TRMM多卫星降水分析资料揭示的青藏高原及其周边地区夏季降水日变化

本文在对比了TRMM多卫星降水分析TMPA(TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis)资料和中国643个气象站观测降水量时空分布的基础上,采用2002~2006年夏季TMPA每小时降水量资料,用合成分析和谐波分析的方法研究了青藏高原及其周边地区夏季降水量和降水频率的日变化特征.分析结果表明,平均降水量和降水频率日变化谐波分析的标准振幅显示出青藏高原地区夏季降水具有显著的日变化特征,高原中部地区对流活动日变化最强,其次是高原西南方向的印度半岛地区.谐波分析的位相表明降水量和降水频率最大值出现的时间具有选择性,高原中部降水量最大值多集中在傍晚前后,高原以东的四川盆地通常在夜晚,尤其是在后半夜达到最大值,而长江上游和中下游地区对流活动则分别在上午和下午最为活跃.青藏高原以东地区降水量日变化的位相明显不同于其他陆地地区,也不同于高原中部,具有自西向东传播的信号,四川盆地的夜雨现象可能是高原地区对流活动日变化自西向东传播的结果.     

中国东部西南低空急流日变化特征及其机制

本文利用Final Global Data Assimilation System (FNL) 6小时再分析数据集分析了西南低空急流的日变化特征及其影响因子,结果表明:西南低空急流具有明显的日变化特征,在夜间和早晨(02LST,08LST)中国东南大部分地区急流发生频率较高,而在白天和傍晚(14LST,20LST)低空急流发生频率较低.经向地转风分量在一天内基本保持稳定,经向非地转分量在02LST最强,占实际风场强度50%以上,而在14LST和20LST,经向风场近似满足地转平衡.对风场非定常性、风速在流动方向上的非均匀性、流线弯曲和大气斜压性产生的地转偏差的分析结果表明,经向非地转风的日变化主要是由局地变压、水平风场涡度、垂直运动和温度梯度的日变化产生,副热带高压强度和位置的变化、青藏高原大地形加热效应和昼夜间海陆热力性质差异是造成经向非地转风夜间加强的重要原因.在中国东部地区,风速在流动方向的非均匀性虽然有利于非地转风的产生,但其没有明显的日变化,不是经向非地转风在夜间加强的主要原因.

云南地区波速比异常图像的南北差异

动态追踪了云南地区第4 强震活跃期6 .3 级以上强震前波速比异常图像,显示出明显的南北差异:滇西南的1988 年11 月6 日澜沧- 耿马7 .6 、7 . 2 级和1993 年1 月27 日普洱6 .3 级强震发生在低波速比异常区内; 中缅边境上的1992 年4 月23 日6 .7 、6 .8 级和1995 年7 月12 日孟连西7 .2 级强震发生在低波速比异常区边缘;而滇西北的1996 年2 月3 日丽江7 .0 级、1976 年11 月7 日、12 月14 日宁蒗6 .7 、6 .4 级和滇东的1995 年10 月24 日武定6 .5 级强震却都发生在高波速比异常区内.强震前近震震级 ML 与持续时间震级 MD 的震级差的南北差异也进一步证实了波速比异常的差别.     

夏季磁静日中国大陆上空电离层电子浓度变化特征

使用DEMETER卫星上Langmiur探针记录的电子密度(Ne)资料,分析了2007年6月6～20日磁静日中国大陆上空(0°～70°N,60°～120°E)660km高度的Ne变化特征.结果表明,整个研究区域Ne存在明显日变特征.在研究区域内,0°～20°N范围,Ne最大值出现在北京时的12～14时,随着时间推移.峰值幅度衰减;30°～50°N区域内,最大峰值分别出现在20时至次日2时,有些轨道出现双峰值;高纬度上Ne基本平衡在20000cm<'-3>左右.分别计算了30°N、40°N和50°N几个纬度点的时均值,结果显示在中纬度区夜间Ne变化幅度平均高于白天.40°N上Ne在21～22时呈现最大值,300N上Ne在13～14时呈现最大值,50°N基本无大的起伏,都与低纬度地区有明显差异,因此不同纬度之间形态各异,各纬度之间没有统一的背景信息.相邻轨道之间的相关性分析结果表明,与参考轨道相邻近的1～2条轨道相关系数比较高,因此选定2000～4000km范围进行背景场分析研究.     

2010—2016年南北地震带岩石圈磁场变化分析

利用小波分解对2010—2016年南北地震带(21°N—37°N,97°E—109°E)区域6期岩石圈磁场年变化数据进行处理,并对2011年6月以来该区域发生的M_S≥5.0强震震中区的岩石圈磁场变化空间分布及时间演化特征进行了系统分析。结果显示:震级与岩石圈磁场ΔX,ΔY,ΔZ分量变化的相关系数分别为0.26,-0.26,0.15,即二者无显著相关性;震中处岩石圈磁场分量变化的最大幅值分别为18.46,14.98,-15.54 nT。对岩石圈磁场变化进行小波分解的结果表明:MS7.0地震前两年出现显著基底异常,其尺度可能达到上千千米;M_S6.0地震前一年也出现显著基底异常,但异常尺度较小;M_S5.0地震前尚未观测到明确的基底或中层异常。     

青藏高原植被变化与地表热源及中国降水关系的初步分析

利用设在青藏高原的5个自动气象站（AWS）近地层梯度观测资料、归一化植被指数（GIMMS NDVI）和中国624个台站月降水资料,初步分析了青藏高原植被变化与地表热源及中国降水的关系．结果表明：青藏高原植被与地表热源之间存在明显的正相关关系．高原西部感热与NDVI的正相关关系较高原东部显著,而高原东部地表潜热与NDVI的正相关关系则好于高原西部．植被改善后,各季节地表热源以增加为主,尤其夏季,热源增量最大;冬、春季感热对地表热源增量贡献较大,潜热贡献相对较小;夏、秋季感热与潜热对地表热源增量贡献同等重要．青藏高原植被与中国夏季降水相关系数从南到北,呈“＋-＋”带状分布．植被变化引起的高原地表加热异常可能是影响中国夏季降水的重要因子之一．     

北美高压的季节变化特征及其与华北夏季降水的关系

采用1958-1997年月平均NCAR/NCEP资料和1979-1995年旬、月加热场资料,对北美高压各特征参数的季节变化特征及其形成机制进行了分析.结果表明,北美高压具有明显的季节和年际变化,高压在盛夏位置偏北偏东,强度偏强.1978年前后高压的位置和强度发生明显的年代际变化.北美高压具有趋暖性,在其季节变化过程中,落基山地区的潜热加热和感热加热均起到重要作用.结果还表明,前期冬季北美高压的强度对华北夏季降水具有显著影响.     

全球变暖背景下中亚干旱区降水变化特征及其空间差异

依据Climatic Research Unit（CRU）1930～2009年间的最新0.5°×0.5°网格点的月均降水量序列,本文分析了中亚干旱区近80年来的降水变化特征及其区域差异.结果发现,近80年来主要受西风环流控制的中亚干旱区年降水整体上表现出增加趋势,年降水中以冬季降水的增加趋势最明显（0.7mm/10a）.中亚干旱区近80年来的降水变化存在空间差异,可划分为五个降水变化区域（Ⅰ-哈萨克斯坦西区,Ⅱ-哈萨克斯坦东区,Ⅲ-中亚平原区,Ⅳ-吉尔吉斯斯坦区,Ⅴ-伊朗高原区）,根据年降水分布模式以45°N为界划分为两类：研究区北部的两个区（Ⅰ和Ⅱ区）四季降水较均匀,南部的三个区均以春、冬季降水为主（占全年降水的60%～82%）.在降水变化趋势上,除了中亚干旱区西南（Ⅴ区）在近80年来有微弱的减少趋势外,其他四区均表现为增加趋势,尤以干旱区西部的Ⅰ区和Ⅲ区降水增加显著.近80年来降水增加或者减少的趋势主要取决于冬季的变化趋势.研究还发现,中亚干旱区降水存在较明显的年际变化, 中亚干旱区及其各分区都具有2～3 a的显著周期,南部三区（Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ区）还存在5～6 a的显著周期,在此基础上都具有3～4个阶段性的变化趋势.最近一次趋势性变化开始于20世纪70年代中后期,研究区降水更多的表现出区域的差异性.近80年来,中亚干旱区降水对全球变暖的响应复杂,西风环流变化可能是影响中亚干旱区降水变化的主要因素.     

Extreme rainfall events over the Himalayas between 1871 and 2007

Abstract

Currently there is much discussion regarding the impact of climate change and the vagaries of the weather, in particular extreme weather events. The Himalayas form the main natural water resource of the major river systems of the Indian region. We present a brief review of the available information and data for extreme rainfall events that were experienced in different sectors of the Himalayas during the last 137 years (1871–2007). Across the entire Himalayas, from east to west, there are now 822 rainfall stations. There was an increase in the rainfall station network from 1947 onwards, especially in the Nepal and Bhutan Himalayas. Extreme one-day rainfall has been picked out for each station irrespective of the period for which data are available. The decadal distribution of these extreme one-day rainfalls shows that there is a considerable increase in the frequencies during the decades 1951–1960 to 1991–2000, whereas there is a sudden decrease in the frequencies in the present decade during 2001–2007, indicating the need to understand the response of the systems to global change and the associated physical and climatological changes. This is essential in terms of preserving this natural resource and to encourage environmental management and sustainable development of mountain regions.

华北降水年代际、年际变化特征与北半球大气环流的联系

利用美国NCEP再分析月平均资料及我国华北地区26个测站月降水资料,采用奇异值分解（SVD）方法,研究了华北降水的年代际和年际变化特征与北半球大气环流的联系.结果表明,首先对降水和大气变量资料作相应时间尺度的分离是非常必要的,否则所得到的SVD结果不能反映年代际变化特征而只能反映年际变化特征;华北降水年代际和年际变化对应的大气环流异常有明显的差异;对应发生在20世纪70年代后期华北降水的一次年代际跃变,环流场均存在明显的跃变,而且有一个从地面向对流层上层传播的过程.     

利用最小二乘拟合法进行多站地磁日变基值归算

多站日变改正技术是解决远海区大范围磁力测量地磁日变改正的关键技术,然而多站日变改正中,为了减小磁场水平差异的影响,分站日变基值必须向主站归算.基于地磁日变化的时空特点,尝试将最小二乘拟合法引入到多站日变基值归算中,并采用多站同步观测数据对方法的有效性进行了验证.结论表明:当主站和分站日变性质相似时,最小二乘拟合法可以取得良好的效果,且对同步观测时段低.但是当日变性质差异较大时,则应当采用传统的同步比对法.     

南半球环流异常与长江中下游夏季旱涝的关系

本文对长江中下游夏季旱涝年前期（3、4、5月的季节平均）和同期（6、7、8月的季节平均）的南半球环流作对比分析,探讨南半球环流异常与长江中下游夏季旱涝的关系. 结果表明前期和同期南半球环流均有显著差异,春季南极涛动对长江中下游旱涝的影响较夏季显著,南半球副热带高压在春、夏两季中有很好季节持续性. 因此,春季南半球环流异常可以作为长江中下游夏季旱涝主要短期气候预测因子. 南、北半球中高纬环流相互作用是长江中下游夏季降水的一个重要因素,其可能的联系机制是从南半球高纬到北半球东亚沿岸经向分布的正压遥相关. 研究中还发现在长江中下游的涝年,整个对流层中南半球春、夏两季有持续增温,这说明了南北半球的温度梯度减弱也是东亚夏季风减弱的原因之一.     

Analysis and modelling of rainfall fields at different resolutions in southern Italy

Abstract

The spatial and temporal variability of the scaling properties and correlation structure of a data set of rainfall time series, aggregated over different temporal resolutions, and observed in 70 raingauges across the Basilicata and Calabria regions of southern Italy, is investigated. Two types of random cascade model, namely canonical and microcanonical models, were used for each raingauge and selected season. For both models, different hypotheses concerning dependency of parameters on time scale and rainfall height can be adopted. In particular, a new approach is proposed which consists of several combinations of models with a different scale dependence of parameters for different temporal resolutions. The goal is to improve the modelling of the main features of rainfall time series, especially for cases where the variability of rainfall changes irregularly with temporal aggregation. The results obtained with the new methodology showed good agreement with the observed data, in particular, for the summer months. In fact, during this season, rainfall heights aggregated at fine temporal resolutions (from 5 to 20 min) are more similar (relative to the winter season) to the values cumulated on 1 or 3 h (due to convective phenomena) and, consequently, the process of rainfall breakdown is nearly stationary for a range of finer temporal resolutions.

宝坻台地电观测的水文地质背景及其电阻率变化与降雨量和水位变化的关系

通过对宝坻台地电阻率与当地降水量以及该台深、浅井水位观测资料的相关性计算,并结合该地区水文地质和构造背景的分析,对该台十余年来地电阻率观测出现的缓慢下降的原因进行了研究。结果表明宝坻台地电阻率的长期缓慢下降主要与地下基岩背斜溶岩裂隙储水构造的含水量减少有关,而每年下半时段由降水集中引起的浅水位变化对地电阻率的短期变化具有影响。     

Field measurements of rainfall drop-size distribution,and the relationships between rainfall parameters and soil movement by rainsplash

Rainfall drop-size distributions were measured at a site in northern England using the ‘oflour-pellet’ technique. A relationship between intensity and kinetic energy is presented. Even at the low rainfall intensities observed (< 5 mm h^?1 average over an hour) measureable amounts of rainsplash movement took place, and these movements have been related to rainfall parameters.     

Occurrence,shape and movement of daily rainfall in the Huai Basin,China

The upper reaches of the Huai River in Central China are located in the East Asian monsoon region. Strong seasonality, as well as large interannual variability of rainfall, causes floods and an uneven supply of water. In order to conserve the water and mitigate the floods, dams and flood protection structures are constructed. Their design requires information about the rainfall. Daily observations from 1957 to 1986 from 78 rain gauges were used to study shape, orientation, movement and geographical and seasonal occurrence of storms in the 79 000 km² study area. The rainfall characteristics were described using graphical plots, cross‐ and autocorrelation. Storms larger than 50 mm/day were found to occur from February to November, whereas storms exceeding 350 mm/day were confined to the main rainfall season from late June to mid‐August. The southern part of the study area experienced a break in the rainfall season in late July, corresponding to the seasonal northward shift of the rain belt. A weekly periodicity of 7–8 days for rainfall was found during June–July, but not during August–September. During the whole period June–September, the spatial pattern of daily rainfall revealed an elongated shape, more pronounced during June–July than August–September. The rainfall area was orientated approximately from WSW to ENE during the whole period, and showed an anticlockwise rotation of about 16° per day during June–July. The cross‐correlation analysis revealed that the rainfall area moved about 100 km/day eastward. These results and an investigation of meteorological maps indicate that the spatial correlation pattern of daily rainfall is produced by cold fronts on the Mei‐Yu front. Suggestions are made as to how to use the results for the construction of design rainfalls in the study area. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exploring the effect of different time resolutions to calculate the rainfall erosivity factor R in Calabria,southern Italy

The rainfall erosivity factor R of the Universal Soil Loss Equation is a good indicator of the potential of a storm to erode soil, as it quantifies the raindrop impact effect on the soil based on storm intensity. The R‐factor is defined as the average annual value of rainfall erosion index, EI, calculated by cumulating the EI values obtained for individual storms for at least 22 years. By definition, calculation of EI is based on rainfall measurements at short time intervals over which the intensity is essentially constant, i.e. using so‐called breakpoint data. Because of the scarcity of breakpoint rainfall data, many authors have used different time resolutions (Δt = 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 min) to deduce EI in different areas of the world. This procedure affects the real value of EI because it is strongly dependent on Δt. In this contribution, after a general overview of similar studies carried out in different countries, the relationship between EI and Δt is explored in Calabria, southern Italy. The use of 17 139 storm events collected from 65 rainfall stations allowed the calculation of EI for different time intervals ranging from 5 to 60 min. The overall results confirm that calculation of EI is dependent on time resolution and a conversion factor able to provide its value for the required Δt is necessary. Based on these results, a parametric equation that gives EI as a function of Δt is proposed, and a regional map of the scale parameter a that represents the conversion factor for converting fixed‐interval values of (EI₃₀)_Δt to values of (EI₃₀)₁₅ is provided in order to calculate R anywhere in the region using rainfall data of 60 min.

乌梁素海湖冰晴天反照率日变化特征的统计模型比较和分析

乌梁素海湖冰晴天反照率日变化具有双峰特征,利用当地太阳高度角同经纬度和儒历的关系,归一化到北京时,依此表达湖冰反照率日变化规律.基于具有指数函数形式的拉普拉斯、高斯、耿贝尔和柯西4种概率密度分布函数建立线性组合模型,对日出后到日落前太阳高度角大于5°时段内的反照率日变化数据进行拟合,发现拉普拉斯密度分布函数组合是最佳统计模型.它既能拟合太阳高度角大于5°时间范围内反照率日变化曲线的双峰特征,又能反映太阳高度角大于15°时间范围内反照率日变化曲线双峰之间的U型分布.该模型不仅形式简单,而且意义明确：尺度参数约为日长的一半,双峰位置与日出时刻关系密切;同时能体现2个反照率峰值的不对称性.为发展不同地区湖冰反照率日变化参数化方案奠定基础.
