The front, which exists from late October through early March, consists of western and eastern wings extending roughly along the northeast-southwest isobaths with a southeastward middle segment across the 20--50 m isobaths. There are north and south inflexions connecting the middle segment with the western and eastern wings, respectively. The middle segment gradually moves southwestward from November through February with its length increasing from 62 km to 107 km and the southern inflexion moving from 36.2°N to 35.3°N. A cold tongue is found to coexist with the N-shape front, and is carried by the coastal jet penetrating southward from the tip of the Shandong Peninsula into the western South YS as revealed by a numerical simulation. After departing from the coast, the jet flows as an anti-cyclonic recirculation below 10 m depth, trapping warmer water originally carried by the compensating Yellow Sea Warm Current （YSWC）. A northwestward fowing branch of the YSWC is also found on the lowest level south of the front. The N-shape front initially forms between the cold tongue and warm water involved in the subsurface anti-cyclonical recirculation and extends upwards to the surface through vertical advection and mixing. Correlation analyses reveal that northerly and easterly winds tend to be favorable to the formation and extension of the N-shape front probably through strengthening of the coastal jet and shifting the YSWC pathway eastward, respectively.展开更多

The whole experiment is a 111-year （1900--2010） continuous run at 50 km horizontal resolution. Comparisons of climatic means and seasonal cycles among observations, 20CR-v2, and WRF results during the last 30 years （1981-2010） in China are presented, with a focus on sur- face air temperature and precipitation in both summer and winter. The WRF results reproduce the main features of surface air temperature in the two seasons in China, and outperform 20CR-v2 in regional details due to topog- raphic forcing. Summer surface air temperature biases are reduced by as much as 1℃-2℃. For precipitation, the simulation results reproduce the decreasing pattern from Southeast to Northwest China in winter. For summer rainfall, the WRF simulation results reproduce the correct magnitude and position of heavy rainfall around the southeastern coastal area, and are better than 20CR-v2. One of the significant improvements is that an unrealistic center of summer precipitation in Southeast China present in 20CR-v2 is eliminated. However, the simulated results underestimate winter surface air temperature in northern China and winter rainfall in some regions in southeastern China. The mean seasonal cycles of surface air tempera- ture and precipitation are captured well over most of sub-regions by the WRF model.展开更多

[Method] Characters of temperature variation in solar greenhouse and minimal temperature forecast models in winter were analyzed based on meteorological data inside and outside of solar greenhouse in winter during 2008-2011, as per correlation and stepwise regression method. [Result] Temperature was of significant changes in solar greenhouse in sunny and cloudy days and the change was higher in sunny days. In overcast days, temperature in solar greenhouse was lower and plants were affected seriously. In addition, the minimal temperature was of good correlation with outside temperature and humidity, temperature and soil temperature in greenhouse. [Conclusion] The minimal temperature forecast model of solar greenhouse is established and the average absolute error of the forecasted minimums in different types of weather was less than 1 ℃ and the average relative error was lower than 10%.展开更多
