雨季
雨季,指在降水量有显著季节差异的地区,年降水量主要发生的月份,通常持续一个或多个月[1] 。拥有雨季的地区分布在热带和亚热带[2]。
根据柯本气候分类法,对于热带气候,雨季定义为平均降水量60毫米以上的月份[3]。不同的气候类型,雨季也不尽相同。以北半球为例:东亚季风区的雨季主要为夏季;南亚季风区的雨季大约在6月~11月;热带莽原气候的雨季为夏季;地中海型气候的雨季为冬季。拥有旱季和雨季也是季风雨林的特色,热带雨林的降雨量则是在全年平均分布[4]。一些有显著雨季的地区,当热带辐合带或季风槽移动到较高纬度时,雨季的降雨会中断[5]。
若雨季在夏季发生,降水主要在下午和傍晚。雨季时,空气污染改善,淡水水质提高,植被大幅度增长。但同时也会使土壤养分减少,侵蚀增加。特别在热带地区,夏季的雨季会使疟疾发病率增加[6] 。一些动物在雨季会有适应和生存策略。 另外,前一个旱季也通常导致雨季的粮食短缺,因为作物尚未成熟。
受影响的地区
编辑撒哈拉以南非洲的热带莽原气候区,包括加纳、布基纳法索[7][8] 、南苏丹[9]、厄立特里亚[10]、埃塞俄比亚[11]和博茨瓦纳都有一个明显的雨季[12] 。佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州南部的热带莽原气候区也有一个雨季[13]。季风气候区包括印度次大陆、东南亚(包括印度尼西亚和菲律宾)[14]、澳大利亚北部[15]、波利尼西亚[16]、中美洲[17]、墨西哥西部和南部[18]、美国西南部的沙漠[19]、圭亚那南部[20]和巴西东北部[21]等等。
圭亚那北部有两个雨季:一个在早春,另一个在初冬[20]。 在西非,南部有两个雨季,但北部只有一个[22]。 在地中海气候区,包括美国西海岸,意大利、希腊的地中海海岸线[23]和土耳其的雨季都是在冬季[24]。同样,以色列内盖夫沙漠的雨季是从十月延续至五月[25] 。 在地中海气候区和季风气候区之间的边界,索诺兰沙漠共同拥有这两个气候类型的两个雨季[26]。
