采用1960-2009年112个地面观测站和21个探空站气象资料,分析中国西北地区近50年夏季0℃层高度和平均气温变化趋势。结果表明:西北地区近50年来夏季0℃层高度平均值为4675.7m,在1987年以前表现为下降趋势,平均每年下降5.6m,而1987年以后表现为显著的上升趋势,平均每年上升2.6m;夏季平均气温与0℃层高度变化趋势大致相同,西北气候显著转型前后表现出相反的变化趋势,且1987年以来夏季平均气温增加急剧,平均每10年上升0.53℃。1960年以来夏季0℃层高度在北京时间08时该区大部分地区表现出显著的上升趋势,而在20时大部分地区表现出相反的变化趋势,1987年以来在08时和20时大部分地区夏季0℃层高度都为上升趋势;50年来大部分地区夏季平均气温都表现为上升趋势,乌鲁木齐和秦巴山地则表现为显著的下降趋势。西北不同气候区的夏季0℃层高度和平均气温变化也有一定的差异。西北地区夏季0℃层高度和平均气温具有较好相关性,东部季风区相关性最差,青藏高寒区最好。
Based on the data of 112 meteorological stations and 21 aerological stations in Northwest China from 1960 to 2009,the variation of 0 ℃ isotherm height and mean temperature in summer was analyzed.The result indicated that the mean height of 0 ℃ isotherm in summer was 4675.7 m during 1960-2009,with an annual decrease of 5.6 m before 1987 and an annual increase of 2.6 m after 1987.The ground temperature showed a similar annual trend at the 0 ℃ isotherm height,which was converse around the climatic mutation in Northwest China,with a considerable increase rate of 0.53 ℃ per decade after 1987.During 1960-2009,in most parts of Northwest China,the 0 ℃ isotherm height at Beijing Time 8:00 in summer increased significantly,and the height at Beijing Time 20:00 decreased.However,during 1987-2009,the 0 ℃ isotherm height in most parts of Northwest China increased at Beijing Time 8:00 and 20:00.A marked increasing trend of mean temperature in summer was observed in most parts of Northwest China,but the trend was opposite in Urumqi and Qinling-Daba Mountains.For the different climatic zones,the main trend and correlation between 0 ℃ isotherm height and mean temperature in summer varied spatially.The correlation was significant in the Cold Region on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,less significant in the Arid Region in Northwest China,and not significant in Monsoon Region in eastern China.
