2000年后全球气温的增温率显著下降,全球进入变暖减缓期。本文基于CRU(Climatic Research Unit)观测资料,分析讨论了2000年后全球及欧亚中高纬度地区全球变暖的减缓特征,评估了CMIP5(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5...2000年后全球气温的增温率显著下降,全球进入变暖减缓期。本文基于CRU(Climatic Research Unit)观测资料,分析讨论了2000年后全球及欧亚中高纬度地区全球变暖的减缓特征,评估了CMIP5(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5)试验多模式对全球变暖减缓的模拟及未来气温变化预估。结果表明,2000年后全球陆地平均地面气温的增温率大幅下降至0.14°C(10 a)-1,仅为1976~1999年加速期增温率的一半。全球陆地13个区域中有9个地区的增温率小于2000年前,4个地区甚至出现了降温。其中以欧亚中高纬地区最为特殊。加速期(1976~1999年)增温率达到0.50°C(10 a)-1,为全球陆地最大,2000年后陡降至-0.17°C(10 a)-1,为全球最强降温区,为全球变暖的减缓贡献了49.13%。并且具有显著的季节依赖,减缓期冬季增温率下降了-2.68°C(10a)-1,而秋季升高了0.86°C(10 a)-1,呈现反位相变化特征。CMIP5多模式计划中仅BCC-CSM1.1在RCP2.6情景下和MRI-ESM1模式在RCP8.5下的模拟较好地预估了全球及欧亚中高纬地区在2000年后增温率的下降以及欧亚中高纬秋、冬温度的反位相变化特征。BCC-CSM1.1在RCP2.6情景下预估欧亚中高纬地区2012年后温度距平保持在1.2°C左右,2020年后跃至2°C附近振荡。而MRI-ESM1在RCP8.5情景下预估的欧亚中高纬度温度在2030年前一直维持几乎为零的增温率,之后迅速升高。展开更多
