    查看更多>>摘要:The rapid warming of the Arctic has led to permafrost degradation,accelerating the transport of terrestrial materials by rivers.The quan-titative assessment of riverine nutrients and total suspended solids (TSS) flux is important to clarify the land-ocean connections in the Arctic.However,much is unknown about the estimates of these components from direct measurements in the Arctic rivers and the response of the components to permafrost degradation.Here,we report the results from the Arctic Great Rivers Observatory (Arctic-GRO) for the six major Arctic rivers (Yenisey,Lena,Ob',Mackenzie,Yukon,and Kolyma) to investigate the riverine exports of TSS,total dissolved nitrogen (TDN),nitrate (NO3-),bicarbonate (HCO3-),total dissolved phosphorus (TDP),and phosphate (PO43-).The results showed that from 2004 to 2017,the annual TSS,TDN,and NO3-exports to the Arctic Ocean were approximately 106,026 Gg,692 Gg,and 130 Gg,respectively,and the HCO3-,TDP,and PO43-exports were approximately 79,092 Gg,32 Gg,and 18 Gg,respectively.There were remarkable variations in component concentrations and fluxes between seasons.More than 80% of the TDN,TDP,PO43,and TSS exports mainly occurred in spring and summer,and a high HCO3-flux was recorded in summer,while a high NO3-flux in some rivers occurred in winter.The active layer thickness was significantly positively correlated with the annual TDN,NO3-,and HCO3-exports.In addition,the HCO3-flux of the six Arctic rivers increased by 247 Gg per year during 2004-2017.The positive relationship between the active layer thickness and river discharge indicates that permafrost degradation accelerated rivefine carbonate,nitrogen,and phosphorus exports.This study demonstrates that riverine exports play an important role both in the Arctic terrestrial and marine ecosystems,and permafrost degradation will likely increase the riverine material exports to the ocean.

    查看更多>>摘要:Permafrost is an important component in hydrological processes because changes in runoff over the Arctic drainage basin cannot be well explained by changes in precipitation-related variables.However,current understanding of the influences of permafrost on hydrological dy-namics is insufficient.This study investigated historical variations in permafrost conditions and their potential hydrologic effects over the Russian Arctic drainage basin.The results show that soil temperature (at 0.40 m below surface) has increased about 1.4 ℃ over the Ob,1.5 ℃over the Yenisei,and 1.8 ℃ over the Lena River basin from 1936 through 2013,possibly resulted in a significant thawing of permafrost.Rapid active layer changes have occurred since the 1970s.The volume of the active layer increased by 28,142,and 228 km3 over the Ob,Yenisei,and Lena basins,respectively,since the 1970s.Melting ground ice caused by deepening active layer may be a limited contribution to annual runoff.Runoff during freeze season (October--April) showed significant positive correlations (p < 0.05) to active layer thickness in the Yenisei and Lena basins while negative correlation (p > 0.05) in the Ob basin.These results imply that,in basins with high permafrost coverage,a deeper active layer increased soil water storage capacity and perhaps contribute to an increase in winter runoff.

    查看更多>>摘要:The emergent constraint approach is a way of using multi-model ensembles to identify the linkage between current/past climate variability and future climate changes,which has been widely used for narrowing down the uncertainty of multi-model projections of future climate change.Climate models of the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) show a much stronger Arctic wanning signal but with a larger inter-model spread.In this study,we find that the projected Arctic warming made by multi-models in CMIP6 is positively correlated with the simulated global warming trend during the period of 1981-2011 in historical runs.This enables us to tighter constraints to future warming in the Arctic by using the observed global warming during the instrument era.The fact that CMIP6 models tend to overestimate the trend of global mean surface temperature during 1981-2011,therefore,would imply a relative weak Arctic warming compared to the CMIP6 median warming projection.

    查看更多>>摘要:The Bering sea is susceptible to ocean acidification driven by both human activities (anthropogenic CO2) and distinctive natural processes.To assess the situation of ocean acidification,we investigated the spatial variability of aragonite saturation states (ΩAr) in July 2010 during the 4th Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition (CHINARE).The surface waters were all oversaturated with respect to aragonite (ΩAr > 1) due to high biological removal,and ΩAr ranged from 1.43 to 3.17.The relatively low ΩAr values were found in the western Bering Strait and eastern nearshore region of the Bering Sea Shelf,which were associated with the upwelling and riverine input,respectively.In the subsurface,the ΩAr decreased to generally low saturation states and were observed to be strongly undersaturated (ΩAr < 1) in the bottom waters with a lowest value of 0.45,which might be caused by remineralization.However,unlike prior studies,the low ΩAr values in the shallow nearshore region were still above the saturation horizon throughout the water column,which were probably counteracted by high local primary production.In the context of climate change and increasing anthropogenic CO2 absorption,the suppression and undersaturation of ΩAr in the Bering Sea are not only attributed to the natural processes but also the accumulation of anthropogenic CO2.

    查看更多>>摘要:Recently,an algorithm of surface turbulent heat fluxes over snow/sea ice has been developed based on the theory of maximum entropy production (MEP),which is fundamentally different from the bulk flux algorithm (BF) that has been used in sea ice models for a few decades.In this study,we first assess how well the MEP algorithm captures the observed variations of turbulent heat fluxes over Arctic sea ice.It is found that the calculated heat fluxes by the MEP method are in good agreement with in-situ observations after considering the absorption of incoming radiation in a snow/ice surface layer with infinitesimal depth.We then investigate the effects of two different schemes (MEP vs.BF) in the sea ice model of CICE6 on simulated turbulent heat fluxes and sea ice processes in the Arctic Basin.Our results show that the two different schemes give quite different representations of seasonal variations of heat fluxes,particularly for sensible heat fluxes in summer.The heat fluxes simulated by the MEP produce weak cooling effect on the ice surface in summer,whereas the BF generates a warming effect.As a result,compared to the BF,the MEP leads to a reduced seasonal cycle of Arctic sea ice mass flux by modulating snow-to-ice conversion,basal ice growth,surface ice melt and basal ice melt.

    查看更多>>摘要:As a key region of Northeast Passage,the polynya along the Siberian coast in the East Siberian and Chukchi Seas is important to local dynamic and thermodynamic processes,sea ice production and marine ecosystem.The detailed variations of polynya and the contributions of atmospheric and oceanic factors to the polynya have not been explored quantitatively.AMSR-E satellite data from January to April during the period 2003-2011 were used to study the impacts of wind stress and ocean heat transport on variations of polynya in the East Siberian Sea and Chukchi Sea.The study region was divided into six domains.Four sets of AMSR-E data with resolutions of 6.25 km and 12.5 km were compared based on two algorithms of sea ice concentration (referred to as 6.25 km-IC and 12.5 km-IC) and sea ice thickness (referred to as 6.25 km-h and 12.5 km-h).The monthly and yearly polynya areas in the four cases and six domains had remarkable differences.The two cases of 6.25 km-h and 12.5 km-h had larger areas of polynya than the other two cases of 6.25 km-IC and 12.5 km-IC.The difference in polynya area between the 6.25 km-h and 12.5 km-h cases was much smaller than the difference between the 6.25 km-IC and 12.5 km-IC cases.The study of atmospheric and oceanic mechanisms on polynya is influenced significantly by the sensitivity of polynya areas.In general,the impact of wind stress and ocean heat transport on the polynyas had noticeable monthly and interannual variations and was dependent on the locations of the polynyas.The alongshore and offshore wind had stronger correlations with the polynya area than ocean heat transport.Although the higher resolution(6.25 km) AMSR-E data are best for the study of atmospheric and oceanic impacts on polynya area,the coarse resolution (12.5 km) AMSR-E data based on sea ice thickness can also be used.Wind direction dominated the polynya area in the East Siberian Sea and wind speed dominated the polynya area in the Chukchi Sea.The variation in ocean heat transport was influenced mainly by variation in volume transport rather than variation in water temperature.
