Oasis is a special geographic landscape among the vast desert/Gobi in Northwest China (NWC). The surface sensitive heat flux and latent heat flux at Zhangye Oasis during 1 to 11 August 1991 are simulated using the NCAR nonhydrostatic mesoscale model MM5 Version 3. The horizontal grid resolution is set as 1km. By comparing the simulation results with HEIFE observations, it is proved that the model can be used to simulate the surface energy and water mass exchange of arid and semiarid regions in NWC.Based on the above results, the influence of different oasis scales on the local atmospheric field near the ground surface, and the critical scale of oasis maintenance, in NWC are studied dynamically. The following conclusion is obtained: the local thermal circulation between the oasis and the desert/Gobi is formed in the oasis downstream if the oasis scale is larger than 4 km. This local thermal circulation between the oasis and the desert adjacent to the oasis helps to conserve water vapor over the oasis. At the sametime, it transfers the abundant water vapor from the oasis into the desert/Gobi near to the oasis to supply relatively plentiful water vapor for desert crops to grow on the fringe of the oasis. So, it is advantageous for oasis extension. However, if the scale of the oasis is smaller than 4 km, it is not easy for the local thermal circulation between the oasis and the desert/Gobi to take shape. This study provides a new standpoint for oasis maintenance and development.  相似文献

Sciences in Cold andArid Regions （SCAR） is a bimonthly journal that publishes in English the latest research achievements in processes and the patterns of the Earth surface system in cold and arid regions. Researches in cold regions emphasize particularly on the cold-region-characterized physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions, and on the response of cryosphere to global change and human activities as well as their effects on environment and the acclimatizable strategies; focus on the objects of glacier, snow, river, lake, sea ice, permafrost and seasonal frozen ground, and periglacial geomorphology, etc.; and think much of cold regions engineering and technology. Researches in arid regions emphasize particularly on the arid-region-characterized physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions, and on the response of arid regions to global change and human activities as well as their effects on environment and the acclimatizable strategies; focus on the objects of desert, oasis, loess, and aeolian landforms, etc.; and support integrated studies on mountain-desert-oasis system in arid watershed with water resources as masterstroke, so as to provide reliable technological support for water safety, ecology safety and food safety in arid regions.  相似文献   

宁东鸳鸯湖矿区红柳煤矿顶板砂岩突水机理分析     

褚彦德 《中国煤炭地质》2013,25(4)

宁东鸳鸯湖矿区地处西北干旱地区,但其红柳煤矿1121综采工作面在初采期却经历了4次较大规模的突(涌)水,最大突水量达3 000m3/h,工作面被迫两次停产.通过对采场水文地质条件及覆岩离层分布规律的深入分析研究,可以认定该工作面的周期性突水为煤层开采后顶板砂岩中聚集的离层水所致.在此基础上,总结了开采过程中对煤层顶板砂岩含水层离层水进行有效疏放的方法与成功经验.该研究对宁东鸳鸯湖矿区及其他开采侏罗系煤层矿井的防治水工作具有同等重要意义.  相似文献   

Recent climate trends on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, China     

Hongfeng Zhang  Zhiyun Ouyang  Hua Zheng  Xiaoke Wang 《山地科学学报》2009,6(3):255-265

In arid regions, mountains fulfill important ecological and economic functions for the surrounding lowlands. In the scenario of global warming, mountain ecosystems change rapidly, especially in the arid region of northwestern China. This paper provides an assessment of the changes in temperature and precipitation in the historical records of climate on the northern slopes of the eastern Tianshan Mountains. A Mann-Kendall nonparametric trend and Sen＇s tests are employed to analyze the interannual changes and innerannual variability in temperature and precipitatiofi in the regions of low to high altitude. The present study finds that the largest increases in annual temperature are observed at stations in the low altitude regions. The significant increasing trends in temperature tend to occur mainly in late winter and early spring at stations from middle to high altitude, but in summer and autumn at stations of low altitudes. The increasing trends in annual precipitation are found from the middle to high altitude areas, but decreasing trends are found in the low altitude areas. The significant increasing trends in precipitation occur mostly in winter and earlier spring at stations from the middle to high altitudes, while the increasing and decreasing trend coexists at stations of low altitude with most of the significant trend changes occurring in March, June and August.  相似文献   

干旱地区     

泰勒  查 《干旱区地理》1991,14(2):90-93

如果80年代后期,环境问题的关键是“温室效应”和“臭氧空洞”,那么80年代早期,对应的问题当是“旱灾”和“饥荒”。有关“旱灾”、“沙漠”、“沙漠化”、“土地退化”和“饥荒”等问题,在新闻媒介中谬误泛滥,事实遭到曲解,定义失去严密性。在英国,干旱定义为“连续15天降雨量每天不超过0.2mm”,如1988、1989年秋冬的大部分时间都是这个定义上的干旱。由于它没给人们带来麻烦,也就几乎没作任何报道。一些研究人员认为,干旱只有当它对人类社会产生影响时,才算得上是真正的干旱。因此,这个定义还是不够确切的。  相似文献

中国西北干旱地区城市化过程及空间分异规律   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

段汉明  周晓辉  苏敏 《地球科学进展》2004,(Z1)

通过对实地调研和大量文献分析,对我国西北干旱地区城市发展与自然环境的关系进行论述,认为城市化过程本质上就是人地关系的集中凸现,是自然要素与人文要素长期互相作用的结果。自古以来,城市就是人类聚居的主要场所,屯垦是西北干旱地区最能体现人地关系的耦合点。在西北干旱地区现代城市化过程中,屯垦和矿产资源开发有较大的带动作用。由于自然因素和社会因素的双重影响,人口分布和聚居程度极不均衡,社会经济分异较大,城镇功能单一,部分地区和城镇的人口城镇化水平较高,并不是社会经济整体发展的结果,而是资源开采、行政建制的设立、极端自然条件下生存的需要等多种因素形成的。城市分布空间格局以带状、团状、串珠状为主,有着不同于其他地区的演化模式,城镇发展表现出多元复合的特征,是政治、经济、生态环境、资源、民族与文化等诸多因素相互关联、起伏变化的结果。城镇高速发展、城市化速度加快是未来西北干旱地区社会经济发展的必然结果,面对脆弱的生态环境和有限的资源,提出在西北干旱地区建设只有城镇、没有村落的新型城市社会,以达到社会经济和生态环境可持续发展的目标。  相似文献   

干旱半干旱区山地土壤水分动态变化   总被引：100，自引：1，他引：100

水分是干旱半干旱区山地植物生长的主要限制因子，在这些地区开展土壤水分动态变化研究对农业生产和生态恢复的重要性是不言而喻的。近年来土壤水分测定技术有了很大进步，中子水分仪和时城反射仪已成为常规测量仪器，新型仪器不断出现，总的趋势是仪器的精度和自动化水平不断提高。土壤水分有其时空变化规律，一方面土壤水分随季节变化而变化，另一方面土壤水分随土壤深度和水平位置的变化发生相应变化。降水是影响干旱半干旱区山地土壤水分的最重要因素，气温、太阳辐射等其它气象因子对土壤含水量也用一定影响。此外，坡向、坡度、坡位等地形因子以及土壤特性、地表植被、土地利用情况等对土壤含水量空间分布也有重要影响。总之土壤含水量的时空变化是各种环境因子综合作用的结果。目前土壤水分动态变化的研究重点是对其影响因子的研究。就我国而言，宜加强干旱河谷区土壤水分动态变化的研究，促进土壤水分动态变化研究工作全面深入地开展。  相似文献   

Effects of climate change on relationship between water and salts of waters ecosystems in arid zone, China     

Junfang HUANG Ranghui WANG 《中国地球化学学报》2006,25(B08):163-164

The process of salinization has increased dramatically over the past several decades in the northwest arid zone of China. Soil salinization has been recognized as a major environmental problem for many years in the Tarim River Basin. It is the key issue of solving the soil salinization problem to study interaction between water and salt in arid zone, which will provide useful principle and methodology to its solution. Taking Tarim River and Bosten Lake for example, by systematically collecting the basic data of hydrogeology, meteorology, and social economy, we analyzed the interaction of water and salt of Tarim River and Bostan Lake in natural and artificial conditions in aspects of basins, oases, lakes and marshes. The results showed that： （1） Temperature and precipitation are both increasing gradually in the whole Tarim River Basin, the climate tends to be come warmer and wetter, but the water quality condition is not optimistic; （2） At the end of the 1950s, mineralization degree was less than 1.0 g/L from the upper reaches to the lower reaches of the Tarim River. At present, it is more than 3.0 g/L in Alaer Lake （the upper reaches of the Tarim River） except in July, August and October, during which it is less than 1.0 g/L. In Qiala （the lower reaches）, it is more than 1.0 g/L except in March, moreover, it is about 5.0 g/L in July and December. The eco-water conveyance project implementation has still not improved Tarim River＇s water quality condition; （3） Bostan Lake was a tiny salt-water lake in the late 1950s, but the water-soil development of the oasis has aggravated the salinization in recent thirty years. Since the West Pumping Station was brought into operation in 1982, the Bostan Lake which accumulated salt has begun to be desalted. We consider that climate may not be the key factor for salinization in this area. Instead, socio-economic factors relevant to human activities should be mainly responsible for such changes, as is confirmed by our further analysis. In order to improve present situation of water-soil salinization, water resources utilization and management should be strengthened, highly efficient and water-saving irrigating technology should be spread,  相似文献
