Abstract:In order to obtain the eigenvalues of rain particles. In this paper, the threshold processing method is adopted to segment raindrops and the background image. The complex raindrop figure is converted to a binary image of the real boundary. The raindrops centroid is marked by using the mean algorithm, and the raindrop shape model is established by using the long axis information of raindrops. Combined with the global thresholds of Otsu and the local threshold method, a method for detecting the characteristic values of raindrops by Ostu is proposed. Through the experiment, it is shown that the method can effectively extract the characteristic values of raindrops from the image data. The number of particles and the shape of raindrops are indispensable parameters to measure the intensity of rainfall.

Abstract:Strong convection mechanisms of the Pearl River Delta vary in different weather conditions, and there are some differences in strong convection indexes accordingly. This paper divides the strong convection triggering mechanisms of weather patterns into four sorts: cold air influence, southwest warm moisture flow, impact on the edge of the subtropical anticyclone, and typhoon influence. Outputs of the mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) model of the Guangzhou Institute of Tropic and Marine Meteorology of CMA were used to calculate the thunderstorm environment characteristics, such as water vapor, unstable energy, and dynamic conditions one hour before strong convection, which were selected to verify the convective index thresholds for Pearl River Delta under different synoptic patterns and to establish the corresponding potential forecast system. Through the verification of a typical thunderstorm process and a shorttime strong rainfall case, it is proved that the strong convection potential forecast products provided by the system can indicate the occurrence time and position of strong convection and convective type, which provides a reference for forecasters.

Abstract:Based on the daily temperature data from 1961 to 2005 of Three Gorges Reservoir, the capability of the RegCM4 driven by the BCC_CSM11 and CCLM driven by the MPIESMLR to simulate the annual mean temperature and extreme high temperature is examined. According to the regional climate model, in which simulations are closer to observations, projected are the temperature changes in Three Gorges Reservoir from 2016 to 2035 under the RCP45 scenario. The results show that the temporal and spatial changes of simulated annual mean temperature, high temperature days, and high temperature intensity are broadly comparable with the observations. But both RegCM4 and CCLM underestimate the annual mean temperature, high temperature days, and high temperature intensity in the northeast part of the Three Gorges Reservoir region. Meanwhile, RegCM4 and CCLM can simulate the annual variations of mean temperature and high temperature days quite well, except for high temperature intensity. On the whole, the temperature simulated by CCLM is better than that by RegCM4 The annual mean temperature and high temperature days over the whole basin will increase 06 ℃ and 5 days in 2016-2035 under the RCP45 scenario, respectively, relative to the observations of 1986-2005 The variation of high temperature intensity is not obvious.

Abstract:The characteristics of clearsky precipitation echoes are analyzed by using Doppler radar data from May to September, 2008 to 2013 to study the application potential of clearsky echoes to the warning of stratiform precipitation. The results show that the days with clearsky echoes account for about 87% from May to September in Linyi, with more than 90% of cases within the range of 100 km from the radar station. The reflectivity factors are mostly among 10 to 25 dBz and there is obvious diurnal variation. Clear sky echo velocity products can effectively reflect the wind of lowerlayers before stratiform precipitation and lower turbulence dissipation rate in a certain extent, and can also have indication of the precipitation process. These results are meaningful to reduce the missing alarm rates and earlier warning of convective weather.

Abstract:The identification and tracking of convective clouds and the 3hours rainfall forecasting are discussed by using the multithreshold, area overlapping, and statistical method, based on various weather data, including the data from FY meteorological satellite, weather radar and automatic meteorological stations. On the basis of this analysis, we established the operational software system of monitoring and forecasting convective clouds based on satellite data. In order to test the reliability of the software system, we choose 4 typical convective weather processes for trial operation. The results show that the software system can track the occurring and development of convective clouds accurately, and the precipitation regions of convective clouds were consistent with the ground precipitation observation. The forecasting index of maximum precipitation for convective clouds performed well with an accuracy of 61 %, a vacancy rate of 33 %, and a miss rate of 6%, which indicates that the findings can be used for monitoring and forecasting convective clouds in Fujian Province.

Abstract:The relationship between autumn rainfall in West China and autumn Eurasian teleconnection pattern (EUa) is examined by using the EOF, correlation and composite analysis and so on. The results show that significant negative correlation is found between autumn rainfall in West China and autumn EUa index, both with the phasic and jumping characteristics. The correlation coefficient of both oscillated significantly before 1986, and the significantly related areas mainly concentrated in the southwest Sichuan basin and Guizhou. The correlation coefficient increased significantly after 1986; the significantly related regions moved northward; the obviously correlated areas mainly concentrated in the northeastern Sichuan basin, Chongqing, and southern Shanxi. In the positive anomaly phase of EUa, the insufficient water vapor supply gave rise to the recession of the rainfall. In the negative anomaly phase of EUa, the rainfall amount of the eastern part of the autumn rainfall area increased, while the western shows the opposite reaction.

Abstract:There was occurred a strong wind process from 31 December 2014 to 1 January 2015 over the Bohai Sea, which has the characteristics of strong burst, long duration, strong winds with three wave peak of wind Speed. The reanalysis data of NCEP/NCAR are used in the diagnosis and analysis of the offshore wind induced by strong cold air. The analysis shows that when the cold air affected the Bohai Sea, the warm and cold air contrast enlarged the lowlevel front zone, and wind force increased obviously. Three fluctuations of the Bohai Sea wind correspond to the low layer cold advection strengthening, and temperature advection and vertical structural variation indicate that above the deep cold advection from top to bottom formed a retroverted cold advection transport channel, which transmitted the cold air to the lower levels for three times, corresponding to the three peaks of wind fluctuation. The highlevel downward momentum transformation played an important role in the rapid growth and maintenance of the strong winds. The three wind speed fluctuations over the Bohai Sea are related to the highlevel downward momentum transformation and the higher the radial degree of the air flows, the stronger the momentum transformation at the upper levels, the greater the wind speeds on the ground were.

Abstract:The features and formation causes of a shortterm heavy rainstorm process is studied by the conventional observation data, automatic weather station data, GFS analysis field data with the special resolution of 05° and the temporal resolution of 6 hours, Doppler radar and FY2E satellite data in the northern part of Zhejiang Province on 24 June 2013 The results suggests that due to the influences by the southwest warm moist air flow near the edge of subtropical high and the shear line at 850 hPa, the severe convection was triggered. It has good predictability for severe convection that the 925 hPa mesoscale convergence line overlaid the vertical upward region in the middle troposphere at 700 hPa. That is to say, severe convection could happen near the mesoscale convergence line under the situation. The mesoscale convergence line, which occurred earlier than the rainfall and induced by the confluence of easterly flow and northeasterly flow, triggered the shortterm heavy rainstorm in the northern part of Zhejiang Province.

Abstract:Based on the meteorological observations from December 2010 to May 2014 of the 370 m observation tower on the Liangmaoshan Island of Ningbo and the automatic weather stations along the northern coastal Zhejiang province, an analysis is made of the wind profile characteristics in the nearsurface boundary layer in different prevailing winds and different wind forces. Results show that wind speed at the tower base was stronger than that of the next upper layer in north or south wind because of topography. The wind profiles were different under different weather patterns, which basically meets the logarithm law at layers below 320 m when wind is from south, but when the tower was affected by TCs or the winds from north, the profile could be separated into 3 layers: within the constant flux layer, the winds meets basically the logarithm law; at the next layer above, there exists usually a layer with hardly changing velocity because of TCs, and there is slight decreasing in north winds; at the upper layers, winds increase. The threelayer structure is more obviously while north winds prevailing than TCs affecting, with the maximum velocity at about 80 to 109 m and the minimum at 200 to 250 m. Within the layers with the wind profile following the logarithm law, the fitting goodness of weak wind profiles is better than that of strong winds. Investigation on the profile of AWS observations indicates a consistent performance.

Abstract:By using the high temporal resolution temperature profile data observed from multichannel microwave radiometer over the ricewheat rotation cropping field observation site at Shouxian from July 2015 through May 2016, the atmospheric boundary layer heights are calculated with the potential temperature gradient method, and the diurnal, monthly, and seasonal variation characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer heights are studied in this paper. It is found that the atmospheric boundary layer heights have a typical diurnal variation in fine weather, which is almost in the same phase of the diurnal temperature variation. During a day, the average largest height usually appears in afternoon, with the largest value in August (greater than 1520 meters) and smallest value in January (520 meters). The atmospheric boundary layer heights also show a seasonal cycle: the smallest in winter (322 meters), and the second smallest in autumn (377 meters), the second largest in spring (436 meters), and the largest in summer (499 meters). The atmospheric boundary layer height calculated from the temperature observations is 258 meters (346 meters) greater than the value from the FNL (ERAInterim) data during the daytime (i.e., 08:00-19:00 local time), while it is 144 meters (102 meters) smaller than the value from the FNL (ERAInterim data) during the nighttime (i.e., 19:00-8:00 local time).

Abstract:Selecting the 17 cities in Shandong Province as research objects, the index system is determined by three factors of affecting agricultural droughts in Shandong Province: natural environment, economic environment, and social environment. The model of agricultural drought frangibility zoning is constructed, and the judgment matrix for Shandong Province is established. Agricultural drought frangibility assessment studies in Shandong Province are conducted, and the frangibility zoning chart of agriculture drought for 17 cities/prefectures in Shandong Province. The results show that from 2000 to 2013, there were 5 nonfrangible cities, 4 slight frangible ones, 4 frangible ones, 3 seriously frangible ones, 1 extremely serious frangible one in fragile rating in Shandong Province. Overall, the spatial distribution pattern of agricultural drought frangibility in Shandong Province is roughly lower in southeast and northwest, higher in central and southwest. The frangibility zoning results reflect the regional differences of agricultural drought risk degree in Shandong Province, and the higher frangibility cities should be as the key area of agricultural drought disaster prevention.

By comparison and analysis of calculation results, it is found that the best lightning protection solution for new generation weather radar stations is the three lightning rod scheme, and the horizontal distance between the roof edge and the radome of the radar must be greater than 334 m when the three lightning rod scheme is adopted.

Abstract:In order to avoid the errors of the site observation data during the spatial interpolation and improve the accuracy of the spatialization on corn temperature suitability index, the CMA Land Data Assimilation System is used, which applies hourly temperature data. The daily temperature suitability index calculation model is set up in the space, which is based on the corn dynamic suitability calculation method of Inner Mongolia by using of GIS spatial analysis and Model Builder. The temperature suitability dynamic model requires inputting date that is used to calculate the spatial distribution of temperature indicators, such as optimum temperature, maximum temperature, and minimum temperature. Combining with the spatial distribution of the average daily temperature of CLDAS, the temperature suitability index is calculated on the space by using condition functions. Regular site suitability and model calculation results are compared from May to August 2015 as an example. The results show that the maximum absolute error is 0156, and the absolute error of about 90% results is less than 01 The maximum relative error is 369%, and the relative error of about 70% results is less than 8%. CLDAS data can reflect the influence of high temperature in May and low temperature in August, in which suitability index is 0 By using the Model Builder, the constructed calculation model of suitability index has higher practicability. Based on CLDAS temperature data, the temperature suitability index error is relatively small, and the precision of the spatialization can be used for further researches.
