Trends in temperature extremes over nine integrated agricultural regions in China, 1961–2011

By characterizing the patterns of temperature extremes over nine integrated agricultural regions (IARs) in China from 1961 to 2011, this study performed trend analyses on 16 extreme temperature indices using a high-resolution (0.5° × 0.5°) daily gridded dataset and the Mann-Kendall method. The results show that annually, at both daytime and nighttime, cold extremes significantly decreased but warm extremes significantly increased across all IARs. Overall, nighttimes tended to warm faster than daytimes. Diurnal temperature ranges (DTR) diminished, apart from the mid-northern Southwest China Region and the mid-Loess Plateau Region. Seasonally, DTR widely diminished across all IARs during the four seasons except for spring. Higher minimum daily minimum temperature (TNn) and maximum daily maximum temperature (TXx), in both summer and winter, were recorded for most IARs except for the Huang-Huai-Hai Region; in autumn, all IARs generally encountered higher TNn and TXx. In all seasons, warming was observed at daytime and nighttime but, again, nighttimes warmed faster than daytimes. The results also indicate a more rapid warming trend in Northern and Western China than in Southern and Eastern China, with accelerated warming at high elevations. The increases in TNn and TXx might cause a reduction in agriculture yield in spring over Northern China, while such negative impact might occur in Southern China during summer. In autumn and winter, however, the negative impact possibly occurred in most of the IARs. Moreover, increased TXx in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta is possibly related to rapid local urbanization. Climatically, the general increase in temperature extremes across Chinese IARs may be induced by strengthened Northern Hemisphere Subtropical High or weakened Northern Hemisphere Polar Vortex.

     

基于WCA2D与SWMM模型的城市暴雨洪涝快速模拟

为探讨计算高效的元胞自动机模型(WCA2D)与传统一维管网模型耦合的机制以及计算效果,尝试将WCA2D与SWMM模型耦合(SWMM/WCA2D),以广州市长湴片区为例探究一种暴雨洪涝快速二维模拟技术,对比实测积水数据以及SWMM/LISFLOOD-FP模拟,结果表明:SWMM/WCA2D模拟结果与"20180607"实测积水数据相近,表明模型精度良好;根据多指标评估结果,综合考虑主干渠道淤积以及建筑物阻挡情景的RTPR、RPPV、F1值分别达到0.8、0.6、0.7,模拟精度最高,最能反映区域实际情况;通过与SWMM耦合,WCA2D和LISFLOOD-FP的模拟结果差异小(最大水深差值基本低于0.1 m)、相关性强(相关系数基本超过0.7),但前者计算效率是后者的3~5倍,表明WCA2D能够耦合SWMM且计算效率更高,为复杂城市化地区暴雨洪涝快速模拟提供了一种新方法。     

气候与土地利用变化对汉江流域径流的影响

作为联结大气圈和地圈的纽带,水文循环同时承受气候变化和土地利用/覆被变化（LUCC）的双重影响,然而大多数的水文响应研究主要关注未来气候变化对径流的影响,忽略了未来LUCC的作用。因此,本文的研究目的是评估未来气候变化和LUCC对径流的共同影响。首先采用2种全球气候模式（BCC-CSM1.1和BNU-ESM）输出,基于DBC降尺度模型得到未来气候变化情景;然后,利用CA-Markov模型预测未来LUCC情景;最后,通过设置不同的气候和LUCC情景组合,采用SWAT模型模拟汉江流域的未来径流过程,定量评估气候变化和LUCC对径流的影响。结果表明：① 未来时期汉江流域的年降水量、日最高、最低气温相较于基准期（1966—2005年）,在RCP 4.5和RCP 8.5浓度路径下,分别增加4.0%、1.8 ℃、1.6 ℃和3.7%、2.5 ℃、2.3 ℃;② 2010—2050年间,流域内林地和建设用地的面积占比将分别增加2.8%和1.2%,而耕地和草地面积占比将分别减少1.5%和2.5%;③ 与单一气候变化或LUCC情景相比,气候变化和LUCC共同影响下的径流变化幅度最大,在RCP 4.5和RCP 8.5浓度路径下未来时期年平均径流分别增加5.10%、2.67%,且气候变化对径流的影响显著大于LUCC。本文的研究结果将有助于维护未来气候变化和LUCC共同影响下汉江流域的水资源规划与管理。     

考虑降水预报的三峡入库洪水集合概率预报方法比较

为了考虑预见期内降水预报的不确定性对洪水预报的影响,采用中国气象局、美国环境预测中心和欧洲中期天气预报中心的TIGGE(THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble)降水预报数据驱动GR4J水文模型,开展三峡入库洪水集合概率预报,分析比较BMA、Copula-BMA、EMOS、M-BMA 4种统计后处理方法的有效性。结果表明:4种统计后处理方法均能提供一个合理可靠的预报置信区间;其期望值预报精度相较于确定性预报有所提高,尤其是水量误差显著减小;M-BMA方法概率预报效果最佳,它能够考虑预报分布的异方差性,不需要进行正态变换,结构简单,应用灵活。
