Considerable Model–Data Mismatch in Temperature Over China During the Mid-Holocene: Results of PMIP Simulations
15 JUNE 2012 J I A N G E T A L . 4135 Considerable Model–Data Mismatch in Temperature over China during the Mid-Holocene: Results of PMIP Simulations DABANG JIANG Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, and Key Laboratory of Regional Climate-Environment Research for Temperate East Asia, and Climate Change Research Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China XIANMEI LANG International Center for Climate and Environment Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China ZHIPING TIAN Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, and Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China TAO WANG Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (Manuscript received 16 February 2011, in final form 8 January 2012) ABSTRACT Using the experiments undertaken by 36 climate models participating in the Paleoclimate Modeling In- tercomparison Project (PMIP), this study examines annual and seasonal surface temperatures over China during the mid-Holocene. Compared to the present or preindustrial climate, 35 out of the 36 PMIP models reproduced colder-than-baseline annual temperature, with an average cooling of 0.4 K, during that period. Seasonal temperature change followed closely the change in incoming solar radiation at the top of the at- mosphere over China during the mid-Holocene. Temperature was reduced (elevated) in boreal winter and spring (summer) in all of the PMIP models, with an average of 1.4 K (1.0 K) at the national scale. Colder (warmer)-than-baseline temperatures were derived from 14 of the 16 atmosphere-only (18 of the 20 coupled) models during the mid-Holocene boreal autumn. -

Qia* a College of Animal Science in Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, hohhot 010018,China b Station for Agricultural Technique Popularization in Inner Mongolia, hohhot 010018,China Abstract The study investigated the composition, community structure and diversity of zooplankton in Hulun Lake from January to October in 2009. The water quality and the type of nourishment of the lake were analyzed. The results showed forty one species of zooplankton were found, of which eighteen species were rotifera (43.9%), fourteen species were protozoa (34.1%), five species were copepoda (12.2%), three species were cladocera (7.3%), one species was ostracoda (2.4%). Among zooplankton, particularly protozoa were the dominant group throughout the study period and highest count was recorded in June while low incidence was observed in October. Zooplankton community is also correlated with physicochemical parameters. According to the dominant species and the ShannanWeiner diversity index, Hulun Lake was mesotrophic water. © 20112011 Published Published by by Elsevier Elsevier B.V. Ltd.

Introduction Zooplankton plays an important role in aquatic ecosystem. They perform several vital functions within lake ecosystems including the transference of energy and nutrients from producers to secondary consumers, the sequestration of nutrients, and the removal of phytoplankton from the water column. -
The Water Balance of China and Its Large River Basins
Hydrology for the Water Management of Large Riva- Basins (Proceedings of the Vienna Symposium, August 1991). IAHS Publ. no. 201, 1991. THE WATER BALANCE OF CHINA AND ITS LARGE RIVER BASINS LIU GUOWEI AND GUI YUENG Nanjing Institute of Hydrology and Water Resources China ABSTRACT The Yangtze River, Yellow River and other five large river basins are the largest ones in China, with a total area amount ing to about 4 333 687 km2 and covering both humid and arid/semi- arid regions. Based on the computation of atmospheric vapour transport, precipitation, évapotranspiration and runoff, water bal ance models for the whole country and its seven large river basins have already been developed. Through analyses with the models, some characteristics of hydrologie cycles in the river basins, includ ing the origins and routes of atmospheric moisture flux, the water circulation coefficients, etc., have been determined. The results provide a hydrologie basis for water resources assessment and management in China. INTRODUCTION China is located in the East Asian monsoon region, where the hydrologie cycle presents a monsoon climate regime. Every year in May, with the monsoon onset, the rainy season begins in the region south of 25 °N in China. During June to July, the rain band advances to the south of 35°N, and in the whole country the rainy season has developed by August. From November to March of the next year, it is a dry season, and there is a transient season from April to September. The whole country can be divided into three hydrologic-climatic zones: humid, semi-arid and arid zone.
