青藏高原气温变化趋势与同纬度带其他地区的差异以及臭氧的可能作用

利用台站探空观测资料和卫星观测资料,分析了1979—2002年青藏高原上空温度的变化趋势。结果表明:高原地区上空平流层低层和对流层上层的温度与对流层中低层具有反相变化趋势。平流层低层和对流层上层降温,温度出现降低趋势,降温幅度无论是年平均还是季节平均都比全球平均降温幅度更大。高原上空对流层中低层增温,温度显示出增加的趋势,并且比同纬度中国东部非高原地区有更强的增温趋势。对1979—2002年卫星臭氧资料的分析表明,青藏高原上空臭氧总量在每个季节都呈现出明显的下降趋势,并且比同纬度带其他地区下降得更快。由于青藏高原上空臭氧有更大幅度的减少,造成高原平流层对太阳紫外辐射吸收比其他地区更少,使进入对流层的辐射更多,从而导致高原上空平流层低层和对流层上层降温比其他地区更强,而对流层中低层增温更大。因此,高原上空比其他地区更大幅度的臭氧总量减少可能是造成青藏高原上空与同纬度其他地区温度变化趋势差异的一个重要原因。     

Formation of the Summertime Ozone Valley over the Tibetan Plateau: The Asian Summer Monsoon and Air Column Variations

The summertime ozone valley over the Tibetan Plateau is formed by two influences,the Asian summer monsoon(ASM) and air column variations.Total ozone over the Tibetan Plateau in summer was ～33 Dobson units(DU) lower than zonal mean values over the ocean at the same latitudes during the study period 2005-2009.Satellite observations of ozone profiles show that ozone concentrations over the ASM region have lower values in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere(UTLS) than over the non-ASM region.This is caused by frequent convective transport of low-ozone air from the lower troposphere to the UTLS region combined with trapping by the South Asian High.This offset contributes to a ～20-DU deficit in the ozone column over the ASM region.In addition,along the same latitude,total ozone changes identically with variations of the terrain height,showing a high correlation with terrain heights over the ASM region,which includes both the Tibetan and Iranian plateaus.This is confirmed by the fact that the Tibetan and Iranian plateaus have very similar vertical distributions of ozone in the UTLS,but they have different terrain heights and different total-column ozone levels.These two factors(lower UTLS ozone and higher terrain height) imply 40 DU in the lower-ozone column,but the Tibetan Plateau ozone column is only ～33 DU lower than that over the non-ASM region.This fact suggests that the lower troposphere has higher ozone concentrations over the ASM region than elsewhere at the same latitude,contributing ～7 DU of total ozone,which is consistent with ozonesonde and satellite observations.     

青藏高原东北侧臭氧垂直分布与平流层-对流层物质交换

利用臭氧和温度探空廓线,结合NCEP/NCAR资料、TOMS臭氧总量卫星观测资料和NOAAHYSPLIT后向轨迹模式资料,通过个例分析探讨了影响青藏高原(下称高原)附近臭氧垂直分布的因子和过程。结果表明,动力过程是影响高原上空臭氧垂直分布的主要因子,特别是中高纬度高臭氧浓度的空气向南入侵会导致高原上空臭氧浓度的升高,影响高原上空臭氧低谷的范围大小和形态;尽管大气化学过程对高原上空的平流层下层臭氧垂直分布的影响并不显著,但是高原上空的平流层臭氧变化与温度变化具有较好的一致性。同时还发现,对流层上层的强反气旋系统,特别是中高纬度阻塞高压的边缘有明显的平流层空气向对流层入侵,从而导致对流层内臭氧浓度的增加。     

2008年以来青藏高原春季大气温度逆转趋势及其与臭氧总量变化之间的可能联系

利用ERA-Interim和MERRA-2再分析资料,考察1980—2017年青藏高原大气温度变化趋势和规律,年、季、月不同时间尺度分析结果均揭示2008年以来青藏高原春季大气温度变化呈现逆转趋势：高原上空平流层下部150~50 hPa呈现明显的增温趋势（1.0~2.7℃/10a),对流层上部300~175 hPa呈现明显的降温趋势（-3.1~-1.0℃/10a),这与此前的大气温度变化趋势完全相反。利用TOMS和OMI卫星臭氧遥感资料,考察同期青藏高原臭氧总量变化特征,表明2008年以来青藏高原臭氧总量也表现出逆转的增加趋势,与大气温度逆转趋势吻合,从冬末至春季各月均有显著增加趋势,尤以5月臭氧总量增加速率最大,达13.7 DU/10a。青藏高原春季大气温度变化趋势与同期臭氧总量变化特征紧密相关,2008年后臭氧总量的快速恢复可能是引起大气温度逆转趋势的一个重要影响因素。     

西南地区臭氧空间分布及变化趋势

本文利用2003年1月—2012年12月的MSR2臭氧总量月平均资料对四川盆地(28～31°N,104～106°E)、青藏高原(27～37°N,80～95°E)、云贵高原(23～27°N,98～106°E)3个区域的臭氧总量空间分布及变化趋势进行了对比分析。得到了以下结论,四川盆地常年存在臭氧总量最大值,青藏高原次之,云贵高原最低。在2003—2012年这10 a间西南地区臭氧总量总体呈上升趋势,这同全球臭氧总量近几十年的变化趋势相一致,其中上升趋势云贵高原四川盆地青藏高原。西南地区在这十年间分别出现了臭氧总量最小值年(2008年)和臭氧总量最大值年(2010年),其中青藏高原还出现了一个臭氧总量最小值年(2004年)。就臭氧总量季节变化而言,在2003—2012年10 a间西南地区臭氧总量在春季存在最大值,但是青藏高原的臭氧总量在秋季存在最小值,而四川盆地和云贵高原的臭氧总量在冬季存在最小值。

青藏高原臭氧低谷的加深及其可能的影响

通过分析 TOMS(1 979～ 1 992 )资料发现 :(1 )青藏高原的臭氧不仅存在递减趋势 ,而且是一个递减的强中心 ,这个递减的强中心是同纬度地区 3个递减中心之一 ;(2 )夏季青藏高原臭氧低谷有加深的趋势 ,其递减率最大值为 - 0 .336% /a;加深区域为 2 9～ 33°N,78～ 94°E。另外 ,分析 SAGE 资料的结果表明 :青藏高原臭氧递减的强中心的形成是由于其平流层下部臭氧异常减少造成的。根据研究结果的趋势估测 :从 1 992年到 2 0 0 0年 ,夏季青藏高原紫外辐射增加大约为 1 .3%～ 2 .3% ,可能引起白内障发病率上升大约 0 .8%～ 1 .4% ,皮肤癌上升大约 3.2 %～ 5.4%。     

Relationship between the increase temperature and variation of ozone level over the Antarctica and Tibetan plateau in spring

Based on the ozone and aerological sounding data at Syowa Station (69o 00'S, 39o35'E), Antarctica during 1966－1979 and Lhasa Station (39o40'N, 91o08'E), Tibetan Plateau during 1979－1983, the processes of temperature increase in spring over the Tibetan Plateau and the Antarctica are compared in this paper, and the relationship between the increase of air temperature and variation of total ozone and ozone partial pressure is analyzed. It is found that: (1) The process of temperature increase over the Tibetan Plateau is quite different from that over the Antarctica in spring. This is a proof that the heating effects of their ground surface on the atmosphere are of great difference; (2) Sudden increase of total ozone is always associated with sudden warming in the stratosphere over the Antarctica, but sudden decrease of total ozone is associated with sudden warming in the troposphere over the Tibetan Plateau in spring; and (3) There is a good positive correlation, with a correlation coefficient of about 0.85, between the temperature increase and variation of ozone partial pressure in the stratosphere over the Antarctica in spring.     

Air Temperature Changes over the Tibetan Plateau and Other Regions in the Same Latitudes and the Role of Ozone Depletion

Using radiosonde and satellite observations, we investigated the trends of air temperature changes over the Tibetan Plateau （TP） in comparison with those over other regions in the same latitudes from 1979 to 2002. It is shown that Over the TP, the trends of air temperature changes in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere were out of phase with those in the lower to middle troposphere. Air temperature decreased and a decreasing trend appeared in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere. The amplitude of the annual or seasonal mean temperature decreases over the TP was larger than that over the whole globe. In the lower to middle troposphere over the TP, temperature increased, and the increasing trend was stronger than that over the non-plateau regions in the same latitudes in the eastern part of China. Meanwhile, an analysis of the satellite observed ozone data in the same period of 1979-2002 shows that over the TP, the total ozone amount declined in all seasons, and the ozone depleted the most compared with the situations in other regions in the same latitudes. It is proposed that the difference between the ozone depletion over the TP and that over other regions in the same latitudes may lead to the difference in air temperature changes. Because of the aggravated depletion of ozone over the TP, less （more） ultraviolet radiation was absorbed in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere （lower to middle troposphere） over the TP, which favored a stronger cooling in the upper troposphere to lower stratosphere, and an intenser heating in the lower to middle troposphere over the TP. Therefore, the comparatively more depletion of ozone over the TP is possibly a reason for the difference between the air temperature changes over the TP and those over other regions in the same latitudes.     

全球变暖背景下青藏高原夏季气温在对流层上下反相变化及其与降水和环流的关系

本文利用NCEP/NCAR月平均再分析资料及中国596个测站月降水资料,采用线性倾向估计、经验正交函数分解(EOF)、相关分析、合成分析等方法,对青藏高原夏季对流层气温垂直变化及其与降水和环流的关系进行了分析。气温垂直变化特征分析表明:自1971年以来,青藏高原夏季对流层低层至对流层中上部气温呈现显著增暖趋势,对流层上部气温呈现显著变冷趋势,高原对流层低层至中上部气温及对流层上部气温在年际、年代际尺度上均呈较显著负相关,且均存在2~4 a及8~13 a的周期;夏季青藏高原地区沿27.5°N~40°N平均的气温距平垂直分布的EOF分解第一模态特征向量在对流层表现为"下降温上增温"的反相变化,其时间系数呈显著负趋势,且存在1978年及1994年的突变点。高原夏季气温在对流层的上下反相变化与我国夏季降水的关系在年际、年代际尺度上均显示:当高原对流层低层至对流层中上部升温而对流层上部降温时,我国夏季降水表现为南方型,其中以江南至华南地区降水显著偏多而我国东北地区降水显著偏少为主要分布特征;另外,长江流域的局部地区及我国西北的部分地区降水也明显偏少,而华北东部的局部地区、青藏高原中部及东部地区以及新疆西北部地区降水明显偏多;降水异常分布在年代际尺度上比年际尺度更显著。环流分析显示:当高原对流层低层至对流层中上部升温而对流层上部降温时东亚中高纬度地区为异常高压控制,中低纬度地区受异常低压影响。环流场与降水分布有较好的配置关系。     

A NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE VARIATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF TROPOSPHERIC OZONE AND ITS PRECURSORS OVER CHINA*

By means of a three-dimensional meteorological model (MM5) and a chemical model,the distributions of tropospheric ozone and its precursors over China have been simulated in summer and winter time,16-18 August 1994 and 7-9 January 1995.The distribution of ozone over the Tibetan Plateau in summer time is deeply discussed.The simulated results indicate that thedistributions of surface ozone and NO_x are in good agreement with observed results,and human activities and photochemical reactions are the main factors controlling the surface ozone and NO_x concentrations.In addition,higher ozone concentrations are coincided with the air convergence,and the lower concentrations are related to the air divergence.In summer,over the Tibetan Plateau the strong flow convergence results in higher ozone concentrations in the lower troposphere:and the strong flow divergence results in lower ozone concentrations in the upper troposphere.In winter time ozone concentrations show large-scale characteristics controlled by westerly flow,and in the jet area they are lower than those outside the jet.     

青藏高原和北美夏季臭氧谷垂直结构和形成机制的比较

利用MLS卫星资料和ERA-Interim再分析资料,比较了青藏高原和北美夏季臭氧谷的垂直结构和形成机制。结果如下:青藏高原夏季臭氧谷在垂直方向上存在两个低值中心,一个中心位于对流层顶附近,强度约为-15 DU,形成原因主要为水平幅散,另一个中心位于上平流层,强度约为-1 DU,形成原因可能为光化学反应参与的氯自由基的催化损耗。北美夏季臭氧谷仅存在一个低值中心,位于对流层顶附近,该中心强度约为-5 DU,其形成的主要原因是水平辐散。     

拉萨地区1998年夏季臭氧总量及垂直廓线的观测研究

该文根据1998年6~10月上旬在拉萨地区进行的臭氧总量及臭氧垂直廓线的观测结果, 并结合同期同纬度其他两个臭氧站数据资料, 证实了以拉萨地区为代表的青藏高原在夏季存在“臭氧低谷”的现象.分析表明, 地基和卫星观测的臭氧总量有一定误差. Umkehr观测反演结果表明夏季拉萨地区平流层臭氧分布和同纬度其他地区相比略有不同; 在对流层, 探空资料显示了该地区对流层臭氧有低值分布的特征.     

青藏高原与同纬度其他地区热带对流层顶气压变化特征的比较

基于1979—2014年ERA-Interim逐日再分析温度资料,依据温度递减率插值法计算出青藏高原及同纬度其他地区热带对流层顶气压数据,比较了高原和同纬度其他地区热带对流层顶气压季节变化和长期变化趋势,讨论了热带对流层顶气压与高空温度的关系。结果表明:1)在季节变化上,除12月和1月外,青藏高原热带对流层顶气压全年低于同纬度其他地区;青藏高原热带对流层顶气压、对流层中上层以及平流层下部平均温度均表现出比同纬度其他地区更明显的单峰型特征。2)热带对流层顶气压与高空温度变化关系密切,对流层中上层(平流层下部)平均温度升高(降低),有利于热带对流层顶气压降低;相对于同纬度其他地区,青藏高原对流层顶气压与对流层中上层平均温度的关系更密切。3)1979—2014年青藏高原和同纬度其他地区各季节的热带对流层顶气压均呈现出不同程度的下降趋势,冬春季下降趋势更加显著;青藏高原各季节对流层中上层增温和平流层下部降温的幅度均超过同纬度其他地区,导致其热带对流层顶气压的下降趋势比同纬度其他地区更加明显。     

Effects of the Tibetan Plateau on total column ozone distribution

The relatively low total column ozone (TCO) above the Tibetan Plateau (TP) observed in summer is only partly due to the thinness of the atmospheric column. In this paper the effect of the TP on the TCO is further investigated using satellite data [Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) ozone column and Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II) ozone profiles], ECMWF ERA-40 reanalysis data and a 3-D chemistry-climate model (CCM). It is found that the low TCO over the TP is also closely related to large-scale uplift and descent of isentropic surfaces implied by seasonal and longitudinal variations in the tropopause height. The variations in tropopause height, with a maximum in summer, can be driven by various processes including convective activity, air expansion as well as the monsoon system. While previous studies have showed an important role of troposphere-to-stratosphere transport in contributing to the observed low ozone column over the TP, the mechanism revealed in this study is an alternative amendment to the causes of the TCO low over the TP. It is also found that the monsoon anticyclone circulation induces an isentropic transport of trace gases from high latitudes towards the TP in the lower stratosphere and hence modifies tracer distributions. For the vertical distribution of ozone, the modulation by the TP is most significant below ∼20 km, that is, in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). The smaller differences in NO _x between Eastern TP and TP compared to large dynamically caused differences in ozone and methane imply the TCO low over the TP is mainly due to transport processes rather than chemistry.     

1998年青藏高原臭氧低值中心异常及其背景环流场的分析

采用TOMS和SAGE II臭氧卫星观测资料,对1998年青藏高原臭氧低值中心异常变化的过程和垂直结构进行了分析。为了探讨1998年这个低值中心出现异常的原因,利用NCEP/NCAR再分析资料,通过1998年高原附近上空位势场和位温的变化,分析了1998年臭氧低值中心异常期间高原上空对流层上层到平流层下层的流场和垂直运动的变化特征。结果表明,1998年11月,青藏高原上空对流顶比正常年份高,无论是对流层上层还是平流层下层,上升运动都比正常年份强。同时高原上空南亚高压也比正常年份强,于是使得1998年高原上空的强臭氧低值中心一直维持到11月。     

未来百年夏季青藏高原臭氧变化趋势及可能机制

利用全大气气候通用模式(WACCM3)对政府间气候变化专门委员会排放情景特别报告中2001年到2099年A1B、A2、B1三种排放情景进行了模拟,分析了三种排放情景下青藏高原地区未来百年臭氧总量在夏季(6—8月)的变化趋势及引起该变化的可能机制。结果表明:在三种排放情景下未来百年夏季高原区臭氧总量均呈现增长趋势,其中A2情景下臭氧增长最快,B1情景下增长最慢,但相对于同纬度其他地区,高原区的臭氧总量增长较慢,即高原区臭氧谷加深。高原区高空污染物的减少以及局域Hadley环流的减弱是未来高原区臭氧总量增加的原因;而南亚高压的增强,以及与之相对应的辐散增强则可能是高原区臭氧谷继续加深的原因。     

The Tibetan Ozone Low and Its Long-Term Variation During 1979–2010

A Tibetan ozone low was found in the 1990s after the Antarctic ozone hole.Whether this ozone low has been recovering from the beginning of the 2000s following the global ozone recovery is an intriguing topic.With the most recent merged TOMS/SBUV(Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer/Solar Backscatter Ultra Violet) ozone data,the Tibetan ozone low and its long-term variation during 1979-2010 are analyzed using a statistical regression model that includes the seasonal cycle,solar cycle,quasi-biennial oscillation(QBO),ENSO signal,and trends.The results show that the Tibetan ozone low maintains and may become more severe on average during 1979-2010,compared with its mean state in the periods before 2000,possibly caused by the stronger downward trend of total ozone concentration over the Tibet.Compared with the ozone variation over the non-Tibetan region along the same latitudes,the Tibetan ozone has a larger downward trend during 1979-2010,with a maximum value of-0.40±0.10 DU yr 1 in January,which suggests the strengthening of the Tibetan ozone low in contrast to the recovery of global ozone.Regression analyses show that the QBO signal plays an important role in determining the total ozone variation over the Tibet.In addition,the long-term ozone variation over the Tibetan region is largely affected by the thermal-dynamical proxies such as the lower stratospheric temperature,with its contribution reaching around 10% of the total ozone change,which is greatly different from that over the non-Tibetan region.     

青藏高原深对流及其在对流层—平流层物质输送中作用的研究进展

深对流能够向上对流层—下平流层（UTLS）输送大量水汽和污染物,对对流层顶的辐射平衡、平流层的臭氧恢复以及全球气候变化都有着重要的影响。近年来,一系列重要的观测事实发现,青藏高原和亚洲季风区是对流层向平流层物质输送（TST）的重要窗口。本文介绍了近年来取得的一些主要进展和成果,包括:（1）通过卫星观测在青藏高原—亚洲季风区上空发现水汽、气溶胶的极大值区和臭氧的极小值区;（2）深对流活动的主要观测途径和通过卫星观测识别深对流的方法;（3）青藏高原深对流向平流层物质输送的物理过程;（4）青藏高原深对流与亚洲季风区、热带海洋地区深对流的结构差异以及不同环境场对深对流物质输送过程的影响。     

Impacts of the atmospheric apparent heat source over the Tibetan Plateau on summertime ozone vertical distributions over Lhasa

青藏高原(TP)是一个对气候变化敏感的地区,其上空的臭氧分布影响着青藏高原及其周边地区的大气环境,北半球夏季青藏高原上空臭氧柱总量相对较低的现象,及其时空变化受到广泛关注.本研究利用北半球夏季5年的拉萨上空臭氧的气球测量数据,研究高原上空大气视热源(Q1)对臭氧垂直分布的影响并探讨了该过程的机制.结果表明,当TP上空对流层整体的Q1相对较高时,拉萨上空对流层臭氧浓度下降.大气更强的上升运动伴随着TP主体区域上空的Q1的增大.因此,当夏季Q1较高时,由于近地表低浓度臭氧空气向上输送,拉萨上空的对流层臭氧浓度下降.
