Three sampling cross sections along the south path starting from the Tropics through the vapor passage in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the middle-low reaches of the Yangtze River, the north path from West China, via North China, to Japan under the westerlies, and the plateau path from South Asia over the Himalayas to the northern Tibetan Plateau, are set up, based on the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)/WMO global survey network and sampling sites on the Tibetan Plateau. The variations, and the relationship with precipitation and temperature, of the δ18O in precipitation along the three cross sections are analyzed and compared. Along the south path, the seasonal differences of mean δ18O in precipitation are small at the stations located in the Tropics, but increase markedly from Bangkok towards the north, with the δ18O in the rainy season smaller than inthe dry season. The δ18O values in precipitation fluctuate on the whole, which shows that there are different vapor sources. Along the north path, the seasonal differences of the mean δ18O in precipitation for the stations in the west of Zhengzhou are all greater than in the east of Zhengzhou. During the cold half of the year, the mean δ18O in precipitation reaches its minimum at Urumqi with the lowest temperature due to the wide, cold high pressure over Mongolia, then increases gradually with longitude, and remains at roughly the same level at the stations eastward from Zhengzhou. During the warm half of the year, the δ18O values in precipitation are lower in the east than in the west, markedly influenced by the summer monsoon over East Asia. Along the plateau path, the mean δ18O values in precipitation in the rainy season are correspondingly high in the southern parts of the Indian subcontinent, and then decrease gradually with latitude. A sharp depletion of the stable isotopic compositions in precipitation takes place due to the very strong rainout of the stable isotopic compositions in vapor in the process of lifting over the southern slope of the Himalayas. The low level of the δ18O in precipitation is from Nyalam to the Tanggula Mountains during the rainy season,but δ18O increases persistently with increasing latitude from the Tanggula Mountains to the northern Tibetan Plateau because of the replenishment of vapor with relatively heavy stable isotopic compositions originating from the inner plateau. During the dry season, the mean δ18O values in precipitation basically decrease along the path from the south to the north. Generally, the mean δ18O in precipitation during the rainy season is lower than in the dry season for the regions controlled by the monsoons over South Asia or the plateau, and opposite for the regions without a monsoon or with a weak monsoon.  相似文献   

Relationships between δ¹⁸O in summer precipitation and temperature and moisture trajectories at Muztagata, western China     

Yu Wusheng  Yao Tandong  Tian Lide  Li Zhen  Sun Weizhen  Wang Yu 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2006,49(1):27-35

Based on summer observations of stable isotope of precipitation at Muztagata, western China, during 2002-2003, this paper presents the relationship between δ ¹⁸O in precipitation and air temperature, and discusses the effect of moisture transport on δ ¹⁸O in precipitation. Results show that air temperature correlates positively with δ ¹⁸O in precipitation, and the temperature effect controls the δ ¹⁸O of precipitation in this area. The Muztagata region exhibits high δ ¹⁸O values in summer precipitation, similar to those shown at stations in adjacent regions. According to the results of our model set up to trace the moisture trajectories, the westerlies and local moisture circulation contribute to variations of oxygen isotopes in precipitation. In addition, the impacts of the moisture transport distance, the moisture transport level, and the incursion of the polar air mass also influence the variations of δ ¹⁸O in precipitation. The moisture origins and transport mechanisms also contribute to the variation of δ ¹⁸O in precipitation at Muztagata.  相似文献   

南亚季风降水的双极振荡^*   总被引：1，自引：2，他引：1

文章利用气象资料揭示在印度半岛南部和北部,南亚季风降水变化在10年尺度以上呈翘翘板变化形式;利用更长的季风降水资料,即300年的喜马拉雅山达索普冰芯降水记录和印度半岛南部石笋降水记录,发现印度南部和喜马拉雅山季风降水呈双极振荡行为。自1700年以来,喜马拉雅山,即印度北部(或印度半岛南部)季风降水经历了1700~1764年期间的减小(或增加)趋势,1764~1876年期间的增大(或减小)趋势,1876~2000年期间的减小(或增加)趋势。同时,发现印度半岛南部的季风降水同北半球温度变化具有相同的变化特征,而喜马拉雅山季风降水同北半球温度变化具有相反的变化特征。南亚季风降水的这种南北翘翘板变化形式,与跨赤道气流有密切的联系。  相似文献

The temporal and spatial variation on the stable isotopic compositions in precipitation and the relationship with temperature,precipitation and vapor sources are analyzed for the Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent regions.There is no temperature effect in the southern Tibetan Plateau and South Asia.Amount effect has been observed at a few sampling stations that account for about a half of the statistical stations.However,the seasonal variations on the stable isotopic compositions in precipitation at those stations are inconsistent with that of precipitation intensity.There is notable temperature effect in the middle and northern Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent Northwest China.It has been observed that the seasonal variations of the δ¹⁸O in precipitation are almost consistent with those of air temperature in these regions.Because vapor is directly originated from lowlatitude oceans,the relative heavy δ¹⁸O with small variation characterizes the rainfall in South Asia.A sharp depletion of the stable isotopic compositions in precipitation takes place from Kyangjin on the southern slop of the Himalayas to the Tanggula Mountains in the middle Plateau.The δ¹⁸O reaches minimum due to very strong rainout of the vapor from oceans as the vapor rises over the Himalayas.From the Tanggula Mountains to the northern Tibetan Plateau,the δ¹⁸O in precipitation increases with increasing latitude and the is otopic situation in the northern Plateau istransferred into Northwest China with little disruption.  相似文献   

Linkage of liquid conductivity of glacier ice with its alkalinity over the north Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau     

Cunde Xiao  Tandong Yao  Dahe Qin  Seko Katsumoto  Jianchen Pu  Wenkun Sheng 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2002,45(4):300-310

Liquid conductivity (EC) measurement was conducted for the samples collected from several snow pits and ice cores over the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau, with their time range covering seasonal, decadal and centennial scales. Unlike the previous attention mostly focused on the acidity (H⁺) responding to the solid conductance (ECM) of glacial ice, we introduce the alkalinity (OH⁻) of snow and ice to show how it responds to EC. Strong linear relationship was established between EC and OH⁻ for these snow pits and ice cores. Positive correlation is also established between EC and major cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺). Since the cations are known as the proxies for the intensity of mineral dust influx onto glaciers of the northern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, we believe that EC could be used as an indicator for the history of dust input in deep ice core study. In fact, records in Guliya ice core since the Little Ice Age (LIA) indicate that dust load in glacier may depend on the combination of temperature and humidity. “Cold-dry” combination favors the dust arising, and results in higher EC and OH⁻ values, while “warm-wet” combination prevents dust form and EC and OH⁻ values are lower. In the past century, with the atmospheric warming and precipitation increasing over the northern plateau, which means an atmospheric condition of dust decreasing, both EC and OH⁻ displayed rapid decline.  相似文献

Based on the ENSO chronology and climatic information recovered from the Guliya ice core in the Tibetan Plateau, China, the ENSO teleconnection was investigated. The results showed that the negative precipitation anomalies are significantly associated with El Niño years but poorly with negative anomaly of ¹⁸O. Thus, the ice core records can be used as an archive of extremely global climate anomalies such as ENSO events.  相似文献

Examination of ENSO events and the accumulated precipitation and δ~(18)O values recorded in theGuliya ice core,China,shows that the relationship between the occurrence of ENSO events and theprecipitation anomaly in Guliya is significant.In the years of El Nino events,the anomalies ofprecipitation and δ~(18)O values in the Guliya ice core were negative anomalies,that is,the ENSO eventsare related to the deficit of precipitation as well as low temperature in the western China.  相似文献

根据GAME-Tibet加强观测期间 (1998年5~9月) 所得到的位于青藏高原唐古拉山北坡的D105站和南坡的WADD站夏季风降水资料, 对唐古拉山南北坡夏季风降水特征进行了初步的对比分析.结果表明两地夏季风降水频率较高.在1998年6月25日~9月19日, WADD站的降水量比D105站的降水量多48.8%, 而发生的降水次数在WADD站比D105站多10次, 两者的累积降水次数基本上差不多.同时, WADD站平均降水强度高于D105站.这两地的夏季风降水存在明显的活跃期和中断期, 7月中旬夏季风降水都不活跃.大多数情况下, 这两地的日降水量的变化有较为一致的趋势, 表明两地降水可能受同一降水过程的控制.9月初以后, 夏季风降水已明显减弱.  相似文献
