    Abstract:
    In order to verify and assess GRAPES more comprehensively, this research attempts to simulate the weather processes of Tarim Basin, southern Xinjiang, China in January, April, July and October 2013 by days, and compares those with actual data from monitoring stations in order to analyze the prediction capability of GRAPES The results show that GRAPES is able to predict 2 m temperatures, wind and rainfall in desert areas, but there exist errors GRAPES can predict the daily trend of 2 m temperatures in Tarim Basin but the errors of the extremum values are obvious As for the prediction of wind field, GPAPES performs better in January, April and October when wind speed is higher, which means it basically is able to predict wind direction in desert areas However, in July, when the wind speed is low, GRAPES performs unsatisfactorily The problems in precipitation prediction mainly lie in greater false prediction rate, and inaccuracy also occurs in the prediction of precipitation centers

    Abstract:
    Relationships between Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and winter temperature in China and their characteristics are investigated by using the statistical method at the interrannual and interdecadal scalesThe correlation coefficients are calculated between the PDO index time series during the period of 1951 to 2016 and the observed surface air temperature of 160 stations throughout ChinaThe results exhibit that the relationship between PDO interannual variability and winter temperatures in China is not significant, but dramatically close relationship with China’s winter temperature interdecadal variability; in the PDO positive (negative) phase, the temperature is generally high (low). The influence mechanisms of PDO on China’s winter temperature are characterized by the following: in the PDO positive (negative) phase, the sea level pressure field in Siberian is weak (strong); the 500 hPa height field in the east Asian is weak (strong); and the 200 hPa zonal wind field in the east Asian jet stream is weak (strong), resulting in the high (low) winter temperature of China

    Abstract:
    The clear day observation data of the CFL03 wind profiler radar (WPR) collected in Urumqi are used to analyze the characteristics of the diurnal variation of the atmospheric boundary layerThe results show that the seasonal variation of the boundary layer is obviousBelow the 300-600 m height, the wind speed is weak (<3 m/s), and the nearer the surface the smaller the wind speed is While wind speed is larger, the wind direction is constant in southeast above 300 to 600 mThe wind speeds in summer and autumn are smaller than those in winter and springThe characteristics of the flow field in summer and autumn are more complex, in which the horizontal wind speed and direction are more volatile, and there is obvious wind shearThe magnitude of structural parameter of turbulence reflectivity in spring (autumn or winter) is one magnitude (three magnitudes or 1 to 3 magnitudes) less than that in summer In summer, the structural parameter of turbulence reflectivity is maximum, which is 10-16 to 10-13m-2/3Under the condition of clear sky, the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy is 10-6 to 10-2, 10-4 to 10-3 and 10-6 to 10-3m2〖DK〗·s-3, respectively, in spring, summer, and autumnThe magnitude of dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy in daytime is one magnitude more than that at nightThe diurnal variation of structural parameter of turbulence reflectivity and dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy is correlated well to wind field in clear daysThat is, the region of strong turbulence development is consistent with the larger wind velocityThe diurnal boundarylayer feature in spring and summer can be better monitored by the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy using a new product of WPR In summer, under the condition of clear sky, the height of the stable boundary layer, residual layer, convective boundary layer, mixed layer, and entrainment layer are 400 to 500, 1800, 2500, 2200 and 300 to 400 m, respectivelyThe diurnal variation of the boundary layer height is positively related to surface temperature

    Abstract:
    Based on the meteorological data of 8 times per day in 4 stations over Zhejiang (Hangzhou, Zhoushan, Quzhou and Dachen) from 2000 to 2013, an analysis is made of the atmospheric mixed layer height (MLH) and their overall regional variations by the Nozaki methodThe results show that MLH in Zhoushan is the lowest, 954 m; then that in Hangzhou, 1073 m and that in Quzhou, 1181 m. MLH in Dachen is the highest, 1631 m; the spatial distribution of MLH is low in the north, high in south, and the highest in the Dachen island in Zhejiang; and the lower the MLH, the more stable it isThe variation of seasonal and daily average of MLH is obviousThe MLH changes in Hangzhou, Zhoushan and Quzhou follow the double peaktotrough pattern, which is higher in spring (from March to April) and summer (from July to August) and lower in early summer (June), autumn, and winter (November to next February) But Dachen MLH follows the single peaktotrough pattern, which is higher in autumn and winter (December to next January), and lower in late spring and early summer (May), and higher in daytime and lower in nighttimeThe increased MLH in Hangzhou of 2002 was more closely related to stronger wind speed, less sunshine and more rainy days in January and June, less rainy days in September, more sunshine in February Wind and atmospheric stability are the main factors of influencing MLHThe atmosphere is unstable when wind speed is more than 3 m〖DK〗·s-1, which is favorable for MLH uplifting This is the reason why Dachen MLH is the highest Zhoushan MLH is lower than Quzhou MLH because of lower temperature, which is why Hangzhou MLH is higher The lower the MLH, more rainy days, greater precipitation, more fog days, and the poorer visibility there are, and vice versaThe frequencies of light fog and haze appearing during same period are the highest in Hangzhou, and there will be more moderate hazes and fogs during lower MLHThe results of study are of great significance for cognitive air quality assessment and distribution of pollutant diffusion capability in Zhejiang, and it also can provide scientific reference for the rational distribution of regional pollution sources

    Abstract:
    The spring meteorological data from 1978 to 2015 in the Dandong area are used to analyze the extent of crop damages, which are divided into three different levels, because of low temperature, overcast or rainy weather, as well as scant lightingThe Lagrange interpolation method is used to calculate the expected crop output, and the separation method is used to separate the yield loss caused by the above mentioned weather Results show: (1) The yields of rice and soybean in the Dandong region show significant staged changes(2) The effects of low temperature and rainy weather on crops are : maize>soybean>riceThe effects of low temperature and scant lighting weather on crops are different: soybean>maize>rice In addition, the influence of rainy and cold rainy weather on corn and soybean is much larger than that on rice

    Abstract:
    Based on wind, wave height, temperature and humidity data, the optimized Kmeans algorithm which combines DB criterion and the method of maximum distance is used in China’s offshore climate regionalization in winterThe optimized algorithm avoids the drawbacks of subjectivity of determining cluster number and initial cluster centers in the traditional Kmeans algorithmThe results show that three regions are obtained: Region 1 mainly includes the sea area north of 28°N and the long narrow area in the southeast coastal of China; Region 2 mainly includes the circumjacent seas of the Taiwan Island, Taiwan Strait, Bashi Channel and most of the South China Sea from the southwest to the northeast; Region 3 mainly includes the sea area in the southwest of the Taiwan Island, Beibu Gulf, coastal areas of Guangdong Province and the southeast of the South China Sea By analyzing the climate characteristics of each region and their influences on ships and people on the seas, according to the regionalization criteria, we conclude that Region 1 is basically suitable for sailing, Region 2 is not suitable, and Region 3 is suitable

    Abstract:
    Fog weather is one of the most important meteorological disasters affecting the traffic safety and management Based on the fog observation data from 68 stations in Zhejiang from 2004 to 2013, the geographic information and the historical traffic loss data, the risk regionalization of the fog disasters on highway in Zhejiang Province is conductedThe risk assessment index sets of fog disasters are established on the basis of the assessment of natural disaster risk theoryThe frequency and duration of fogs are taken as the hazard index, and the traffic accident data rate,the frequency and duration of traffic closing are taken as the vulnerability index, and the passenger and freight volume are taken as the exposure indexThe ArcGIS spatial analysis technique, weighted comprehensive evaluation, and analytic hierarchy process method are used to set up the comprehensive risk evaluation model of fog disasters According to this model, a risk zoning map is compiled The results show that the highway with high risk accounts for 1513% of the total highway length The higher risk sections are mainly located in the sections of Shenjiahu Highway arround the Nanxun and Jiangshan,Hangzhou Bay Ring from Xiaoshan to Yuecheng, the west Hangzhou Ring Highway, ChangTai Highway from Shangyu to Shengzhou, ZhuYong Highway from Zhuji to Pan’an, ShanghaiKunming Highway from Zhuji to Kecheng The research results can provide scientific references for highway management departments of disaster prevention and mitigation plans

    Abstract:
    The flankingstriking lightning protection is one of the important contents of lightning protection for highrise buildings (including super highrise building). Taking the classⅡ lightning protection building as an example, the paper analyzes the flankingstriking lightning current magnitude range and the probability distribution characteristics of highrise buildings by combining the electrogeometric model and lightning current featuresThe result shows that the higher the building, the greater the occurrence probability of flankingstriking lightning, and there is an exponential growth relationship between them; the higher the building, the bigger the flankingstriking lightning current magnitude rangeThe flankingstriking lightning protection technical problems in lightning protection project are discussed, which provides a reference for flankingstriking lightning protection for highrise buildings
