    查看更多>>摘要:The Intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) is the cornerstone for 2-8-week subseasonal prediction.Understanding the decadal variation of the ISO is important for improving subseasonal prediction;however,there is still a gap in our knowledge of ISO dynamics.Here,we presented a method,an Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis of 11-year-sliding ISO evolution,to objectively detect decadal variation of the ISO originated from the equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO) during 1979-2016.The results show that the properties of ISO have a notable decadal change since 1998 for both boreal summer and boreal winter seasons,mainly in its evolution rather than in its intensity at origin.During the pre-1998 epoch,the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO),was confined to the Indian Ocean;since 1998,however,it propagated northeastward across the Maritime Continent (MC) and the intraseasonal variability over the western North Pacific was significant enhanced.On the other hand,the boreal-winter ISO,usually known as Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) shows minor changes in MC 'barrier effect'between the two epochs,and continuously propagates eastward across the MC.The MJO only shows suppressed activity over the central equatorial Pacific in the post-1998 epoch.These decadal changes are related to the eastern Pacific cooling during the 'global warming hiatus' period rather than to the four-decade global warming.Results here provide a set of potential precursors for foreseeing ISO propagation under different mean states.

    查看更多>>摘要:The reanalysis datasets (CRA40) have now been developed in China Meteorological Administration.We aim to compare the differences in surface air temperature (SAT) between observational that has been adjusted for urbanization bias and reanalysis data (NCEPV1,NCEPV2,ERA5,CFSR,MERRA,JRA55,20CRV3 and CRA40) over mainland China during 1961-2015.The main results are presented as follows.The correlation and standard deviation between the reanalysis data and observations exhibit highly consistent interannual variability and dispersion,with the interannual SAT variability in JRA55 being closest to the observations for 1961-2015 and that of ERA5 for 1979-2015;the dis-persions of 20CRV3 is most consistent with the observations for 1961-2015 and that of NCEPV1 for 1979-2015.Although annual mean SAT of the reanalysis is generally 0-2.0 ℃ lower than the observations,the bias in the SAT climatology of 20CRV3 is the least for 1961-2015 in all reanalysis datasets and that of CRA40 is the least for 1979-2015.The trends of NCEPV1 is closer to the observations than other reanalysis for 1961-2015 and that of 20CRV3 for 1979-2015.The biases in terms of interannual variability,dispersion,climatology,and linear trend are increase with altitude.Overall,in terms of the similarity of multiple measures to the urbanization bias-adjusted observations,JRA55 and CRA40 show the best performances for the periods 1961-2015 and 1979-2015 respectively in reproducing various aspects of climatological and climate change features in mainland China.

    查看更多>>摘要:Climate extremes pose severe threats to human health,economic stability and environmental sustainability,especially in densely populated areas.It is generally believed that global warming drives increase in frequency,intensity and duration of climate extremes,and socioeconomic exposure plays a dominant role in climate impacts.In order to promote climate risk govemance at regional level,the historical and projected trends in the population exposure to climate extremes are quantified in eastern China using downscaled climate simulations and population growth scenarios.The frequency of temperature extremes (tx35days) is projected to more than double by 2050 in nearly half of prefecture-level cities in eastern China,leading to an 81.8% increment of total exposure under SSP2-4.5 scenario.The increasing trend is also detectable in the frequency of precipitation extremes (r20mm) in eastern China,and the exposure increment is projected to be 22.9% by 2050,with a near equivalent contributions of both climate change and population growth.Spatially,temperature exposure mainly grows in southern Hebei,western Shandong and inland Guangdong provinces,while precipitation exposure raises principally in southeast coastal areas of China.Based on the historical baseline and projected amplification of population exposure,we identify some hotspot cities such as Guangzhou,Shanghai,Dongguan and Hangzhou that response to climate change dramatically and confront greater potential risk of climate extremes in the coming future.

    查看更多>>摘要:The degradation of near-surface permafrost under ongoing climate change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is of growing concern due to its impacts on geomorphological and ecological processes,as well as human activities.There is an increased need for an in-depth understanding of the evolution of permafrost temperature (Ttop) and active-layer thickness (ALT) at a fine scale on the QTP under climate change.This study evaluated the permafrost thermal development over the QTP for the period 1980-2100 at a 1 kin2 scale using a physically analytical model accounting for both climatic and local environmental factors based on multi-source data,The model results were validated against thermal borehole measurements and baseline maps.The modeled current (2001-2018) permafrost area (Ttop ≤ 0 ℃) covers 1.42 × 106 km2 (ca.56.1%of the QTP land area),10.1% of which thawed over the historical period 1981-2000.To assess how the ground thermal regime could develop in the future,we utilized the multi-model ensemble mean of downscaled outputs from eight climate models under three Shared Socio-economic Pathways (i.e.,SSP126,245,and 585) in CMIP6 to force the permafrost model.Model results suggest that the current (2001-2018) permafrost extent is likely to dramatically contract in the future period (2021-2100),as indicated by consistent Ttop warming and ALT increasing due to climate changing.About 26.9%,59.9%,80.1% of the current permafrost is likely to disappear by the end of the 21st century under SSP126,SSP245,and SSP585 scenarios,respectively.The simulation results may further provide new opportunities to assess the future impacts of climate warming on environments and engineering development over the QTP.

    查看更多>>摘要:Geological carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization and storage have been widely recognized as one of the important options to deliver greenhouse gas emissions reduction.Reasonable planning is critical to promote CO2 utilization and storage.However,CO2 emissions gas collection exhibits a stochastic probability distribution,and CO2 utilization and storage features fluctuation demands,which have gone beyond current determine planning techniques.To fulfill the current research gap,this study develops an interval-parameter two-stage programming-based CO2 collection,distribution,transportation,utilization,and storage optimization model,integrating interval parameter planning and two-stage planning into a general framework.Therefore,the model can address uncertainties expressed as random probabilistic distributions and discrete intervals,tackle dynamic facilities capacity expansion issues,develop optimal predefined CO2 distribution policy,and generate recourse schemes to address gas shortage or gas surplus issues.The model is examined by a typical hypnotical case study in China.The results revealed that the model could generate a set of first-stage reasonable CO2 distribution and facilities capacity expansion schemes to maximum system benefits and the highest feasibility.Besides,a set of two-stage CO2 outsourcing purchases and facilities capacity expansion in reserve storage regions solutions were also generated to address the gas oversupplies and shortage issues.The modeling approach enriches the current CO2 utilization and storage dis-tribution research content under multiple uncertainties.

    查看更多>>摘要:The evaluation of the efficiency and feasibility of energy transition and air pollution control at the city level is one of the key points in addressing environmental problems and achieving the goals of CO2 emission reduction and carbon neutrality in China.In this study,an inte-grated method is developed on the basis of the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) and life cycle assessment (LCA).The energy demands and environmental co-benefits in Jinan,one of the low-carbon city pilots in China,are quantitatively evaluated under three policy scenarios:low-carbon (LC) policy scenario,pollution control (PC) policy scenario,and deep-level cut of CO2 emissions (DCC) scenario from 2016 to 2050.From 2016 to 2030,the PC policies would be more powerful than the LC policies in terms of energy demand decrease.From 2030 to 2050,the LC policies would be more efficient than all the other policies.Promoting energy-saving buildings in the LC scenario would contribute to the continual decline in energy demands.In the DCC scenario,CO2,PM2.5,PM10,CO,NOx and SO2 emissions would decline by more than 71.4%relative to the records in 2016.Global warming potential,human toxicity potential,photochemical ozone creation potential,particulate matter formation potential,and acidification potential would also decrease by 81.8%-88.5%.On the basis of the integrated city-level LEAP and LCA method,this study quantifies the various environmental impacts of urban decarbonization policies and provides science-based references for urban low-carbon transformation.

    查看更多>>摘要:The simulation of global and regional energy system transition and its potential mitigation cost could intuitively reflect the need for earlier climate mitigation actions.To explore the possible transitions of global and regional energy system,this study applied a 14-region energy system model (GTIMES) with scenarios designed using Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) with Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs),and detailed depicts the quantification of SSPs trajectories into GTIMES model.Modeling results show that:1) Global energy-related CO2 emissions will reach 37-74 Gt by 2050 under reference scenarios,while they will decrease to 12-14 Gt under higher possibility pathways to reach 2 ℃ target,with ratios of non-fossil fuel round to 42%-46%.2) Electrification level has to increase noticeably in regional transition with a global average level of about 44% to achieve significant emission reduction.3) Higher level of mitigation cost would happen with the constraint mitigation target,as well as social and economic trajectories chosen.Therefore,following trajectories of sustainable development is necessary.
