Stable isotope composition of precipitation from Pamba River basin, Kerala, India, is evaluated to understand the role of spatial and temporal variations on rainwater isotope characteristics. Physiographically different locations in the basin showed strong spatial and temporal variations. δ ¹⁸O varied from ?7.63 to ?1.75 ‰ in the lowlands; from ?9.32 to ?1.94 ‰ in the midlands and from ?11.6 to ?4.00 ‰ in the highlands. Local Meteoric Water Lines (LMWL) for the three regions were determined separately and an overall LMWL for the whole of the basin was found to be δ ²H = 6.6 (±0.4) δ ¹⁸ O+10.4 (±2.0). Altitude effect was evident for the basin (0.1 ‰ for δ ¹⁸O and 0.8 ‰ for δ ²H per 100 m elevation), while the amount effect was weak. The precipitation formed from the marine moisture supplied at a steady rate, without much isotopic evolution in this period may have masked the possible depletion of heavier isotopes with increasing rainfall. Consistently high d-excess values showed the influence of recycled vapour, despite the prevailing high relative humidity. The oceanic and continental vapour source origins for the south-west and north-east monsoons were clearly noted in the precipitation in the basin. Rayleigh distillation model showed about 30% rainout of the monsoon vapour mass in the basin.  相似文献

由腾格里沙漠东南缘沙坡头附近新月形沙丘表面沉积物的系统采集分析结果,发现从北部沙漠主体向黄河南岸,沙丘沙平均粒径变细但分选变差。同时,粒径及分选性在沙丘断面出现两种变化模式,其一是沙漠主体新月形沙丘由两侧坡部向丘顶区域粒径变细分选变好;其二为黄河两岸阶地和湖盆滩地的新月形沙丘丘顶沙粒粗于其它部位但分选仍然最好。根据粒度参数间的相互关系和其它环境条件的分析,对沙丘沙粒度变化的原因及偏度等也作了初步探讨。  相似文献   

The 30–60-day oscillation in the East Asian summer monsoon and its time-dependent association with the ENSO     

By KYUNG-SOOK YUN  BAOHUA REN  KYUNG-JA HA  JOHNNY C. L. CHAN  JONG-GHAP JHUN 《地球，A辑:动力气象学与海洋学》2009,61(5):565-578

Based on 30–60-day oscillation in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM), the relationship between its northward propagation and ENSO (El Niño and Southern Oscillation) was investigated. To explicitly describe the 30–60-day monsoonal evolution, an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis was carried out on the temporal-latitude section of the longitudinal average for 115°E–120°E. The principal 30–60-day EASM mode captures a northward propagation of well-organized intraseasonal oscillation (NISO). Using the associated time series of the first mode, we found a significant lagged correlation between interannual variability of the NISO and ENSO. Its lagged correlations with NINO indices have a quasi-biennial (QB) characteristic through the preceding summer and the concurrent summer. Their relationship was found by the regression analysis relating the low-level circulation to the ocean temperature. The western North Pacific anticyclone and the anticyclone-induced easterly vertical wind shear anomalies induce the dynamical linkage between the NISO and QB-type ENSO. It is shown that the NISO is more closely tied with QB-type ENSO in its phase than in its amplitude, and may be connected to the anomalous easterly wind and the eastward evolution of an oceanic Kelvin wave, which is associated with abrupt ENSO transition. The predictability on ENSO and NISO is examined through the canonical correlation analysis.  相似文献   

A study on the factors affecting the stable isotopic composition in precipitation of Tamil Nadu,India

Stable isotope measurements in precipitation help us to form the basic inference about the origin and the state of water in different environments. The precipitation samples collected during the South West Monsoon (SWM) during August 2007 from 37 different locations in the state help in deriving the first preliminary local meteoric water line (LMWL) for the Tamil Nadu State. The study reveals that there are three main sources of water vapours, namely South East Arabian Sea (SEAS), Indian Ocean (IO) and evaporation from local water bodies. There are wide variations in the altitude and amount of rainfall received in the state. It is also noted that there is a significant variation in the latitude and the distance from the coast. Hence, an attempt is made in this paper to study the factors controlling the composition of stable isotopes in precipitation with reference to amount of rainfall, latitude, altitude and the continental effect. The altitude and continental effect shows good correlation to the variations in stable isotope composition. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

ROLE OF EQUATORIAL PACIFIC OCEAN SUBSURFACE OCEANIC TEMPERATURE MODE IN ENSO CYCLE   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

Based on the simple ocean data assimilation (SODA) reanalysis dataset from the University of Maryland and the method of Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOF), the characteristics of interannual and interdecadal variabilities of the equatorial Pacific subsurface oceanic temperature anomaly (SOTA) are captured. The first and second modes of the equatorial Pacific SOTA in the interannual and interdecadal variations are found respectively and the effect of the second mode on the ENSO cycle is discussed. Results show that the first mode of SOTA’s interannual and interdecadal variabilities exhibit a dipole pattern, indicating that the warm and cold temperature anomalies appear simultaneously in the equatorial subsurface Pacific. The second mode shows coherent large-scale temperature anomalies in the equatorial subsurface Pacific, which is a dominant mode in the evolution of ENSO cycle. The temporal series of the second mode has a significant lead correlation with the Ni?o-3.4 index, which can make a precursory prediction signal for ENSO. The function of this prediction factor in SOTA is verified by composite and case analyses.  相似文献

在系统梳理扎达盆地、尼泊尔Thakkhola半地堑盆地、吉隆—沃马盆地、乌郁盆地磁性地层研究成果的基础上, 对古地磁年代所代表的地质事件进行了对比和分析, 认为藏南及邻区各近南北向裂谷盆地自形成以来均发育2次明显的沉积变动事件, 第一次为距今10.6~8.1 Ma期间各盆地分别开始接受沉积, 第二次为距今3.5~2.0 Ma各湖盆的连续消亡; 总结高原的气候变化可以发现, 高原在距今约8 Ma及3 Ma左右也有明显的2次气候变化, 即沉积事件与气候变化事件在时间上具有近同时性。扎达盆地、吉隆—沃马盆地、达涕盆地三趾马化石的时代都处于距今7.0~6.5 Ma之间, 也具有近同时性。结合高原的整体演化, 认为其可能在距今10.6~8.1 Ma、3.5~2.0 Ma发生了2期比较强烈的隆升运动。同时, 分析指出了青藏高原南部及邻区晚新生代盆地磁性地层研究过程中存在的问题及解决方法, 并对今后青藏高原南部及邻区地区晚新生代磁性地层研究提出了建议。   相似文献   

Tsunami Inundation Modelling for the Coast of Kerala,India

The disastrous tsunami of December 26, 2004, exposed the urgent need for implementing a tsunami warning system. One of the essential requirements of a tsunami warning system is the set up of tsunami inundation models which can predict inundation and run-up along a coastline for a given set of seismic parameters. The Tsunami Warning Centre and the State/District level Disaster Management Centres should have tsunami inundations maps for different scenarios of tsunami generation. In the event of a tsunamigenic earthquake, appropriate decisions on issue of warnings and/or evacuation of coastal population are made by referring to such maps. The nature of tsunami inundation and run-up along the Kerala coast for the 2004 Sumatra and 1945 Makran, and a hypothetical worst-case scenario are simulated using the TUNAMI N2 model and the results are presented in this paper. Further, scenarios of tsunami inundation arising out of possible rise in sea level as projected by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2001) are also simulated and analysed in the paper. For the study, three representative sectors of the Kerala coast including the Neendakara-Kayamkulam coast, which was the worst hit by the 2004 tsunami, are chosen. The results show that the southern locations and certain locations of central Kerala coast are more vulnerable for Sumatra when compared to Makran 1945 tsunami. From the results of numerical modelling for future scenarios it can be concluded that sea level rise can definitely make pronounced increase in inundation in some of the stretches where the backshore elevation is comparatively low.  相似文献   

Snowstorm over the Southwestern Coast of the Korean Peninsula Associated with the Development of Mesocyclone over the Yellow Sea   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Ki-Young HEO  Kyung-Ja HA 《大气科学进展》2008,25(5):765-777

This study investigates the characteristics of a heavy snowfall event over the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula on 4 December 2005. The snowstorm was a type of mesoscale maritime cyclone which resulted from barotropic instability, and diabatic heating from the warm ocean in continental polar air masses. Based on surface observations, radiosonde soundings, MTSAT-1R satellite data and the 10-km grid RDAPS （Regional Assimilation and Prediction System based on the PSU/NCAR MM5） data, the evolution of the mesocyclone is explained by the following dynamics; （1） In the initial stage, the primary role in the cyclogenesis process of the mesocyclone is a barotropic instability in the horizontal shear zone. （2） In the developing stage, the mesocyclone moves and deepens into a baroclinic zone corresponding to the surface heating and moistening. （3） In the mature stage, it is found that the mesocyclone is intensified by the destabilization caused by enhanced low-level heating and condensation, the moisture flux convergence, and the interaction between upper and lower-level potential vorticity anomalies. We suggest that a checklist with stepwise indicators responsible for development be prepared for the forecasting of heavy snowfall over the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula.  相似文献
