables and statistics thereof and how to generate time series representing altered climatologies of the selected variables. Different methods have been proposed to achieve this, and it remains unclear if and to which extent they result in comparable flood change projections. Here, we compare projections of annual maximum floods (AMFs) derived from three different scenario‐neutral methods for a prealpine study catchment. The methods chosen use different types of meteorological data, namely, observations, regional climate model output, and weather generator data. The different time series account for projected changes in the seasonality of temperature and precipitation, in the occurrence statistics of precipitation, and of daily precipitation extremes. Resulting change in mean AMF peak magnitudes and volumes differs in sign between the methods (range of ?6% to +7% for flood peak magnitudes and ?11% to +14% for flood volumes). Moreover, variability of projected peak magnitudes and flood volumes depends on method with one approach leading to a generally larger spread. The differences between the methods vary depending on whether peak magnitudes or flood volumes are considered and different relationships between peak magnitude and volume change result. These findings can be linked to differing flood regime changes among the three approaches. The study highlights that considering selected aspects of climate change only when performing scenario‐neutral studies may lead to differing representations of flood generating processes by the approaches and thus different quantifications of flood change. As each method comes with its own strengths and weaknesses, it is recommended to combine several scenario‐neutral approaches to obtain more robust results.     

云场中云簇的测量

使用云分割法和最近累积分布函数法，通过蒙特卡罗模拟和陆地卫星资料研究了卷云覆盖频率与云簇型式的依赖关系。结果表明：由于云分布“核态”的尺度依赖于云网格的尺度，云分布“模态”不能很好地描述云尺度大小分布，这里云尺度大小是指云覆盖量最大时的尺度权重（是云尺度大小的函数）。同时也表明卷云的“模型”尺度与云网格尺度之间关系最小，对任何给定的云尺度分布，“最小模态尺度”是唯一的。在云的组成具有相同尺度及与较大尺度云重迭的云场中，“最小模态尺度”与云覆盖频率分布的形状有关。云尺度分布引起的簇的形式不同于云中心区云簇的形式，其原因是“有效”的云尺度大小取决于网格区域的大小，并且是由云簇决定的，有效的云尺度是由云覆盖频率分布形状反算得到的
