Spatial and temporal variability of winter and summer precipitation over Serbia and Montenegro 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
I. Tošić 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2004,77(1-2):47-56
Summary The main characteristics of the spatial and temporal variability of winter and summer precipitation observed at 30 stations in Serbia and Montenegro were analysed for the period 1951–2000. The rainfall series were examined spatially by means of Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF) and temporally by means of the Mann-Kendall test and spectral analysis. The Alexandersson test was used to detect the inhomogeneity of the data set.The EOF analysis gave three winter and summer dominant modes of variations, which explained 89.7% and 70.4% of the variance, respectively. The time series associated with the first pattern showed a decreasing trend in winter precipitation. The spectral analysis showed a 16-year oscillation for the dominant winter pattern, around a 3-year oscillation for the dominant summer pattern, and a quasi-cycle of 2.5 years for the winter third pattern. 相似文献

Summary An objective classification of the precipitation field over the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands is obtained. Data
are derived from a high-resolution daily precipitation dataset obtained from in-situ measurements. The dataset, Iberian monthly
Precipitation Dataset (IPD), consists of monthly precipitation data over a 25 km × 25 km grid from 1st January 1961 to 31st December 2003. Therefore, 960 data series over the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands are disposed over the grid
for 43-year period. Multi-resolution wavelet analysis is used to extract similar information in the precipitation field at
different timescales. An objective classification of the obtained wavelet coefficient series is carried out by means of the
Kohonen’s neural network, also named Self-Organizing Map (SOM). SOM is formed by an unsupervised learning algorithm that may
be used to find clusters of similar events in the input data and is able to identify some underlying dynamic structures of
the multi-dimensional datasets. SOM is applied to the wavelet coefficients for intramonthly, intermonthly and interannual
oscillations, obtaining self-organised maps which objectively identify similar zones of precipitation behaviour over the Iberian
Peninsula. The homogeneity of the patterns is also studied by means of non-parametric correlations, energy scalograms and
tests of significance. The intramonthly, intermonthly and interannual waves resulted in seven, five and three SOM patterns,
respectively. As timescale increases, the wavelet series coefficients tend to be highly clustered. The results indicate that
as the oscillation frequencies decrease, the Iberian precipitation behaves more linearly. 相似文献

EOF/PCA诊断气象变量场问题的新探讨 总被引：13，自引：3，他引：10
进一步论证了经验正交函数/主分量分析(EOF/PCA)在气象变量场诊断中的物理内涵,证明基于EOF/PCA的R型和Q型展开,可描述为气象变量场主要振荡型分解和主要空间分布型分解两种方案.前者表明,气象变量场的准周期振荡可分解为各主分量的周期振荡,它们各自等价于不同网格点(或站点)以其载荷为权重的迭加周期振荡,因此,气象变量场准周期振荡可视为来自不同周期源(网格点或站点)的准周期振荡逐层叠加的结果;后者表明,气象变量场的水平空间分布可视为各种主要空间分布型的叠加,而Q型展开才是对各种主要空间分布型的正交分解.由此深化了EOF/PCA气象变量场诊断的物理内涵. 相似文献

Fire is a dominant ecological factor in Mediterranean ecosystems, and changes in the fire regime can have important consequences for the stability of our landscapes. In this framework I asked firstly, what is the trend in fire number and area burned in the eastern Iberian Peninsula, and then, to what extent is the inter-annual variability of fires determined by climatic factors. To answer these questions I analysed the meteorological data (temperature and precipitation) from 350 stations covering the eastern Iberian Peninsula (1950–2000), and the fire records for the same area (historical data, 1874–1968, and data from recent decades, 1968–2000). The results suggested a slight tendency towards decreasing summer rainfall and a clear pattern of increasing annual and summer temperatures (on average, annual temperatures increased 0.35 °C per decade from 1950 to 2000). The analysis of fire records suggested a clear increase in the annual number of fires and area burned during the last century; however, in the last three decades the number of fires also increased but the area burned did not show a clear trend. For this period the inter-annual variability in area burned was significantly related to the summer rainfall, that is, in wet summers the area burned was lower that in dry summers. Furthermore, summer rainfall was significantly cross-correlated with summer area burned for a time-lag of 2 years, suggesting that high rainfall may increase fuel loads that burn 2 years later. 相似文献

We present the first winter (December to March) rainfall reconstruction based in a novel proxy, the thickness of annual calcite laminations preserved in Lake La Cruz (central–eastern Spain). A previous calibration analysis between laminae thickness and the instrumental data series (1950 to present) indicated a highly significant correlation with winter rainfall. Therefore this study attempts the winter rainfall reconstruction since the onset of laminations (1579 a.d.) by means of the calibration function previously developed. The verification analysis between inferred annual values and earlier instrumental data (1859–1949) confirms the suitability of this novel proxy and the reliability of the series reconstructed. The reconstructed series show the fluctuating character of winter rainfall in the western Mediterranean area; interdecadal dry periods alternated with wetter periods following, in a board sense, the pattern recorded by documentary sources in other regions of the Iberian Peninsula. At present times regional winter rainfall anomalies are highly correlated with the phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). However the time series analysis showed the dominance of nonstationary components at high frequencies of the climate signal over the last four centuries suggesting that the connection between winter rainfall and the NAO has not been stable over time and also other modes of variability, not only NAO, may have conditioned winter rainfall variability. 相似文献

Monthly mean surface-air temperatures at 870 sites in the contiguous United States were analyzed for interannual and interdecadal variability over the time interval 1910-87. The temperatures were analyzed spatially by empirical-orthogonal-function analysis and temporally by singularspectrum analysis (SSA). The dominant modes of spatio-temporal variability are trends and nonperiodic variations with time scales longer than 15 years, decadal-scale oscillations with periods of roughly 7 and 10 years, and interannual oscillations of 2.2 and 3.3 years. Together, these modes contribute about 18% of the slower-than-annual United States temperature variance. Two leading components roughly capture the mean hemispheric temperature trend and represent a long-term warming, largest in the southwest, accompanied by cooling of the domain's southeastern quadrant. The extremes of the 2.2-year interannual oscillation characterize temperature differences between the Northeastern and Southwestern States, whereas the 3.3-year cycle is present mostly in the Western States. The 7- to 10-year oscillations are much less regular and persistent than the interannual oscillations and characterize temperature differences between the western and interior sectors of the United States. These continental- or regional-scale temperature variations may be related to climatic variations with similar periodicities, either global or centered in other regions; such variations include quasi-biennial oscillations over the tropical Pacific or North Atlantic and quasi-triennial oscillations of North Pacific sea-surface temperatures.The U.S. Government right to retain a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence in and to any copyright is acknowledged. 相似文献

Summary The Iberian Peninsula is one of the regions in the world with higher occurrence of cut-off low systems (COL). The aim of this
paper is to analyse the weather events (rainfall and cloudiness layer) associated to COLs in the Iberian Peninsula with tools
not previously used: (a) the use of the new multidecadal COLs database developed by Nieto et al (2005) that permit us to study
a 41 years period (1958–1998), (b) the checking of the expected weather events (rainfall and cloudiness layer) associated
with COLs in a conceptual model (Winkler et al, 2005) and (c) the extensive use of radiosoundings to analyse convective instability
in areas inside and close to the COL. Two points of view are used to make the analysis: (1) a source oriented method, when
a particular COL is followed and its associated precipitation and cloudiness is analysed over four quadrants in which Iberia
was divided and (2) a receptor oriented method, when the precipitation associated to COLs is analysed in given areas, defined
by patterns of precipitation. Results reveal that the precipitation and cloudiness patterns associated to COLs in the conceptual
model reproduce quite well the main characteristics found over the Iberian Peninsula. The generalized idea that most of the
COLs produce intense convective rainfall is show to be misleading. Convective phenomena are important usually when the centre
of the COL is located on the Mediterranean region. Most of the rainfall associated with COLs comes from the baroclinic shield;
specially in cases located over the west half of the Iberian Peninsula. It is shown that nearly 30% of COLs do not induce
any rainfall; most of them located in the southern half of the Peninsula, and mainly during autumn. Only 30% of COLs produce
generalized rainfall over the whole analysed territory, being most of them (about 90%) located over the western half of the
Iberian Peninsula. 相似文献

Downscaling GCM information to regional scales: a non-parametric multivariate regression approach 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) model was used to capture the observed relationships between sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies over the Euro-Atlantic sector and the winter time (December–February) monthly rainfall at eight sites in Portugal; possible anthropogenic changes of the rainfall in a perturbed future climate were then estimated by using both the observed SLP-rainfall relationships, described by MARS models, and the GCM simulated SLP, taken from the output of the Hadley Centre Transient Climate Change Experiment (UKTR). Also, principal component analysis was carried out to reduce the dimensionality of the SLP data, and to assess the ability of the GCM in simulating the large-scale circulation; the first six principal components were retained as predictors in the MARS model. The MARS model were built up by using the data for 1946–1991 as the training set and that for 1901–1943 as the testing set, showing satisfactory prediction skills. It is concluded that the UKTR control simulation successfully reproduced main features of the large-scale circulation, but the observed relationship between SLP and the regional rainfall was not well preserved. With respect to the 54-year experiment of perturbed run, the MARS estimation of rainfall and the relevant direct GCM rainfall output possess similar multi-annual variations; however, there are substantial differences regarding details; the change in the area mean of winter time mean monthly rainfall in Portugal estimated by MARS (indirect GCM output) is about –12.7 mm per 54-year, and the relevant direct GCM output is –16.9 mm/54-year. This reduction tendency is consistent with previously reported findings respecting rainfall in the Iberian Peninsula, which were based on the MPI (Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology) transient simulations. 相似文献

This paper is focused on the study of rainfall yield characteristics of electrical storms observed over the Northern Iberian Peninsula during 1992–1996. To this aim Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) method have been used. The SOM method is a group of artificial neural networks based on the topological properties of the human brain. Results clearly suggest that there exist three different meteorological patterns that are linked to the characteristics of electrical events found in the study area. In winter, most of the electrical events are formed under oceanic advection (NW air fluxes). On these cases, mean rainfall yield estimates reach values of 700 104 m3 per cloud to ground lightning flash (CG flash). During summer most frequent electrical storms are associated to local instability shooting by surface heating with advection of humidity coming from the Iberian Peninsula. Under these meteorological situations, rain is scarcer if compared with oceanic events but lightning CG counts reach the maximum values found in the area (about 10 CG counts per 20 × 20 km2 and day) giving this way the smallest rainfall yield with a mean value of 15 104 m3 per CG flash. Iberian air fluxes associated with cold air in upper parts of the atmosphere represent the third meteorological pattern found. This pattern is most common in spring and autumn but is not unusual in the rest of the seasons. In those cases mean rainfall yield in the area is about 150 104 m3 per CG flash. In all electrical episodes K instability index is greater than 15 °C but in the most lightning producing events, this index reaches in the area values greater than 24 °C. PCA results pointed out that there exists a relationship between rain and CG counts expressed by the first principal component computed from standardized data. However, we must notice that no event is solely linked to this axis, since a seasonal influence which decreases lightning production when rain increases is always present. Results found are of great interest for short term forecasting of flashfloods in mountainous areas like the Spanish Basque Country region. 相似文献

By the use of space-time spectral analysis and band-pass filter, some of the features of the medium-range Oscillations in the summer tropical easterlies (10oS-20o) at 200 hPa are investigated based on a two-year (1980 and 1982) wind (u, v) data set for the period from May to September. Space-time power spectral analysis shows that the total energy of the westward moving waves was the largest and that of the standing waves and eastward moving waves was relatively small in the 200 hPa easterlies; the total energy of the eastward moving waves was at minimum at 10oN. Three kind of the medium-range oscillations with about 50 day, 25 day and quasi-biweekly periods were found in the easterlies, which all show a remarkable interannual variation and latitudinal differences in these two years. The wave energy of zonal wind is mainly associated with the planetary waves (1-3), which all may make important contributions to the 50 day and 25 day oscillations in different years or different latitudes. The quasi-biweekly oscillation is mainly related to the synoptic waves (4-6). In equatorial region, the 50 day oscillation was dominant with a eastward phase propagation in 1982 while the dominant oscillation in 1980 was of 25day period with a westward phase propagations in 1980. Both of them are of the mode of zonal wavenumber 1. Strong westward 50 day oscillation was found in 10oN-20oN in these two years. Regular propagations of the meridional wind 50 day oscillation were also found in the easterlies.The 50 day and 25 day oscillation of zonal wind all demonstrate southward phase propagation over the region of the South Asia monsoon and northward phase propagation near interational date line, where are the climatic mean position of the tropical upper-tropospheric easterly jet and the tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT), respectively. 相似文献

Interannual and Interdecadal Variability of Winter Precipitation over China in Relation to Global Sea Level Pressure Anomalies 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
Based on the method of rotated principal component (RPC) analysis and wavelet transforms, the win-ter precipitation from 36 stations over China for the period 1881-1993 is examined. The results show thatthe three leading space-time modes correspond, in sequence, to winter rainfall anomalies over the reaches ofthe Yangtze River, the bend of the Yellow River, and the northeastern region of China. The three modes ex-hibit interannual oscillations with quasi-biennial and 8-year periods as well as interdecadal oscillationswith 16- and 32-year periods. The interannual oscillation (＜ 10 years) occurs in phase over the differentareas, and its maximum amplitude migrates northward considerably with prominent interdecadal variations.However, the interdecadal oscillations (10-32 years) are out of phase over the different regions, and theamplitude variations have the characteristics of stationary waves.The rainfall anomalies appear to be closely re lated to the anti-phase changes of mean sea-level pres-sure (SLP) over the Asian mainland and the North Pacific. When the SLP rises over the North Pacific anddecreases over the Asian mainland, the precipitation over East China increases noticeably. The linkage be-tween the rainfall over China and the SLP anomalies apparently results from the strength of the East Asianwinter monsoon and its associated temperature and moisture advection. 相似文献

The flow structure on a gentle slope at Vallon dOl in the northern suburbs of Marseille in southern France has been documented by means of surface wind and temperature measurements collected from 7 June to 14 July 2001 during the ESCOMPTE experiment. The analysis of the time series reveals temperature and wind speed oscillations during several nights (about 60--90 min oscillation period) and several days (about 120–180 min oscillation period) during the whole observing period. Oscillating katabatic winds have been reported in the literature from theoretical, experimental and numerical studies. In the present study, the dynamics of the observed oscillating katabatic winds are in good agreement with the theory.In contrast to katabatic winds, no daytime observations of oscillating anabatic upslope flows have ever been published to our knowledge, probably because of temperature inversion break-up that inhibits upslope winds. The present paper shows that cold air advection by a sea breeze generates a mesoscale horizontal temperature gradient, and hence baroclinicity in the atmosphere, which then allows low-frequency oscillations, similar to a katabatic flow. An expression for the oscillation period is derived that accounts for the contribution of the sea-breeze induced mesoscale horizontal temperature gradient. The theoretical prediction of the oscillation period is compared to the measurements, and good agreement is found. The statistical analysis of the wind flow at Vallon dOl shows a dominant north-easterly to easterly flow pattern for nighttime oscillations and a dominant south-westerly flow pattern for daytime oscillations. These results are consistent with published numerical simulation results that show that the air drains off the mountain along the maximum slope direction, which in the studied case is oriented south-west to north-east. 相似文献

The areas of the Iberian Peninsula with Mediterranean climate are characterised by rainfall irregularity. Standard statistical estimation methods provide a limited insight of all the dimensions of such irregularity. Based on different techniques to describe the inter-annual irregularity of rainfall, the authors develop a new method: the disparity indices. These indices are then applied to several historical rainfall series (dating from the end of the nineteenth century up to the present) from the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Similar rainfall irregularity patterns are found in all weather stations in the studied area, confirming their belonging to the same climatic region. The results indicate a relative stability during the first third of the twentieth century, coinciding with a period of low precipitation and a progressive increase during the last three decades. The use of a new index named specific disparity index has proven be useful in highlighting the irregularity within the rainfall series at each meteorological station. This new index could contribute to monitor future changes in precipitation within the general framework of research on climate change. Although Mediterranean ecosystems are adapted to important fluctuations in the rainfall regime, this increase in irregularity may affect rivers, wetlands and the hygrophytic vegetation. 相似文献

Analysis of data from seventeen rainfall stations in the Iberian Peninsula, Balearic Islands and Northern Africa has revealed
significant El Ni?o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) signals in Europe. Both North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Southern Oscillation
(SO) exert an influence on Iberian climate, but at different temporal and spatial scales. Though most of the peninsula is
under NAO influence in winter, some stations in the eastern region show no connection with this phenomenon. The same is found
for ENSO, with a positively correlated region appearing in the eastern part of Spain, while the rest of the peninsula remains
insensitive. The correlation between ENSO and Iberian rainfall has increased towards the end of the present century, with
strong positive signals spanning over half of the area studied. The percentage of springtime variability due to ENSO has similarly
increased, reaching up to 50% in certain areas.
We also show how there are outstanding climatic sensors of these phenomena such as Lake Gallocanta, which manifests a positive
response to ENSO while appears insensitive to NAO. Common long-term patterns are observed between SOI and an inferred lake
level series, suggesting a constant influence of the low-frequency component of ENSO throughout the period considered. Lake
drying phases every 14 years reflect the impact of this signal, approximately every four ENSO events.
