基于对流尺度集合预报方法对一次暴雨过程预报的分析

为了更加直观和深入地理解对流尺度集合预报中的降水集合预报产品,以便进一步向预报员推广应用,本文开展了基于对流尺度集合预报方法对2021年8月28—29日的一次暴雨过程的预报性能分析,对集合预报的暴雨和大暴雨量级降水预报技巧进行了综合分析。结果表明：(1)不同集合成员降水预报结果的差异随着降水量级的增大越发明显,预报最优和最差的成员的TS评分相差0.3以上。(2)概率匹配平均预报对于暴雨和大暴雨量级降水的预报技巧优于控制预报,也优于集合平均。集合平均由于集合成员预报的平滑作用导致其对极端降水不敏感,因此,简单的集合平均不适合于大暴雨以上量级的极端降水预报。(3)从最小值预报到最大值预报,随着集合百分位的增大,命中率、空报率和频率偏差均逐渐增大,70%或者80%集合百分位预报的预报技巧最优,且优于集合平均和概率匹配平均预报。(4)对于重庆东北部偏西地区出现的大暴雨量级降水,较长预报时效集合概率预报均预报出了一定的降水概率,最长提前60 h,相应的最优的集合成员的降水预报与实况也较为接近。     

短期集合降水概率预报试验

以MM5模式作为试验模式, 通过选取不同的物理过程参数化方案产生8个集合成员, 分别用平均法、相关法和Rank法对2001年11月至2002年5月期间的22个降水个例进行短期集合降水概率预报试验。试验结果显示对小雨—大暴雨6类降水的概率预报, Rank法的综合预报效果明显好于相关法和平均法, 相关法的综合预报效果与平均法基本相同; 无论从均方误差角度还是从命中率和假警报率的相对大小角度, 对小雨、中雨、大雨和暴雨各量级以上降水的概率预报, Rank法的平均预报效果是三种方法中最好的, 相关法的平均预报效果与平均法相同; Rank法好于平均法的平均幅度从均方误差角度较大, 从命中率和假警报率的相对大小角度则较小。平均而言, 三种方法对各量级以上降水的概率预报都是有技巧预报, 对量级小的降水的概率预报技巧高于对量级大的降水的概率预报技巧。     

ECMWF集合预报在安徽大别山区降水预报中的检验

利用2015年6月1日至8月31日ECMWF集合预报系统(EPS)51个成员的降水预报结果,基于安徽省大别山区12个代表站点1～3 d的逐12 h降水观测资料,采用TS评分、箱须图、泰勒图等方法,研究ECMWF集合预报降水结果在安徽省大别山区降水分级预报中的应用效果。主要结论如下:ECMWF集合降水预报中,08时起报的24 h降水量和20时起报的48 h降水量可参考性较大;降水分级检验中,晴雨预报正确率在70%以上,小雨和中雨的空报率较高,对大雨以上量级的预报能力相对较差;大型降水过程中,暴雨以上量级的预报需关注不同预报时效下降水量预报的变化趋势,个别成员对极端降水的表现也值得关注。     

GRAPES区域集合预报系统对登陆台风预报的检验评估

针对2015年7—9月登陆中国大陆沿海的台风,利用GRAPES-REPS区域集合预报资料和集合统计诊断分析方法,对登陆台风的移动路径、时间、地点、强度和降水等进行检验评估,以期为预报员应用GRAPES登陆台风概率预报提供依据。检验结果表明,(1)集合平均移动路径要优于控制预报,集合预报各成员登陆地点存在20~340 km差异,但实况登陆地点均能落在集合成员登陆地点中。(2)对24 h和48 h登陆地点误差而言,集合平均较控制预报更接近实况。(3)随着预报时间的趋近,集合平均、控制预报和集合成员登陆地点距离误差逐渐缩小,登陆地点空间位置预报也没有明显的系统性误差。(4)集合成员对台风登陆时间预报偏早,平均提前2.3 h。(5)在强度预报中,尽管最低气压和近中心最大风速存在登陆前偏弱而登陆后偏强的趋势,但登陆点预报值区间包含了实况观测值,表明GRAPES-REPS集合预报能够较好展示多种可能信息。(6)不同量级降水AROC评分为0.56~0.76,具有预报参考价值;另外AROC评分的高低及台风暴雨落区的准确性与台风登陆点和登陆时间误差密切相关。可见,GRAPES-REPS区域集合预报可以在台风登陆地点、时间、强度和降水预报等方面提供更多的预报不确定性信息,有助于做出正确的预报决策。      

暴雨集合预报-观测概率匹配订正法在四川盆地的应用研究

利用2008—2011年6—8月中国气象局T213全球集合预报24—240 h降水预报资料和四川盆地观测降水资料,提出四川盆地暴雨集合预报-观测概率匹配订正法。该方法将集合预报降水累积概率分布与观测降水累积概率分布进行概率匹配,对降水量为50 mm的集合预报平均值进行订正,获得暴雨预报订正值(A Calibrated Heavy Rainfall forecast value),累积降水概率分布拟合函数采用Gamma函数。选取2013年6月28日—7月10日进行独立样本暴雨预报试验,分析四川盆地暴雨预报订正值分布特征和订正前后降水检验评分变化,讨论该方法存在的若干局限性。结果显示:T213集合预报对四川盆地降水预报存在预报量较观测量级小、模式预报时效越长降水预报越弱等系统性偏差,暴雨集合预报-观测概率匹配订正值普遍小于50 mm,且随预报时效延长而逐渐减小,有效地订正了T213暴雨集合预报系统性误差;暴雨集合预报-观测概率匹配订正法对"有或无暴雨"二分类暴雨预报改善较明显,ETs评分获得提高,且漏报率和空报率有所降低。     

集合预报产品在江苏省暴雨预报中的应用评估

利用2011—2015年6—8月TIGGE(THORPEX Interactive Grand Global Ensemble)数据集中欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF,以下简称EC)的集合降水预报数据和江苏省70个基本站逐日24 h(20时至次日20时)降水数据,通过大量暴雨样本系统检验和评估了EC集合预报及多种后处理释用产品对江苏暴雨的预报能力。结果表明:作为集合预报的初级产品,集合平均对暴雨的预报存在明显的漏报率,TS预报评分尚不及EC确定性预报;集合预报不同成员间对暴雨的预报技巧差异大,其最优成员组合的预报能力显著优于EC确定性预报,表明集合预报具有较大的应用潜力;在多种集合预报后处理释用技术中,最大值、最优百分位、降水偏差订正频率匹配法、概率预报、集合异常预报法和杜-周排序法(最大值法)的平均TS评分均较高,超过10%,其次90%分位数、融合、融合-概率匹配和杜-周排序法(集合平均或中位值法)的预报效果也均优于EC确定性预报。集合中位值、概率匹配方法对江苏暴雨的预报评分低于集合平均预报,在暴雨预报上的参考价值相对较低。该评估结果进一步加深了对各集合预报产品区域暴雨预报能力的认识,为预报员更直接快速地选取有效的集合预报产品提供参考。     

基于集合成员订正的强降水多模式集成预报

基于TIGGE资料集下欧洲中期天气预报中心（ECMWF）、日本气象厅（JMA）、英国气象局（UKMO）、美国国家环境预报中心（NCEP）和中国气象局（CMA）5个气象预报中心2016年5月1日—8月31日中国地区逐日起报预报时效为24~168 h的24 h累积降水量集合预报的结果,对各个集合预报成员进行了频率匹配法的订正,并对订正前后的多模式集成预报效果进行评估。结果表明:采用频率匹配法订正后的降水预报,有效改善了集合平均预报中强降水（日降水量25 mm以上）预报由平滑作用产生的量级偏小现象,使预报的降水量级更接近实况,但对降水落区预报改进不明显。基于卡尔曼滤波技术的集成预报效果优于基于线性回归的超级集合预报和消除偏差集合平均预报,对强降水落区的预报较单模式更优。基于集合成员订正的降水多模式集成预报在强降水的落区预报和降水中心的量级预报更接近实况,效果优于原始多模式集成预报与单模式结果。     

ECMWF集合预报在中国中部地区的降水概率预报性能评估

利用2013、2014年5-10月ECMWF集合预报系统(EPS)输出的降水预报资料,CMORPH(NOAA Climate Prediction Center M orphing M ethod)卫星与全国30000余个自动气象观测站的逐小时降水量融合资料,基于Brier评分、Talagrand分布、ROC(Relative operating characteristic)分析等方法,研究ECMWF集合预报对我国中部降水的概率预报性能。主要结论如下:(1)模式对小雨具有稳定的预报技巧,但预报概率偏大;对大雨以上量级降水的分辨能力不足,概率预报偏小。(2)Talagrand图整体表现为"U"型,模式对中等强度以上量级降水预报频次偏少;就不同量级降水的预报和观测频次一致程度来看,时效越长预报性能越稳定;第11天模式集合成员的发散度发生明显变化,Talagrand图呈"钟"型分布,预报评分显著下降。(3)预报日数越短,降水概率预报效果越好,平均而言,预报日数超过2天后,模式对12 h(24 h)小于30%(40%)的暴雨概率预报技巧低于气候预测。(4)模式24 h小雨命中率较12 h偏高,空报率偏低,预报技巧优于12 h;对暴雨来说,前6天12 h降水概率预报的ROC面积较24 h表现较好。     

2004年西南地区多物理集合预报系统试验及初步检验

利用美国PSU/NCAR的高分辨率中尺度非静力MM5模式,选择不同的积云对流参数化方案和边界层方案,构造西南地区多物理集合预报系统,于2004年8月16～9月30日进行了准业务试验.对四川区域短期降水集合预报结果的检验表明,利用双线性插值方法获得的站点预报值较利用临近格点的降水平均值更具有实际参考价值;对比分析表明,对于小雨到暴雨量级的降水,集合预报优于大部分集合预报成员,对大于100mm以上的极端降水预报能力有待提高;分析显示,以Anthes-Kuo和Kain-Fritsch积云对流参数化方案构造的集合预报成员对四川区域暴雨以上量级的预报效果不明显,因而对集合预报系统中参数化方案的选取,集合预报成员的构成,还有待进一步试验分析与优化.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS OF CLIMATIC EXTREMES IN CHINA DURING 1959–2014

The spatial and temporal variations of daily maximum temperature(Tmax), daily minimum temperature(Tmin), daily maximum precipitation(Pmax) and daily maximum wind speed(WSmax) were examined in China using Mann-Kendall test and linear regression method. The results indicated that for China as a whole, Tmax, Tmin and Pmax had significant increasing trends at rates of 0.15℃ per decade, 0.45℃ per decade and 0.58 mm per decade,respectively, while WSmax had decreased significantly at 1.18 m·s~(-1) per decade during 1959—2014. In all regions of China, Tmin increased and WSmax decreased significantly. Spatially, Tmax increased significantly at most of the stations in South China(SC), northwestern North China(NC), northeastern Northeast China(NEC), eastern Northwest China(NWC) and eastern Southwest China(SWC), and the increasing trends were significant in NC, SC, NWC and SWC on the regional average. Tmin increased significantly at most of the stations in China, with notable increase in NEC, northern and southeastern NC and northwestern and eastern NWC. Pmax showed no significant trend at most of the stations in China, and on the regional average it decreased significantly in NC but increased in SC, NWC and the mid-lower Yangtze River valley(YR). WSmax decreased significantly at the vast majority of stations in China, with remarkable decrease in northern NC, northern and central YR, central and southern SC and in parts of central NEC and western NWC. With global climate change and rapidly economic development, China has become more vulnerable to climatic extremes and meteorological disasters, so more strategies of mitigation and/or adaptation of climatic extremes,such as environmentally-friendly and low-cost energy production systems and the enhancement of engineering defense measures are necessary for government and social publics.     

Revisiting the Concentration Observations and Source Apportionment of Atmospheric Ammonia

正While China’s Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan on particulate matter since 2013 has reduced sulfate significantly, aerosol ammonium nitrate remains high in East China. As the high nitrate abundances are strongly linked with ammonia, reducing ammonia emissions is becoming increasingly important to improve the air quality of China. Although satellite data provide evidence of substantial increases in atmospheric ammonia concentrations over major agricultural regions, long-term surface observation of ammonia concentrations are sparse. In addition, there is still no consensus on

Connections between the Eurasian teleconnection and concurrent variation of upper-level jets over East Asia

The variation of the East Asian jet stream(EAJS) associated with the Eurasian(EU) teleconnection pattern is investigated using 60-yr NCEP–NCAR daily reanalysis data over the period 1951–2010. The EAJS consists of three components: the polar front jet(PFJ); the plateau subtropical jet(PSJ); and the ocean subtropical jet(OSJ). Of these three jets over East Asia,the EU pattern exhibits a significant influence on the PFJ and OSJ. There is a simultaneous negative correlation between the EU pattern and the PFJ. A significant positive correlation is found between the EU pattern and the OSJ when the EU pattern leads the OSJ by about 5 days. There is no obvious correlation between the EU pattern and the PSJ. The positive EU phase is accompanied by a weakened and poleward-shifted PFJ, which coincides with an intensified OSJ. A possible mechanism for the variation of the EAJS during different EU phases is explored via analyzing the effects of 10-day high-and low-frequency eddy forcing. The zonal wind tendency due to high-frequency eddy forcing contributes to the simultaneous negative correlation between the EU pattern and the PFJ, as well as the northward/southward shift of the PFJ. High- and low-frequency eddy forcing are both responsible for the positive correlation between the EU pattern and the OSJ, but only high-frequency eddy forcing contributes to the lagged variation of the OSJ relative to the EU pattern. The negative correlation between the EU pattern and winter temperature and precipitation anomalies in China is maintained only when the PFJ and OSJ are out of phase with each other. Thus, the EAJS plays an important role in transmitting the EU signal to winter temperature and precipitation anomalies in China.     

<p>PARTITION OF SEASON BASED ON MULTIELEMENTS AND THE DECADAL CHANGE OF SEASON DURATION IN CHINA</p>

<p>Using the multielements similarity measurement method and 1950–C2017 NCEP/NCAR gridded daily reanalysis datasets, we analyzed season duration in China during 1950–C2016, and we defined the element with maximum absolute sensitivity as the key impact element at each point using the sensitivity analysis method. The decadal change of season duration and its key impact element before and after 1980 were studied. The results indicated obvious meridional and zonal differences in the distribution of season duration for the 67-year average, and that the key impact element has the same distribution characteristics as season duration. In addition, complementary relationships were found between the durations of spring and summer, autumn and winter, and the cold and warm seasons. Of those, the complementary relationship between the durations of spring and summer was strongest and the regions of complementarity were numerous. The complementary regions of autumn and winter durations were found mainly in western China. In the cold and warm seasons, the complementary regions were widespread and the complementary relationship was generally weak. Comparison of the periods before and after 1980 revealed an east–Cwest difference in the interdecadal variation of season duration. Interdecadal variation in spring and summer was found concentrated in northern and western regions, while that in autumn and winter was concentrated in the western region. Areas of significant interdecadal variation of the key elements were found concentrated in northern and western regions, corresponding well with the areas of significant interdecadal variation of season duration.</p>     

THE INFLUENCES OF SSTA OVER KUROSHIO AND ITS EXTENSION ON RAINFALL IN NORTHEAST CHINA UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF TWO DIFFERENT EL NIO CASES

By using the gauged rainfall in 160 stations within mainland China and the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, the impacts of anomalous SST in Kuroshio and its extension on precipitation in Northeast China were investigated. The results show that a difference in the meridional circulation such as the East Asia/Pacific teleconnection pattern(EAP)may be responsible for the difference in rainfall between 1998 and 2010. In comparison with 1998, the anomalous meridional circulation pattern in 2010 shifted northeastward, and then the western subtropical high, the mid-latitudinal trough and the northeastern Asia blocking high also shifted northeastward, causing intensified convergence of the cold and warm air masses at the southern region and thus more rainfall in the southwestern region and less in the northwestern region. In 1998, the anomalous cyclone, one component of the meridional pattern, located at the Songhuajiang-Nengjiang River basin, resulted in more rainfall in the majority of the area. The results of observation and the model show that the difference in SSTA in Kuroshio and its extension under the background of different El Ni觡o events is the key point:(1) The anomalous warmth moved westward from the mid-Pacific to the east of the Philippine Sea during the central event, which led the heat resources shifting to the northeast in 2010; subsequently, a shift occurred to the north of the anomalous ascent and decent, followed by a warm SSTA in the region of Kuroshio's extension in 2010 and Kuroshio in 1998.(2) The warm SSTA in the Kuroshio extension causing the Rossby wave activity flux strengthened in 2010, and then the westerly jet shifted northward and extended eastward. A warm SSTA in Kuroshio and cold SSTA in its extension in 1998 caused the westerly jet to shift southward and weaken. As a result,the anomalous anticyclone and cyclone shifted northward in 2010, and the blocking high also shifted northward.     

Land-use and sustainability under intersecting global change and domestic policy scenarios: Trajectories for Australia to 2050

Understanding potential future influence of environmental, economic, and social drivers on land-use and sustainability is critical for guiding strategic decisions that can help nations adapt to change, anticipate opportunities, and cope with surprises. Using the Land-Use Trade-Offs (LUTO) model, we undertook a comprehensive, detailed, integrated, and quantitative scenario analysis of land-use and sustainability for Australia’s agricultural land from 2013–2050, under interacting global change and domestic policies, and considering key uncertainties. We assessed land use competition between multiple land-uses and assessed the sustainability of economic returns and ecosystem services at high spatial (1.1 km grid cells) and temporal (annual) resolution. We found substantial potential for land-use transition from agriculture to carbon plantings, environmental plantings, and biofuels cropping under certain scenarios, with impacts on the sustainability of economic returns and ecosystem services including food/fibre production, emissions abatement, water resource use, biodiversity services, and energy production. However, the type, magnitude, timing, and location of land-use responses and their impacts were highly dependent on scenario parameter assumptions including global outlook and emissions abatement effort, domestic land-use policy settings, land-use change adoption behaviour, productivity growth, and capacity constraints. With strong global abatement incentives complemented by biodiversity-focussed domestic land-use policy, land-use responses can substantially increase and diversify economic returns to land and produce a much wider range of ecosystem services such as emissions abatement, biodiversity, and energy, without major impacts on agricultural production. However, better governance is needed for managing potentially significant water resource impacts. The results have wide-ranging implications for land-use and sustainability policy and governance at global and domestic scales and can inform strategic thinking and decision-making about land-use and sustainability in Australia. A comprehensive and freely available 26 GB data pack (http://doi.org/10.4225/08/5604A2E8A00CC) provides a unique resource for further research. As similarly nuanced transformational change is also possible elsewhere, our template for comprehensive, integrated, quantitative, and high resolution scenario analysis can support other nations in strategic thinking and decision-making to prepare for an uncertain future.     

Characterization and source apportionment of volatile organic compounds in urban and suburban Tianjin,China

Tianjin is the third largest megacity and the fastest growth area in China, and consequently faces the problems of surface ozone and haze episodes. This study measures and characterizes volatile organic compounds(VOCs), which are ozone precursors, to identify their possible sources and evaluate their contribution to ozone formation in urban and suburban Tianjin,China during the Ha Chi(Haze in China) summer campaign in 2009. A total of 107 species of ambient VOCs were detected,and the average concentrations of VOCs at urban and suburban sites were 92 and 174 ppbv, respectively. Of those, 51 species of VOCs were extracted to analyze the possible VOC sources using positive matrix factorization. The identified sources of VOCs were significantly related to vehicular activities, which specifically contributed 60% to urban and 42% to suburban VOCs loadings in Tianjin. Industrial emission was the second most prominent source of ambient VOCs in both urban and suburban areas, although the contribution of industry in the suburban area(36%) was much higher than that at the urban area(16%). We conclude that controlling vehicle emissions should be a top priority for VOC reduction, and that fast industrialization and urbanization causes air pollution to be more complex due to the combined emission of VOCs from industry and daily life, especially in suburban areas.     

碳交易政策的经济影响:以广东省为例

通过构建广东省两区域动态模型,对广东省碳交易及其他政策措施进行定量评估,分析实施可调控总量的碳交易政策机制对广东省及参与交易部门的经济影响。研究结果表明,按照减排情景到2015年广东完成19.5%的碳强度下降目标,相比基准情景,GDP将减少0.7%;按照强减排情景到2015年将完成20.5%的碳强度下降目标,相比基准情景GDP将减少0.9%;如果在强减排情景的基础上实施碳交易政策,GDP相对基准情景减少0.8%,到2015年实施碳交易政策可减少GDP损失约90亿元,说明广东建立碳排放权交易机制能够发挥支持经济发展和节能减碳双赢的作用。
