Solar radiation modification (SRM, also termed as geoengineering) has been proposed as a potential option to counteract anthropogenic warming. The underlying idea of SRM is to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the atmosphere and surface, thus offsetting some amount of global warming. Here, the authors use an Earth system model to investigate the impact of SRM on the global carbon cycle and ocean biogeochemistry. The authors simulate the temporal evolution of global climate and the carbon cycle from the pre-industrial period to the end of this century under three scenarios: the RCP4.5 CO2 emission pathway, the RCP8.5 CO2 emission pathway, and the RCP8.5 CO2 emission pathway with the implementation of SRM to maintain the global mean surface temperature at the level of RCP4.5. The simulations show that SRM, by altering global climate, also affects the global carbon cycle. Compared to the RCP8.5 simulation without SRM, by the year 2100, SRM reduces atmospheric CO2 by 65 ppm mainly as a result of increased CO2 uptake by the terrestrial biosphere. However, SRM-induced change in atmospheric CO2 and climate has a small effect in mitigating ocean acidification. By the year 2100, relative to RCP8.5, SRM causes a decrease in surface ocean hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) by 6% and attenuates the seasonal amplitude of [H+] by about 10%. The simulations also show that SRM has a small effect on globally integrated ocean net primary productivity relative to the high-CO2 simulation without SRM. This study contributes to a comprehensive assessment of the effects of SRM on both the physical climate and the global carbon cycle.摘要太阳辐射干预地球工程是应对气候变化的备用应急措施. 其基本思路是通过减少到达大气和地表的太阳辐射, 从一定程度上抵消温室效应引起的全球变暖. 本研究使用地球系统模式模拟理想化太阳辐射干预方法对海洋碳循环的影响. 模拟试验中, 通过直接减少太阳辐射将RCP8.5 CO2排放情景下的全球平均温度降低到RCP4.5情景下的温度. 模拟结果表明, 到2100年, 相对于RCP8.5情景, 减少太阳辐射通过增加陆地碳汇, 使大气CO2浓度降低了65 ppm. 减少太阳辐射对海洋酸化影响很小. 到 2100 年, 相对于RCP8.5情景, 减少太阳辐射使海表平均氢离子浓度减少6%, pH上升0.03, 同时使海表平均氢离子浓度的季节变化振幅衰减约10%. 模拟结果还表明, 减少太阳辐射对全球海洋净初级生产力的影响较小. 本研究有助于深化我们对太阳辐射干预地球工程的气候和碳循环效应的认知和综合评估.  相似文献

The authors explore the response of the Northern African (NAF) monsoon to orbital forcing in the Last Interglacial (LIG) compared with its response to greenhouses gas (GHG) forcing under the SSP5-8.5 scenario simulated in CMIP6. When the summer surface air temperature increases by 1 °C over the Northern Hemisphere, the NAF monsoon precipitation and its variability during the LIG increase by approximately 51% and 22%, respectively, which is much greater than under SSP5-8.5 (2.8% and 4.3%, respectively). GHG forcing enhances the NAF monsoon mainly by increasing the atmospheric moisture, while the LIG's orbital forcing intensifies the NAF monsoon by changing the monsoon circulation. During the LIG, models and data reconstructions indicate a salient hemispheric thermal contrast between the North and South Atlantic, strengthening the mean-state NAF monsoon precipitation. The interhemispheric temperature contrast enhances atmosphere–ocean interaction and the covariability of the northward sea surface temperature gradient and Saharan low, strengthening the NAF monsoon variability.摘要与人为强迫引起的全球变暖相比, 末次间冰期是轨道强迫引起的过去80万年来最暖的一个间冰期, 但鲜有人研究末次间冰期中北非季风的响应. 因此, 本文基于CMIP6多模式模拟结果对比研究了末次间冰期和SSP5–8.5情景下北非季风的响应, 发现末次间冰期下北非季风平均降水及其降水变率均远大于SSP5–8.5情景下的结果. 轨道强迫导致的北大西洋暖于南大西洋增加了北非季风环流和平均降水, 同时, 南北大西洋海温梯度变化通过增强热带北大西洋的海气相互作用增大了海温梯度和撒哈拉低压的变率, 从而增强了北非季风降水变率.  相似文献

Coordinated numerical ensemble experiments with six different state-of-the-art atmosphere models were used to evaluate and quantify the impact of global SST (from reanalysis data) on the early winter Arctic warming during 1982–2014. Two sets of experiments were designed: in the first set (EXP1), OISSTv2 daily sea-ice concentration and SST variations were used as the lower boundary forcing, while in the second set (EXP2) the SST data were replaced by the daily SST climatology. In the results, the multi-model ensemble mean of EXP1 showed a near-surface (~850 hPa) warming trend of 0.4 °C/10 yr, which was 80% of the warming trend in the reanalysis. The simulated warming trend was robust across the six models, with a magnitude of 0.36–0.50 °C/10 yr. The global SST could explain most of the simulated warming trend in EXP1 in the mid and low troposphere over the Arctic, and accounted for 58% of the simulated near-surface warming. The results also suggest that the upper-tropospheric warming (~200 hPa) over the Arctic in the reanalysis is likely not a forced signal; rather, it is caused by natural climate variability. The source regions that can potentially impact the early winter Arctic warming are explored and the limitations of the study are discussed.摘要本文使用六个不同的最新大气模式进行了协调数值集合实验, 评估和量化了全球海表面温度 (SST) 对1982–2014年冬季早期北极变暖的影响.本研究设计了两组实验:在第一组 (EXP1) 中, 将OISSTv2逐日变化的海冰密集度和SST数据作为下边界强迫场;在第二组 (EXP2) 中, 将逐日变化的SST数据替换为逐日气候态.结果表明: (1) EXP1的多模式集合总体平均值显示0.4 °C/10年的近地表 (约850 hPa) 升温趋势, 为再分析数据结果中升温趋势的80%. (2) 在这六个模式中, 模拟的变暖趋势均很强, 幅度为0.36–0.50 °C/10年. (3) 全球海表温度可以解释北极对流层中低层EXP1的大部分模拟的变暖趋势, 占再分析数据结果的58%. (4) 再分析数据结果中, 北极上空的对流层上层变暖 (约200 hPa) 不是由强迫信号而可能是由自然气候变率引起的.本文还探索了影响北极初冬变暖的可能源区, 并讨论了该研究的局限性.  相似文献

Seasonal snow is sensitive to climate change, and is always taken as a signal of local climate changes. As changes in snow differ locally in their characteristics, it is necessary to detect the effects of snow on different land cover types. The middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere are located in a vast area of seasonal snow, experiencing snow accumulation and snowmelt stages each year. This study found that selected land cover types (open shrubland, evergreen needleleaf forest, and mixed forest) possess unique relationship curves between the snow cover fraction and snow depth. This has resulted in the northward shrinking of open shrubland and expansion of evergreen needleleaf forest and mixed forest, thereby further modulating local ecological systems. However, such changes in the snow process are not reproduced well by model parameterizations, and a faster melting process in the snowmelt stage will occur owing to the effects of global warming not being properly considered in such parametrization schemes. This inability to properly simulate the change in the snow process will affect the understanding of the ecological impacts of snowmelt in spring.摘要季节性降雪对气候变化很敏感, 常被当作气候变化的信号. 由于其局地特征差异显著, 不同下垫面类型的积雪过程也不尽相同. 北半球中高纬度的典型下垫面 (开阔灌丛, 常绿针叶林和混交林) 在积雪覆盖率和雪深之间有着独特的关系曲线, 这种关系不仅代表了积雪过程和融雪过程的特征变化, 更能用于模式进行积雪预测. 研究发现, 北半球中高纬度的增温改变了积雪参数化关系, 进一步影响了局地能量和水循环, 造成开阔灌丛的北缩和常绿针叶林及混交林的扩张. 然而, 目前模式中的积雪参数化并不能很好地再现全球变暖影响下融雪阶段出现的加速融化过程, 并且进一步影响对春季融雪的生态影响的理解.  相似文献

With its rapid rise in temperatures and accelerated urbanization in recent decades, eastern China may be affected by both global warming and the urban heat island effect. To investigate the influence of anthropogenic forcing and urbanization on extreme temperature, the authors conducted detection and attribution analyses on 16 extreme indices using extended observational data during 1958–2020 and the models that participated in CMIP5 and CMIP6. The extended observational data till 2020 show continued warming in extreme temperatures in recent years. Most of the indices display an increase in warm extremes and decrease in cold extremes. Both CMIP5 and CMIP6 models are able to reflect these warming features, albeit the models can over- or underestimate some extreme indices. The two-signal detection with anthropogenic and urbanization effects jointly considered showed that the anthropogenic and urban signals can be simultaneously detected and separated only in two frequency indices, i.e., the frequency of warm and cold nights. The anthropogenic forcing explains about two-thirds of the warming, while URB contributes about one-third for these two indices. For most of the other indices, only the anthropogenic signal can be detected. This indicates that the urban signal is distinct from the natural variability mainly for the nighttime frequency indices but not for the other extreme temperature indies. Given the important influence of nighttime extremes on human health, this suggests an urgent need for cities to adapt to both global warming and urbanization.摘要作为中国经济最发达的地区, 中国东部受到城市热岛效应和温室气体排放等人类活动的明显影响. 本文利用最新的观测和全球气候模式资料, 对极端温度强度, 频率和持续时间等16个极端温度指数进行了检测归因分析, 研究了人为强迫和城市化效应对中国东部极端温度变化的影响. 结果表明, 近年来极端温度持续增暖, 极端暖事件增加, 极端冷事件减少. 新一代全球气候模式能够合理地反映这些变暖特征, 但是部分模式可能高估或低估了观测到的变化. 基于最优指纹方法的双信号检测表明, 人为信号和城市化效应只能在暖夜和冷夜两个频率指标上同时被检测并分离, 其变化约三分之二可归因于人类活动, 剩余的三分之一可归因于城市化效应. 而在极端温度其他指数的变化中, 只有人类活动的影响能够被检测到.  相似文献

The regional air quality modeling system RAMS-CMAQ was applied to simulate the aerosol concentration for the period 2045–2050 over China based on the downscaled meteorological field of three RCP scenarios from CESM (NCAR's Community Earth System Model) in CMIP5. The downscaling simulation of the meteorological field of the three RCP scenarios showed that, compared with that under RCP2.6, the difference in near-surface temperature between North and South China is weakened and the wind speed increases over North and South China and decreases over central China under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Under RCP2.6, from 2045 to 2050, the modeled average PM2.5 concentration is highest, with a value of 40–50 µg m−3, over the North China Plain, part of the Yangtze River Delta, and the Sichuan Basin. Meanwhile, it is 30–40 µg m−3 over central China and part of the Pearl River Delta. Compared with RCP2.6, PM2.5 increases by 4–12 µg m−3 under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, of which the SO42− and NH4+ concentration increases under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5; the NO3− concentration decreases under RCP4.5 and increases under RCP8.5; and the black carbon concentration changes very slightly, and organic carbon concentration decreases, under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, with some increase over part of Southwest and Southeast China under RCP8.5. The difference between RCP4.5 and RCP2.6 and the difference between RCP8.5 and RCP2.6 have similar annual variation for different aerosol species, indicating that the impact of climate change on different species tends to be consistent.摘要基于来自于 CMIP5 中 CESM 模式的三种 RCP 情景下的气象场的降尺度模拟, 应用区域空气质量模式系统 RAMS-CMAQ 模拟 2045-2050 年中国地区气溶胶浓度.三种 RCP 情景下气象场的降尺度模拟表明, 与 RCP2.6 相比, 在 RCP4.5 和 RCP8.5 下, 华北和华南的近地表温度差减小, 风速在华北和华南地区增加, 在中部地区下降. RCP2.6 情景下, 模拟的 2045 年到 2050 年平均的 PM 2.5浓度在华北平原, 长三角的部分地区和四川盆地最高, 约为 40-50 µg m–3, 在中国中部和珠三角的部分地区约为 30-40 µg m–3. 与 RCP2.6 相比, 在 RCP4.5 和 RCP8.5 下, PM2.5增加了 4-12 µg m–3, 其中在 RCP4.5 和 RCP8.5 下, SO42–和 NH4+的浓度增加, 在 RCP4.5 下, NO3–浓度降低, 在 RCP8.5 下, NO3–浓度升高, 在 RCP4.5 和 RCP8.5 下, BC 浓度变化很小, 而 OC 浓度下降, 其中在 RCP8.5 下, 西南和东南部分地区的 OC 有所增加.不同的气溶胶物种浓度在 RCP4.5 和 RCP2.6 之间的差异以及 RCP8.5 和 RCP2.6 之间的差异具有相似的年度变化, 这表明气候变化对不同物种的影响趋于一致.  相似文献

The ocean's thermal inertia is a major contributor to irreversible ocean changes exceeding time scales that matter to human society. This fact is a challenge to societies as they prepare for the consequences of climate change, especially with respect to the ocean. Here the authors review the requirements for human actions from the ocean's perspective. In the near term (～2030), goals such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be critical. Over longer times (～2050–2060 and beyond), global carbon neutrality targets may be met as countries continue to work toward reducing emissions. Both adaptation and mitigation plans need to be fully implemented in the interim, and the Global Ocean Observation System should be sustained so that changes can be continuously monitored. In the longer-term (after ～2060), slow emerging changes such as deep ocean warming and sea level rise are committed to continue even in the scenario where net zero emissions are reached. Thus, climate actions have to extend to time scales of hundreds of years. At these time scales, preparation for “high impact, low probability” risks — such as an abrupt showdown of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, ecosystem change, or irreversible ice sheet loss — should be fully integrated into long-term planning.摘要在全球变化背景下, 海洋的很多变化在人类社会发展的时间尺度上 (百年至千年) 具有不可逆转性, 海洋巨大的热惯性是造成该不可逆性的主要原因. 这个特征为人类和生态系统应对海洋变化提出一系列挑战. 本文从海洋变化的角度总结了人类应对气候变化的要求, 提出需要进行多时间尺度的规划和统筹. 在近期 (到2030年) , 实现联合国可持续发展目标至关重要. 在中期 (2050–2060年前后) , 全球需要逐步减排并实现碳中和目标. 同时, 适应和减缓气候变化的行动和措施必须同步施行; 全球海洋观测系统需要得以维持并完善以持续监测海洋变化. 在远期 (在2060年之后) , 即使全球达到净零排放, 包括深海变暖和海平面上升在内的海洋变化都将持续, 因此应对全球变化的行动需持续数百年之久. 在该时间尺度, 应对“低概率, 高影响”气候风险 (即发生的可能性较低, 但一旦发生影响极大的事件带来的风险, 例如: 大西洋经圈反转环流突然减弱, 海洋生态系统跨过临界点, 无可挽回的冰盖质量损失等) 的准备应充分纳入长期规划.  相似文献

China has been frequently affected by severe snowstorms in recent years that have particularly large economic and human impacts. It is thus of great importance to increase our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of and future changes in snowfall occurrences over China. In this study, the effects of anthropogenic influences on snowfall and the associated future changes are explored using new simulations from CMIP6 (phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) models. Observational evidence reveals a decrease in the annual total snowfall days and an increase in intense snowfall days over the snowfall-dominated regions in China during recent decades. Fingerprints of anthropogenic influences on these changes are detectable, especially the impacts of increased greenhouse gas emissions. During the winter seasons, low temperatures still cover the regions of northern China, and the associated precipitation days show an increase due to anthropogenic warming, which substantially benefits the occurrence of snowfall over these regions, particularly for intense snowfall events. This is also true in the future, despite rapid warming being projected. By the end of this century, approximately 23% of grids centered over northern China are projected to still experience an increase in daily intense snowfall events in winters. Additionally, the length of the snowfall season is projected to narrow by nearly 41 days compared to the current climate. Thus, in the future, regions of China, especially northern China, are likely to experience more intense snowfall days over a more concentrated period of time during the winter seasons.摘要近年来, 中国部分地区频繁遭遇极端降雪事件袭击, 造成巨大经济损失和人员伤亡. 因此, 亟需深入理解中国地区极端降雪变化的物理机制及其未来演变趋势, 为国家防灾减灾及气候变化应对措施制定提供科学依据. 本文基于CMIP6模式结果, 深入开展人类活动对中国地区降雪变化的影响及其未来演变趋势预估研究. 观测显示, 过去几十年在中国降雪频发区, 其年降雪日数呈现减少趋势但强降雪日数增加; 在这些变化中能够检测到人类活动的痕迹, 尤其是温室气体排放的影响. 对于冬季, 全球变暖背景下中国北方地区降水日数明显增加, 但北方地区仍为低温控制, 这有利于降雪尤其是强降雪事件的发生; 到了本世纪末, 中国仍有约23%的区域 (主要集中在北方地区) 其冬季强降雪日数呈现增加趋势. 此外, 中国地区降雪季长度相比当前气候减少了约41天. 因此, 在未来持续变暖背景下, 中国北方部分地区冬季将经历更多更为集中的强降雪事件.  相似文献

Over the past three decades, the drawdown of atmospheric CO2 in vegetation and soil has fueled net ecosystem production (NEP). Here, a global land-surface model (CABLE) is used to estimate the trend in NEP and its response to atmospheric CO2, climate change, biological nitrogen (N) fixation, and N deposition under future conditions from 2031 to 2100 in the Belt and Road region. The trend of NEP simulated by CABLE decreases from 0.015 Pg carbon (C) yr?2 under present conditions (1936–2005) to ?0.023 Pg C yr?2 under future conditions. In contrast, the trend in NEP of the CMIP6 ensemble changes from 0.014 Pg C yr?2 under present conditions to ?0.009 Pg C yr?2 under future conditions. This suggests that the trend in the C sink for the Belt and Road region will likely decline in the future. The significant difference in the NEP trend between present and future conditions is mainly caused by the difference in the impact of climate change on NEP. Considering the responses of soil respiration (RH) or net primary production (NPP) to surface air temperature, the trend in surface air temperature changes from0.01°C yr?1 under present conditions to 0.05°C yr?1 under future conditions. CABLE simulates a greater response of RH to surface temperature than that of NPP under future conditions, which causes a decreasing trend in NEP. In addition, the greater decreasing trend in NEP under future conditions indicates that the C–climate–N interaction at the regional scale should be considered. It is important to estimate the direction and magnitude of C sinks under the C neutrality target.摘要目前, 在区域尺度, NEP趋势变化的强度和影响机制还存在很大的不确定性. 针对这一问题, 我们选取了一带一路覆盖的区域为研究对象, 基于全球陆面模式 (CABLE)和第六次国际耦合模式比较计划 (CMIP6), 评估了历史和未来NEP趋势的变化, 分析了影响的机制. 从过去到未来, CABLE结果表明NEP的趋势从 0.015 Pg C yr?2 减少到 –0.023 Pg C yr?2; CMIP6结果为从0.014 Pg C yr?2转变为–0.009 Pg C yr?2. 气候变化是引起这一变化的主因. 我们的研究结果强调了碳-气候-氮相互作用的重要性, 这对碳中和目标下碳汇潜力的准确估算尤为重要.  相似文献

Southeast China has comparable stratus cloud to that over the oceans, especially in the cold seasons (winter and spring), and this cloud has a substantial impact on energy and hydrological cycles. However, uncertainties remain across datasets and simulation results about the long-term trend in low-cloud cover in Southeast China, making it difficult to understand climate change and related physical processes. In this study, multiple datasets and numerical simulations were applied to show that low-cloud cover in Southeast China has gone through two stages since 1980—specifically, a decline and then a rise, with the turning point around 2008. The regional moisture transport plays a crucial role in low-cloud cover changes in the cold seasons and is mainly affected by the Hadley Cell in winter and the Walker Circulation in spring, respectively. The moisture transport was not well simulated in CMIP6 climate models, leading to poor simulation of the low-cloud cover trend in these models. This study provides insights into further understanding the regional climate changes in Southeast China.摘要中国东南地区在冬春冷季节盛行低云, 对局地能量平衡和水文循环有重要的作用. 本研究使用多套数据和数值模拟结果, 分析这一地区冷季节内低云云量在1980年至2017年的长期变化. 结果表明, 低云云量经历了先下降后上升的趋势变化, 转折点出现在2008年左右. 局地水汽通量输送在影响低云云量的变化中起着至关重要的作用, 其在冬季和春季分别受到哈德莱环流和沃克环流的影响. CMIP6中的气候模式对水汽通量输送的模拟能力欠佳, 影响了对低云云量的模拟结果.  相似文献

Sugarcane provides around 80% of the world's sugar production and is also one of the most efficient bioenergy crops. China is the third largest sugarcane-producing country in the world, and skillful simulation of the sugarcane yield in China is thus vital for global production and the trade of sugar and ethanol. Global Gridded Crop Models (GGCMs) are commonly used to predict global and regional crop yield as well as to assess the impacts of climate, environment, and agronomic management changes and feedbacks of crop growth. So far, two GGCMs (CLM5-crop and LPJmL) have been able to model sugarcane, but their performance in China remains unknown. In this study, the authors comprehensively evaluated the sugarcane yield simulations of these two models for the period 1980–2009 using the crop yield statistics collected from the National Bureau of Statistics of China. Results showed that these two models substantially underestimate the multi-year average sugarcane yield, with simulated yields less than one quarter of observations. In addition, CLM5-crop successfully simulates the spatial pattern, while LPJmL does not. In terms of temporal variability, the two models can reproduce the significant upward trend for the national average and in most provinces, but underestimate the magnitude. They also fail to simulate the pattern of interannual variability. The two models underestimate the sugarcane yield partly because they incorrectly set the sugarcane yield coming from the grain as other grain crops, which is inconsistent with the fact that the stem is harvested.摘要中国是全球第三大甘蔗生产国, 中国甘蔗产量模拟可服务于全球食糖和乙醇的生产和贸易. 全球格点作物模式CLM5-crop和LPJmL已实现对甘蔗的模拟, 但它们在中国的模拟能力未知. 本文评估结果表明: 两个模式均严重低估了甘蔗产量, 模拟均不足观测的1/4. CLM5-crop能有技巧地模拟产量的空间分布特征, 而LPJmL不能. 两个模式均不能合理模拟产量的年际变化, 且低估了产量的上升趋势. 模式低估甘蔗产量的部分原因是模式假设收割的是甘蔗的穗而非茎.  相似文献

The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), a dominant mode of the equatorial stratospheric (~100–1 hPa) variability, is known to impact tropospheric circulation in the middle and high latitudes. Yet, its realistic simulation in general circulation models remains a challenge. The authors examine the simulated QBO in the 69-layer version of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics Atmospheric General Circulation Model (IAP-AGCML69) and analyze its momentum budget. The authors find that the QBO is primarily caused by parameterized gravity-wave forcing due to tropospheric convection, but the downward propagation of the momentum source is significantly offset by the upward advection of zonal wind by the equatorial upwelling in the stratosphere. Resolved-scale waves act as a positive contribution to the total zonal wind tendency of the QBO over the equator with comparable magnitude to the gravity-wave forcing in the upper stratosphere. Results provide insights into the mechanism of the QBO and possible causes of differences in models.摘要平流层准两年振荡 (QBO) 是赤道平流层 (~100–1 hPa) 变率的主要模态, 可对中高纬地区的环流产生重要影响, 但目前利用通用大气环流模式 (GCM) 对其进行准确模拟仍然是一个挑战.本文利用IAP大气环流模式 (IAP-AGCM) 的中高层大气模式版本 (IAP-AGCML69) 对QBO进行模拟, 并对其动量收支情况进行分析.研究发现, QBO主要是由对流活动引起的重力波强迫 (参数化) 引起的, 但该动量强迫被平流层赤道上升流所引起的平流过程显著削弱.模式可分辨尺度的波动强迫对赤道上空的QBO的总纬向风倾向有正贡献, 在上平流层, 其量值大小与参数化的重力波强迫相当.以上结果提供了对QBO形成机制以及模式模拟差异可能原因的认识.  相似文献

Stemming from the multi-scale interactions of various processes, long-term memory (LTM) has become a well-recognized property in the climate system. Whether a dynamic model can reproduce the observed LTM is a widely used criterion for model evaluation, especially regarding its ability in simulating natural variabilities. While many works have shown poor model skill in simulating the LTM of land surface air temperature (LSAT), it is not yet known whether CMIP6 models offer any improvement. In this study, the performances of 60 CMIP6 models in simulating the LTM characteristics in LSAT were evaluated. Results showed that most models reproduced the LTM in the global-mean LSAT, among which AWI-ESM-1-1-LR and E3SM-1-0 performed best. All 60 models reproduced the variation in LTM with latitude. CNRM-CM6-1 and HadGEM3-GC31-LL performed best in simulating the LTM of LSAT at the global scale. The multi-model mean (MMM) performed better than any single model. The biases of the MMM and CRUTEM5, and among the 60 models, were significant in the equatorial and coastal regions, which may be attributable to the simulation differences of the models in terms of their ocean–atmosphere coupling processes.摘要利用去趋势涨落分析 (DFA) 方法计算序列的长程记忆性 (LTM) , 以CRUTEM5数据集的结果作为观测参照, 评估了60个参与第六次国际耦合模式比较计划 (CMIP6) 的气候模式对地表气温LTM的再现能力. 结果表明: 大部分模式可以再现全球平均地表气温序列的LTM特征, 其中AWI-ESM-1-1-LR和E3SM-1-0的模拟效果最好; 60个模式均能模拟LTM随纬度带的变化; 综合来说, 全球水平上CNRM-CM6-1和HadGEM3-GC31-LL对地表气温LTM的模拟性能最好; 多模式平均相比单一模式模拟性能更好; 多模式平均与观测结果的偏差以及模式之间的模拟差异显著体现在赤道和沿海区域, 这种偏差可能源于模式对海气耦合过程的模拟差异.  相似文献

The response of the warming magnitude over the Tibetan Plateau (TP; elevation ≥ 3000 m) to global climate change is not spatially uniform. Rather, it enhances with elevation, referred to as elevation-dependent warming (EDW). The degree of EDW over the TP is season-dependent, with the largest amplitude of 0.21°C km−1 observed during boreal winter. Several factors have been proposed in previous studies as possible drivers of TP EDW, but the relative importance of these factors has been less studied. To quantitatively identify the major drivers of TP EDW in winter over recent decades (1979–2018), the authors applied the radiative kernels diagnostic method with several datasets. The results robustly suggest that, the surface albedo feedback associated with changes in snow cover plays the leading role in TP EDW. Observations show that the snow cover has reduced significantly over regions with high elevation during the winters of the past four decades, leading to reductions in outgoing shortwave radiation and thus EDW.摘要青藏高原 (海拔≥ 3000 m 地区) 对全球气候变化的变暖响应是空间不均匀的, 其增温幅度会随着海拔升高而增大, 被称为海拔依赖性增温. 青藏高原海拔依赖性增温具有季节依赖性, 在冬季最为显著, 达0.21°C km−1. 在以往的研究中, 众多因素被认为是青藏高原海拔依赖性增温的可能驱动因素, 但关于这些因素相对重要性的研究较少. 基于多个数据集, 本文应用辐射核 (radiative kernel) 技术方法定量诊断了近几十年 (1979–2018年) 冬季不同物理过程对青藏高原海拔依赖性增温的贡献. 结果表明, 与积雪变化相关的地表反照率反馈在其中起主导作用. 观测数据分析显示, 在过去40年的冬季,高海拔地区的积雪覆盖率显著减少, 导致地表反射的短波辐射减少, 从而促进了海拔依赖性增温.  相似文献

Classical monsoon dynamics considers the winter/spring snow amount on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) as a major factor driving the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) for its direct influence on the land–sea thermal contrast. Actually, the TP snow increased and decreased after the late 1970s and 1990s, respectively, accompanying the two major interdecadal changes in the EASM. Although studies have explored the possible mechanisms of the EASM interdecadal variations, and change in TP snow is considered as one of the major drivers, few studies have illustrated the underlying mechanisms of the interdecadal changes in the winter TP snow. This study reveals a tripole pattern of change, with decreased winter precipitation over the TP and an increase to its north and south after the late 1990s. Further analyses through numerical experiments demonstrate that the tropical Pacific SST changes in the late 1990s can robustly affect the winter TP precipitation through regulating the Walker and regional Hadley circulation. The cooling over the tropical central-eastern Pacific can enhance the Walker circulation cell over the Pacific and induce ascending motion anomalies over the Indo-Pacific region. These anomalies further drive descending motion anomalies over the TP and ascending motion anomalies to the north through regulating the regional Hadley circulation. Therefore, the positive–negative–positive winter precipitation anomalies around the TP are formed. This study improves the previously poor understanding of TP climate variation at interdecadal timescales.摘要在20世纪70年代和90年代末, 伴随着东亚夏季风的两次主要年代际变化, 高原积雪分别显著增加和减少. 尽管很多学者研究了东亚夏季风年代际变化的可能机制, 高原积雪变化也被认为是主要因素之一, 但是关于高原冬季积雪本身发生年代际变化的潜在机制尚鲜有研究. 本文揭示了20世纪90年代末高原及周边冬季降水的三极子变化特征: 高原主体上空主要为降水减少, 其南北两侧区域降水增加. 数值试验结果表明, 热带太平洋海温变化可以通过调节沃克环流和局地哈德莱环流, 对上述三极子降水变化型态产生显著影响.  相似文献

The active layer thickness (ALT) in permafrost regions, which affects water and energy exchange, is a key variable for assessing hydrological processes, cold-region engineering, and climate change. In this study, the authors analyzed the variation trends and relative changes of simulated ALTs using the Chinese Academy of Sciences Land Surface Model (CAS-LSM) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Flexible Global Ocean–Atmosphere–Land System Model, gridpoint version 3 (CAS-FGOALS-g3). Firstly, the simulated ALTs produced by CAS-LSM were shown to be reasonable by comparing them with Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring observations. Then, the authors simulated the ALTs from 1979 to 2014, and their relative changes across the entire Northern Hemisphere from 2015 to 2100. It is shown that the ALTs have an increasing trend. From 1979 to 2014, the average ALTs and their variation trends over all permafrost regions were 1.08 m and 0.33 cm yr−1, respectively. The relative changes of the ALTs ranged from 1% to 58%, and the average relative change was 10.9%. The variation trends of the ALTs were basically consistent with the variation trends of the 2-m air temperature. By 2100, the relative changes of ALTs are predicted to be 10.3%, 14.6%, 30.1%, and 51%, respectively, under the four considered hypothetical climate scenarios (SSP-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5). This study indicates that climate change has a substantial impact on ALTs, and our results can help in understanding the responses of the ALTs of permafrost due to climate change.摘要在气候变化背景下, 活动层厚度的变化会对多年冻土区水文,生态,寒区工程等产生较大的影响.本研究利用中科院气候系统模式CAS-FGOALS-g3和陆面过程模式CAS-LSM 模拟分析了活动层厚度的变化趋势和相对变化.结果表明:活动层厚度整体上呈现出增加的趋势.1979 - 2014年, 多年冻土区活动层厚度的区域平均为1.08 m, 变化趋势为0.33 cm yr−1, 其变化趋势与2 m气温变化趋势基本一致, 相对变化范围为1%-58%, 平均为10.9%.在未来四种不同的气候情景(SSP-2.6,SSP2-4.5,SSP3-7.0和SSP5-8.5)下, 到2100年预计活动层厚度的相对变化分别为10.3%,14.6%,30.1%和51%.  相似文献

2019 was one of the hottest years in recent decades, with widespread heatwaves over many parts of the world, including Africa. However, as a developing and vulnerable region, the understanding of recent heatwave events in Africa is limited. Here, the authors incorporated different climate datasets, satellite observations, and population estimates to investigate patterns and hotspots of major heatwave events over Africa in 2019. Overall, 2019 was one of the years that experienced the strongest heatwaves in terms of intensity and duration since 1981 in Africa. Heatwave hotspots were clearly identified across western-coastal, northeastern, southern, and equatorial Africa, where major cities and human populations are located. The proportion of urban agglomerations (population) exposed to extreme (99th percentile) heatwaves in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere rose from 4% (5 million people) and 15% (17 million people), respectively, in the baseline period of 1981–2010 to 36% (43 million people) and 57% (53 million people), respectively, in 2019. Heatwave patterns and hotspots in 2019 were related to anomalous seasonal change in atmospheric circulation and above-normal sea surface temperature. Without adaptation to minimize susceptibility to the effects of heatwave events, the risks they pose in populated areas may increase rapidly in Africa.摘要2019 年是近几十年来最热的年份之一, 包括非洲在内的全球许多地区都受到大范围的热浪侵袭. 然而, 非洲作为脆弱的发展中地区, 我们对其近年热浪事件的了解非常有限. 本研究中, 我们结合了不同的气候数据集, 卫星观测资料和人口数据, 研究了 2019 年非洲地区主要热浪事件发生的时空特征和热点分布区. 总体而言, 2019 年是非洲地区自 1981 年以来热浪强度最强, 持续时间最久的年份之一. 在主要城市和人口所在的非洲西海岸, 东北部, 南部和赤道地区是热浪发生的热点区. 位于赤道以北的非洲地区, 暴露于极端 (第 99 个百分位) 热浪的城市人口比例从 1981–2010 年基准期的 4% (500 万人) 上升至2019 年的 36% (4300 万人). 位于赤道以南地区, 暴露于极端热浪的城市人口则从基准期的15% (1700 万人) 上升至57% (5300 万人). 2019 年的热浪时空特征和热点分布与大气环流的季节变化异常和海温的暖异常有关. 如果不及时采取适应措施以尽量减少人口对热浪事件影响的敏感性, 热浪对非洲人口稠密地区构成的风险可能会迅速增加.  相似文献
