    Abstract:
    Using Wuhan twice daily radiosounding data from June to July in 2004, the preci -pitable water, specific humidity and relative humidity are calculated. By contras ting and analyzing the characteristics of the vertical distribution and the dail y variation of those vapor parameters, the evolution characteristics of the vapo r over Wuhan in Meiyu period in 2004 and its relationship with heavy rainfall ar e discussed. The result shows that the vapor content in the air over Wuhan decreases with the height and 90 percent of vapor concentrates below 700hPa.The vapor content in July is more than that in June. The specific humidity increase in the whole layer or in the middleand upperlevel can lead to the evident in crease of the whole layer relative humidity over Wuhan, and the increasing degree inc reases with the height. In the course of analyzing and forecasting heavy rain, i t is better to analyze the vapor evolution in the middleand upperlevel than that in the lowlevel. They are all very meaningful indicators for heavy rain f orecast to analyze the total layer vapor evolution combining the total layer mea n relative humidity with precipitable water, and to analyze the middle and upp er level vapor evolution combining average specific humi-dity with relative hu midity of the middle and upper level.

    2007, 33(2):10-14. DOI: 10.7519/j.issn.1000-0526.2007.02.002
    [Abstract](623) [HTML](622) [PDF 1.06 M](2436)
    Abstract:
    Smallscale characteristics of a low level horizontal wind shear process occurring in Qingdao Airport on 20 March 2002 are studied . The results show that the smallscale adjustment process between wind field a nd pressure field is produced by the strong wind shear. The largescale backgro und synoptic process is also investigated and it is found that a fastmoving cold front causes the strong low level wind shear process over the Qingdao Airport. Exploring the inducement of strong wind shear and making prediction of wind shear are very important for flight staff and aviation controller.

    2007, 33(2):15-21. DOI: 10.7519/j.issn.1000-0526.2007.02.003
    [Abstract](670) [HTML](256) [PDF 587.73 K](2042)
    Abstract:
    In order to profoundly understand abilities of two classifiers—step wise cluster and fuzzy cluster in the cloud classification techniques, both EOS/ MODIS and GMS5 data set are used, spectral or textural features are drawn from samples randomly to identify various cloud/surface. The results show that the st epwise cluster gives higher accuracies than fuzzy classifier on the whole. With rega rds to discriminating diverse cloud/surfaces, fuzzy cluster demonstrates its hig her accuracies than stepwise cluster on the classes having similar characteristi cs such as stratus, cumulostratus and cumulus; while stepwise cluster has better capabilities of distinguishing cumulonimbus and surfaces. As far as misclassifi cation of cloud/surfaces, fuzzy cluster tends to show lower accuracies in more m isclassified classes.
    4  Causation Analysis of Mesoscale Heavy Rain Triggered by Typhoo n“Longwang”
    Lin Yi Liu Ming Liu Aiming Huang Meijin
    2007, 33(2):22-28. DOI: 10.7519/j.issn.1000-0526.2007.02.004
    [Abstract](1145) [HTML](1119) [PDF 12.43 M](2426)
    Abstract:
    Typhoon“Longwang”, which landed on Fujian Province on October 2, 200 5, caused a severe heavy rain over Fuzhou. Based on satellite pictures and Dopp ler Radar data, diagnostic analysis is conducted. The result indicates that the southwest flow in the southeastern part of typhoon is forced to split into two b ranches by the impact of Taiwan's landform after it entered into Taiwan Strait. The two branches of air flow join together again over Fuzhou. Evidences suggest that the developing mesoscale vortex triggered by favorable surrounding conditio ns is the main reason producing this heavy rainfall. In addition, asymmetry sadd lebacked structure of θe vertical profile, the upper negative and lower positive moist potential vorticity, as well as the highlevel divergence and lowlev el convergence provide dynamical and thermodynamical conditions for occurrence and development of this heavy rain.

    Li Wei Zhai Panmao
    2007, 33(2):29-33. DOI: 10.7519/j.issn.1000-0526.2007.02.005
    [Abstract](754) [HTML](208) [PDF 1.20 M](1922)
    Abstract:
    Firstly, characteristics in the evolvement of SST in offshore of South America since 1950 were studied. It was found that the trends of annual undulati on amplitude of monthly mean SST in Nino 1+2 kept increasing since 1999, which c aused seasonal drops of SST in northeastern tropical East Pacific. The minimums of monthly mean SST obviously being lower than normal in autumn are the major ca use, and such a situation kept for so long time that it does not come forth befo re year 1950s. Further study reveals that seasonal drops of SST in offshore of S o uth America in autumn weakened the possibility of ENSO warm event, and made the 2002/2003 El Nino be an ENSO event which got through the longest time to transfo rm from La Nina episode into El Nino episode since the 1950s.

    [Abstract](850) [HTML](218) [PDF 467.49 K](2255)
    Abstract:
    The Intensified Automatic surface Weather observation System (IAWS) is becoming accomplished with the enhancement of the observation system in China. Local IAW S network has been set up in many areas and much attention has been paid to the application of IAWS data. Because of the special characteristic of IAWS, the appl ication is postponed by the problem of data quality in some degree. In order to facilitate the study on IAWS data Quality Assurance(QA) procedures in our countr y, three aspects are analyzed in this paper. First, the speciality of IAWS is analyzed by comparing the characteristics of IAWS data and Conventional Manu al surface eather observation System (CMWS) data.Second,the experiences of building up the IAWS QA procedure in other countries are introduced as reference. At las t, the differences are analyzed between the IAWS QA and CMWS QA, and the key as pects and problems are pointed out to be notified during the setup of IAWS QA. R esults show that the IAWS QA is different from CMWS QA in some aspects. More att ention should be paid in management of IAWS operation, the automatic quality co ntrol at station level, as well as manual quality control and quality monitoring .

    [Abstract](1200) [HTML](712) [PDF 1.90 M](2562)
    Abstract:
    It is crucial to well forecast severe convective weather like hail and provide better service during summer in Beijing. Synoptic dynamics and mesoscal e characteristics of two severe hailstorms are analyzed by using conventional ob servation and the data from automatic weather stations, Doppler radar and wind p rofiler, etc. Comparisons show that they differ greatly from each other on the c irculation pattern, local weather condition and mesoscale system. The coupled up per and lower jet flows, energy condition and the vertical wind shear, conduced more to the occurrence of the May31 hail event. It was under the direct influe nce of supercell structure. In contrast, the June7 hail event developed from a t ypical squallline. Evolvement of the two hailstorms and areas of hail fall hav e good relations with their mesoscale systems. For the May31 hail , the influen cing system is on mesoγscale, while it is on mesoβscale for the June7 hail on. Warning and forecasting of the former hail event is relatively more difficu lt. To well monitor and nowcast these sudden events, full use of the high spatia l and time resolution detection data is needed in future.

    2007, 33(2):57-61. DOI: 10.7519/j.issn.1000-0526.2007.02.009
    [Abstract](1173) [HTML](170) [PDF 4.70 M](2369)
    Abstract:
    By using the data of CWave Band Doppler weather radar and the precip itation data from AWS in Taiyuan, a regional snowstorm event occurring in Shanxi on April 11, 2006 was analyzed. The average divergence and vertical velocity of the vertical height layers were calculated quantitatively with the improved tec hnology of EVAD. Their changes in time and space and the corresponding relations hip with this snowstorm were further investigated. The results indicate that the strong updraft always keeping less than 2.5km is the basic dynamical mai n taining mechanism of heavy snowstorms; if anabatic movement appears in whole lower layer and the h eight ofthe strong updraft center is lower and lower along with time accompany ing with strong downdraft in middlehigh layers, then heavy snowstorm will appe ar in 2 hours later there. The intensity of snow is closely related to the divergence and convergence in each height layer within the radar's coverage, and the intensific ation or decrease of the divergence and convergence appears ahead of that of the snow intensity. These results provide some theoretic basis for forecasting the occurrence and disappearance of snowfall and the development of snow intensity.

    [Abstract](703) [HTML](269) [PDF 1.41 M](2226)
    Abstract:
    The climate change and its impacts on water resources in recent 43 years (1961-2 003) in the Lanjiang River Basin are studied by analyzing the temperature, preci pita tion and runoff with the cumulative departure method. The results show that the temperature and precipitation of the Lanjiang basin had a rising trend in the re cent 43 years. Since 1961, the temperature and precipitation have increased most in the 1990s which is contributed by rising in temperature of winter and spring and in precipitation of summer. The annual runoff of the Lanjiang River Basin keeps the same trend as the annual precipitation. Thus the climate change in the Lanjiang Riv er Basin has the impact on it's water resources. There is a difference in spatia l distribution of the water resources in the Lanjiang River Basin, and the Jinhu a City in the Lanjiang River Basin is subject to climate change which can resul t in a shortage of fresh water.

    [Abstract](722) [HTML](295) [PDF 398.95 K](1982)
    Abstract:
    Climatic ecosystem characteristics of perennial farmland lotus root, isn't fully alike with the annual pond lotus root. By 3year parallel observation s with the lotus root's growth and the farmland microclimate, the basic characte ristics are shown that the farmland lotus root requires warm and sunshine condit ions, but can't bear the low temperature with the overcast and rainy. The temper ature index of young sprout growth is expected to have the average daily air tem perature ≥13℃, the temperature of first leaf's growth period≥15℃, and the pe riod of lotus root's procreation≥18℃. Because the spring lotus root more easil y suffers from the disadvantageous weather conditions in the anaphase and the co ld air often invades in the end of spring and early summer, some techniques like temperature adjustment with water and douche are put forward for improving farmland lotus root production, better making use of the n atural resources like weather and climate, and increasing the agriculture effect and farmer's income.

    [Abstract](876) [HTML](578) [PDF 882.77 K](1934)
    Abstract:
    Based on the data of sunshine, cloud amount, haze, fog, sand dust, fro m 1954 to 2005, at Dezhou, Shandong Province, the climate tendency is calculated with the least square method. The result indicated that, the Dezhou sunshine du ration reduced by 105.0 hours per 10 years, the sunshine percentage reduced by 2 .4% per 10 years. Total cloud amount reduced by 0.03 tenth per 10 years. The san dstorm, blowing sand, and floating dust day numbers assume the obviously reduced tendency. Low cloud amount and haze, mist, foggy days appeared to have an incre ase tendency, in particular, from the late 1990s an obvious increase, correspond ing to the economical scale fast growth from the mid 1990s. It has explained tha t the sunshine decrease is mainly because the low cloud amount increases and the human activity enhances, specially, the atmospheric aerosol due to the industri al emission suddenly increases.

    Abstract:
    A serious CO toxic accident occurred in Yanbian,Jinlin Province in February 13 16, 2006.An analysis of the meteorological elements of the event is made. The re sult shows that the strong inversion occurs in the surface layer with a low heig ht of maximal inversion top,and about zerowind velocity occurs near the surfac e. Both are the main reasons to cause the event.At the same time,the temperature rises and the air pressure falls evidently. It is unusual in the last 46 years that the suitable meteorological element,but only when several meteorological el ements control the same region together,will the CO toxic accident take place.
