Abstract:
An analysis was made of the development trend of meteorological satellite data transmission technology. The data transmission frequency of meteorological satellite is changing from L-band only to L-band and X-band plus K-band, adopting higher frequency and CCSDS package transmission. The convolutional multilevel R-S coding technology with advanced error correcting and antijamming capabilities is adopted, changing analog data into digital data. The data transmission characteristics of polar orbiting and goestationary meteorological satellites across the world are summarized to help data-receiving stations to make preparatory for receiving the new meteorological satellite data.

Abstract:
The numerical forecast products had been applied in many stations, but the analysis and application of the rich numerical forecast products were not enough. Using the physical forecast products of T106 and the conventional meteorological data, the spring heavy rainfall events in Hubei Province from 1998 to 2001 were diagnosed and analyzed, focused on the physical factor diagnoses. The results revealed the characteristics of some physical factors and their structure, including the shape, forecast value, hierarchical configuration of various physical factors, which help understand the formation mechanisms of heavy rainfall, work out forecasting indices and the model of spring heavy rainfall location forecasting in Hubei Province, and provide references for finer heavy rain forecasting in the future.

Abstract:
By analyzing 194 landslide cases from 1975 to 2002 in Hubei Province,it is found that landslides in Hubei mainly occurred from May to August, which is similar to the monthly mean rainfall distribution;the main landslide area is the mountainous region in the western Hubei; and the high-frequency center is in the Three Gorges Reservoir area;landslides have a close relation with the antecedent rainfall amount, especially heavy rainfall, which accounts for 63.1% of the total amount. The critical rainfall amount was determined and the potential forecasting model of heavy rainfall regime landslides was built with the effective rainfall method.

Abstract:
The correlation between tropic sea surface temperature of global and NAO and ENSO events were studied by means of bivariate wavelet analysis. Results show that the correlation between tropic SST and ENSO cycle on the time scales of 2 to 7 years and over 30 years is apparent with the maximum variance contribution appearing at the period of 4 years. The most striking correlation between North Atlantic SST and ENSO events was found on the time scales of 4 years and 15 years. There is weak anticorrelation between NAO and ENSO events on the time scales of 2 to 7 years and 10 to 24 years, and weak correlation on over 25 year scale.

Abstract:
An analysis was made of 12 weather processes with rainstorms and 9 processes without rainstorms from 21 June to 11 July 2003. The synoptic patterns and physical quantities for the two kinds of processes were compared. The composite-average physical variables for the two kinds of weather processes were calculated, and the thermal and dynamical conditions were analyzed respectively using T213 grid data at 20:00, in combination with the position of the ridge line of Subtropical High and the position of the surface front. Based on the results, a concept prediction model for the short-range heavy rainfall was designed.

Abstract:
In order to develop and utilize reasonably climate resources and offer a scientific basis for the sub-area management of livestock production over grasslands, an analysis was made of the Inner Mongolia grassland climate characteristics and effects of climate on the growth of pasture grass, the distribution of domestic animal breeds and the soil environment. It is found that some isolines of climatic moisture are almost superposed with the boundaries of soil, which indicates that the formation of soil zones is closely related to climatic conditions, and climate and soil environment are main influence factors for pasture types and the ecosystem. Based on the climatic moisture, in combination with the distribution characteristics of soil over Inner Mongolia, a regionalization was carried out of grassland ecological types, which is not only rational, but also stable. It is pointed out that the climatic warming and the resulting changes in recent years improved, to some extent, the productivity of the grasslands, but not changed the ecotype in Inner Mongolia.

Abstract:
The precipitation departure in the growing season (April to September) of crops over Northeast China was analyzed with the rainfall data of 52 stations from 1951 to 2000 over Northeast China. The results show that there was a decreasing trend generally in precipitation with the periods being about 3-7, 12 and 30 years, with drought years more than flooding years in the past 50 years. According to the rainfall anomaly in growing season, Northeast China can be divided into several abnormal areas: a dry trend the middle, southern and eastern parts; and relatively frequent floods/droughts in the western. Considering the decreasing precipitation, it is suggested to adopt dry-farming and water-saving agriculture.

Abstract:
Net primary productivity ( N _ pp ) is one of useful indexes in global change studies. Utilization of remote sensing data from meteorological satellites is an objective way to estimate N _ pp . Using the processed annual normalization vegetation index, N _ pp values can be estimated from an experimental model (NPP-RS). The relationship between each crop's N _ pp and yields was then determined. The total yields can be assessed by the N _ pp value. The total yields and the yields of main crops from 1995 to 2000 in Jilin Province were estimated. The mean relative error is 13.6% for total yields, and 17.6% and 6.7% for maize and rice, respectively.

Abstract:
According to precipitation data from 1951 to 2002, the precipitation distribution characteristics and variation tendency were analyzed. There was great variation in year-to-year precipitation with the maximum being five times greater than the minimum. The seasonal distributions were quite uneven with a general downward trend; especially since 1997 precipitation has been smaller than the normal. By means of monthly precipitation and temperature data from 1951 to 2002 and an empirical formula of land surface evaporation, the land-surface evaporating, evaporating coefficient and available precipitation coefficient were calculated; it is concluded that water resources and precipitation have similar variation characteristics and there occurred frequently droughts in spring in Taian. Through analyzing the underground water level data from 1984 to 2002, the following conclusions are arrived: the underground water level changes basically with precipitation; there is a general downward tendency and underground water resources decrease correspondingly; especially the underground water level declines year by year since 1995. Two solutions to mitigate the shortage of water resources are proposed: increasing precipitation through artificial rain enhancement and economizing water resources use.

Abstract:
The negative accumulated temperature is an ecological indicator of heat resources in agriculture production in winter. In order to accelerate the agriculture development in frost season and give full play to the land resources, it is essential to find out the geographical distribution characteristics of negative accumulated temperature. Based on the daily mean air temperature of 48 meteorological stations in Liaoning Province from 1961 to 1990, the negative accumulated temperatures for all the stations and the geographical distribution characteristics were statistically calculated and analyzed. The multi-year calculation models of accumulated temperature average using latitude, longitude and altitude by means of the small grid method were developed, and the digital pictures of negative accumulated temperature can be drawn on the ARCGIS platform to improve the analysis precision.

Abstract:
對干濕球系數A與環境溫度t的關系進行了研究。結果指出，A不僅與風速有關，也與環境溫度有關，如果不考慮風速和環境溫度，使用干濕球測濕法獲得的測量結果沒有使用價值。t〉40℃以后，隨著t的升高，使用A的擬合公式計算得到的相對濕度值其誤差愈來愈大，在相對濕度較低時情況更為明顯。為此提出了在40℃〈t〈80℃范圍內A的計算公式。經驗證，使用此計算公式獲得A值后再計算出相對濕度，其誤差小于1．4％。

Abstract:
In order to provide quantitative reference for WAFS's users, selecting the GRIB data in the areas and levels in common use in WAFS products, the numerical analysis and comparison were made of the objective analysis of wind and temperature from the National Meteorological Center and the forecast results of the WAFS (wind, temperature) at the same time in the form of the root-mean-square error (RMSE). The WAFS wind and temperature predictions are usually short-term predictions, which are closer to the objective analysis fields than long-term wind and temperature predictions. The forecasts for low levels are closer to the objective analysis fields than the forecasts for higher levels. In additional, v vector forecast with is superior to u vector, and most of the wind errors come from u vector.
