Spatial and temporal variation of water mass mixing characteristic in the East China Sea

On the basis of the observation data of Kuroshio since 1984 and relative historical data in the East China Sea, spatial and temporal variation of water mass mixing characteristic in the observation area is analysed. The main results are as follows.

Asymmetrical Change Characteristics of Maximum and Minimum Temperatures in Shangqiu in Recent 50 Years

[Objective] The research aimed to analyze temporal and spatial variation characteristics of temperature in Shangqiu City during 1961-2010.[Method] Based on temperature data in eight meteorological stations of Shangqiu during 1961-2010,by using trend analysis method,the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics of annual average temperature,annual average maximum and minimum temperatures,annual extreme maximum and minimum temperatures,daily range of annual average temperature in Shangqiu City were analyzed.M-K method was used to determine mutation year of temperature.[Result] The annual average temperature,annual average minimum temperature and annual extreme minimum temperature respectively rose at 0.122,0.255 and 0.488 ℃/10 a.The variation trend of annual average maximum temperature wasn’t obvious.The daily range of annual average temperature and annual extreme maximum temperature respectively declined at-0.217 and-0.292 ℃/10 a.Seen from spatial distribution,the increase amplitudes of annual average temperature,annual average minimum temperature and annual extreme minimum temperature were all large in the east and small in the west.The decrease amplitude of daily range of annual average temperature was large in the east and small in the west.The decrease amplitude of annual extreme maximum temperature was large in the west and small in the east.The annual average maximum temperature had trends of increase and decrease.The annual average temperature,annual average minimum temperature and daily range of annual average temperature all mutated in 1997.The annual average maximum temperature didn’t have obvious mutation point.The annual extreme maximum temperature mutated in 1973.The annual extreme minimum temperature respectively mutated in 1989 and 1999.[Conclusion] The research played important guidance significances in adjustment of agricultural production structure,regional climate planning,reasonably using climate resource and replying climate change in Shangqiu City.

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATIONS OF THE KINEMATIC CHARACTERISTICS IN THE PROPAGATION OF ATMOSPHERIC STATIONARY WAVES

Time-mean global general circulation data are employed to analyze the temporal and spatial variations of the meridional gradient of zonal mean potential vorticity,the critical wavenumber n_s for horizontal wave- propagation,and the critical wavenumber K_c for vertical wave-propagation.Thereby the kinematic charac- teristics in the propagation of atmospheric stationary waves and their annual variations are studied.Results show that in the troposphere n_s and K_c usually decrease with the increase of either latitude or altitude. Synoptic and near-resonant Rossby waves could be trapped during their upward and meridional propagations. These characteristics possess prominent annual variations,especially in the Northern Hemisphere.It is found that the spatial and temporal variations of these kinematic characteristics are in good agreement with those of the atmospheric wave patterns.

Temporal and Spatial Characteristics and Optimization of the Intensive Use of Cultivated Land in Maoming City

Improving the level of intensive cultivated land use is an important measure to ensure food security and promote the sustainable development of the regional society and economy.Based on data from the statistical yearbook of Maoming City and its counties and districts from 2005 to 2018 and the land use change database of Maoming City for 2018,this study constructed an evaluation index system for four aspects:cultivated land use intensity,cultivated land use degree,cultivated land output benefit and cultivated land sustainable use status.The level of intensive use of cultivated land in Maoming City from 2004 to 2017 was evaluated by AHP,the range method and the comprehensive evaluation model,and its temporal and spatial characteristics were evaluated.The results revealed three major points.(1)The intensive use of cultivated land in Maoming City in the past 14 years was good,and its level showed an overall upward trend,with the intensive use degree of cultivated land rising from 0.4045 in 2004 to 1.3148 in 2017.(2)The levels of intensive use of cultivated land in each county and district of Maoming City were generally on the rise,with no significant differences between them.However,according to the regional distribution,the intensive use level of cultivated land was highest in Maonan District,while it was relatively low in Dianbai County.The largest increase in the level of cultivated land intensive use was in Gaozhou,and the smallest was in Dianbai County.(3)According to the existing problems of cultivated land utilization in Maoming City,combined with the current international and domestic measures to effectively improve the level of intensive use of cultivated land,four suggestions are put forward:to improve the efficiency of cultivated land utilization and effectively protect basic farmland;to improve the overall urban planning and rationally adjust the layout of construction land;to raise farmers’awareness of the intensive use of cultivated land;and to increase agricultural investment and improve agricultural infrastructure.
