    2011, 39(1):1-8.
    [Abstract](2034) [HTML](0) [PDF 5.75 M](1684)
    Abstract:
    The environmental radius into the Fujita formula by consideration of environmental pressure is introduced and applied in improving typhoon 9711 forecasting. The results show that: (1) the improved Fujita formula can basically solve the problem that the computed peripheral pressure and pressure gradient are too small, and also gives a reasonable distribution of pressure and pressure gradient force within the typhoon areas; (2) the improved Fujita equation, due to the impact of the environmental radius, makes the computed wind inner deflection angle smaller and wind speed greater, and in particular, changes the internal structure of the typhoon; (3) in either the wind direction or wind speed, in the range of a certain distance from the center of the typhoon, the friction force has a very small effect, but beyond this distance, both wind inner deflection angle and wind speed have a sharp increase with the gradient of friction coefficient; and at the same distance with the same friction coefficient, the improved Fujita formula gives smaller wind inner deflection angle and greater wind speed; (4) by considering the environmental influence (i.e., the introduction of a bounded environment radius parameter), the calculated typhoon periphery pressure and pressure gradient are greater, the wind inner deflection angle smaller, and the wind speed greater. When the environment radius tends to be infinite, the improved status of Fujita formula tends to be unimproved.

    Abstract:
    In order to study the predictability of ENSO and its spatial and temporal changes, the mutual information and Cao methods, which can ascertain the parameters in the phasespace reconstruction, are used to analyze the time series of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA). The results of the mutual information method show that the calculated delay time of the longer time series is more confident with the theoretical value. The results of the Cao method reveal that the randomicity of the SSTA series is stronger than that of the sea clutters and the certainty of the SSTA series in the eastern equatorial Pacific is stronger than that in the western Pacific.

    2011, 39(1):13-18.
    [Abstract](1552) [HTML](0) [PDF 4.89 M](1492)
    Abstract:
    Based on the heavy rain data from 9 stations along the coastal areas of the southern Fujian from 1961 to 2007, the characteristics of heavy rainfall are analyzed, and the 24hour Probably Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is calculated for the area by using the probability method and the hydrometeorological method. Results show: (1) In the coastal area of the southern Fujian, heavy rains mostly happen in spring and summer, and there were two dominating types: frontal rainstorm and typhoon rainstorm; even though in a homogenous region, the intensity and areas of heavy rains are random. (2) The calculated PMP with PearsonⅢ distribution is not reasonable unless the extraordinary heavy rains and their frequency are considered and calculated. In addition, the randomicity of rainstorms must be taken into account in order to insure the correctness of calculated results.(3)The chosen heavy rain model belongs to highefficiency precipitation, so PMP was calculated with the vapor magnification method. The calculated results, compared with the results of the probability method, are reasonable.

    [Abstract](1643) [HTML](0) [PDF 7.14 M](1479)
    Abstract:
    Based on the typhoon data and NCEP/DOE AMIPII reanalysis data from 1979 to 2005, a study is performed of the behaviors of tropical cyclones generated in the monsoon trough (MTTC) in the South China Sea (SCS) and western North Pacific (WNP) as well as the effects of the monsoon trough intensity on MTTC. Analysis suggests: (1) The total number of tropical cyclones (TCs) is 672 over the SouthChina Sea and the western North Pacific during May to October from 1979 to 2005, of which MTTC is 491, making up 73.1% of the total and 79.2% of the onland typhoons. The grasp of the regularity of MTTCs activities means the grasp of the principal regularity of the western North Pacific TCs, which are TCs mainly affecting China. (2) During this period, the annual occurrence frequency variation of MTTCs experienced three stages: normal (1979 to 1987), more MTTCs (1988 to 1994), and fewer MTTCs (1995 to 2005); there was periodic variation in MTTC with quasifouryear and quasitwoyear periods, with 1994 being the turning point. (3) In the years of anomalous MTTCs, there was great difference in onset/ending dates and generation positions. In the years of fewer/more MTTCs, in comparison with the mean condition, MTCCs started later (earlier) and continued to be in inactive (active) phase from May to October with a smaller (larger) generation area. (4) The monsoon trough intensity and position affect greatly the generation position and annual number of MTTCs.

    2011, 39(1):27-32.
    [Abstract](1523) [HTML](0) [PDF 4.57 M](1704)
    Abstract:
    On the basis of the daily precipitation data of 34 stations in Chongqing from 1961 to 2008, the methods of principal component analysis and rotated principal component analysis are used to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of midsummer droughts in Chongqing. The main results show that the midsummer droughts occur frequently in the central and western parts of Chongqing. The first loading vector field of midsummer droughts in Chongqing indicates that the midsummer drought variation has a good consistency. The midsummer drought abnormal region can be divided into four subregions: the western, northeastern, southeastern and middle regions. The midsummer droughts over the western region were the strongest in the 1960s and 1970s. The midsummer droughts over the northeastern region were the strongest in the 1990s. The midsummer droughts over the central region were the strongest in the 1970s. The variation tendency of midsummer droughts over the southeastern region was not obvious.

    [Abstract](1962) [HTML](0) [PDF 6.04 M](1642)
    Abstract:
    Remote sensing has become an important means for monitoring urban heat environment. It is still difficult to quantitatively analyze the spatiotemporal change of the urban heat environment only by ground surface temperature or brightness temperature presently. Based on the examination of remote sensing images, three heat environment monitoring indexes are put forward: urban heat island intensity, heat field intensity index, and urban heat proportion index. The MODIS surface temperature products and FY3A/MERSI of two years are used for monitoring and analyzing the Beijing area heat environment. The results show that the three indexes can monitor the intensity and variation of the Beijing heat island effect, and have significance in urban heat island monitoring.

    2011, 39(1):102-105.
    [Abstract](1973) [HTML](0) [PDF 3.17 M](1571)
    Abstract:
    A quantitative assessment is made of the economic loss of main crops, including rice, wheat, rape and tea, resulted from the spring lowtemperature and continuousrain disasters in Xinyang, Henan Province, according to the standard definition of the spring lowtemperature and continuousrain disaster, by means of the related meteorological data from 1971 to 2007. The spring lowtemperature and continuousrain disasters are divided into three levels, based on the durations and harmfulness of disaster inducing factors, such as low temperature in March, “low temperature+continuous rain+low temperaturecontinuousrain” in April, and continuousrain in May. The expected crop yields and the disaster loss rates are calculated with the separation method based on Lagrange interpolation theory. The results show that the spring lowtemperature and continuousrain disasters have different impacts during the different periods in spring on rice, wheat, rape, and tea, most harmful in April and May. It is of great significance to carry out the damage assessment of spring lowtemperature and continuousrain disasters for the disaster prevention/mitigation and decisionmaking of governments at all levels.

    [Abstract](1469) [HTML](0) [PDF 3.08 M](1411)
    Abstract:
    To study the impact of meteorological moisture parameters on sugarcane stem elongation, the sugarcane data and the corresponding meteorological moisture parameter data from the agrometeorological experiment station of Liuzhou from 2003 to 2007 are used to conduct statistical regression analyses by SPSS. The results show that the 10day sugarcane elongation has significant positive correlation with 10day water income amount, as well as 10day precipitation, water surplus and deficit, and evapotranspiration from 2003 to 2007; the results of the 5year data analysis show the same relation. The water income amount in the current 10day period has closer relation with the sugarcane elongation than that in the previous 10day period, and i. e., that in the first previous 10day period has closer relation with the sugarcane elongation than that in the second previous 10day period, and so on. It is concluded that water income amount is the key climatic factor for sugarcane elongation, and water income amount has an lagging and accumulative impact on sugarcane elongation.

    2011, 39(1):114-117.
    [Abstract](1424) [HTML](0) [PDF 2.85 M](1323)
    Abstract:
    Based on the phonological phase data of Indian cuckoo and meteorological data from 1983 to 2008 in Heze, the responses of the phonological phases of Indian cuckoos to climate changes are analyzed. The results show that the relationship between first warble dates and mean temperature from January to May was negative, and that of last warble dates with mean temperature from June to July was positive; the number of days from first to last warble and mean temperature were positively and significantly correlated. With increasing temperature, the first warble dates advanced by 3 days per 10 years, and the last warble dates delayed by 6 days per 10 years. The more sunshine days in early spring were beneficial to the advancement of the first warble dates, and the more sunshine days in autumn were beneficial to the delay of the last warble dates. The larger precipitation in spring and winter corresponded to the less number of days between first and last warbles.
