讲座摘要:
热浪事件是指日最高气温至少连续三天超出气候平均态90百分位阈值的极端高温事件。近年来,极端热浪在北半球频繁发生,造成了大量生命死亡,并引发了可怕的森林野火等。王春在研究员将通过观测数据和气候模式展示过去发生极端热浪事件的成因及其未来发展趋势,并确定热浪发展、成熟和消亡各阶段对应的不同大气环流型态。第六次国际耦合模式比较计划(CMIP6)模式分析发现,温室气体的排放是日最高气温增加的主要原因。在全球变暖的情景下,未来(到2100年)发生极端热浪事件的概率将提高32%,夏季将持续175天。本次讲座也将探讨海洋在极端天气事件中的潜在作用并简要回顾太平洋、印度洋和大西洋三大洋间的相互作用对气候和极端天气事件的影响。
Abstract:
A heatwave event is defined as daily maximum temperature exceeding the 90th percentile of a threshold for at least 3 days. During the recent years, extreme heatwaves occurred frequently in the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in extensive loss of life, a spate of horrific wildfires, and so on. This talk uses observational data and climate models to show why extreme heatwave events occurred in the past and what extreme heatwaves look like in the future. Several atmospheric circulation patterns are identified in association with the development, mature and decaying phases of the heatwaves. Climate models from the coupled model intercomparison project phase 6 show that greenhouse gases are the main reason for the long-term increase of average daily maximum temperature during the past and future. Model simulations show that the occurrence probability of extreme heatwave events will increase 32% in the coming years and the summer will last 175 days under a scenario of global warming by 2100. The talk will also discuss the potential roles of the oceans in extreme weather events and briefly review the impacts of three-ocean interactions (the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans) on climate and extreme weather events.
