Abstract

Two long-term instrumental data bases containing meteorological observations from the People's Republic of China (PRC) are presented in this NDP. The first version of this database extended through 1988 and was made available in 1991 as CDIAC NDP-039. This update of the database includes data through 1993. These data sets were compiled in accordance with a joint research agreement signed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the PRC Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Aug. 19, 1987. CAS has provided records from 267 stations, partitioned into two networks of 65 and 205 stations, with three stations common to both data bases. The 65-station-network data contain monthly means, extremes, or totals of barometric pressure, air temperature, precipitation amount, relative humidity, sunshine duration, cloud amount, dominant wind direction and frequency, wind speed, and number of days with snow cover. Station histories are available from 59 of the 65 stations. The 205-station-network data contain monthly mean temperatures and monthly precipitation totals; however, station histories are not currently available. Sixteen stations from these data sets (13 from the 65-station, 3 from the 205-station) have temperature and/or precipitation records beginning before 1900, whereas the remaining stations began observing in the early to mid-1900s.

Use of the K ppen-Trewartha Climate Classification to Evaluate Climatic Refugia in Statistically Derived Ecoregions for the People's Republic of China

Journal Article Baker, Barry ; Diaz, Henry ; HargroveJr., William Walter ; ... - Climatic Change

Changes in climate as projected by state-of-the-art climate models are likely to result in novel combinations of climate and topo-edaphic factors that will have substantial impacts on the distribution and persistence of natural vegetation and animal species. We have used multivariate techniques to quantify some of these changes; the method employed was the Multivariate Spatio-Temporal Clustering (MSTC) algorithm. We used the MSTC to quantitatively define ecoregions for the People s Republic of China for historical and projected future climates. Using the K ppen Trewartha classification system we were able to quantify some of the temperature and precipitation relationships of themore »« less
