TEMPERATURE, RAINFALL VARIATIONS AND THEIR ANOMALIES OVER CHINA UNDER THE COLD-WARM BACKGROUND IN THE 20TH CENTURY*

In this study,the climate trend of the annual average air temperature and total annual rainfall in China in the present century has been examined.It is noted that in the Northwest,the Northeast and North China the climate has become notably warmer this century but the rainfall trend has not been evident,mainly negative.In the 1980s China's rainfall and temperature showed noticeable regional features:warm and dry in North China,cold and dry in the Southwest,warm and wet in the Northeast,cold and wet in the middle-lower reaches of the Changjiang River.Besides,the four interdecadal climate change features and ranges of this century have been studied.It is found that on the scale of several decades there was considerably less rainfall in the most part of China in the warm background than in the cold background.The increase of temperature which started from the 1970s mainly happened in the Northwest and Northeast,while to the south of the Huanghe River the temperature increase did not even as great as in 1940s.The corresponding rainfall feature is that most areas experienced much less rainfall except the area to the south of the Huanghe River and over the Changjiang and Huaihe River basin.     

中国近100年来4个年代际的气候变化特征

研究了本世纪中国年平均气温、年总降水量的气候趋势。指出，２０世纪中国西北、东北、华北明显变暖；降水趋势值不大，但以负趋势为主。２０世纪８０年代中国降水、气温的区域特征明显：华北暖干、西南冷干、东北暖略偏湿、长江中下游冷湿。此外，还研究了２０世纪４个年代际的气候变化特征及差异。指出，在数十年尺度的暖背景下，中国的华北、长江下游等大部分地区降水偏少（比冷背景），东北降水偏多。２０世纪７０年代开始的增暖主要发生在西北、东北；黄河以南的增温还达不到４０年代的程度。相应的降水特征：除了黄河以南及江淮流域降水比４０年代多以外，其它大部分地区降水偏少。     

极端降水事件变化的观测研究

回顾了气候变化背景下的极端降水事件变化观测研究的主要进展,结合全球变化的特点,重点讨论了中国极端降水事件的变化特征。指出：最近50多年,我国降水强度普遍趋于增加,降水日数除西北地区外其他大部分地区显著减少。极端降水与总降水量变化之间的关系很密切,西北西部、长江及长江以南地区极端强降水事件趋于频繁,华北地区虽然极端降水事件频数明显减少,但极端降水量占总降水量的比例仍有所增加。连阴雨产生的年降水量在华北、东北东部和西南东部地区明显减小,在青藏高原东部和一些东南沿海地区则增加。降水日数和微量降水日数减少是近年来我国干旱化趋势发展的一个重要特点。     

洱海流域近50年气候变化特征及其对洱海水资源的影响

利用1961-2010年洱海流域的气候和洱海水资源等资料,统计分析了洱海流域气候变化特征及不同气候类型对洱海水资源量的影响,并建立了洱海水资源量与洱海流域降水量、气温的定量关系,对洱海水资源量进行定量估计.结果表明:近50年洱海流域气温呈波动上升趋势,气候变暖明显;21世纪的第一个10年是洱海流域近50年来最暖的10年.年降水量总体上呈减少趋势.洱海水资源量与年降水量之间有显著的正相关关系,而与气温呈明显的负相关关系.洱海流域气候类型在20世纪60和70年代以偏冷和偏湿为主,进入80年代后开始出现暖年,特别是21世纪的第一个10年,气候以偏暖和偏干为主,未出现过偏冷年.在偏干和偏暖的年份洱海水资源均为枯水年;而偏湿和偏冷的年份洱海水资源多为丰水年;气候正常的年份,洱海水资源多为正常.可根据洱海流域未来气候趋势的预测结果,分别通过气候类型及回归预测方程对洱海水资源的丰欠作定性的估计和定量的预测.     

北半球增暖对我国气侯的影响

本文在分析100多年来北半球平均气温长期变化基本特征的基础上,讨论了北半球气温变化对我国气候变化的影响。结果表明,我国大范围气温距平与北半球平均气温有显著的正相关,长江中下游和华北平原的温度距平值平均为北半球平均气温距平的1.4-1.6倍。还表明,我国降水距平分布与北半球气温变化也有一定的联系。在北半球平均气温偏高和偏低年份,欧亚地区500hPa环流特征的差异是显著的。这表明,我国大范围气候距平与北半球平均气温距平的统计相关是有一定的物理基础的。     

中国东部前冬、春土壤湿度与夏季气候的关系

利用中国东部(100°E以东)139个站的1951~1999年逐月反演的土壤湿度资料以及160个气象台站的气温、降水资料,分析了我国东部不同区域前冬、春土壤湿度异常与夏季气候的关系。研究结果表明,黄河以南地区上年冬季土壤湿度与夏季降水存在正的相关关系,但这种滞后相关存在明显的地域差异。其中云贵高原和华中地区夏季气候对上年冬季土壤湿度响应最显著。黄河以北的华北和内蒙地区上年冬季土壤湿度与夏季降水有弱的负相关关系。除了云贵高原地区外,多数地区上年冬季土壤湿度与夏季温度存在负相关关系,其中负相关最显著的是华北地区。春季土壤湿度除与云贵高原的夏季气候关系密切外,与其他地区夏季气候的关系不显著。土壤湿度与气候的滞后相关表明土壤湿度在年际尺度上对后期气候有一定的影响。     

PROCESS OF TRANSITION BETWEEN COLD AND WARM PERIODS AND ITS PREDICTION

The oscillation of multi-time scales and the process of transition between cold and warm periods over most parts of China and its 6 regions (the Northeast,North China,Changjiang River Valley,South China,the Southwest,the Northwest) were analyzed with wavelet transformation and by computing the variances of the wavelet components for the temperature grade series during January 1911 to February 2001,The prediction model for cold and warm periods has been developed and the trend of cold and warm change in the coming 10 years is predicted.The results show that the oscillation with periods of around 30-40 years was the strongest in the last 100 years and the 3-year oscillation in both winter and summer was also stronger,especially in winter.The transition time of cold and warm periods in terms of winter mean did not coincide with that of annual mean,but the difference between summer mean and annual mean is less.The processes of transition of 6 regions are somewhat different,their main characteristics are that the beginning year of significant warming for 1980s to 1990s was very different for the southern and the northern part of China.It is found that the stronger oscillation with 3-year period causes cooling in Northeast China in recent several winters.The experimental predictions show that the models used in the paper can project the major transition between high and low temperature periods.     

宁夏河东沙地近百年来气候背景变化分析

利用贺兰山树木年轮指数与河东沙地盐池代表站的年降水量及气温距平建立相关关系,对河东沙地近百年的降水量及气温距平序列进行拟合延长,分析河东沙地近百年来气候变化大趋势。同时利用河东沙地范围内6个代表性站气象资料,对近50年来河东沙地气候变化特征作较详细的分析。结果表明:河东沙地在30年代之前为干冷期;30年代以后逐渐向暖湿方向发展,一直持续到50年代中期;50年代中期以后是一个典型的寒冷湿润时期;60年代以后是一个相对干冷时期;80年代中期至今是近百年里的一个相对干暖时期。另外,在河东沙地不同时间、不同方位上气温、降水量、蒸发量、空气相对湿度及平均风速均存在着较大差异。     

中国近80年来气候变化特征及其形成机制

自 2 0世纪 2 0年代以来 ,中国地区 4 0和 90年代出现了 2个暖期及 5 0～ 6 0年代相对冷期。最近的 90年代的最暖年 (1998年 )或 5a滑动平均气温几乎已达或略高于 4 0年代的最暖年 (194 6年 )或 5a滑动平均气温。变暖最明显是北方地区 (黑龙江和新疆北部 ) ,而 35°N以南和 10 0°E以东地区自 5 0年代以来存在一个以四川盆地为中心的变冷带 ,虽然 90年代有变暖趋势 ,但基本达到 4 0年代暖期气温。中国降水则以 2 0年代为最少 (192 9年最少 ) ,5 0年代为多水年代 ,以后缓慢减少 ,70年代以后变化不大 ,但多雨带在 80年代及以后由华北南移到长江中下游。195 1～ 1990年 ,大部分地区气温和降水呈负相关 ,在东北和长江—黄河间存在 2个负相关中心 ,表明北方是变暖变旱 ,江淮间是变冷变湿。这些气候变化特征和全球气候变化相比较 ,除北方外 ,变暖期明显的滞后于全球变暖 ,并且出现变冷带等明显差异。文中还综述了用诊断和数值模拟方法对影响中国变化的气候自然变化和人类活动影响 (热岛效应和气溶胶影响 )的研究结果。我们认为 ,以上提出的 3种人类活动对中国气候变化有明显影响 ,特别是工农业发展造成的气溶胶增加是四川盆地气温变冷的主要原因。     

近百年气候变化与变率的诊断研究

总结了近百年来气候变化与变率的诊断研究结果，包括全球平均气温及降水量、中国平均气温及降水量，以及ＥＮＳＯ及ＱＢＯ。指出全球有变暖趋势，１９８０年代是最暖的１０年。但中国的情况有所不同，１９２０年代及１９４０年代最暖，而１９８０年代接近常年。全球降水量有增加趋势，但气温与降水的１０年尺度变化并不完全一致。１９５０年代及１９７０年代为多雨期，１９８０年代降水反而减少。中国夏季降水变化的主要特征是冷湿、暖干。１９２０年代及１９４０年代是近百年最干的时期。１８７１—１９９３年共发生厄尼诺事件２８次，拉尼娜２１次。气候变暖时厄尼诺强，气候较冷时拉尼娜频率高。１９５１—１９９３年赤道平流层纬向风准两年振荡的平均长度为２８．７个月，比１９５０年代末的估计（２６．３个月）要长。１９５１年以前的周期长度可能在２９个月左右。未发现ＱＢＯ与气候变化有明显关系。     

中国气温与全球气温变化的关系

利用１９５１～１９８９年全球格点及中国１６０站逐月气温资料,分析了中国气温场与全球温度场变化的关系及其相应的环流异常,指出：年平均气温显著增暖的中国东北,新疆北部,属中心位于欧亚大陆中北部增暖区的一部分,而中国西南地区的变冷局地现象。年平均气温变化的时空特征主要由冬季气温贡献所致,与中国冬季气温的增暖相对应,欧亚大陆北美大陆地也增暖,北太平洋和北大西洋地区则变冷,这种变化可从欧亚大陆纬向型流加强和     

THE INTERANNUAL OSCILLATION OF RAINFALL OVER CHINA AND ITS RELATION TO THE INTERANNUAL OSCILLATION OF THE AIR-SEA SYSTEM*

The quasi-biennial oscillation(QBO) and 3.5 years quasi-periodic oscillation(named TO hereafter) are exhibited in most of 48 weather stations of China by applying power spectrum analysis to the monthly rainfall data for the period from Jan. 1933 to Dec. 1987. In order to reveal the features of QBO and TO components, another rainfall data set in 160 stations over China for the period from Jan. 1951 to Dec. 1987 was analysed by means of a new method named complex empirical orthogonal function(CEOF). The results show that both QBO and TO modes exhibit two propagation ways:one originates in Northeast China, extends southward, passes through North China and reaches the eastern part of Northwest China and the northern part of Southwest China; the other appears over Guangdong and Fujian, then moves northward and westward respectively to the Huanghe-Huaihe Basin and Southwest China.These two paths of oscillation meet over North China and the area between the Changjiang River and the Huanghe River. A significant correlation exists between the interannual oscillation of the rainfall over China and that of the sea surface temperature(SST) at the equator. Although the correlation between the rainfall over China and the SST over the equatorial eastern Pacific is rather weak, the correlation between their oscillation component is pronounced.     

Changes in Mean and Extreme Temperature and Precipitation over the Arid Region of Northwestern China:Observation and Projection

This paper reports a comprehensive study on the observed and projected spatiotemporal changes in mean and extreme climate over the arid region of northwestern China, based on gridded observation data and CMIP5 simulations under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. The observational results reveal an increase in annual mean temperature since 1961, largely attributable to the increase in minimum temperature. The annual mean precipitation also exhibits a significant increasing tendency. The precipitation amount in the most recent decade was greater than in any preceding decade since 1961. Seasonally,the greatest increase in temperature and precipitation appears in winter and in summer, respectively. Widespread significant changes in temperature-related extremes are consistent with warming, with decreases in cold extremes and increases in warm extremes. The warming of the coldest night is greater than that of the warmest day, and changes in cold and warm nights are more evident than for cold and warm days. Extreme precipitation and wet days exhibit an increasing trend, and the maximum number of consecutive dry days shows a tendency toward shorter duration. Multi-model ensemble mean projections indicate an overall continual increase in temperature and precipitation during the 21 st century. Decreases in cold extremes, increases in warm extremes, intensification of extreme precipitation, increases in wet days, and decreases in consecutive dry days, are expected under both emissions scenarios, with larger changes corresponding to stronger radiative forcing.     

温室效应对我国东部地区气候影响的高分辨率数值试验

使用RegCM3区域气候模式,单向嵌套NASA/NCAR 的全球环流模式FvGCM的输出结果,对中国东部地区进行了在实际温室气体浓度下当代1961~1990年和在IPCC A2温室气体排放情景下21世纪末期2071~2100年各30年时间长度,水平分辨率为20 km的气候变化模拟试验。首先分析全球和区域模式对中国东部地区当代气候的模拟情况,结果表明全球模式对中国东部地区气温的总体分布型模拟较好,但存在冷偏差,区域模式在对这个冷偏差有所纠正的同时,提供了气温地理分布更详细的信息。全球模式模拟的年降水中心位于长江流域,与观测差别较大,区域模式对此同样也有改进,降水高值区主要位于区域南部,并表现出较强的地形强迫特征。区域模式的模拟结果还表明,至21世纪末期,在温室效应作用下,中国东部的气温将明显升高,年平均气温的升高值在2.7~4.0℃之间,其中北部升温大于南部,冬季升温大于夏季。冬季升温表现出明显的随纬度增加而增加的分布型。模拟区域内年平均降水将增加,增加值一般在10%以上,部分地区达到30%。降水增加在夏季较明显,区域内以普遍增加为主,冬季降水自山东半岛至湖南地区将减少,其他地区增加。此外,对夏季高温日数和冬季低温日数及年平均大雨日数的变化也进行了分析。     

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DRY AND WET SUMMER IN THE VERTICAL MOTION ON NORTH SIDE OF QINGHAI-XIZANG PLATEAU AND THE THERMAL IMPACT OF PLATEAU*

To better analyse and understand the causes of Northwest China(NW China) arid climate formation,firstly the dry and wet standards were chosen and the yearly dry and wet grades on the north side of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(hereafter NSQXP) in summers were classified utilizing the rainfall data of five stations over the area in June-August of 1952-1990.Then the differences between the vertical motion over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(QXP) and NSQXP in dry and wet summers were comparatively analyzed using the ECMWF's gridded data of June-August of 1979-1986.Finally the connection between the QXP surface thermal condition and the dry and wet summers on the NSQXP was discussed as well.The main results are the following:(1)the dry and wet standards taking the rainfall standard deviation as criterion are suitable for the arid climate area;(2)the QXP may be,to some extent responsible for the environment background of Middle Asia,NW China and North China arid climate areas;(3)there are the striking differences between the dominant vertical motion over the QXP and NSQXP in the dry and wet summers of NSQXP:(4)the QXP surface thermal condition is to a great extent,responsible for the year-to-year variation of NW China arid climate as well.     

Simulations of Water Resource Changes in Eastern and Central China in the Past 130 Years by a Regional Climate Model

Anthropogenic influences on regional climate and water resources over East Asia are simulated by using a regional model nested to a global model. The changes of land use/land cover (LULC) and CO₂ concentration are considered. The results show that variations of LULC and CO₂ concentration during the past 130 years caused a warming trend in many regions of East Asia. The most remarkable temperature increase occurred in Inner Mongolia, Northeast and North China, whereas temperature decreased in Gansu Province and north of Sichuan Province. LULC and CO₂ changes over the past 130 years resulted in a decreasing trend of precipitation in the Huaihe River valley, Shandong Byland, and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, but precipitation increased along the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and parts of South China. This pattern of precipitation change with changes in surface evapotranspiration may have caused a more severe drought in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River valley. The drought trend, however, weakened in the mid and upper reaches of the Yellow River valley, and the Yangtze River valley floods were increasing. In addition, changes in LULC and CO₂ concentration during the past 130 years led to adjustments in the East Asian monsoon circulation, which further affected water vapor transport and budget, making North China warm and dry, the Sichuan basin cold and wet, and East China warm and wet.     

论1982—1983年冬季东亚气候距平的分布及其形成原因

1982—1983年冬季东亚气候距平的主要特征是有三个距平带和热干、冷湿两种距平状态。作者发现，在厄尼诺现象盛行时，副高明显加强，这是15°N 以南出现热干气候的直接原因。我国新疆地区偏暖，华南、西南地区偏冷也同厄尼诺有一定的遥相关关系。15°—30°N 的强大降水正距平则同东亚南支急流加强和南移有密切关系，南支急流加强则是其南侧的副高加强和其北侧青藏高原气温的强大负距平与雪盖扩大的结果。从降水带与高空急流的关系看，该冬季15°—30°N 地带的降水增多是一种季风雨的加强，同夏季梅雨加强的环流特点是相同的。     

1951-2005年中国区域气候变化与干旱化趋势

摘 要：利用1951-2006年中国区域160个站的月降水及月平均气温资料,对中国区域近56 a气候要素的变化及其与干旱化联系的事实进行了分析。结果表明：降水减少的地区主要位于我国北方的西北东部、华北及东北;在南方,西南的降水减少趋势与上述地区具有类似特征。气温基本为增温趋势,而西北东部及西南地区气温也在20世纪80年代发生转折性变化,由80年代中期以前的降温趋势转为其后的增温趋势。地表湿润指数分析的结果指出：我国西北东部、华北、东北及西南地区当前正处于一个干旱化过程,但不同地区干湿变化特征及干旱化的持续时间和位相却有差别。     

中国温度、降水的长期气候趋势及其影响因子分析

1998年7月长江流域特大洪水期间暴雨特征的分析研究

对１９９８年７月下旬发生于长江中下游的暴雨,即“二度梅”,进行了初步的分析研究,认为：（１）在这一时期由于副热带高压的向南撤退并稳定在偏南位置,为长江流域降水提供了重要的条件;（２）中纬度系统维持两脊一槽的形势有利于冷空气的南下,而夏季风在这一期间偏弱,前沿停留于长江流域,同时与中纬度的偏北气流形成一条沿长江流域东西走向的切变线;（３）在这条切变线附近不断有中尺度系统发生发展,其中一部分中尺度系统达到很强烈的程度,甚至引发了８８４ｍｍ／ｈ的强降水;（４）对流层上层,如２００ｈＰａ上的高压,其东侧的强烈的辐散区正好位于长江中下游地区,上下层系统的有利配合,对这次暴雨的发生十分有利。
