Regional drought frequency analysis was carried out in the Poyang Lake basin (PLB) from 1960–2014 based on three standardized drought indices: the standardized precipitation index (SPI), the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and the standardized Palmer drought index (SPDI). Drought events and characteristics were extracted. A Gumbel–Hougaard (GH) copula was selected to construct the bivariate probability distribution of drought duration and severity, and the joint return periods (T _a ) were calculated. Results showed that there were 50 (50 and 40) drought events in the past 55 years based on the SPI (SPEI and SPDI), and 9 (8 and 10) of them were severe with T _a more than 10 years, occurred in the 1960s, the 1970s and the 2000s. Overall, the three drought indices could detect the onset of droughts and performed similarly with regard to drought identification. However, for the SPDI, moisture scarcity was less frequent, but it showed more severe droughts with substantially higher severity and longer duration droughts. The conditional return period (Ts|d) was calculated for the spring drought in 2011, and it was 66a and 54a, respectively, based on the SPI and SPDI, which was consistent with the record. Overall, the SPI, only considering the precipitation, can as effectively as the SPEI and SPDI identify the drought process over the PLB under the present changing climate. However, drought is affected by climate and land-cover changes; thus, it is necessary to integrate the results of drought frequency analysis based on different drought indices to improve the drought risk management.  相似文献

非洲中东部地区的经济主要依靠自给农业支撑,该地区农业经济对降水的变化尤为敏感.本文以卢旺达为例,观测分析指出卢旺达的次季节降雨主要集中在10-25天;根据次季节尺度降水变率的单点相关方法,发现卢旺达的次季节降水变率和周围区域变化一致;进一步合成结果显示该地区次季节降水变率与异常西风有关,这可追溯到赤道地区西传的赤道Rossby波.最后,本文评估了当前动力模式ECMWF对 卢旺达地区(即非洲中东部)次季节降水变率的预报能力,发现EC模式在对该区域降水和相关风场指数的预报技巧都在18天左右,且预报技巧表现出一定的年际差异,这可能与热带太平洋的背景海温信号有关.该工作增进了当 前对非洲中东部地区的次季节降水变率和预测水平的认知,并且对该地区国家粮食安全和防灾减灾具有启示性意义.  相似文献   

Stratospheric balloon-based dropsonde technology: Development and preliminary assessment over the Tibetan Plateau: 基于高空气球平台的下投探空:系统研发和青藏高原实验          下载免费PDF全文

《大气和海洋科学快报》2021,14(3):100039

To complement the atmospheric profile measurements under complex geographical environments and extreme weather conditions, a stratospheric balloon-based dropsonde technology, which is carried by a stratospheric balloon platform from the Earth's surface to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) to release the dropsonde for measurements, is independently developed and preliminarily assessed over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) in this study. The dropsonde system is mainly composed of the dropsonde chamber, dropsonde with a parachute, data receiving and communication antennas, dropsonde-releasing device, and GPS (Global Positioning System) modules. The dropsonde measurements can be sent in real time through satellite communication links and by radio signals to a data receiver at the ground control center for storage and processing. A total of eight dropsondes aboard the stratospheric balloon were successfully released during the TP campaign in 2020. A preliminary assessment was conducted based on a case comparison between the dropsonde and radiosonde measurements, which indicated that the dropsonde technology we developed can generally provide reasonable atmospheric profiles. However, further efforts are still required to improve the detection performance of the dropsonde sensors after long-term locating in the UTLS and to assess the accuracy and precision of the detection technology more carefully.摘要为提高复杂地理环境和极端天气条件下的大气廓线探测能力, 本文自主研发了基于平流层高空气球平台的下投探空系统, 并在青藏高原开展探测评估实验.该系统主要由下投探空舱,携带降落伞的下投探空仪,下投施放装置,数据接收通讯天线和GPS模块等组成.下投探空仪测量数据通过卫星通信链路和无线电信号实时发送至数据接收机存储处理.2020年青藏高原实验中8枚下投探空仪全部成功施放, 提供了合理有效的大气廓线探测数据.后续会进一步提高下投探空仪传感器性能, 全面评估其探测准确性和精度.  相似文献   

The Digital Belt and Road program in support of regional sustainability

The Belt and Road initiative has a significant focus on infrastructure, trade, and economic development across a vast region, and it also provides significant opportunities for sustainable development. The combined pressure of climate variability, intensified use of resources, and the fragility of ecosystems make it very challenging, however, to achieve future sustainability. To develop the path in a sustainable way, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of these issues across nations and evaluate them in a scientific and well-informed approach. In this context, the Digital Belt and Road (DBAR) program was initiated as an international venture to share expertise, knowledge, technologies, and data to demonstrate the role of Earth observation science and technology and big Earth data applications to support large-scale development. In this paper, we identify pressing challenges, present the research priorities and foci of the DBAR program, and propose solutions where big Earth data can make significant contributions. This paper calls for further joint actions and collaboration to build a digital silk road in support of sustainable development at national, regional and global levels.  相似文献   

利用排水区间计算城市暴雨积水          下载免费PDF全文

沈计  张秋文 《武汉大学学报(信息科学版)》2018,43(3):356-363

提出了给定淹没水量条件下基于流域排水区间分布的城市暴雨积水过程计算模型。该模型针对城市暴雨积水过程的形成机理和特点提出了两个基本假设,以各积水淹没源的空间分布特征规律为依据将城市流域划分为若干个排水区间,并将排水区间作为积水淹没计算的基本单元。为了保证计算的效率,根据流域地形起伏分布状况,该模型将各个排水区间内的空间区域范围简化为一个规则几何体,并结合体积法和多种漫流计算思想模拟暴雨积水在各排水区间内部和淹没源点之间的漫延过程。实验结果表明,该模型高效、可行,对流域资料要求较低,在信息不完备条件下的城市暴雨积水模拟中具有一定的应用价值。  相似文献

相似性度量是地理学中的关键组成部分,被广泛应用于空间检索、空间信息整合及空间数据挖掘中。因为空间场景中实体个数的差异及空间对象间的关系难以精确相等,若执行空间场景的完全精确匹配,可能会使得检索结果为空。顾及尺度差异,从空间场景中进行空间语义理解,建立了多尺度空间场景的形式化描述模型,并提取场景中稳定的特征构建空间场景特征矩阵。建立场景间的初始匹配概率矩阵后,基于松弛标记法迭代更新概率矩阵,直到矩阵收敛于一全局最小值并确定匹配的实体对,从而进行空间场景相似性评估。采用武汉居民地域数据进行场景匹配实验,并对不同邻域搜索半径下的匹配时间及精确度进行对比与分析,实验结果表明,基于松弛标记法的空间场景匹配方法具有较高的精确度。  相似文献

利用GPS信噪比（signal-to-noise ratio,SNR）观测值监测土壤湿度的精度直接受多径干涉相位与土壤湿度间的关系模型影响。传统方法基于线性模型,通过增加样本数量、排除特例提高普适性,但未合理考虑坡度、植被及天气等因素。基于上述因素短期变化可忽略的假设,引入时间窗口,采用自相关分析确定窗口长度,利用窗口内样本动态线性回归构建预测和插值模型反演土壤湿度。实验结果表明,引入窗口后,预测、插值误差分别下降17.4%和54.6%,相关系数上升16.2%和32.9%。插值模型利用了待估时刻之后的观测量,精度更高;预测模型精度略低,但更适于实时应用。同时,残差极大值与土壤湿度的上升之间显著相关。预测残差较土壤湿度具有极大值更小、时刻略微提前的时域特征。  相似文献
