摘要:

Based on the Germany Koldwey Station's 1994-2003 conventional observation hourly data, this paper conducts a statistical analysis on the short-term climate characteristics for an arctic tundra region (Ny-Ålesund island) where our first arctic expedition station (Huanghe Station) was located. Affected by the North Atlantic warming current,this area has a humid temperate climate,and the air temperature at Ny-Ålesund rose above 0℃ even during deep winter season during our research period. The wind speed in this area was low and appeared most at southeast direction. We find that the temperature at Ny-Ålesund rose in the faster rate (0.68℃/10a) than those at the whole Arctic area. Compared with the floating ices where our expedition conducted in the Arctic, Ny-Ålesund was warmer and more humid and had lower wind speed. Comparison of the near surface air temperature derived by NCEP/NCAR reanalysis to the conventional measurements conducted at the Koldwey site in Ny-Ålesund area shows a good agreement for winter season and a significant difference for summer season.
