A cluster...Due to global warming, extreme weather and climate events are becoming more frequent, highlighting the need to explore the changing characteristics of precipitation in China, including extreme precipitation. A clustering algorithm was developed to classify summer(June, July, and August) daily precipitation in China from 1961 to 2020, considering spatial distribution, standard deviations, and frequency of extreme precipitation events. The results reveal six distinct precipitation climate zones, a classification that differs from previous divisions. While overall precipitation has decreased in most regions, the frequency of extreme precipitation events has increased across all clusters, indicating a shift in precipitation distribution patterns. Analysis shows that the weakened Lake Baikal blocking high and strengthened Mongolian cyclone influence the arid region in northwest China(Cluster 1), which is characterized by the lowest precipitation.The transition zone between the monsoon and arid region(Cluster 2) is affected by the Mongolian cyclone, water vapor transport from the Indian Ocean, and shifts in the monsoon boundary. Clusters 3 and 4 represent areas associated with advancement and retreat of the summer monsoon. In the Meiyu region, two distinct subregions have been identified exist.Cluster 4 is primarily influenced by the East Asia-Pacific wave train. Despite sharing similar climate drivers and proximity,Clusters 4 and 5 differ significantly due to topographic variations and disparate levels of urbanization. Cluster 5 exhibits a higher average precipitation, greater variability, and more frequent extreme events. Cluster 6 exhibits the highest overall precipitation in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, where abundant water vapor contributes to a higher frequency of extreme precipitation. In addition, anthropogenic activities and urbanization significantly influence precipitation in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta regions. This research proposes a precipitation classification scheme integrating multiple precipitation parameters, providing support for risk management and mitigation strategies in the face of increasing extreme precipitation events.展开更多

Hence, the primary objective of this research is to introduce a novel framework termed Machine-Learning Clustering-Merging Algorithms(ML-CMAs) to evaluate EPEs using SPPs and Auxiliary Data(AD). Daily precipitation measurements were utilized for training and evaluating EPE estimates over Iran, which is comprised of arid and semi-arid regions. Statistical analysis and evaluation of five SPPs demonstrated that during EPE occurrences, all products face challenges in precipitation estimation, and using these products individually is not recommended. Among the SPPs, Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation(MSWEP) performed best for heavy(>20 mm d–1) and extreme(>40 mm d–1)precipitation events, followed by Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation(GSMa P), Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement(IMERG), Climate Prediction Center morphing technique(CMORPH), and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks Dynamic Infrared-Rain Rate(PERSIANN-PDIR). The findings indicate that all proposed methods based on ML-CMAs could estimate precipitation rates more accurately than SPPs and improve statistical indices. The seasonal assessment and spatial analysis of statistical metrics of the overall daily precipitation results for all periods and climates revealed that all methods based on ML-CMAs performed well in all seasons and at nearly all measurement stations. Using unsupervised K-means++ classification for clustering EPEs and Deep Neural Network(DNN) and Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) methods for merging the MLCMAs reduced the error rate of SPPs in EPE estimation by approximately 50%. Therefore, incorporating ML-CMAs along with PWV as AD can significantly improve the performance of SPPs in evaluating EPEs over the study region.展开更多

Nucleation theory and the solubility product of niobium, carbon, and nitrogen in austenite have been used to derive equations for the start time of precipitation as a function of temperature and composition. The value of n in Avrami equation was determined using the available experimental data from the published reports, which indicated that n is a constant independent of temperature and the end time of precipitation is a function of n and the start time of precipitation. The values of the start time and end time of precipitation predicted by the new model are compared with the experimental values and a good agreement was obtained between both.展开更多

Previous studies have identified a link between land–atmosphere coupling and the individual roles of each factor, but the synergistic effect of the two factors remains unclear. This study considers the covariation of evapotranspiration and precipitation to assess evapotranspiration–precipitation(ET–P) coupling across northern China,exploring its spatial variations and their linkage to water and heat factors. Our findings reveal a transition from strongly positive coupling in the northwest to weakly negative coupling in the southeast, peaking in spring. These spatial variations are attributable to water(soil moisture) and heat(air temperature), which explain 39% and 25% of the variability,respectively. The aridity index(AI), a water–heat synergy factor, is the dominant factor, explaining 66% of the spatial variation in ET–P coupling. As the AI increases, ET–P coupling shifts from strongly positive to weakly negative, with an AI around 0.7. This shift is determined by a shift in the evapotranspiration–lifting condensation level(LCL) coupling under an AI change. Regions with an AI below 0.7 experience water-limited evapotranspiration, where increased soil moisture enhances evapotranspiration, reduces sensible heat(H), and lowers the LCL, resulting in a negative ET–LCL coupling.Conversely, regions with an AI above 0.7 experience energy-limited evapotranspiration, where the positive ET–LCL coupling reflects a positive H–LCL coupling or a positive impact of the LCL on evapotranspiration. This analysis advances our understanding of the intricate influences of multifactor surface interactions on the spatial variations of land–atmosphere coupling.展开更多

With the exceptional heat, weather and climate extremes were common across the world. In particular, 2024 has seen a remarkable run of extreme precipitation events and resulting impacts. Here, we provide an overview of the most notable extreme events of the year, including extreme precipitation and floods, tropical cyclones, and droughts. The characteristics and impacts of these extreme events are summarized, followed by discussion on the physical drivers and the role of global warming.Finally, we also discuss the future prospects in extreme event studies, including impact-based perspectives, challenges in attribution of precipitation extremes, and the existing gap to minimize impacts from climate extremes.展开更多

文摘Based on reanalysis data from 1979 to 2021,this study explores the spatial distribution of the Southern Indian Ocean Dipole(SIOD)and its individual and synergistic effects with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)on summer precipitation in China.The inverse phase spatial distribution of sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTAs)in the southwest and northeast of the southern Indian Ocean is defined as the SIOD.Positive SIOD events(positive SSTAs in the southwest,negative SSTAs in the northeast)are associated with La Niña events(Central Pacific(CP)type),while negative SIOD events(negative SSTAs in the southwest,positive SSTAs in the northeast)are associated with El Niño events(Eastern Pacific(EP)type).Both SIOD and ENSO have certain impacts on summer precipitation in China.Precipitation in the Yangtze River basin decreases,while precipitation in southern China increases during pure positive SIOD(P_PSIOD)events.During pure negative SIOD(P_NSIOD)events,the changes in precipitation are exactly the opposite of those during P_PSIOD events,which may be due to differences in the cross-equatorial flow in the southern Indian Ocean,particularly in low-level Australian cross-equatorial flow.When positive SIOD and CP-type La Niña events occur simultaneously(PSIOD+La_Niña),precipitation increases in the Yangtze-Huaihe River basin,while it decreases in northern China.When negative SIOD and EP-type El Niño events occur simultaneously(NSIOD+El_Niño),precipitation in the Yangtze-Huaihe River basin is significantly lower than during P_NSIOD events.This is caused by differences in water vapor originating from the Pacific Ocean during different events.

文摘Northeast China(NEC),a critical agricultural and ecological zone,has experienced intensified hydrological variability under global warming,with cascading impacts on food security and ecosystem resilience.This study utilized observational data and two new generation reanalysis products(i.e.,the fifth major global reanalysis produced by ECMWF(ERA5)and the Japanese Reanalysis for Three Quarters of a Century(JRA-3Q))to investigate the shift changes in precipitation in NEC around 2000 and associated water vapor transport.The analysis identified a pivotal interdecadal shift in 1998/99,transitioning from moderate increases(17.5 mm/10 yr during 1980-1998)to accelerated but more variable precipitation growth(85.4 mm/10 yr post-1999).While the mean precipitation during the post-shift period decreased,enhanced anticyclonic circulation amplified moisture divergence over continental NEC,redirecting vapor flux toward coastal regions.Crucially,trajectory analysis demonstrated regime-dependent moisture sourcing:midlatitude westerlies dominated during wet extremes(44% of trajectories in 1998),whereas East Asian monsoon flows prevailed in drought years(36% of trajectories in 2007).The post-1998 period exhibited increased reliance on localized recycling(45%of mid-tropospheric trajectories),reflecting weakened monsoonal inflow.These findings highlight NEC’s growing vulnerability to competing moisture pathways and atmospheric blocking-a dual mechanism that explains rising extremes despite declining mean precipitation.By reconciling dataset discrepancies(ERA5 vs.JRA-3Q trends)and elucidating circulation-precipitation linkages,this work provides actionable insights for climate-resilient agriculture in NEC’s water-stressed ecosystems.

文摘Using multi-source reanalysis data,this study examines the relationship between the tropical Pacific-Atlantic SST Dipole Mode(TPA-DM)and summer precipitation in North China(NCSP)on the interannual timescale during the period of 1979-2022.The results show that the TPA-DM,the dominant pattern of interannual variability in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic regions,exhibits a significant negative correlation with NCSP.The positive phase of TPA-DM induces subsidence over the Maritime Continent through a zonal circulation pattern,which initiates a Pacific-Japan-like wave train along the East Asian coast.The circulation anomalies lead to moisture deficits and convergence subsidence over North China,leading to below-normal rainfall.Further analysis reveals that cooler SST in the Southern Tropical Atlantic facilitates the persistence of the TPA-DM by stimulating the anomalous Walker circulation associated with wind-evaporation-SST-convection feedback.

文摘Global land monsoon precipitation(GLMP)is highly sensitive to changes in interhemispheric thermal contrast(ITC).Amplified interhemispheric asymmetries of GLMP due to enhanced ITC driven by high-level anthropogenic emissions are expected to simultaneously increase the probability of regional floods and droughts,threatening ecosystems within global terrestrial monsoon regions and the freshwater supply for billions of residents in these areas.In this study,the responses of GLMP to the evolution of ITC toward the carbon neutrality goal are assessed using multimodel outputs from a new model intercomparison project(CovidMIP).The results show that the Northern Hemisphere-Southern Hemisphere(NH-SH)asymmetry of GLMP in boreal summer weakens during the 2040s,as a persistent reduction in well-mixed greenhouse gas(WMGHG)emissions leads to a downward trend in the ITC after 2040.At the same time,the reduction in WMGHG emissions dampens the Eastern Hemisphere-Western Hemisphere(EH-WH)asymmetry of GLMP by inducing La Niña-like cooling and enhancing moisture transport to Inner America.The resulting increases in land monsoon precipitation(LMP)may alleviate drought under the global warming scenario by about 19%-25%and 7%-9%in the WH and SH monsoon regions,respectively.However,a persistent reduction in aerosol emissions in Asia will dominate the increases in LMP in this region until the mid-21st century,and these increases may be approximately 23%-60%of the growth under the global warming scenario.Our results highlight the different rates of response of aerosol and WMGHG concentrations to the carbon neutrality goal,leading to various changes in LMP at global and regional scales.

文摘Due to global warming, extreme weather and climate events are becoming more frequent, highlighting the need to explore the changing characteristics of precipitation in China, including extreme precipitation. A clustering algorithm was developed to classify summer(June, July, and August) daily precipitation in China from 1961 to 2020, considering spatial distribution, standard deviations, and frequency of extreme precipitation events. The results reveal six distinct precipitation climate zones, a classification that differs from previous divisions. While overall precipitation has decreased in most regions, the frequency of extreme precipitation events has increased across all clusters, indicating a shift in precipitation distribution patterns. Analysis shows that the weakened Lake Baikal blocking high and strengthened Mongolian cyclone influence the arid region in northwest China(Cluster 1), which is characterized by the lowest precipitation.The transition zone between the monsoon and arid region(Cluster 2) is affected by the Mongolian cyclone, water vapor transport from the Indian Ocean, and shifts in the monsoon boundary. Clusters 3 and 4 represent areas associated with advancement and retreat of the summer monsoon. In the Meiyu region, two distinct subregions have been identified exist.Cluster 4 is primarily influenced by the East Asia-Pacific wave train. Despite sharing similar climate drivers and proximity,Clusters 4 and 5 differ significantly due to topographic variations and disparate levels of urbanization. Cluster 5 exhibits a higher average precipitation, greater variability, and more frequent extreme events. Cluster 6 exhibits the highest overall precipitation in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, where abundant water vapor contributes to a higher frequency of extreme precipitation. In addition, anthropogenic activities and urbanization significantly influence precipitation in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta regions. This research proposes a precipitation classification scheme integrating multiple precipitation parameters, providing support for risk management and mitigation strategies in the face of increasing extreme precipitation events.
文摘[Objective]Precipitation events caused by Super Typhoon Doksuri in Fujian Province were simulated and evaluated based on the WRF model to provide a reference for typhoon precipitation simulation and forecasting in southeast coastal areas of China.[Methods]The next-generation mesoscale numerical weather prediction model WRF V4.3(The Weather Research and Forecasting Model)was used to simulate the precipitation caused by Typhoon Doksuri in Fujian Province in 2023.Observations from 86 meteorological stations with hourly rainfall records were used to evaluate the model’s performance.Six evaluation indices were used,including the correlation coefficient(R),root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute error(MAE),equitable threat score(ETS),probability of detection(POD),and false alarm ratio(FAR).[Results](1)The temporal and spatial evolution of precipitation during Typhoon Doksuri was effectively captured by the WRF model.Precipitation intensity increased gradually from July 27 to 29,2023,with the heaviest rainfall concentrated in the northern and eastern coastal areas of Fujian Province.(2)Significant differences in model performance were observed in terms of R,RMSE,and MAE.The largest errors occurred in Putian City,while smaller errors were found in southwestern Fujian Province.The evaluation result of all six indices showed that the WRF model performed best in simulating daily precipitation compared to hourly,three-hourly,six-hourly,and twelve-hourly precipitation.(3)The R95p index indicated that the WRF model successfully captured the overall spatial distribution of extreme precipitation.However,extreme precipitation intensity was overestimated in certain coastal areas.(4)Despite accurately identifying the coastal regions of Fujian as being most affected,the WRF model failed to accurately simulate the spatial distribution and intensity of precipitation.The simulated precipitation centers showed discrepancies when compared with the observed centers.[Conclusion]Although the WRF model underestimated hourly precipitation,it successfully captured the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of rainfall caused by Typhoon Doksuri in Fujian Province.It reproduced the heavy rainfall centers in central Fujian Province,with daily precipitation peaks reaching up to 350 mm.This highlighted the severity of extreme rainfall caused by Typhoon Doksuri.

文摘Cloud type profoundly affects precipitation,but few studies have explored its impact on precipitation scale height.The authors calculated the ratio of the volume of each cloud type to the total cloud volume and partitioned the tropical region based on the dominant cloud types.Based on this,tropical regions were categorized into altocumulus control regions,stratocumulus control regions,deep convective cloud control regions,and transition regions.These regions exhibit unique characteristics:high precipitation scale heights and low surface precipitation rates in altocumulus control regions;low precipitation scale heights and low surface precipitation rates in stratocumulus control regions;and moderate precipitation scale heights with high surface precipitation rates in deep convective cloud regions.These features arise from differences in cloud characteristics,precipitation probability,and intensity,influenced by varying water vapor structures.In terms of physical mechanisms,altocumulus,stratocumulus,and deep convective cloud regions are characterized by total dryness,upper-level dryness with lower-level wetness,and total wetness,respectively.Upper-layer dryness leads to low cloud and precipitation structures,reducing the precipitation scale height,while lower-layer dryness increases it.Different humidity conditions in the upper and lower layers lead to variations in cloud type and volume distribution,ultimately affecting precipitation scale heights.This finding aids the mechanistic study of cloud precipitation physics in the tropics,providing valuable insights for developing numerical models and parameterizations.

文摘Deforestation has a significant influence on the hydrological cycle.Understanding the impact of deforestation on precipitation extremes is crucial for addressing global environmental challenges.This study investigates the impact of deforestation on precipitation extremes(R95p index,which represents the total amount of precipitation exceeding the 95th percentile of the reference period)in China,using outputs from three earth system models(CanESM5,IPSL-CM6A-LR,and MIROC-ES2L).All models,along with their multimodel mean,indicate a general decrease in R95p in Northeast China and southern China,and changes in Northwest China and the Tibetan Plateau are minimal.In contrast,the responses are model-dependent in the Huanghuai and Jianghuai regions.The overall nationwide multimodel mean suggests an annual R95p decrease of 10.7 mm,with individual model variations ranging from-28.0 to 2.0 mm.Further analysis using precipitation extremes scaling reveals a high spatial correlation with direct precipitation extremes changes on both annual and seasonal scales,albeit with slightly smaller magnitudes.Decomposing the response into dynamic and thermodynamic scaling,the authors find that dynamic contributions predominantly drive the changes in precipitation extremes on both annual and seasonal scales.The authors findings highlight the substantial role of dynamic processes in modulating the response of precipitation extremes to deforestation in China.

文摘Microbially induced calcite precipitation(MICP)and Enzyme induced calcite precipitation(EICP)techniques were implemented to reinforce the large-scale calcareous sand in this study.Then a coupled numerical model to predict the biochemical reactions and hydraulic characteristics of MICP and EICP reactions was proposed and verified by physical experiments.Results showed that:This model could describe the variations of bacteria,calcium,calcite,permeability over time reasonably.It is necessary to consider the influence of the calculation domain scale when simulating the convection-diffusionreaction in the multi-process of MICP and EICP reactions.The numerical and experimental values of calcite content are 0.841 g/cm^(3) and 0.861 g/cm^(3) for MICP-reinforced sand,0.263 g/cm^(3) and 0.227 g/cm^(3) for EICP-reinforced sand after 192 h of reaction.The reaction rate k_(rea) is an important parameter to control the calcite content.Accordingly,the permeability coefficient of MICP and EICP reinforced calcareous sand decreases by 32%and 18%.Due to the influence of substance transportation and calcite precipitation,the calcite shows a trend of decreasing firstly and then increasing with the enhancing of the initial permeability coefficient in biochemical reactions.The optimal injecting ratio q11:q12 in this study is 100:300 mL/min.The process for the application of MICP and EICP coupled numerical model is also recommended,which provides reference for engineering projects in ground improvement.

文摘The intensification of extreme precipitation(EP)under global warming presents a substantial risk to human safety and societal progress.Studying the specific impacts of global warming on rare EP events in China not only enhances the comprehension of these shifts,but also paves the way for the development of proactive strategies to alleviate associated damages.Results from large-ensemble simulation data demonstrate that global warming has led to an enhancement in once-in-a-decade EP events in parts of western and central China over the past few decades,with the strengthening of the South Asia high(SAH)caused by global warming playing a dominant role.The strengthening of the SAH corresponds to an intensification and westward extension of the western Pacific subtropical high in the lower troposphere.The region between these two systems experiences enhanced upward motion and increased southwesterly water vapor transport,leading to a rise in climatological precipitation in western and central China,thereby raising the threshold for once-in-a-decade EP events.
文摘Satellite Precipitation Products(SPPs) face challenges in detecting Extreme Precipitation Events(EPEs). Hence, the primary objective of this research is to introduce a novel framework termed Machine-Learning Clustering-Merging Algorithms(ML-CMAs) to evaluate EPEs using SPPs and Auxiliary Data(AD). Daily precipitation measurements were utilized for training and evaluating EPE estimates over Iran, which is comprised of arid and semi-arid regions. Statistical analysis and evaluation of five SPPs demonstrated that during EPE occurrences, all products face challenges in precipitation estimation, and using these products individually is not recommended. Among the SPPs, Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation(MSWEP) performed best for heavy(>20 mm d–1) and extreme(>40 mm d–1)precipitation events, followed by Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation(GSMa P), Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement(IMERG), Climate Prediction Center morphing technique(CMORPH), and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks Dynamic Infrared-Rain Rate(PERSIANN-PDIR). The findings indicate that all proposed methods based on ML-CMAs could estimate precipitation rates more accurately than SPPs and improve statistical indices. The seasonal assessment and spatial analysis of statistical metrics of the overall daily precipitation results for all periods and climates revealed that all methods based on ML-CMAs performed well in all seasons and at nearly all measurement stations. Using unsupervised K-means++ classification for clustering EPEs and Deep Neural Network(DNN) and Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) methods for merging the MLCMAs reduced the error rate of SPPs in EPE estimation by approximately 50%. Therefore, incorporating ML-CMAs along with PWV as AD can significantly improve the performance of SPPs in evaluating EPEs over the study region.

文摘On the basis of the thermodynamic calculation of precipitation and considering the effect of strain on the precipitation behavior and chemical composition （Si and Mn）, the kinetics of precipitation from austenite has been investigated for different temperatures and strains. Nucleation theory and the solubility product of niobium, carbon, and nitrogen in austenite have been used to derive equations for the start time of precipitation as a function of temperature and composition. The value of n in Avrami equation was determined using the available experimental data from the published reports, which indicated that n is a constant independent of temperature and the end time of precipitation is a function of n and the start time of precipitation. The values of the start time and end time of precipitation predicted by the new model are compared with the experimental values and a good agreement was obtained between both.

文摘Accurate seasonal precipitation forecasts,especially for extreme events,are crucial to preventing meteorological hazards and their potential impacts on national development,social activity,and security.However,the intensity of summer precipitation is often largely underestimated in many current dynamic models.This study uses a deep learning method called Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks(CycleGAN)to improve the seasonal forecasts for June-JulyAugust precipitation in southeastern China by the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology Climate Forecast System(NUIST-CFS 1.0).The results suggest that the CycleGAN-based model significantly improves the accuracy in predicting the spatiotemporal distribution of summer precipitation compared to the traditional quantile mapping(QM)method.Using the unpaired bias-correction model,we can also obtain advanced forecasts of the frequency,intensity,and duration of extreme precipitation events over the dynamic model predictions.This study expands the potential applications of deep learning models toward improving seasonal precipitation forecasts.

文摘Precipitation is often used for the preparation of La(OH)_(3)with precipitants of liquid alkali and ammonia.To solve the problems of high cost and wastewater pollution caused by common precipitants,the active MgO synthesized by pyrolysis was used as the precipitant to prepare La(OH)_(3).The species distribution of LaCl_(3)and LaCl_(3)-MgCl_(2)mixed system solution was calculated,and the kinetic analysis of the precipi-tation process was carried out to confirm the key factors influencing the precipitation of La(OH)_(3).The results show that La(OH)_(3)with D_(50)of 5.57μm,a specific surface area of 25.70 m^(2)/g,a rod-like shape,and MgO content of 0.044 wt%,was successfully prepared by adding active MgO.The precipitation ratio of La reaches 99.92%.The La(OH)_(3)precipitation is controlled by the diffusion process.The activity of MgO has a significant influence on MgO content in the precipitate.The preparation of La(OH)_(3)by active MgO provides a potential way for an eco-friendly preparation method of rare earth.

文摘Northern China is a prominent “hotspot” for land–atmosphere interactions, with substantial gradients in both moisture and thermal conditions. Previous studies have identified a link between land–atmosphere coupling and the individual roles of each factor, but the synergistic effect of the two factors remains unclear. This study considers the covariation of evapotranspiration and precipitation to assess evapotranspiration–precipitation(ET–P) coupling across northern China,exploring its spatial variations and their linkage to water and heat factors. Our findings reveal a transition from strongly positive coupling in the northwest to weakly negative coupling in the southeast, peaking in spring. These spatial variations are attributable to water(soil moisture) and heat(air temperature), which explain 39% and 25% of the variability,respectively. The aridity index(AI), a water–heat synergy factor, is the dominant factor, explaining 66% of the spatial variation in ET–P coupling. As the AI increases, ET–P coupling shifts from strongly positive to weakly negative, with an AI around 0.7. This shift is determined by a shift in the evapotranspiration–lifting condensation level(LCL) coupling under an AI change. Regions with an AI below 0.7 experience water-limited evapotranspiration, where increased soil moisture enhances evapotranspiration, reduces sensible heat(H), and lowers the LCL, resulting in a negative ET–LCL coupling.Conversely, regions with an AI above 0.7 experience energy-limited evapotranspiration, where the positive ET–LCL coupling reflects a positive H–LCL coupling or a positive impact of the LCL on evapotranspiration. This analysis advances our understanding of the intricate influences of multifactor surface interactions on the spatial variations of land–atmosphere coupling.

文摘Although magnesium-aluminum alloys,such as AZ80 and AZ91 have promising application potential in automotive,high-speed train and aerospace fields,their age-hardening response is generally not very appreciable.In this work,the aging-hardening response of AZ80 alloy was effectively enhanced by applying cold-rolling deformation before conducting conventional aging treatment at 200°C.Compared to the directly aged sample,the yield strength of the pre-rolling and aged sample was increased by 35 MPa.Electron microscope examination confirmed that profuse{10¯11}and{10¯11}-{10¯12}twins,consisting of high density of dislocations and stacking faults,were generated by cold rolling.Blocky or ellipsoidal Mg_(17)Al_(12)precipitates formed at the twin boundaries(TBs)during subsequent aging treatment.Crystallographic analysis indicated that the precipitates at{10¯11}TBs always held an identical Potter OR with both the matrix and twin,while the precipitates at{10¯11}-{10¯12}TBs exhibited three different ORs:Burgers OR,Potter OR and P-S OR with either the matrix or the twin.Moreover,recrystallized grains were found inside{10¯11}-{10¯12}double twins after peak-aging at 200°C,implying that precipitation and recrystallization might occur concurrently along TBs at a relatively low temperature.It was speculated that the highly stored energy inside twins and the high elastic energy between the precipitates and twins were driving factors for the occurrence of recrystallization.

文摘This past year, 2024, is on track to be the warmest year, joining 2023 as the two hottest years on record. With the exceptional heat, weather and climate extremes were common across the world. In particular, 2024 has seen a remarkable run of extreme precipitation events and resulting impacts. Here, we provide an overview of the most notable extreme events of the year, including extreme precipitation and floods, tropical cyclones, and droughts. The characteristics and impacts of these extreme events are summarized, followed by discussion on the physical drivers and the role of global warming.Finally, we also discuss the future prospects in extreme event studies, including impact-based perspectives, challenges in attribution of precipitation extremes, and the existing gap to minimize impacts from climate extremes.

文摘This study investigates trends in extreme precipitation events(EPEs)across Antarctica from 1979 to 2023,analyzing changes in EPE frequency,intensity,and the proportion of extreme to total precipitation.Using Self-Organizing Map(SOM)techniques,the study distinguishes the contributions from thermodynamic,dynamic,and interaction components in explaining these trends.Positive EPE occurrence trends are observed across the Bellingshausen and Weddell Seas,Dronning Maud Land,and parts of the Southern Ocean,with declines limited to Queen Mary Land.Thermodynamic factors,responsible for 96.0%of the overall trend,are driven by increased water vapor content in polar air masses.Dynamic contributions,representing 10.8%,are linked to a strengthened Amundsen Sea Low(ASL)associated with the Southern Annular Mode(SAM)and Pacific South American(PSA)trends.Interaction effects make a slightly negative contribution(-6.8%)to the overall trend.Variations in water vapor transport and vertical velocity tied to annual 500-hPa geopotential height anomalies further explain EPE trends.These findings provide insight into the atmospheric processes that influence Antarctic EPEs,with implications for understanding the climatic impact on the polar environment.

文摘Martensite is an important microstructure in ultrahigh-strength steels,and enhancing the strength of martensitic steels often involves the introduction of precipitated phases within the martensitic matrix.Despite considerable research efforts devoted to this area,a systematic summary of these advancements is lacking.This review focuses on the precipitates prevalent in ultrahigh-strength martensitic steel,primarily carbides(e.g.,MC,M_(2)C,and M_(3)C)and intermetallic compounds(e.g.,Ni Al,Ni_(3)X,and Fe_(2)Mo).The precipitation-strengthening effect of these precipitates on ultrahigh-strength martensitic steel is discussed from the aspects of heat treatment processes,microstructure of precipitate-strengthened martensite matrix,and mechanical performance.Finally,a perspective on the development of precipitation-strengthened martensitic steel is presented to contribute to the advancement of ultrahigh-strength martensitic steel.This review highlights significant findings,ongoing challenges,and opportunities in the development of ultrahigh-strength martensitic steel.
