Regional Applications of Lake Sediment Dating by Spheroidal Carbonaceous Particle Analysis I: United Kingdom     

N.L.?RoseEmail author  P.G.?Appleby 《Journal of Paleolimnology》2005,34(3):349-361

Spheroidal carbonaceous fly-ash particles (SCPs) are produced by the high temperature combustion of fossil-fuels such as coal and oil. They are not produced by any natural processes and therefore are unambiguous indicators of atmospheric deposition from power generation and other industrial sources. In lake sediments, SCP concentration profiles are robust, replicable and often regionally characteristic such that the main profile features can be used for sediment dating. Previous work in the UK provided dates for the three main SCP profile features for Scotland, North Wales and Northern Ireland and also highlighted the lack of information for the rest of the UK. In this study, archived SCP data and new SCP concentration profiles were compiled from 80 radionuclide-dated sediment cores from across the whole of the UK in order to determine the regional coherence of temporal trends. Using SCP cumulative percentage profiles, with the SCP concentration peak set as 100%, dates for each 10% were produced for each core. Comparing these dates, eight distinct regions were found within the UK and dated cumulative profiles, with errors, were determined for each. Despite this regionality, the whole of the UK showed the same date for the start of the record (1850±25 years) and for the 40- and 50% (1940±15 and 1955±15, respectively). The national coherence of the former is thought to be due to the large confidence limits in the radionuclide dates for this period, whilst the latter is thought to be due to the impact from the major increase in electricity demand following the Second World War and the widespread introduction and use of cheap fuel-oil. Since the 1960s the trend has been one of increasing regionalisation resulting from the introduction of particle arrestor technology, the decline of heavy industry, the move to fewer and larger sources, particularly power stations, and an increase in accuracy for the dates of recent horizons. Regional trends are seen to compare well with industrial development in the UK and in some western areas influenced by emissions from Ireland. Areas of uncertainty remain in South Wales and the northern isles. A cumulative percentile was also calculated for each region for 1963 in order that this can be compared with the ²⁴¹Am and ¹³⁷Cs peaks.  相似文献   

简易海洋同化数据中的厄尔尼诺现象     

崔茂常  吴玲娟 《海洋学报》2005,27(2):29-38

为研究在厄尔尼诺现象演变过程中海气相互作用的性态特征,该文再次应用拓展伴随模态分析于简易海洋同化数据(SODA data).结果表明:通过相互作用形成厄尔尼诺/拉尼娜现象的海洋与大气具有明显不同的性态,气候系统中并不存在一个相对独立的热带太平洋大气变异,但是的确存在一个相对独立的热带太平洋海洋变异;原因在于大气是底部界面受热而海洋是顶部界面受热,从而导致前者具有较后者强烈得多的斜压不稳定性和能够覆盖大部分热带太平洋的赤道辐合带; 再次证实了正是直接来自中纬度海域的西风爆发和海面风辐聚导致赤道太平洋上层海水的东向移动和经向辐聚造就了厄尔尼诺所特有的增温信号.  相似文献   

与厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜相联系的中国南方冬季降水的年代际异常特征   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

袁媛  李崇银  杨崧 《气象学报》2014,72(2):237-255

利用NCEP/NCAR再分析大气环流资料、哈得来中心海温资料、中国700多站降水资料以及全球格点降水资料,详细分析了中国南方冬季降水异常的特征,并揭示了其所对应的欧亚大气环流和东亚冬季风异常与ENSO事件的联系,以及ENSO暖/冷位相对其影响的非对称性。研究进一步证明了厄尔尼诺是导致中国南方冬季降水偏多的重要外强迫因子,并指出拉尼娜对中国南方冬季降水的影响表现出明显的年代际变化特征。1980年之前的拉尼娜年冬季,东亚冬季风显著偏强,东亚大槽偏深,西北太平洋副热带高压偏弱偏东,中国南方受一致偏北风影响,气温偏低,降水偏少,多表现为冷干的气候特征。但1980年之后的拉尼娜年冬季,东亚大槽偏弱,印缅槽偏强,同时在菲律宾以西激发出异常气旋性环流,使得异常偏东风控制中国南方,有利于热带水汽输送增强,因此降水偏多。同时,1980年之后的拉尼娜事件还使得东亚副热带西风急流偏强偏北,中国南方处于急流入口区的右侧,通过二级环流使得中国南方上空的上升运动偏强,有利于降水偏多。因此,1980年之后的拉尼娜年冬季,中国南方易表现出冷湿的气候特征,有时也容易发生低温雨雪冰冻灾害。进一步分析表明,1980年以后拉尼娜成熟期海温异常空间分布型的变化,以及北半球大气环流的年代际变化可能是导致拉尼娜对东亚大气环流的影响在1980年之后发生变化的重要原因。  相似文献   

GATE A/B‐scale budget analysis     

Han‐Ru Cho  Robert M. Bloxam  Lawrence Cheng 《大气与海洋》2013,51(1):60-76

Abstract

Using GATE A/B‐scale U.S.S.R. ship data, heat and moisture budget analyses have been carried out for the three‐day period: 0000 GMT, 7 September to 2400 GMT, 9 September, 1974. The period has been subdivided into an undisturbed period (0000 GMT, 7 September ‐1800 GMT, 8 September) and a disturbed period (1800 GMT, 8 September ‐ 2400 GMT, 9 September) based on surface precipitation and satellite cloud observations. During the undisturbed period, precipitation was very light (1–3 mm day^‐1). On the other hand, the precipitation rate became well over 10 mm day^‐1 during the disturbed period. A/B‐scale heat and moisture budget results for both periods are presented.

It is found that during the undisturbed period, cumulus clouds have heating and moistening effects in the lower troposphere below 700 mb, and cooling and moistening effects in the upper troposphere above 600mb. In the disturbed period, clouds have strong heating and drying effects throughout the entire cloud layer.

Using the diagnostic scheme developed by Cho (1977), the collective properties of cumulus clouds for both the undisturbed and the disturbed periods are also determined. During the undisturbed period, some clouds reached as high as the 300‐mb level, however, little precipitation was produced. The total cloud mass flux is found to be negative in the upper troposphere and can be attributed to downdrafts induced by the evaporation of cloud liquid water. On the other hand, total cloud mass flux for the disturbed period is positive throughout the entire troposphere.  相似文献   

夏季大西洋Niňo基本特征及其与中国夏季降水异常的联系          下载免费PDF全文

李忠贤  余滔  曾刚  邓伟涛  王健治  吴玲玲 《大气科学学报》2019,42(6):835-844

利用NCEP-DOE AMIP-Ⅱ再分析资料、Hadley中心海表温度资料以及全国160站降水资料,运用经验正交函数(Empirical Orthogonal Function,EOF)分解和回归分析等方法,研究了夏季大西洋Niňo的变化特征及其与中国夏季降水异常的联系。结果表明:夏季大西洋Niňo是热带大西洋海温异常的第一EOF模态,其方差贡献率为33.7%,具有明显的年际变化特征。当夏季大西洋Niňo处于暖位相时,对流层低层西北太平洋地区出现明显的异常反气旋,受其影响,西太平洋副热带高压强度增强、位置西伸,中国华南地区出现显著的西南风异常,有利于西太平洋副热带高压西南侧的水汽向中国长江流域及其以北地区输送,使中国长江流域和华北地区降水增多,而中国东南沿海地区则受西北太平洋异常反气旋控制,不利于降水发生;反之亦然。  相似文献

王勇  于腾丽  刘晓  占伟 《南京气象学院学报》2021,13(2):170-180

京津冀地区夏季暴雨频发,水汽是影响暴雨形成的关键要素之一.本文利用中国大陆构造环境监测网络（CMONOC）京津冀地区GNSS（全球导航卫星系统）观测资料,开展GNSS天顶对流层总延迟（ZTD）时序分析及对厄尔尼诺事件的响应研究.利用快速傅里叶变换与小波变换方法从频域和时域开展GNSS ZTD时序分析,并对GNSS ZTD不同周期时序与东部型指数（I_EP）、中部型指数（I_CP）进行比较,分析I_EP、I_CP对GNSS ZTD周期变化的影响.研究发现：GNSS ZTD异常时段与厄尔尼诺事件存在对应关系.东部型指数（I_EP）与GNSS ZTD呈正相关;中部型指数（I_CP）与GNSS ZTD呈显著负相关.在东部型厄尔尼诺事件的影响下,GNSS ZTD的季节性周期增大,月周期和半月周期减小;在中部型厄尔尼诺事件的影响下,GNSS ZTD的季节性周期、月周期、半月周期都减小.研究结果可为掌握区域GNSS ZTD预测变化规律提供参考,并为利用水汽感知厄尔尼诺事件提供可行性基础.  相似文献   

Assessment of the hydrological status of Doñana dune ponds: a natural World Heritage Site under threat     

A. Fernández-Ayuso  M. Rodríguez-Rodríguez  J. Benavente 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(15-16):2048-2059

ABSTRACT

The hydrological response of shallow ponds to groundwater withdrawal has been of growing concern in the Doñana National Park (southern Spain) in recent decades. This study examines the role of groundwater in maintaining the hydroperiod (i.e. the hydrological regime) in the park’s main dune ponds, by quantifying the groundwater fluxes to/from them. The hydrological characterization was performed by applying different methodologies. Daily hydrological balances registered in the ponds revealed groundwater contributions ranging from 80% of the total water inflows (i.e. groundwater discharge) to a net groundwater recharge from the ponds to the aquifer, and enabled the studied water bodies to be classified as discharge or recharge systems. The recharge systems must have been influenced by the lowering of piezometric levels due to groundwater extraction for urban supply in a nearby coastal resort.  相似文献   

2009/2010年我国西南秋冬春连旱特征及其大气环流异常分析     

段海霞  王劲松  刘芸芸  李忆平  王素萍 《冰川冻土》2013,35(4):1022-1035

利用中国逐日站点降水资料、逐日季风监测指数及逐日副热带高压指数、74项环流指数及NCEP/NCAR再分析资料, 分析了2009年秋季至2010年春季的秋冬春西南特大干旱过程中各指数及大气环流异常特征.结果表明: 自2009年10月底东亚冬季风建立以来, 至2010年春季, 东亚冬季风强度持续偏强, 加之西太平洋副热带高压较常年偏西偏南, 西南地区长期受副高控制, 气温持续偏高, 加之冷空气虽然总体偏强, 但主要控制我国北方地区, 造成冷暖空气在西南地区少有交汇, 致使降水偏少, 干旱发生发展. 印缅槽强度较常年偏弱, 来自印度洋、孟加拉湾以及南海的水汽条件不足, 向西南地区输送的来自南海和孟加拉湾两条水汽通道的水汽通量均较常年偏弱很多, 加之西南地区、特别是云南地区自2009年秋季以来, 长期处于下沉运动的正距平区, 造成这段时间西南地区干旱少雨, 旱情持续. 2009年9月El Niño事件全面爆发, 南海-西太平洋地区形成异常反气旋流场, 该反气旋流场较常年偏西偏南, 造成副高位置偏西偏南, 从而使得云贵高原及其周边的印度季风区的降雨量明显偏少;高原地区及南海、菲律宾附近及热带辐合带地区OLR异常对西太平洋副热带高压的变化有一定影响, 进而影响西南地区降水, 其内在机制还有待深入研究.  相似文献
