    [Abstract](1292) [HTML](0) [PDF 146.63 K](2355)
    Abstract:
    The hydrological models used in Land-surface models are briefly introduced. The physical processes of land-surface hydrological processes and the developing status of land-surface hydrological model studies in China and abroad are briefly summarized. Land-surface hydrological models which are coupled with climate models are reviewed. The weakness and possible solutions in land-surface hydrological process modeling and coupling process studies are pointed out. The developing directions of land-surface hydrological processes are discussed. It is pointed out that more attention should be paid to both infiltration excess, saturation excess and snow models, and the large-scale land surface hydrological model should be developed based on tradition hydrological models.

    2005, 33(2):120-123.
    [Abstract](1363) [HTML](0) [PDF 136.78 K](1863)
    Abstract:
    By means of the fuzzy grading method, the ensemble area rainfall forecast and the three prediction models used in the area rainfall prediction over the Three Gorges Reservoir Valley (analogy forecast, MM5 model and T213) are assessed comprehensively. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the analogy forecast method is about the same as those of MM5 model and T213 rainfall prediction, and the prediction accuracy in winter is better than in summer for all the three prediction models. In practice, the dynamically weighted coefficient method is adopted in the integration of the three prediction models, to make full play of their advantages. The integrated forecast performed better than the three methods. It is proved that the fuzzy assessment method of drainage area rainfall can be used in quantitative rainfall forecast assessment because it can reflect objectively the difference between predicted and actual rainfall.

    2005, 33(2):124-127.
    [Abstract](1469) [HTML](0) [PDF 97.19 K](1893)
    Abstract:
    A comparison was made between the two 30-year climatic averages of meteorological elements from 1971 to 2000 and 1961 to 1990 from 39 meteorological stations used in Shaanxi climate prediction. The results show that the climate in the 1990s is drier and wormer than that in the 1960s in most areas, and some elements are especially obvious. Compared it with the 1961-1990 average, the 1971-2000 annual mean temperature and the days of sunny day increase, while the annual mean precipitation and the rainy days, overcast days, etc, decrease. The annual sunshine duration and the days of strong wind, sandstorm, and thunderstorm, etc, also decrease. For various long-range data series, the difference between the two averages is most obvious for the latest several (five to six) 30-year averages during the period from the 1920s to the 1990s. The difference of the two averages has certain impacts on the operation of climatic analysis and climatic prediction.

    2005, 33(2):128-132.
    [Abstract](1356) [HTML](0) [PDF 594.23 K](1739)
    Abstract:
    By using the global temperature, height, and wind data of 40 years from 1960 to 2000, the anomalous features of global circulation in spring in cold/warm years in Northeast China were analyzed. It is concluded: in cold spring years, radial circulation prevailed in the troposphere; the Mongolia high and the Aleutian low strengthened at the lower-level, and cold air systems were more active; above the mid-level, there was a blocking high or warm ridge in the high-latitude region. The variation of the East-Asia Trough Index has a close relation with spring temperature. The variation of vertical temperature distribution extended up to the tropopause in cold/warm years. In cold spring year over Northeast China, north winds prevailed and the westerly was relatively strong; a negative temperature anomaly center extended from surface to tropopause, while a positive zonal wind area lay across Northeast China. In warm spring year, vice versa.

    [Abstract](1558) [HTML](0) [PDF 184.12 K](1936)
    Abstract:
    The main hail-fallout zones and their annual variation in rent years in Jilin Province are different from the past. An analysis was made of the statistical characteristics of the annual distribution and variation, daily change and main routes of hails, as well as the number of hailing days, in 51 meteorological stations in Jilin Province from April to October, 1990 to 1999. Comparing the recent 14 years with the past 30 years, there is no difference in daily and annual variation, but there are differences in the number of hailing days and the main hailing routes. The analysis indicates that there are nine hail fallout zones, most of which are in the NW-SE direction, and two in the SW-NE direction cross the central part of Jilin Province.

    [Abstract](1358) [HTML](0) [PDF 754.73 K](1916)
    Abstract:
    Summer precipitation data in Northeast China from 1960 to 2000 was used to study the temporal and spatial features of summer rainfall. The results show that summer rainfall in Northeast China exhibited a downward trend with variation periods of 14 years and 2 to 4 years. Two abrupt summer rainfall changes occurred in 1964 and 1988/1989. The variations of summer precipitation in Northeast China can be divided into 5 types: southwest, southeast, northeast, northwest, and central Northeast China. Difference variation tendencies were found in different areas. Rainfall significantly decreased in the southeast of Northeast China and increased in the southwest of Northeast China. Meanwhile, the precipitation over different areas exhibited different periods and different occurring time of abrupt change. There is a 16-18 year cycle period in rainfall variation in the northeast of Northeast China and a 10-14 year period over the others areas. The abrupt changes took place in the 1960's and 1980's.

    [Abstract](1611) [HTML](0) [PDF 162.26 K](1758)
    Abstract:
    The features of correlation between SST and summer precipitation in East China and its interannual/interdecadal variation were investigated by using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis SST data and precipitation data provided by the national meteorological center. The main results show that there exists obvious synchronous correlation between SST in the Nino 3 region and annual summer rainfall over East China, and the interannual correlation show apparent features of interdecadal variation. It is found by using running correlation technology that interannual correlation between SST in the Nino 3 region and summer rainfall over East China had abrupt changes, which can be described by three periods: before 1972, 1973 to 1983, and after 1984, corresponding to the precipitation pattern changes: east to west, south to north, and south to north.

    [Abstract](1460) [HTML](0) [PDF 230.81 K](1616)
    Abstract:
    Based on the monthly precipitation data of 52 observational stations in June, July and August from 1961 to 2000, the features of summer precipitation in Guizhou Province were analyzed by means of abrupt change analysis and wavelet analysis techniques. A prediction model was developed and the prediction experiment of summer precipitation in Guizhou Province was conducted with the mean generating function. The results indicate that summer precipitation in Guizhou increased obviously in recent 40 years and its inter-annual variation was remarkable with varying periods: 8-10, 4-6, 4, and 2 years. Abrupt change mainly occurred in 1971 and 1994, and precipitation began to decrease from l994. The result shows that the mean generating function has good prediction capability for short-range climate changes, especially for extreme precipitation events.

    [Abstract](1709) [HTML](0) [PDF 112.52 K](2323)
    Abstract:
    Based on the upper-level radiosonde observation data of seven stations from 1970 to 2001 in Qinghai Province, the abrupt change and abnormality analysis of 500 hPa temperature and height were analyzed by the statistical method, and the basic facts and regulations were found. The changes of height and temperature at 500 hPa, especially the effects of abnormal changes on surface air temperature and precipitation and their mutual relation, are discussed. The results show that there were abrupt changes from low (cold) to high (warm) at 500 hPa in height and temperature at most stations in the middle 1980s; since 1987, there have been an increasing trend in positive abnormality and a decreasing trend in negative abnormality for height and temperature, which were correlated with the surface air temperature change.

    [Abstract](1523) [HTML](0) [PDF 146.33 K](2216)
    Abstract:
    Based on the synthetical analysis of lightning data and Doppler radar echoes from a severe storm event in Henan Province on 19 June 2003, relationship is found between lightning frequency and radar echo intensity. In the different phases of the radar echo variation, lightning location is sometimes consistent with the position of strong radar echo, and at some other times away from the position of strong radar echo; sometimes even no lightning occurs. Through analyzing velocity echo data, it can be seen that under the adverse lower-level wind field, precipitation radar echoes dissipated gradually while moving toward the station, and at the same time the lightning frequency decreased gradually.

    [Abstract](1632) [HTML](0) [PDF 112.49 K](2015)
    Abstract:
    The features of spatial-temporal distribution of air pollutants in the urban area of Hohhot were analyzed using the monitoring data of pollutant density such as TSP, SO 2 and NOx in the urban area from 1990 to 2002 to study the relationship between pollutant density and meteorological conditions. Results show that the dominant pollutant in Hohhot is smoke; pollution is more serious in spring and winter than in summer and fall, similarly more serious in the heating period than in the non-heating period. The air pollution in the central Hohhot is most serious. The amount of pollutant emission and the atmosphere stability state are major factors that influence air pollutants in the urban area. The weather change is the dominant factor of the urban air pollution density change. The local circulation is also a key factor influencing pollutant distribution. Therefore, the variations in exhaust gas in different seasons along with weather conditions constitute the basis of Hohhot air pollution prediction.

    2005, 33(2):189-192.
    [Abstract](1590) [HTML](0) [PDF 124.81 K](2061)
    Abstract:
    Based on the data of precipitation in spring from 1995 to 2001 in Henan, a new method was developed combining numerical prediction and statistical analysis techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of precipitation enhancement by airplane seeding. The basic idea is that the numerical forecasts for historical raining processes were formulated and a series of precipitation forecasts were obtained in terms of the MM5 V3 numerical model in the same evaluation area, which was partitioned based on the climatic rainfall characteristics. The statistical equations between precipitation forecasts for non-seeding precipitation processes and observed precipitation were established. The rainfall of the seeded precipitation processes was predicted with the above model and compared with the observation. The effectiveness of precipitation enhancement was finally gained. The results show that the average effectiveness of precipitation enhancement in spring from 1995 to 2001 is 16.7% in the northern Henan and 19.3% in the eastern Henan, respectively.
