英文摘要: Using tree-ring data from the northernmost marginal area of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) in North China, May-July mean Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) was reconstructed back to 1767. AD. The reconstruction captured 52.8% of the variance over the calibration period from 1945 to 2005. AD and showed pronounced pluvial periods during 1850-1905, 1803-1811 and 1940-1961 and dry periods during 1814-1844, 1916-1932 and 1984-2012. These anomalous periods have previously been reported in other parts of North China. Spatial correlation analyses and comparisons with other hydroclimatic indices in North China indicated that our new PDSI reconstruction could represent spatial and temporal drought variability in this region well. Our work also suggested that the drying tendency currently observed in the northern part of North China (including the study area) is consistent with the weakening of the EASM. Meanwhile the drying trend was seemingly restrained at present in the southern part of North China. Spatial correlation patterns with global sea surface temperature (SST) indicated that the regional hydroclimatic variability in North China was tightly linked to SST over the joining area of Asia and Indian-Pacific Ocean (AIPO), especially over the tropical western Pacific. When SST from prior November to current July (NJ-SST) in the AIPO area was anomalously high (low), the thermal contrast between Asian land and ocean was weakened (strengthened), and the EASM was correspondingly weakened (strengthened), thereby causing droughts (pluvials) in North China. The results of this study do not only provide useful information for assessing the long-term climate change in North China, but also suggest that abnormal variability in NJ-SST over the AIPO area could be used to forecast hydroclimatic conditions in North China. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
