近半个世纪我国干旱变化的初步研究
Preliminary Studies on Variations in Droughts over China During Past 50 Years

摘要: 利用我国地面606个气象观测台站1951—2006年的逐日降水量和平均气温资料, 使用《气象干旱等级》国家标准中推荐使用的综合气象干旱指数(IC), 分析了近半个世纪以来全国及不同地区干旱变化情况。结果表明:总体而言, 全国干旱面积在近50年没有显著增加或减少的趋势, 但不同地区差异较大; 其中东北和华北地区干旱化趋势显著, 特别是20世纪90年代后期至21世纪初, 上述地区发生了连续数年的大范围严重干旱, 在近半个世纪中十分罕见; 东北、华北和西北地区东部的大部分地区在近50年中持续时间最长的干旱事件多发生在1980年以后的20多年中, 而且上述地区在近20多年来干旱发生得更加频繁。另外, 我国干旱化趋势最显著的地区与增暖幅度最大的地区有很大的一致性, 表明区域增暖在干旱变化中起着一定作用。Abstract: After preliminary quality control such as removing missing values, daily precipitation and temperature data of 606 observatory stations across China are selected from the original 731 station dataset to calculate drought index in different regions. Variations in droughts are analyzed based on the calculation results of the compound drought index IC. The drought index IC is recommended as an effective operational drought monitoring index from National Standard. IC has been applied by National Climate Center to monitor drought conditions across the whole country in recent years. The drought areas of different regions and the whole country during 1951-2006 are estimated by transferring the station observations into grid values. In order to discuss changes of drought areas in different regions during the past half century, Kendall'stau method is used to compute the trends of drought conditions.Results indicate that for the country as a whole, there is no obvious increasing or decreasing trend in drought area during past 50 years. Changes in drought areas are not even in different regions. Significant increases in drought area are found in North China and Northeast China with trends of 2.50%/10a and 2.31%/10a respectively. During the period of late 1990s to early of the 21st century, some regions in North China and Northeast China experience unprecedented drought conditions since 1951. There is no evident increasing or decreasing trend in drought areas in the mid-lower Basins of the Yangtze, South China and Southwest China. Decreases are found in Northwest China and the Tibetan Plateau since late 1980s. In China, the longest drought centers mainly occurred in western part of Northeast China, central North China and Yunnan Province etc. These extreme droughts often last for more than 4 months. Statistically most of the longest droughts occur in the period after the year 1980 during past 50 years in Northeast China, North China, eastern of Northwest China, South China and Sichuan Basin etc. Based on the calculations of drought days between the period of 1951-1978 and the period of 1979-2006, it suggests that droughts become much frequent in eastern and southern parts of Northeast China, North China, eastern Northwest China, South China and southern part of Yunnan Province in the later 28 years. While in the mid-lower Basins of the Yangtze and some regions of Southwest China, drought days decrease. No evident increases or decreases of drought days are found in other regions of the country.In addition, the drying trends in China such as North China, Northeast China and some regions of the eastern of Northwest China are mainly detected in the places where temperatures are increasing much more evidently across the country, which indicates that both high temperature and increased drying are produced by regional warming progress.
