Повний текст джерелаThis study examines diurnal variation of convection over western India, the Bay of Bengal, Indochina and the northern South China Sea during the 1991 northern summer monsoon using combined Japanese (GMS) and Indian (INSAT) geostationary satellite data, ECMWF 850 hPa wind data, and NCEP sea surface temperature analyses. The diurnal cycle is examined in terms of spatial and temporal structure prior to onset and during the monsoon. The northern South China Sea is examined to determine how different periods of synoptic influences resulted in an anomalously strong diurnal signal during June. The wind and SST data are used to examine the relationship between the diurnal variation of convection and both low level convergence and vertical latent heat fluxes. Convection over west India is most common during May and June and starts as a diurnal system over land that becomes organized and propagates westward over the east Arabian Sea. The Bay of Bengal follows the classic land-sea breeze model and convection is modulated by convergence between the land breeze and large- scale monsoon flow. The diurnal cycle is generally enhanced over the ocean during active phases of convective activity. The maximum latent heat fluxes generally occurs prior to maximum convection due to strong monsoon flow enhancing evaporation

Повний текст джерелаSince most people in West Africa, particularly those who live away from the shore, work within agriculture, reliable weather forecasts are important in the daily work. In this report, a literature study has been conducted to increase the knowledge about the complex and local weather phenomenon that causes rain. West Africa is dominated by rainforest and savannah, and the climate is characterized by the West African monsoon which gives rise to a wet season in the northern hemisphere summer and a dry season during the winter. The monsoon shows wide annual variability in its initial stages and forecasts that can predict its beginning is necessary to the farmers who have to decide when and what to plant. Out of many contributing factors, the sea surface temperature seems to be one of the main parameters that have an impact on the starting stage of the monsoon. The inter tropical convergence zone, ITCZ, is regarded as the northernmost part of the monsoon and it makes a sudden and relatively quick jump over about 5 degrees latitude, which is widely regarded as the start of the rainy season. A temporary pressure gradient caused by differences in temperature adjacent to the ITCZ is the reason for this jump. The dominant process that causes rainfall in West Africa is convection. Although a lot of convective precipitation falls in connection with the northern part of the monsoon, convective systems can appear inside the monsoon flow, often linked to African easterly waves.

Повний текст джерелаMost of the coast of Vietnam is currently eroding, an imbalance in the sediment budget that may be caused by overuse of river sediments for construction, subsidence associated with overuse of groundwater, over-exploitation of the littoral zone (coastal squeeze), and possibly by an increase in typhoon frequency and winter monsoon events. Assessment of sediment budget is needed and requires accurate evaluation of sediment transport in the coastal environment. In my PhD study, I use two close-range camera systems for nearshore monitoring: a land-based nearshore camera system for observing short-, medium- and long-term coastal hydro-morphodynamics and a drone for monitoring short-term events. Specifically, I used a camera system installed in Nha Trang beach, Viet Nam, from 05/2013 to 08/2016. The cross-shore profiles, shoreline positions and wave characteristics (height and period) extracted from the video data are calibrated with in-situ measurement from two field experiments during the Haiyan typhoon event. Then, the results on short-term and seasonal shoreline changes are analyzed -- and published. The study shows a marked seasonal evolution of Nha Trang shoreline and dramatic impact of cat-5 typhoons Nari and Haiyan with changes of 4 to 8 m in each case. However, the recovery to individual events is fast, as opposed to the effect of winter monsoon events. Our continuous video observations show for the first time that long-lasting monsoon events have more persistent impact (longer beach recovery phase) than typhoons. Using a shoreline equilibrium model, we estimate that the envelope of intra-seasonal events rather than monthly-averaged waves drives the seasonal shoreline behavior. Finally, the shoreline study suggests that the interplay between intensity and duration of intra-seasonal events may be of key significance. In the second part of this PhD study, a video-based bathymetry inversion technique is applied to long-term data with varying wave environment from swell to wind wave conditions.[...]

Повний текст джерелаIn dieser Arbeit werden Ergebnisse von Untersuchungen an den Sedimenten zweier afrikanischer Seen vorgestellt, die ein Archiv für Klimaveränderungen über einen Zeitraum von mehr als 200.000 Jahren darstellen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in dieser Arbeit auf dem letzten Glazial und dem Holozän (ca. 100.000 Jahre vor heute [nachfolgend als 100 kyr BP bezeichnet] bis heute). Grundlegende Voraussetzung für solche Studien ist ein gutes Verständnis der Ökosysteme in und um den See, sowie des gegenwärtigen Sedimentationsgeschehens. Deswegen beinhalten beide Seestudien Untersuchungen der heutigen Organismen, Böden, Gesteine, Wasserchemie und Sedimentablagerungen. Im Tswaing-See im nordöstlichen Südafrika wurden anhand eines 90 m langen Sedimentprofils Studien zur Sedimentzusammensetzung und Untersuchungen der Zusammensetzung und Qualität des organischen Materials durchgeführt. Sie zeigen einen Wechsel zwischen Phasen hohen detritischen Eintrags, während derer v.a. kaum autochthones organisches Material im See erhalten blieb, mit Phasen geringen Eintrags und dafür karbonatischer oder evaporitischer Sedimentation, die hohe Gehalte v.a. autochthonen organischen Materials aufweisen. Diese Phasen werden als relativ feuchte bzw. trockene Perioden interpretiert und folgen bis vor ca. 75 kyr BP Schwankungen der lokalen solaren Einstrahlung. Dieser Einfluss nimmt nach 75 kyr BP ab und azyklische feuchte Phasen werden beobachtet. Mögliche Ursachen sind Veränderungen in der ozeanischen Zirkulation und Verschiebungen in der Lage der Innertropischen Konvergenzzone (ITCZ); beides sind auch heute Haupteinflussfaktoren auf die Niederschläge in der Region. Die heute lebenden Organismen des Tswaing-Kraters wurden mittels Analysen der Biomarkerzusammensetzung und der Kohlenstoffisotopie charakterisiert und ihr Einfluss auf die heutigen Seeablagerungen untersucht. Dabei konnten zusätzlich Indikatoren für die Aktivität methanotropher Bakterien nachgewiesen werden. Der Vergleich heutiger Sedimente mit denen des Zeitraumes 14 bis 2 kyr BP zeigt deutliche Veränderungen sowohl in der Zusammensetzung, als auch in der Kohlenstoffisotopie der Biomarker, die mit Veränderungen in der Hydrologie erklärt werden können. Die gefundenen Hinweise auf feuchtere Bedingungen im Zeitraum älter als 10 kyr BP, für trockenere Verhältnissen zwischen 10 und 7.5 kyr BP und für die nachfolgende Wiederzunahme an Feuchtigkeit werden durch die sedimentologischen Ergebnisse unterstützt. Objekt der zweiten Seestudie ist der Challa-See am Fuß des Kilimanjaro. Hier werden heute im mm-Maßstab laminierte Sedimente gebildet, die mit Mikro-XRF-scanning auf Veränderungen in der Elementzusammensetzung untersucht wurden. Zusammen mit Untersuchungen der Mikrofazies und im Vergleich mit ersten Ergebnissen noch laufender Sedimentfallenstudien, mit meteorologischen Daten und Analysen des Umgebungsgesteins werden die saisonalen Veränderungen in der Temperaturverteilung, der Durchmischungstiefe, dem detritischen Eintrag und der Bioproduktivität des Sees in den Sedimenten nachvollziehbar. Der See ist in den feucht-warmen Perioden von Oktober bis Dezember und von März bis Mai stratifiziert. Während dieser Zeit erfolgt der Eintrag detritischen Materials und Kalziumkarbonat fällt aus; eine dunkle Lage mit hohen Gehalten an Fe und Ti und mit hohen Ca/Al- und niedrigen Mn/Fe-Verhältnissen bildet sich am Boden des Sees. Diatomeen blühen während der kühlen, windigen Periode von Juni bis September, wenn die Durchmischung bis auf etwa 60 m Tiefe Nährstoffe verfügbar macht. Die Ausfällung von Fe- und Mn-oxiden sorgt für hohe Mn/Fe-Verhältnisse; es bildet sich eine helle Lage auf dem Sediment. Trends im Mn/Fe-Verhältnis werden als Signal für Veränderungen in der Intensität oder Dauer der saisonalen Durchmischung interpretiert. Dies wird unterstützt durch parallele Trends im Gehalt an organischem Material und an biogenem Silizium, wie durch Analysen an einem 22 m langen Bohrkern gezeigt werden kann. Nach gut durchmischten und von erhöhtem Eintrag von außen geprägten Verhältnissen während des letzten Glazials erfolgt gegen 16 kyr BP ein Übergang zu stärker stratifizierten Bedingungen. Diese korrespondieren mit einem steigenden Seespiegel und verbreiteten Hinweisen auf feuchte Bedingungen im tropischen Ostafrika. Stärkere Durchmischung herrschte während der Jüngeren Dryas und von 11.4 bis 10.7 kyr BP. Diese Perioden entsprechen Zeiten verringerter Südwest- und vermutlich verstärkter Nordostmonsunintensität im Bereich des Indisch-Asiatischen Monsuns und spiegeln eine global beobachtete südliche Verschiebung der ITCZ wider. Nach einer kurzen stabilen, feuchten Phase im frühen Holozän nimmt die Durchmischung des Sees im Verlauf des Holozän wieder zu. Abrupte Ereignisse während des Holozän scheinen im Challa-See zeitgleich mit Veränderungen der Monsunintensität der Nordhemisphäre aufzutreten und bezeugen die starke klimatische Kopplung der niederen Breiten in globalem Maßstab.

Повний текст джерелаThe oceanic region located off the Senegalese and Mauritanian coasts is one of the most productive one in the world ocean. This is due to the upwelling system, which occurs during the winter season in this region. This seasonality is very specific. In particular, it differs from the well-known upwelling systems located along the eastern coast of the tropical oceans but further poleward such as along Morocco and the Iberian peninsula, the Californian coast, the Peru-Chili and the Benguela. These upwelling systems are maximum in summer. Several studies have investigated their sensitivity to global warming. Early studies have suggested that their intensity may increase in the future, but recent observations do not clear give robust evidence of this behavior. The winter senegalo-mauritanian upwelling system has been largely excluded from these studies, in spite of its crucial role for the socio-economical development of the populations of the surrounding region, whose food and income strongly depend on the halieutic resources. In this context, this study proposes an evaluation of the representation of this system in the CMIP5 climate models, and its response to climate change. Our analysis is based on characteristics of the upwelling in terms of wind forcing and sea surface temperature signature. In spite of some diversity in the model’s ability to represent the senegalo-mauritanian upwelling system, the results suggest that its intensity may rather decrease in the future, primarily because of a reduction of the wind forcing. In a second hand we propose an analysis of the inter-annual to decadal variability of the intensity of the upwelling based on recent reanalyses. This study focuses on the link with the monsoon and with large scale climate modes such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Atlantic Multi- decadal Oscillation (AMO). The link with the decadal variations of the West African Monsoon (WAM) during the opposite season is relatively clear. It is associated with anomalous trajectories of the ITCZ. The indices characterizing the upwelling are not always correlated with each other, showing that they are not yet very robust. They nevertheless indicate a marked variability at the decadal timescale partly associated with the AMO

Повний текст джерелаPopulation and ecosystems in monsoon regions are highly vulnerable in face of weather- and climate-related hazards as droughts, floods, and precipitation changes due to global warming, among others. This is the case of the southern tropical Andes, which includes the southern Peruvian Andes and the Bolivian and Chilean Andes north of 20S. In this Andean region, the unique seasonal precipitation maximum occurs during the December-March season, which is the period of the mature phase of the South America Monsoon System (SAMS). Indeed, December-March precipitation is the principal water source for ecosystems and socio-economic activities as livestock farming, agriculture, and human consumption. On the other hand, extreme precipitation events occurring in the dry season (June-August), when SAMS does not exist, is a source of hazard for the population by killing livestock, devastating crop fields, and causing losses of human lives. Improving our knowledge of the rainfall climatology of this region, anticipating possible long term changes, and improving our forecasting skills is thus of crucial importance. This requires to identify the atmospheric mechanisms controlling the austral summer and winter precipitation variability in this Andean region over a wide range of time-scales, from synoptic to multidecadal, and this is the object of this thesis.The lack of a good quality network of meteorological stations and the complex topography of this region have hindered the proper identification of these mechanisms. For this reason, different data sets as in situ and satellite-based precipitation products, as well as reanalysis and climate modeling data sets are used in this thesis.Analyzing the regional precipitation over the tropical Andes from 20S and 1N, we defined the southern tropical Andes as the region from 20S to 8S, where the unimodal annual cycle of precipitation with a seasonal maximum in the December-March season dominates. Indeed, the region south of 12S and above 3000 m.a.s.l is the most influenced, in terms of precipitation, by the mature phase of the SAMS. We also found that the demise of the SAMS together with the southward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in the February-April season involves a seasonal precipitation increment north of 8S. The onset of the SAMS, occurring in the September-November season, also creates a secondary seasonal precipitation maximum in the tropical Andes between 8S and 5S. In the season when the SAMS does not exist (June-August), western Amazon convection in association with extratropical perturbations trigger the most severe extreme precipitation events in the upper-elevation southern tropical Andes (>3000 m.a.s.l.).The analysis of the interannual variability indicates that, in addition to the Bolivian High, western Amazon convection is also a controlling mechanism of December-February precipitation over the upper-elevation southern tropical Andes. The existence of the relationship between precipitation and the two mechanisms, which are components of the SAMS, was confirmed by the use of the WRF model. While the Bolivian High explains the precipitation variability in the 1982-2002 period, western Amazon convection plays a more important role from 2002 onwards. This change in the controlling mechanism is, indeed, related to the long-term intensification of western Amazon convection, which is also associated with the less frequency of dry years in this Andean region. Thus, our results document for the first time and highlight the atmospheric connection existing between the western Amazon and the upper-elevation southern tropical Andes on different time-scales

Повний текст джерелаHow speciation, range shifting and reticulation through climatic oscillations combine to shape current patterns of local and regional diversity remains a key question in evolutionary biology. This can be investigated by using multi-scale analyses of closely related species assemblages in diverse communities, such as the lizards of Australia’s tropical savannas. An example of these is the understudied group of rainbow skinks (Carlia) that are broadly co-distributed across the Australian Monsoonal Tropics (AMT) region, and that stands out from most well-studied Carlia species occurring along the Australian east coast. The aims of this thesis were to: i) identify lineage diversity between two sympatric and closely related skinks and to use an integrative taxonomic approach to statistically test major lineages as species; ii) compare past responses of species with different climatic niche breadth that experienced the same climatic fluctuations; iii) infer the phylogenetic relationships of the rainbow skinks in a collaborative study; and iv) explore the occurrence of introgression in a group of six species that broadly cooccur in the AMT, using a dataset by target exon capture (>1000 loci). The investigation of lineage diversity discovered cryptic lineages mostly in the Kimberley region (north west of Australia). In an integrative taxonomic approach, these lineages were then statistically validated as new species using multispecies coalescent methods and morphological analyses, and subsequently described as C. insularis sp. nov and C. isostriacantha sp. nov. with genetic and morphological characters. The exploration of how concordant were the species responses with late Pleistocene climatic changes, identified contrasting responses by species with different climatic niches, suggesting that the narrow climatic specialist species was more sensitive to these changes. In addition, using multiple phylogenomic approaches, it contributed to a much improved and well-supported phylogeny for the rainbow skinks in comparison with a previous, poorly resolved tree. The new tree showed that the six Carlia species that co-occur in the AMT are actually closely related. Lastly, the analysis for the presence of introgression between the AMT sympatric species did not detect evidence of recent admixture, but identified patterns of ancestral introgression before the divergence of sister species, and some instances of introgression in the more climatic unstable Kimberley region. It also showed that by accounting for reticulated evolution with phylogenetic networks methods, a distinct topology from the overall well supported species tree can be observed, in this case with the clade inferred as introgressed appearing as more ancestral in the phylogeny. The results of this thesis have implications for the understanding of the processes driving cryptic species diversity and responses to past climatic change across this richm and understudied Australian Monsoonal Tropics biome.

Повний текст джерелаThe climate evolution of the southern sub-equatorial tropics during marine isotope stage (MIS)5a/b and the Holocene is explored using geochemical tracers from speleothems on Flores island, Indonesia. Oxygen isotope measurements from two precisely-dated stalagmites reveal that the Australian-Indonesian monsoon increased during the Younger Dryas (YD) cooling event, when Atlantic meridional overturning circulation was relatively weak. Monsoon precipitation intensified even more rapidly from 11 to 7 ka ago, when the Indonesian continental shelf was flooded by global sea-level rise. Analysis of oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δD) isotope ratios from speleothem fluid inclusions shows that inclusion-δ18O values vary in phase with speleothem calcite δ18O during the Holocene, confirming that calcite δ18O primarily reflects variations in the δ18O of meteoric rainfall. Cave drip-water temperatures, reconstructed from coupled measurements of δ18O in speleothem calcite and fluid inclusions, remained relatively constant through the Holocene but were significantly cooler during the YD, consistent with the high northern latitudes. To help confirm the stable isotope records, trace elements were used to reconstruct the position of the austral summer inter-tropical convergence zone and east Indonesian rainfall variability during the Holocene. Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios correlate significantly with one another, and with δ18O and δ13C, throughout the record suggesting that the trace element ratios were dominated by prior calcite precipitation, a process whereby degassing in the vadose zone during periods of low recharge causes deposition of calcite and disproportionate loss of Ca2+ ions (relative to Mg2+ and Sr2+) ‘upstream’ of the stalagmite. Comparison of speleothem δ18O time-series from Flores and Borneo shows that they vary in unison for much of the Holocene. However, there is an exception during the mid-Holocene when a distinct anomaly in δ18O in the Borneo record, possibly caused by a change in the circulation of the Australian-Indonesian summer monsoon (AISM) in response to a period of positive IOD-like conditions in the eastern Indian Ocean, occurred between the two regions. A stalagmite reconstruction of Indo-Pacific climate through the interval 84 - 91 ka shows that the lower-frequency oxygen isotope trend indicates that the AISM was largely controlled by local summer insolation during this time, while the carbon isotopes show a pattern that is closer linked with northern polar-latitude ice-core records. Most notably, an abrupt decrease in the temperature-controlled δ13C values at the MIS 5a/b transition occurs in parallel with GIS 21 in the GISP2 δ18O and CH4 records highlighting the strong connection between the IPWP and North Atlantic during the last glacial period.

Повний текст джерелаOn the intraseasonal timescale, extreme active and break phases of the ISM often bring about devastating floods and severe droughts. The concurrent buildup of the anomalous high over Central Asia and the arrival of tropical convection over northern India increase the likelihood of occurrence of a heavy rainy period over the NISM region. Two predictors may be used to predict the extreme active/break phases of the northern ISM: normalized 200-hPa geopotential height over Central Asia and outgoing longwave radiation over southern India. Once the mean of the two predictors exceeds a threshold unit 1.0, an extreme phase is anticipated to occur over northern India after six to seven days.
This study also reveals a significant, coupled intraseasonal variation between a Rossby wavetrain across the Eurasian continent and the summer monsoon convection in northwestern India and Pakistan (referred to as NISM hereafter). The time-lagged SVD analysis shows that the mid-latitude wavetrain originates from the northeastern Atlantic and traverses Europe to central Asia. The wavetrain enhances the upper-level high pressure and reinforces the convection over the NISM region; meanwhile, it propagates further toward East Asia along the wave guide provided by the westerly jet. After an outbreak of NISM convection, the anomalous central Asian high retreats westward.
This study investigates the most recurrent coupled pattern of interannual variability between the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitude circulation and the tropical convection (between 15°S and 30°N) during the northern summer (June to September). The leading singular value decomposition (SVD) pattern reveals a significant, coupled interannual variation between a circumglobal teleconnection (CGT) pattern and strong tropical convection pattern associated with the La Nina phase of Equatorial Eastern Pacific sea surface temperature. The CGT, having a zonal wavenumber five structure, is primarily positioned within a waveguide associated with the westerly jetstream. The spatial phases of CGT tend to lock to preferred longitudes. The CGT is accompanied by significant rainfall and surface air temperature anomalies in the continental regions of West Europe, European Russia, India, East Asia and North America. This implies that the CGT may be a source of climate variability and predictability in the midlatitude regions.

Monsoon trough is one of the major factors that influence the climate and typhoon activities in the west North Pacific Ocean. However, the structure of monsoon trough and tropical storms are often poorly simulated by the Global Climate Models (GCMs) due to their coarse resolutions. In this study, Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Regional Climate Model (RCM) at 30-km resolution is adopted to simulate the climatological feature of monsoon trough and tropical storms from 2000 to 2009. Numerical experiments with three different domains including NWP (105°E-180°, 0°-40°N), NP(105°E-120°W, 5°S-45°N), and IONWP (45°E-180°, 20°S-40°N) are conducted to investigate the relative contributions from tropical East Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and land-sea contrast to the monsoon trough. The results show that the gross features of large-scale circulations are well captured by all three experiments. Nevertheless, monsoon troughs are too strong, while subtropical highs are too weak in NWP and NP experiments. This causes the low-level convergence region simulated in NWP and NP experiments to the east of the observation. With the inclusion of Indian Ocean and land-sea contrast, the strength of monsoon trough, subtropical high, and low-level convergence are well represented in IONWP experiment. These large-scale circulations are closely related to the typhoon activities in all three experiments.
