This study is focused on the western part of the French Mediterranean area, namely the Pyrénées-Orientales and Aude administrative departments. The water resources (surface and groundwater) in the region are sensitive to climate change. The study addresses the question of whether any trend in the annual and monthly series of temperature, rainfall and potential evapotranspiration (PET) already appears at the scale of this region. Two data sources have been used: (a) direct local measurements using the meteorological network; and (b) spatially interpolated data from the French weather service model SAFRAN for the period 1970–2006. The non-parametric Mann–Kendall test was applied to identify significant trends at the local scale and, because of the natural spatial variability of the Mediterranean climate, regional interpretation was also performed. The trends observed in the 13 catchments of interest are consistent with those observed at a larger scale. An increase in annual mean temperature and annual PET was observed throughout the study area, whereas annual precipitation has not exhibited any trend. The monthly scale has revealed strong seasonal variability in trend. The trend for an increase in monthly PET has been observed mainly in the spring, and has not been seen in the coastal areas. A trend for an increase in monthly temperature has been observed in June and in the spring throughout the entire area. Monthly rainfall has been found to decrease in June and increase in November throughout the area. The significant trends observed in rainfall and temperature seem to be consistent between the different data sources.  相似文献

农业用水占华北水资源的70%以上,提高农业用水的效率对华北水资源安全具有重要意义。在节水农业研究中,利用农艺节水提高农田水分利用效率是节水农业的重要组成部分,其中减少农田无效棵间蒸发耗水和优化供水制度是主要的农艺节水措施。夏玉米是华北太行山山前平原的主要作物之一,一般在冬小麦收获前的5～7天套种在其中,以延长夏玉米的生育期。随着联合收割机的广泛应用,冬小麦收获后的秸秆直接覆盖夏玉米,对夏玉米的农田蒸散特别是苗期的蒸散产生影响;夏玉米生长在6～9月的雨季,一般年份降水能够满足夏玉米的需水要求,但夏季降水的分布变异较大,再加上近6年来的夏季干旱,使灌水对夏玉米的高产至关重要。为了提高夏玉米的农田水分利用效率,本研究的目的是建立秸秆覆盖下的夏玉米优化供水制度和研究秸秆覆盖对减少棵间无效耗水的影响及秸秆覆盖下的夏玉米作物系数的变化,为制定秸秆覆盖下的夏玉米优化供水制度提供依据。2年的实验结果显示,秸秆覆盖下的夏玉米产量在8000kg/ha,总蒸散量在390mm,水分利用效率在2.2kg/m3。干旱年份,夏玉米在灌四水的条件下产量最高,再增加灌水量,产量减少。水分利用效率随着灌水量的增加有所递减。  相似文献   

Have China’s drylands become wetting in the past 50 years?

Recently, whether drylands of Northwest China (NW) have become wetting has been attracting surging attentions. By comparing the Standard Precipitation Evapotranspiration Indices (SPEI) derived from two different potential evapotranspiration estimates, i.e., the Thornthwaite algorithm (SPEI_th) and the Penman-Monteith equation (SPEI_pm), we try to resolve the controversy. The analysis indicated that air temperature has been warming significantly at a rate of 0.4°C decade^?1 in the last five decades and the more arid areas are more prone to becoming warmer. Annual precipitation of the entire study area increased insignificantly by 3.6 mm decade^?1 from 1970 to 2019 but NW presented significantly increasing trends. Further, the SPEI_th and SPEI_pm demonstrated similar wetting-drying-wetting trends (three phases) in China’s drylands during 1970-2019. The common periodical signals in the middle phase were identified both by SPEI_th and SPEI_pm wavelet analysis. Analysis with different temporal intervals can lead to divergent or even opposite results. The attribution analysis revealed that precipitation is the main climatic factor driving the drought trend transition. This study hints that the wetting trend’s direction and magnitude hinge on the targeted temporal periods and regions.  相似文献   

Lysimetric evaluation of SEBAL using high resolution airborne imagery from BEAREX08     

《Advances in water resources》2013

In this study, Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) was evaluated for its ability to derive aerodynamic components and surface energy fluxes from very high resolution airborne remote sensing data acquired during the Bushland Evapotranspiration and Agricultural Remote Sensing Experiment 2008 (BEAREX08) in Texas, USA. Issues related to hot and cold pixel selection and the underlying assumptions of difference between air and surface temperature (dT) being linearly related to the surface temperature were also addressed. Estimated instantaneous evapotranspiration (ET) and other components of the surface energy balance were compared with measured data from four large precision weighing lysimeter fields, two each managed under irrigation and dryland conditions. Instantaneous ET was estimated with overall mean bias error and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.13 and 0.15 mm h⁻¹ (23.8 and 28.2%) respectively, where relatively large RMSE was contributed by dryland field. Sensitivity analysis of the hot and cold pixel selection indicated that up to 20% of the variability in ET estimates could be attributed to differences in the surface energy balance and roughness properties of the anchor pixels. Adoption of an excess resistance to heat transfer parameter model into SEBAL significantly improved the instantaneous ET estimates.  相似文献   

Water losses in arid and semi-arid zone: Evaporation, evapotranspiration and seepage     

MUPENZI Jean de la Paix  NGAMIJE Jean  ACHAL Verenyam  HABIYAREMYE Gabriel  HABUMUGISHA Jean de Dieu 《山地科学学报》2012,9(2):256-261

The primary purpose of this study was to assess water losses by evapotranspiration, evaporation and seepage in arid zone.Normally, evaporation and seepage are the main causes of water losses.For modeling water losses,a combination of Genetic Programming(GP),Penman-Monteith(PM) and Penman combination model for measurement of evapotranspiration,evaporation and seepage has been developed.The results were found to be varying depending on how the evaporation and seepage phenomena are modeled.These results show that that there is an improvement in reducing evapotranspiration,evaporation and seepage losses in arid and semi-arid region.  相似文献

针对遥感在面上计算的特点,将模式模拟的气象要素区域分布替代以往使用的单点观测值作为遥感估算蒸散发模型的初始场,引入到SEBS(Surface Energy Balance System)模型中,利用EOS/MODIS遥感资料对金塔绿洲非均匀下垫面地表能量通量进行了估算。对比估算结果与实测值表明,引入数值模拟结果后,绿洲地表感热通量的估算误差平均减小了5.8%,潜热通量的误差平均减小了5.5%,说明数值模拟结果的引入比较成功。通过分析地表通量的区域分布特征表明,数值模拟结果的引入在一定程度上更加细致地刻画了荒漠绿洲能量平衡的分布特征,在戈壁荒漠地区,潜热通量非常小,而绿洲集中的地区及水库附近出现了潜热通量的极大值。  相似文献   

Observations of surface radon in Central Italy     

Piero Di Carlo  Giovanni Pitari  Natalia De Luca  Domenico Battisti 《Environmental Geology》2009,58(2):431-436

Two years of in situ radon concentration measurements in the atmospheric surface layer have been collected in a central Italy town (L’Aquila), located in the Aterno river valley. These data have been analyzed in order to study the controlling mechanisms of surface radon abundance; observations of coincident meteorological parameters confirmed the role of dynamics on the local removal rate of this tracer. The relatively high negative correlation of hourly data of surface wind speed and radon activity concentration (R = −0.54, on annual scale) suggests that dynamical removal of radon is one of the most important controlling processes of the tracer accumulation in the atmospheric surface layer. An attempt is made to quantify the precipitation impact on radon soil fluxes. No anticorrelation of radon and precipitation comes out from the data (R = −0.15), as in previous studies. However, since the main physical parameter affecting the ground radon release is expected to be the soil accumulation of water, snow or ice, the emission flux has also been correlated with soil moisture; in this way a much clearer anticorrelation is found (R = −0.54).  相似文献   

Use of practical aspects of soil behaviour to evaluate different methods to generate soil hydraulic functions     

J. H. M. Wsten  C. H. J. E. Schuren  J. Bouma  A. Stein 《水文研究》1990,4(4):299-310

Soil hydraulic functions can be obtained with methods that range from complex and costly to simple and cheap. Decisions as to which is the most appropriate method for a specific application have to be based on a comparison of generated hydraulic functions. This comparison should preferably be based on a statistical comparison of practical applications calculated with the different hydraulic functions rather than on a statistical comparison of the functions themselves. In this study four different methods were used to generate hydraulic functions: (A) direct on-site measurement, (B) measurement in soil horizons in the area, (C) use of a national data set, and (D) use of Van Genuchten parameters correlated with soil texture and organic matter content. The four methods were compared by their effect on two practical aspects of soil behaviour: (1) evapotranspiration deficit and (2) flux through a plane at 30 cm below soil surface. These two aspects are highly relevant for agricultural and environmental use. However, direct measurement is not feasible. A validated simulation model was used for the calculations and results obtained with method A were taken as a reference. Calculations were performed for three soil profiles for a period of seven years. Deficits and fluxes, calculated with the four methods to generate hydraulic functions, were not significantly different using the data of the seven-year period. However, methods were significantly different when rainfall deficits were used as a covariable. This is true with the exception of downward fluxes in the period October until March which are most important for leaching of pollutants. The user has to decide whether differences between methods are sufficiently large to justify repeated, expensive on-site measurements (method A) or whether an investment will be made to make standard series of curves to be used everywhere (methods C and D).  相似文献
