Abstract

[Objective] Most existing studies on the response relationship between runoff variations and meteorological drought and flood characteristics focus on annual, seasonal, monthly, or weekly scales. This study aims to clarify the quantitative response relationship between meteorological drought and flood characteristics at the daily scale and runoff in the Jialing River Basin, and to effectively evaluate the impact of extreme meteorological drought and flood events on the flow process. [Methods] Based on long-term daily precipitation and flow data from 1989 to 2022, this study employed the SWAP index method and run theory to identify meteorological drought and flood events at the daily scale in the Jialing River Basin. Traditional multiple regression and emerging machine learning models were compared to simulate the internal relationship between meteorological drought and flood characteristics and flow change, revealing the response of runoff variation to drought and flood characteristics. [Results] The results showed that from 1989 to 2022, a total of 68 meteorological drought events occurred in the Jialing River Basin, leading to an average reduction of 48.25% in flow at the Beibei station. Compared to drought duration and intensity, the timing of drought events had a more significant impact on runoff variation and was the primary controlling factor influencing runoff variation. The support vector regression model considering only this factor could more accurately evaluate the change rate of flow caused by drought. During the same period, 40 meteorological flood events occurred in the Jialing River Basin, leading to an average increase of 130.46% in flow at the Beibei station. The accumulated precipitation before the flood peak had the greatest impact on the change rate of flow, and the timing of maximum precipitation before the flood peak had the greatest impact on the timing of flood peak. Multiple regression models were recommended to evaluate the response relationships between flood characteristic factors and the change rate of flow, as well as the timing of flood peak. To evaluate the impact of flood events on peak flow, the random forest model was recommended. The accumulated precipitation before the flood peak was the primary controlling factor influencing peak flow variation. [Conclusion] This study innovatively explores the response relationship between meteorological drought and flood characteristics at the daily scale and runoff variation in the river basin. The findings indicate that emerging machine learning models, such as support vector machines and random forests, can effectively simulate the complex mechanisms through which meteorological drought and flood events affect runoff in the river basin. This has significant implications for the scientific evaluation and prediction of the impact of extreme climate events on runoff characteristics.

Flash drought is characterized by a period of rapid drought intensification with impacts on agriculture, water resources, ecosystems, and the human environment. Addressing these challenges requires a fundamental understanding of flash drought occurrence. This study identifies global hotspots for flash drought from 1980-2015 via anomalies in evaporative stress and the standardized evaporative stress ratio. Flash drought hotspots exist over Brazil, the Sahel, the Great Rift Valley, and India, with notable local hotspots over the central United States, southwestern Russia, and northeastern China. Six of the fifteen study regions experienced a statistically significant increase in flash drought during 1980-2015. In contrast, three study regions witnessed a significant decline in flash drought frequency. Finally, the results illustrate that multiple pathways of research are needed to further our understanding of the regional drivers of flash drought and the complex interactions between flash drought and socioeconomic impacts.© 2021.

Abstract
基于1960—2020年鄱阳湖流域及周边29个国家气象站的连续观测资料,通过计算标准化降水蒸发指数(SPEI)并结合游程理论,研究分析了气象干旱的区域性特征及干旱过程演变。结果表明:①鄱阳湖流域月尺度气象干旱的发生频率为31.7%~34.8%,不同等级干旱发生频率的空间格局差异明显;②春、秋季节流域尺度SPEI呈现微弱下降趋势,干旱影响范围呈不显著的增加趋势,夏、冬季节情况与此相反;③就干旱区域性特征而言,鄱阳湖流域季节性气象干旱以全流域性干旱和局域性干旱为主(发生频率分别为29.5%和23.4%),区域性干旱和部分区域性干旱的发生频率(分别为10.7%和5.7%)相对较低;④游程理论揭示在过去的61 a间共发生50次流域尺度气象干旱事件,干旱事件的发生频次随干旱历时的增加显著减少,其中干旱历时最长的可达49个月;⑤流域尺度气象干旱事件的历时、峰值烈度以及总烈度的演变呈现较强的年代际波动特征;⑥干旱历时与总烈度之间存在显著的线性关系,与峰值烈度之间存在显著的幂函数关系,与平均烈度之间的相关关系不明显。这些研究结果明晰了鄱阳湖流域气象干旱的区域性特征与干旱过程演变,为合理开展流域气象干旱影响评估和制定防范策略提供科学依据。

Abstract
基于长江流域212个气象站点1961-2017年的日降水资料,借助标准化加权平均降水指数(SWAP),结合多门槛游程理论,提出一种识别旱涝急转事件的新方法。方法应用于旱涝急转事件高发的长江流域,分别从典型站点旱涝事件分析、区域典型旱涝急转事件分析、旱涝急转事件时空分布规律分析等角度,探讨了长江流域1961-2017年旱涝急转事件规律。结论显示:①SWAP指数对于旱涝事件具有良好的识别能力。②聚类方法可聚合相似旱涝急转事件,2011年长江中下游旱涝急转事件中干旱事件占主导地位,持续时间远长于洪涝事件。③ 长江流域旱涝急转事件呈现明显的区域规律:上游发生频率较低,中下游偏高;此外,长江流域多数分区近期旱涝急转事件发生频率呈现上升趋势。研究结果表明,基于SWAP指数并结合多门槛游程理论的方法能够比较准确地识别旱涝急转事件,可进一步应用于旱涝急转事件的预测及评估中。

A new method was proposed to identify drought-flood transition events by combining a drought-flood index (Standard Weighted Average Precipitation, SWAP) with the multi-threshold theory. This method was tested in the Yangtze River Basin using daily precipitation data from 212 stations for the 1961-2017 period. With this method, the meteorological drought and rainstorm flood in the representative station were identified, and representative regional drought-flood transition events and spatiotemporal patterns of drought-flood transition were analyzed. The results show that: SWAP is an effective index to identify the meteorological drought and rainstorm flood. K-means clustering can classify similar drought-flood transition events into one cluster. The drought event plays a dominate role in drought-flood transition events for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin in 2011, and the drought lasts for a much longer duration than the flood during the drought-flood transition event. Drought-flood transition events show an obvious regional pattern for the Yangtze River Basin with low frequency for the upper reaches and high frequency for the middle and lower reaches. In addition, the drought-flood transition frequency presents an increasing trend recently for most parts of the Yangtze River Basin. Overall, the results imply that the proposed method combining meteorological drought index with multi-threshold theory is capable of identifying drought-flood transition events, and can be further used for predicting drought-flood transition events.

Abstract
高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)可以有效促进人体内胆固醇的代谢外排,其水平的高低与患心血管疾病的风险呈负相关关系,是心血管疾病的预防与保护因素。厘清我国中老年人群HDL-C水平的地理分异特征及环境影响因素,对我国心血管疾病防治工作的开展有重要意义。论文基于中国中老年人纵向追踪调查,利用全局空间自相关、冷热点分析等方法阐释中国中老年人群HDL-C水平的空间分异特征及变化趋势,同时对比引入随机森林回归模型及多元线性回归方法探讨HDL-C水平空间分布的环境影响因素及其指示作用。结果表明:中国中老年人群HDL-C水平表现为女性高于男性、农村高于城镇,具有明显的地域差异性,整体呈现出&#x0201c;北低南高,中间过渡&#x0201d;的分布格局,且北方出现了以内蒙古、河北、辽宁为代表的低值聚集区,南方出现了以广东、广西、云南为代表的高值聚集区;SO<sub>2</sub>、NO<sub>2</sub>、降水、气压、PM<sub>10</sub>和PM<sub>2.5</sub>是影响中老年人群HDL-C水平差异分布的主要环境因素,其中高浓度的空气污染物是造成HDL-C值较低的危险因素,充沛的降水和低压环境是防治HDL-C值较低的保护因素。因此,今后关于HDL-C血脂异常防控工作在全国各地应注重其空间分布规律,重点加强对HDL-C低值区的监测,以达到因地制宜、精准防控的目的。
