Although the isotopic composition of precipitation is widely used in global climate change studies, use of water vapour isotopes is considerably more limited. Here we present the results from 9 yr of atmospheric vapour measurements in the Eastern Mediterranean, at a site in Israel. The measurements show a strong mean seasonal cycle of about 4‰ in ¹⁸O (peaking around July). This seasonality could not be adequately explained by changes in surface interactions or in air mass trajectories, as usually invoked for variations in local precipitation. We could explain this cycle only as a combination of three components: (1) rainout effects; (2) temperature and relative humidity control of the initial vapour and (3) seasonal variations in the vertical mixing across the top of the planetary boundary layer. This last component is emphasized in the current study, and it was shown to be a significant factor in the seasonal cycle features. The measurements were also compared with an isotope-enabled GCM (CAM2) run, which exhibited a markedly different seasonal cycle. Such comparisons with vapour isotopes data could help in constraining models better.  相似文献

2007年4月利用黑碳仪（Aethalometer）、颗粒物在线观测仪（TEOM1400a）和现时天气现象传感器（PWD22）获得了大气细粒子中每5 min黑碳气溶胶（BC）浓度以及每30 min PM2.5浓度及大气能见度观测数据。结果发现：黑碳日均值浓度为7.4±2.9 μg·m－3,变化范围分别为2.1～11.6 μg·m－3。PM2.5日均值浓度为77.4±35.9 μg·m－3,浓度变化范围分别为29.6～183.3 μg·m－3。黑碳小时浓度变化具有2个明显的峰值,主要与机动车尾气排放密切相关。黑碳浓度与PM2.5浓度呈正相关,与大气能见度呈负相关,相关系数为分别为0.707和－0.529,表明黑碳是PM2.5中的重要组成部分,对大气能见度的影响较显著。  相似文献   

Prediction of salinity intrusion in the sheltered estuary of Terengganu River in Malaysia using 1-D empirical intrusion model     

LEE Hin Lee  TANGANG Fredolin  GISEN Jacqueline Isabell  SURATMAN Saim 《海洋学报(英文版)》2017,36(5):57-66

Generally one dimensional(1-D) empirical salinity intrusion model is limited to natural alluvial estuary. However,this study attempts to investigate its ability to model a sheltered alluvial estuary of the Terengganu River in Malaysia. The constructed breakwater at the mouth of the river shelters the estuary from direct influence of the open sea. The salinity density along the estuary was collected during the wet and dry seasons for scenarios before and after the constructed breakwater. Moreover, the freshwater discharges, tidal elevations and bathymetry data were also measured as model inputs. A good fit was demonstrated between simulated and observed variables,namely salinity distribution and intrusion length for both scenarios. Thus, the results show that 1-D empirical salinity model can be utilized for sheltered estuarine condition at the Terengganu Estuary, but with an appropriate determination of an initial point. Furthermore, it was observed that the salinity intrusion in the study area is largely dependent on the freshwater discharge rather than tidal elevation fluctuations. The scale of the salinity intrusion length in the study area is proportional to the river discharge of the –1/2 power. It was appeared that the two lines of the 1-D empirical salinity model and discharge power based equation fitted well to each other, with the average predicted minimum freshwater discharge of 150 m3/s is going to be required to maintain acceptable salinity levels during high water slack(HWS) near the water intake station, which is located at 10.63 km from river mouth.  相似文献   

Characteristics and Nonlinear Growth of the Singular Vector Related to a Heavy Rainfall Case over the Korean Peninsula     

Yonghan CHOI  Joowan KIM  Dong-Kyou LEE 《大气科学进展》2012,29(1):10-28

In this study,singular vectors related to a heavy rainfall case over the Korean Peninsula were calculated using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University-National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) adjoint modeling system.Tangent linear and adjoint models include moist physical processes,and a moist basic state and a moist total energy norm were used for the singular-vector calculations.The characteristics and nonlinear growth of the first singular vector were analyzed,focusing on the relationship between the basic state and the singular vector.The horizontal distribution of the initial singular vector was closely related to the baroclinicity index and the moisture availability of the basic state.The temperature-component energy at a lower level was dominant at the initial time,and the kinetic energy at upper levels became dominant at the final time in the energy profile of the singular vector.The nonlinear growth of the singular vector appropriately reflects the temporal variations in the basic state.The moisture-component energy at lower levels was dominant at earlier times,indicating continuous moisture transport in the basic state.There were a large amount of precipitation and corresponding latent heat release after that period because the continuous moisture transport created favorable conditions for both convective and nonconvective precipitation.The vertical propagation of the singular-vector energy was caused by precipitation and the corresponding latent heating in the basic state.  相似文献   

Late Quaternary glaciation in the Tianshan and implications for palaeoclimatic change: a review   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Xu, X., Kleidon, A., Miller, L., Wang, S., Wang, L. & Dong, G. 2009: Late Quaternary glaciation in the Tianshan and implications for palaeoclimatic change: a review. Boreas, 10.1111/j.1502‐3885.2009.00118.x. ISSN 0300‐9483. The Tianshan mountain range has been extensively and repeatedly glaciated during the late Quaternary. Multiple moraines in this region record the extent and timing of late Quaternary glacier fluctuations. The moraines and their ages are described in three sub‐regions: eastern, central and western Tianshan. Notable glacial advances occurred during marine oxygen isotope stages (MIS) 6, 4, 3, 2, the Neoglacial and the Little Ice Age (LIA) in these sub‐regions. Glaciers in western Tianshan advanced significantly also during MIS 5, but not in eastern and central Tianshan. The local last glacial maximum (llgm) of the three sub‐regions pre‐dated the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and occurred during MIS 4 in eastern and central Tianshan, but during MIS 3 in western Tianshan. The spatial and temporal distribution of the glaciers suggests that precipitation (as snow at high altitude) is the main factor controlling glacial advance in the Tianshan. The late Quaternary climate in the Tianshan has been generally cold–dry during glacial times and warm–humid during interglacial times. Between neighbouring glacial times, the climate has had a more arid tendency in eastern and central Tianshan. These palaeoclimatic conditions inferred from glacial landforms indicate important relationships between the mid‐latitude westerly, the Siberian High and the Asian monsoon.  相似文献   

Influence of Tropical Cyclone Landfalls on Spatiotemporal Variations in Typhoon Season Rainfall over South China     

Min-Hee LEE  Chang-Hoi HO  Joo-Hong KIM 《大气科学进展》2010,27(2):443-454

This study examined the impact of tropical cyclone (TC) landfalls on the spatiotemporal variations in the rainfall over South China for the period 1957–2005. The target region was selected to show the noteworthy contribution of TC landfalls to the total rainfall during the typhoon season (July–October). Two prevailing spatial variations in the rainfall were obtained from an EOF analysis. The first EOF mode displays singlesign variability over South China with an explained variance of 23.4%. The associated t...  相似文献   

Past and Future Changes in the Climate of Hong Kong          下载免费PDF全文

Over the years, the Hong Kong Observatory has carried out scientific studies to evaluate the observed climate trends and project the future climate in Hong Kong. Analysis of the meteorological observations at the observatory's headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui since 1885 reveals that the temperature rise in Hong Kong during the past 124 years is in accord with the global rising trend. The accelerated rising trend in the mean temperature in last few decades may be attributed to the anthropogenic influences, especially urbanization. A similar increasing trend is also observed for rainfall. Other observations such as increasing cloud amount and decreasing total global solar radiation are all consistent with the global trend. Studies of past occurrences of extreme temperature and rainfall have also been carried out. The results indicate that cold episodes have become rarer while very hot days and heavy rain events are becoming more frequent. The observatory also makes use of the data from the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and employs statistical downscaling techniques to carry out projections of temperature and precipitation in the 21st century. It is found that the rise in temperature in Hong Kong will be slightly higher than the global mean in the 21st century. The annual rainfall in Hong Kong is also expected to rise by the end of the 21st century, so is its year-to-year variability.  相似文献

A seasonally ''dry'' interglacial climate in eastern England during the early Middle Pleistocene: palaeopedological and stable isotopic evidence from Pakefield, UK   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The pedology and the isotope geochemistry of the early Middle Pleistocene interglacial 'rootlet bed' at Pakefield, eastern England, record the climate when this unit accumulated. Horizons of nodular pedogenic calcrete indicate the existence of a strongly seasonal precipitation regime that produced a pronounced net soil moisture deficit during which secondary carbonate was precipitated. The isotopic composition of these nodules confirms the seasonality of annual precipitation, as this indicates that intense soil moisture evaporation was a major mechanism in secondary carbonate formation. The climatic interpretation is enhanced by the palaeoecology of the unit that indicates average summer temperatures significantly warmer than those of the present. The climate of this period was, therefore, different from that of the present day in terms of both temperature and the seasonality of precipitation. Although it has previously been shown that certain interglacial periods in northwest Europe were warmer than the Holocene, this is the first study to show that the precipitation regime of one such episode may also have been significantly different.  相似文献   

CCSD主孔高Ti榴辉岩非耦合的高Ti、低Nb（Zr）特征：对玄武质岩浆房中磁铁矿分离结晶作用的指示   总被引：7，自引：7，他引：7

利用XRF和HR-ICP-MS对中国大陆科学钻探工程(CCSD)主孔<700m深度高Ti榴辉岩进行了准确分析研究。结果表明高Ti榴辉岩以TFeO和Eu异常之间的相关性及非耦合的高TiO2(2.4-5.7%)、低Nb(<5.5μg/g)和Zr(<98μg/g)为特征。而且,这些榴辉岩的TiO2、V和TFeO之间正相关。高场强元素(Ti、Nb、Zr等)在不同矿物和玄武岩/安山岩熔体之间的分配系数研究表明,高Ti和低Nb、Zr之间的非耦合变化必须有磁铁矿结晶作用的参与才能够出现。斜长石的密度(p=2.61-2.76g/cm3)低于正常玄武岩熔体(p=2.8-3.0g/cm3),因此玄武岩岩浆房中结晶出的斜长石在岩浆演化早期不会和熔体分离而形成堆晶岩。磁铁矿的密度(p=5.1-5.2g/cm3)远远高于玄武岩熔体。磁铁矿的结晶分离会显著降低玄武岩熔体的局部密度而诱发斜长石晶体分离下沉并形成富集斜长石的高Fe堆晶岩。这种机制很好地解释了高Ti榴辉岩所具有的TFeO和Eu异常之间的相关性及非耦合的高TiO2(2.4-5.7%)、低Nb(<5.5μg/g)和Zr(<98μg/g)特征。本文研究表明在CCSD中的高Ti榴辉岩原岩应是由同一玄武岩岩浆房中富磁铁矿结晶作用形成的堆晶岩。高Ti榴辉岩的Ti矿化本质上源于磁铁矿结晶作用,而与其经历的超高压变质作用无关。  相似文献
