Characterization of sudden and sustained base flow jump hydrologic behaviour in the humid seasonal tropics of the Panama Canal Watershed

Base flows are important for tropical regions with pronounced dry seasons, which are facing increasing water demands. Base flow generation, however, is one of the most challenging hydrological processes to characterize in the tropics. In many years during the May–December wet season in the Panama Canal Watershed (PCW), base flows in rivers abruptly increase. This increase persists until the start of the December–April dry season. Understanding this unusual base flow jump (BFJ) behaviour is critical to improve water provisioning in the seasonal tropics, especially during droughts and extended dry seasons. This study developed an integrated approach combining piecewise regression on cumulative average base flow and sensitivity analysis to calculate the timing and magnitude of BFJ. Rainfall, forest cover, mean land surface slope, catchment area, and estimated subsurface storage were tested as predictors for the occurrence and magnitude of the BFJs in seven subcatchments of the PCW. Sensitivity analysis on correlated predictors allowed ranking of predictor contributions due to isolated and cross-correlation effects. Correlations between observed BFJs and BFJs predicted by watershed and rainfall-related predictors were 0.92 and 0.65 for BFJ timing and magnitude, respectively. Forest cover was the second most significant predictor after cumulative rainfall for jump magnitude, owing to larger subsurface storage and groundwater recharge in forests than pastures. Catchments in the mountainous eastern PCW always generated larger jumps due to their higher rainfall and greater forest cover than the western PCW catchments. The cross-correlations between predictors contributed to more than 50% of the jump variances. The results demonstrate the importance of rainfall gradient and catchment characteristics in affecting the sudden and sustained BFJs, which can help inform land management decisions intended to enhance water supplies in the tropics. This study underscores the need for more research to further understand the hydrological processes involved in the BFJ phenomenon, including better BFJ models and field characterizations, to help improve tropical ecosystem services under a changing environment.  相似文献   

Relations indices de Végétation–Pluie au Burkina Faso: Cas du Bassin Versant du Nakambé/Relationship between Rainfall and Vegetation Indexes in Burkina Faso: A Case Study of the Nakambé Basin     

《水文科学杂志》2013,58(2)

Abstract

This work deals with the problem of the use of remote sensing data derived from NOAA/AVHRR observations for monitoring the West African Sahel climatic variability. NDVI is widely used in hydrological and climatological research, and in the study of global climatic changes. The relationships between NDVI and climatic parameters are not well established yet and are the focus of many studies. The relationships between NDVI and rainfall were studied at a 10-day time step in the Nakambe River basin in Burkina Faso in the Sahelo-Sudanian area over the years 1982–1999. Good correlations were found in the annual evolution of these two variables. The statistical analysis shows a significant relationship between NDVI and the sum of the annual rainfall with determination coefficients greater than 0.80. At the spatial scale of 0.5° × 0.5°, the determination coefficient ranges from 0.91 to 0.96. It was also found that the NDVI is a good indicator of the determination of the beginning and the end of the rainy season. It gives reasonably good results in comparison with the other methods commonly used in the study region.  相似文献   

Effects of different operational modes on the flood‐induced turbidity current of a canyon‐shaped reservoir: case study on Liuxihe Reservoir,South China

Suspended matter is an important indicator of water quality in freshwater systems. The flood‐induced turbidity current plays a dominant role in the seasonal dynamic of suspended matter in the Liuxihe Reservoir (23°45′50″N; 113°46′52″E), a large, stratified reservoir at the Tropic of Cancer in southern China. Field measurements show that loading and distribution of suspended matter in the reservoir differ in typical wet, dry and medium years, as a result of different discharge volumes and water level variation patterns. Using historical data and the practical demand for water supply and flood control, we generalized two feasible reservoir operational modes: flood impounding mode (drawing down the reservoir to a low level before flood events to impound inflow during the flooding season) and moderate level change mode (drawing down the reservoir to a moderate level before flood events, then keeping the level within the flood control level during runoff events). To examine the effects of different operational modes and outlet depths on the reservoir's flood‐induced turbidity current, a numerical simulation model was applied in three types of hydrological conditions. The results show that the mode with moderate drawdown and recharge processes can decrease loading of suspended matter in spring and promote turbidity current release during flood events, and upper withdrawal can improve the effects of turbid water release. We suggest that more attention should be focused on water quality management in the reservoir operation stage, severe artificial water level fluctuation being avoided and selective withdrawal becoming an optional management measure.

为了解西辽河流域归一化植被指数(NDVI)的分布规律、变化趋势及对气候变化的响应,利用2000—2018年西辽河流域11个气象站逐日气象资料和MODIS归一化植被指数数据集,通过线性回归和相关分析,探讨了生长季各月NDVI与气象因子的时滞性,以及气象站周围10 km缓冲区内不同植被类型NDVI与气象因子的相关性。结果表明：西辽河流域年平均气温、最高气温、最低气温和降水量均呈上升趋势。NDVI呈上升趋势,植被有所改善,不同植被类型NDVI均呈增加趋势,耕地增加趋势最快,耕地长势受益于农事活动的完善和增进。NDVI空间分布呈现中间低,四周高特点。生长季各月NDVI与降水量存在明显的滞后性,滞后期为1个月;仅8月NDVI与前1个月平均气温和最高气温存在滞后性。不同植被类型NDVI与平均气温、最高气温的相关性密切。耕地NDVI与气象因子的相关性较好。研究结果可为维护西辽河流域生态系统平衡提供参考。  相似文献

为深入认识GRAPES_Meso(Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System)3 km对流尺度区域模式对华南前汛期精细化降水的预报性能,为模式改进及业务应用提供参考依据,利用广东省86个站点逐小时观测降水资料和国家气象信息中心多源融合降水资料,针对广东省复杂地形特点,结合距海岸线的远近及站点地形特点,将86个站划分为沿海东部、沿海西部和内陆地区三个子区域,采用二分类降水预报检验方法,定量评估了2020年5月18日—6月18日华南前汛期降水预报效果。结果显示,GRAPES_Meso 3 km模式精细化降水预报技巧受广东复杂地形影响较大,广东沿海东部和内陆地区24 h时累积降水的小雨、中雨、大雨量级预报成功指数(Threat Score,TS)、公平成功指数(Equitable Threat Score,ETS)评分高于沿海西部地区,尽管暴雨预报评分具有此相同特征,但三个子区域的暴雨预报评分总体较低;从3 h累积降水预报评分看,沿海东部、沿海西部及内陆地区等三个子区域存在明显的日变化特征,但是沿海东部及西部与内陆地区表现有所不同,沿海东部和西部降水预报评分夜间较低(预报偏差偏高),白天相对较高(预报偏差偏低),而内陆地区则是夜间较高(预报偏差偏低),白天相对较低(预报偏差偏高)。沿海西部预报评分相对较低的原因是由于检验时段内广东地区存在一个弱的风切变,而沿海西部大部分地区正好处于切变线南侧的温度高值区控制,但模式模拟该区域的日平均温度较实况偏低,导致沿海西部模式预报降水空报较多,降低其降水预报技巧。  相似文献
