2011/12冬季欧洲极寒天气的可能解释（请勿转载） 2011/12冬季发在欧洲大陆的极寒天气是2000年以来发在欧洲大陆最寒冷的极端灾害天气，持续时间长，损失惨重。我们迅速对这个问题进行了研究，并给出了一个新的理论解释，其结果已投《Geophys. Res. Lett.. 通过本文的研究可以预言在全球增暖的大背景下，这样的欧洲极寒天气还会增多。 CO2有两种作用：一引起全球增暖和NAO正位相事件的增多，但同时过强的CO2会引起大西洋storm track的增强，过强的大西洋Storm track会引起NAO从正位相转换成负位相，从而导致欧洲极寒天气的爆发。通过这样的大气内部过程的调节来部分抑制CO2引起的全球增暖，但全球增暖的趋势不会停止。 "Extreme cold events over Europe during the 2011/12 winter and their link with the regime transition of the North Atlantic Oscillation" by Luo and Yao (Submitted to Geophys. Res. Lett.) Abstract In this paper, a case study of the extreme cold European weather occurring during the 2011/12 winter is performed in order to provide a likely explanation for the outbreak of the extreme cold winter event. It is shown that the outbreak of the extreme cold European winter of 2011/12 is attributed to the regime transition of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). When the NAO transits from a positive NAO (NAO) event to an Atlantic-European blocking (ENAO-) event, the decline of the surface air temperature is enhanced over the European continent as well as the precipitation anomaly is enhanced (reduced) in the Northern (Central) Europe. Moreover, it is further found that before the NAO regime transition the Atlantic storm track can exhibit an enhanced Atlantic-European storm track in the Central Europe along the northwest-southeast direction. However, after the NAO transition begins, this storm track can be split into two branches so as to establish double storm tracks due to the ENAO- anomaly feedback. The southern storm track in the Central Europe is weakened and its spatial distribution is similar to that before the NAO transition, while the northern one is enhanced along the poleward side of the Northern Europe. Because the ENAO- event is long-lived, the persistent double storm tracks can be maintained in the European continent to produce persistent low temperatures and precipitation over Europe. Thus, the persistent double storm tracks in the European continent are crucial for the outbreak of the 2011/12 Europe extreme cold weather.
迈阿密冬季研讨会以一个不起眼的方式始自1968年。2011年是本研讨会系列中的第44届。 研讨会由迈阿密大学生物化学系（现在的生化分子生物学系）的比尔.威兰创立的。本意是作为生化系教授研究生和国内外知名科学家交流的一个平台。这些科学家一般是被我们用（迷人的）迈阿密的冬天“蒙”到迈阿密呆几天！ 自1977年起，会议重点一直集中在基因技术；很多二战后的从事基因技术的诺贝尔化学、生理学、或医学奖的得主都曾经作为发言者。1997年起，（迈阿密大学）米勒医学院的席尔威斯特尔综合癌症中心也加入到会议组织者行列。2006年，佛罗里达斯科瑞普斯研究所也作为合作者加入。 自1988年起，《自然》出版集团通过旗下的《自然生物技术》（原《生物技术》）开始参与研讨会的组织管理。在过去五年里《自然医学》也一直参加组织工作。根据研讨会话题的不同，其他自然子刊杂志也定期地为会议提供帮助。2011年，《自然遗传学》和《自然细胞生物学》参加了本次会议的组织工作。 另：参加组织这个研讨会对博主唯一的好处是有很多机会和自然子刊的编辑们接触，稿子不至于不送审就枪毙，可惜的是博主很难象饶毅教授那样做出那种水平的工作。 英文原文： The Miami Winter Symposia began in a small way in 1968. The 2011 event is the 44th in this annual series. The Symposia were created by Bill Whelan at the University of Miami's Department of Biochemistry (now, and Molecular Biology) of the Miller School of Medicine as a resource for its faculty and graduate students, who were thereby enabled to meet in person the nationally and internationally prominent scientists who were persuaded to share the plight of spending a few days in Miami in the winter! Since 1977, the meetings have focused on gene technology; many of the post-World War II Nobel prize winners in Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine who practiced gene technology have been speakers. Since 1997, the Miller School of Medicine's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center has also been involved in planning of the meeting, and in 2006, Scripps Florida officially joined as a partner. Nature Publishing Group has been involved with the symposia since 1988 through Nature Biotechnology (formerly Biotechnology ) and in the past five years through the additional involvement of Nature Medicine . Other Nature research journals also regularly contribute expertise to the meeting, depending on the symposium's theme; for 2011, Nature Genetics and Nature Cell Biology have participated in developing the program. 这个研讨会的一大看点是预测诺贝尔奖水平相当可以。一般得本次研讨会奖的主儿，将来很可能得诺奖。 链接： 研讨会
