The results show that daily variation of temperature was abnormal in some regions of Guanzhong Plain on December 4, 2012, and medium fog and haze inhibited the increase of air temperature in the urban area of Xi'an in the morning of December 4, so that air temperature went up slowly during the day of December 4. The sinking of the northwest cold air before arriving Guanzhong Plain as well as atmospheric com- pression warming effect caused by Qinling terrain blocking were the main reasons for the abnormal increase of temperature in some areas of Guanzhong Plain. Compared with surrounding districts and counties, urban heat island effect was more obvious in the urban area of Xi'an.展开更多

The distribution depth of the red argil- lans, the weathered and leached loess layer, Fe2O3, CaCO3 and Sr content under the S5 all indicate that the precipitation in Guanzhong Plain was over 900 mm at that time. The distribution depth of gravity water zone reached 4.2 m at least, and the soil moisture content was generally more than 20% within the range of 4.2 m. At that time there was sufficient soil moisture and no dried earth layer developed in Guanzhong Plain, suitable for the forest to develop. When this soil developed, the mean annual pre- cipitation was more than the annual soil moisture evaporation. The value of soil moisture balance was positive and the atmospheric precipitation could supply the underground water normally. Soil water was weak acidic in the middle and late stages when S5 developed in Guanzhong Plain. It was a kind of subtropical climate and even more humid and warmer than the northern edge of the subtropical climate zone in Guanzhong Plain when the S5 developed. At that time the subtropical climate was prevailing over the northern side and southern side of Qingling Mountains, showing the Mountains no longer to be the boundary between the subtropical zone and the temperate zone in China. The summer monsoon acted intensely and could go over Qingling Mountains frequently bring abundant precipitation.展开更多
