古浪河流域大气降水稳定同位素的时空特征及其环境意义

Space-Time Characteristics and Environmental Significance of the Stable Isotopes in Precipitation in the Gulang River Basin

依据古浪河流域古浪站(海拔2 085 m)和安远站(海拔2 700 m)所采集的降水样品和相关气象数据,分析了降水稳定同位素的时空变化、局地大气水线,讨论了温度、降水量和相对湿度与降水稳定同位素的关系.结果表明:(1)两站δ18O均呈现出夏秋季高、冬春季低的特征;(2)从古浪到安远站,δ18O的月均值随海拔升高呈下降趋势,相反地,d-excess随海拔升高呈增加趋势,反映了当气团沿着山坡不断抬升时,水汽再循环过程加强;(3)稳定同位素特征表明该区除了受干燥的环境和较强的蒸发影响外,可能还受到局地水汽再循环影响;(4)处于低海拔地区的古浪站的温度效应比安远站更显著,古浪河流域整体上没有呈现出降水量效应.该研究结果有助于进一步深入了解古浪河流域的水循环过程.

Based on the precipitation samples and meteorological data simultaneously collected during individual precipitation events at the Gulang (2085 m a.s.l.) and Anyuan stations (2700 m a.s.l.) in Gulang, this article analyzes the temporal variation and local meteroic water lines and discusses the relationship between precipitation stable isotopes and temperature and precipitation and relative humidity. The results show that:① Gulang and Anyuan have higher δ18O values in summer and autumn and lower δ18O values in spring and winter, respectively;② The vaule of δ18O decreases with increasing altitude, while the value of the d-excess increases, reflecting the gradual depletion of stable isotopes of precipitation when the air mass is rising along the slope;③ The slope and intercept of the local meteroic water lines deviate from that of the global meteroic water lines, showing that they may also be affected by local water vapor recirculation, except for the dry environment and strong evaporation effect;and ④ The temperature effect of Gulang in the low-altitude area is more significant than that of the Anyuan station and the Gulang River Basin does not show a precipitation effect. It has been proven that precipitation is not the fundamental factor determining the δ18O of the precipitation in arid areas. The results of this study are helpful to further understand the water circulation mechanism in the Gulang River Basin.
