This study aims to put out on what ratio Bursa province, one of the important heavy industry regions of Turkey, has been affected
climatic process called “Global Warming” or “Climate Change”. For this intend climatic measurement results from Bursa center,
top of Uludağ Mount, Yenişehir and Keles meteorological stations were used. These measurements were taken as minimum temperature
at night-time, maximum temperature at day-time, and mean temperature, mean pressure, insolation intensity, insolation duration,
mean wind speed, minimum temperature above soil, soil temperatures at depths of 5, 10, and 20 cm rainfall. Overall, our statistical
results showed that there was a considerable warming at statistically 1% and 5% levels in summer months, particularly in July
Almost all performed measurements confirm this result. According to climatic data for thirty years (1975–2005), in the last
twelve years contrary to previous 18 years, mean temperature values were higher than long-term mean value nine times (years)
repetitively. Temperatures did not deviated higher than 0.5°C in six of these. At the temperatures below mean, The maximum
deviation was −0.4°C. 相似文献

In the context of 1905-1995 series from Nanjing and Hangzhou, study is undertaken of establishing a predictive model of annual mean temperature in 1996-2005 to come over the Changjiang (Yangtze River) delta region through mean generating function and artificial neural network in combination. Results show that the established model yields mean error of 0.45℃ for their absolute values of annual mean temperature from 10 yearly independent samples (1986-1995) and the difference between the mean predictions and related measurements is 0.156℃. The developed model is found superior to a mean generating function regression model both in historical data fitting and independent sample prediction. 相似文献

Chennai is the fourth largest metropolitan city in India, and it is one of India's chief industrial and economic growth centers. The temperature change in Chennai is studied in this research by analyzing the mean maximum temperature (MMaxT), mean minimum temperature (MMinT), and mean annual temperature (MAT) from 1951 to 2010. Data are analyzed in three parts by running linear regression and by taking anomalies of all time periods: (a) the whole period from 1951 to 2010; (b) phase 1, 1951–1980; and (c) phase 2, 1981–2010. The trends have been evaluated by Student's t statistics and supported by Mann Kendall rank statistics. The observed change in temperature is positive, which has been clear increasing trends in MMaxT, MMinT, and MAT. MAT has increased 1.3°C since the last 60 years. MMaxT has increased up to 1.6°C, in which the second phase accounts for 75 % of the total change during the last 60 years. MMinT over Chennai has increased 1.0°C. There is a high rise in temperature during winter season. 相似文献

Summary Climatological statistics of extreme temperature events over Kenya are established from the analysis of daily and monthly
maximum temperatures for a representative station (Nairobi Dagoretti Corner) over the period 1956–1997.
The months of June to August were shown to be the coldest with a mean monthly maximum temperature of less than 22 °C. Seasonal
(June to August) mean maximum temperature was 21.5 °C. Using this seasonal mean temperature for the period 1967–1997 delineated
1968 as the coldest year in this series and 1983 as the warmest year.
Spectral analysis of the seasonal data, for both the coldest and the warmest years, revealed that the major periods were the
quasi-biweekly (10 days) and the Intraseasonal Oscillations (23 days). Secondary peaks occurred at periods of 4–6 and 2.5–3.5
days.
A temperature threshold of 16.7 °C during July was used to define cold air outbreaks over Nairobi. This threshold temperature
of 16.7 °C was obtained from the mean July maximum temperature (20.9 °C) minus two standard deviations. Notable trends include
a decrease in the frequency of station-days, between 1956 and 1997, with temperatures less than 16.7 °C during July.
Surface pressure patterns indicate that the origin of the cold air is near latitude 25° S and to the east of mainland South
Africa. The cold air near 25° S is advected northwards ahead of the surface pressure ridge.

A diagnostic study of 80 yrs(1901–80) of surface temperatures collected at West Lafayette, Indiana, has been found to be in
tune with the global trend and that for the eastern two-thirds of the United States, namely, cold at the turn of the century,
warming up to about 1940, and then cooling to present. The study was divided into two cold periods (1901–18, 1947–80) and
a warm period (1919–46), based on the distribution of annual mean temperature. Decadal mean annual temperatures ranged from
10 °C in period I to 12.2 °C in period II, to 9.4 °C during the present cold period. Themean annual temperature for the 80 yr ranged from the coldest of 8.7 °C in 1979 to the warmest of 13.6 °C in 1939. Thedaily mean temperature for the entire 80-yr ranged from -4.7 °C on 31 January to 25.1 °C on 27 July. Thecoldest daily mean was -26.7 °C on 17 January, 1977, and thewarmest daily mean was 35 °C on 14 July, 1936. The range of values for thedaily mean maximum temperatures was -.2 °C on 31 January to 31.4 °C on 27 July. Corresponding values for thedaily mean minimum are -9.2 °C on 31 January and 18.7 °C on 27 July. The all-time extreme temperatures are -30.6 °C on 26 February, 1963 and
43.9 °C on 14 July, 1936.
Climatic variability has been considered by computing the standard deviations of a) the daily mean maximum and minimum temperature
per year, and b) the daily mean maximum and minimum temperatures for each day of the year for the 80-yr period. These results
have shown that there is more variability in the daily mean maximum per year than in the daily mean minimum, for each year
of the 80-yr period. Also the variability for both extremes has been greater in each of the two cold periods than in the warm
period. Particularly noticeable has been theincrease in the variability of the daily mean minima per year during the current cooling trend. Further, it has been determined that
the variability in the daily mean maxima and minima for each day of the year (based on the entire 80 yrs is a) two times greater
in the winter than in the summer for both extremes, and b) about the same for each in the summer, greater for daily maximum
in the spring and fall, but greater for the daily minimum during the winter. The latter result is undoubtedly related to the
effect of snow cover on daily minimum temperatures.
An examination of daily record maximum and minimum temperatures has been made to help establish climatic trends this century.
For the warm period, 175 record maxima and 68 record minima were set, compared to 213 record minima and 105 record maxima
during the recent cold period. For West Lafayette, the present climatic trend is definitely one of extreme record-breaking
cold. Evidence has also been presented to show the substantial increases in snowfall amounts in the lee regions of the Great
Lakes during the present cold period, due to the lake-induced snow squalls associated with cold air mass intrusions. The possible
impact of the cooling trend on agricultural activities has also been noted, due to a reduced growing season. 相似文献

Summary Spatial-temporal characteristics of temperature variations were analyzed from China daily temperature based on 486 stations
during the period 1960–2000. The method of hierarchical cluster analysis was used to divide the territory into sub-regional
areas with a coherent evolution, both annually and seasonally. Areas numbering 7–9 are chosen to describe the regional features
of air temperature in mainland China.
All regions in mainland China experienced increasing trends of annual mean temperature. The trend of increasing temperature
was about 0.2–0.3 °C/10 yr in northern China and less than 0.1 °C/10 yr in southern China. In the winter season, the increasing
trend of temperature was about 0.5–0.7 °C/10 yr in northern China and about 0.2–0.3 °C/10 yr in southern China. The increasing
trend of autumn temperature was mainly located in northwestern China and southwestern China including the Tibetan Plateau.
In spring, the rising trend of temperature was concentrated in Northeast China and North China while there was a declining
temperature trend of −0.13 °C/10 yr in the upper Yangtze River. In summer, the declining trend of temperature was only concentrated
in the mid-low valley of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers while surrounding this valley there were increasing trends in South
China, Southwest China, Northwest China, and Northeast China.
Rapid changes in temperature in various regions were detected by the multiple timescale t-test method. The year 1969 was a rapid change point from a high temperature to a low temperature along the Yangtze River
and South China. In the years 1977–1979, temperature significantly increased from a lower level to a higher level in many
places except for regions in North China and the Yangtze River. Another rapid increasing temperature trend was observed in
1987. In the years 1976–1979, a positive rapid change of summer temperature occurred in northwestern China and southwestern
China while a decreasing temperature was found between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. A rapid increase of winter
temperature was found for 1977–1979 and 1985–1986 in many places.
There were increasing events of extreme temperature in broad areas except in the north part of Northeast China and the north
part of the Xinjiang region. In winter, increasing temperature of the climate state and weakening temperature extremes are
observed in northern China. In summer, both increasing temperature of the climate state and enhancing temperature extremes
were commonly exhibited in northern China.

Summary We analysed long-term temperature trends based on 12 homogenised series of monthly temperature data in Switzerland at elevations
between 316 m.a.s.l. and 2490 m.a.s.l for the 20th century (1901–2000) and for the last thirty years (1975–2004). Comparisons were made between these two periods, with changes
standardised to decadal trends. Our results show mean decadal trends of +0.135 °C during the 20th century and +0.57 °C based on the last three decades only. These trends are more than twice as high as the averaged temperature
trends in the Northern Hemisphere.
Most stations behave quite similarly, indicating that the increasing trends are linked to large-scale rather than local processes.
Seasonal analyses show that the greatest temperature increase in the 1975–2004 period occurred during spring and summer whereas
they were particularly weak in spring during the 20th century. Recent temperature increases are as much related to increases in maximum temperatures as to increases in minimum
temperature, a trend that was not apparent in the 1901–2000 period. The different seasonal warming rates may have important
consequences for vegetation, natural disasters, human health, and energy consumption, amongst others. The strong increase
in summer temperatures helps to explain the accelerated glacier retreat in the Alps since 1980.

The spatial and temporal variability of land carbon flux over the past one hundred years was investigated based on an empirical
model directly calculating soil respiration rate. Our model shows that during 1901–1995, about 44-89 PgC (equals to 0.5, 0.9
PgC/yr respectively) were absorbed by terrestrial biosphere. The simulated net ecosystem productivity (NEP) after the 1930s
was close to the estimated value of “ missing C sink” from deconvolution analysis. Most of the total carbon sink happened
during 1951–1985 with the estimated value of 33–50 PgC. Three major sinks were located in the tropics (10°S–10°N), Northern
mid-latitudes (30°–60°N) and Southern subtropics (10°–40°S). During 1940s-mid-1970s, carbon sinks by terrestrial ecosystem
increased with time, and decreased after the mid-1970s. These may be due to the changing of climate condition, as during the
1940s–1970s, temperature decreased and precipitation increased, while after the mid-1970s, an opposite climate situation occurred
with evident increasing in temperature and decreasing in precipitation. Usually, warmer and dryer climate condition is not
favor for carbon absorption by biosphere and even induces net carbon release from soil, while cooler and wetter condition
may induce more carbon sink. Our model results show that the net carbon flux is particularly dependent on moisture / precipitation
effect despite of temperature effect. The changing of climate in the past century may be a possible factor inducing increases
in carbon sink in addition to CO2 and N fertilizer.

Summary The possibility of climate change in the Korean Peninsula has been examined in view of the general increase in greenhouse
gases. Analyses include changes in annual temperature and precipitation. These analyses are supplemented with our observations
regarding the apparent decrease of forest areas.
It was found that there was a 0.96 °C (0.42 °C per decade) increase in annual mean temperature between 1974 and 1997. The
increase in large cities was 1.5 °C but only 0.58 °C at rural and marine stations. The difference in the mean temperature
between large cities and rural stations was small from 1974 to 1981. However, the difference increased from 1982 to 1997.
In particular, the warming appears most significant in winter. Prior to 1982, the lowest temperatures were often −18 °C in
central Korea, and since then the lowest temperatures have been only −12∼−14 °C. Recently, the minimum January temperature
has increased at a rate of 1.5 °C per decade. It is estimated that the increase of1 °C in annual mean temperature corresponds
to about a 250 km northward shift of the subtropical zone boundary.
The analysis of data from 1906 to 1997 indicates a trend of increasing annual precipitation, an increase of 182 mm during
the 92-year peirod, with large year-to-year variations. More than half of the annual mean amount, 1,274 mm, occurred from
June to September.
Meteorological data and satellite observations suggest that changes have occurred in the characteristics of the quasi-stationary
fronts that produce summer rain. In recent years scattered local heavy showers usually occur with an inactive showery front,
in comparison with the classical steady rain for more than three weeks. For instance, local heavy rainfall, on 6 August 1998
was in the range of 123–481 mm. The scattered convective storms resulted in flooding with a heavy toll of approx. 500 people.
The northward shift of the inactive showery front over Korea, and of a convergence zone in central China, correlate with the
increase in temperature. It has been suggested that the decrease in forest areas and the change in ground cover also contribute
to the warming of the Korean Peninsula.

Factors controlling the magnitudes of, and short-term variations in, the potential temperatures of the snow surface and the
air at the height of 2 m θS and θ2 m over Arctic sea ice in winter are analysed. The study addresses the winters of 1986–1987 and 1987–1988, and is based on the
temperature, wind, and cloud observations made by Russian drifting ice stations. It also relies on the ERA40 re-analyses of
the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, which were utilised to calculate the lateral heat advection at the
sites of the ice stations. The cloud cover and wind speed were more important than the heat advection in controlling the magnitudes
of θ2 m and θS, while on a time scale of 24 h, during steady forcing conditions, the heat advection was the most important factor affecting
the changes in θS and θ2 m. During changing conditions, and considering individual factors separately, the monthly mean 24-h temperature changes were
less than ± 5 °C: the effect of the cloud cover was the largest, and that of the heat advection was the smallest. When simultaneous
changes in the three factors were analysed, the seasonal mean temperature changes were even of the order of ±15 °C, with the
strongest warming events exceeding 35 K in a single day. The difference θS − θ2 m reached its lowest seasonal mean values during conditions of clear skies (−1.3 °C), light winds (−1.3 °C) and warm-air advection
(−0.8 °C). θS and θ2 m followed each other closely, even during major synoptic-scale temperature variations. 相似文献

Variations of hydrometeorological variables of the Rybinsk Reservoir area from 1947 to 2005 are analyzed. A special attention is given to the global warming period started since 1976. It is shown that the intensity of air temperature increase on the reservoir shore during recent 30 years made up 0.46–0.56°C/10 years. The maximum increase in the water temperature at shore stations and in the surface layer was registered in July at an increase rate of 0.7–1.2°C/10 years. The change in climate conditions resulted in the increase in low-water runoff, decrease in snowmelt flood volumes, and shift in the time of snowmelt flood start. 相似文献

Influence of vegetation changes during the Last Glacial Maximum using the BMRC atmospheric general circulation model 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The influence of different vegetation distributions on the atmospheric circulation during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM,
21 000 years before present) is investigated. The atmospheric general circulation model of the Bureau of Meteorology Research
Center was run using a modern vegetation and in a second experiment with a vegetation reconstruction for the LGM. It is found
that a change from conifer to desert and tundra causes an additional LGM cooling of 1–2 °C in Western Europe, up to −4 °C
in North America and −6 °C in Siberia. An expansion of dryland vegetation causes an additional annual cooling of 1–2 °C for
Australia and northern Africa. On the other hand, an increase of temperature (2 °C) is found in Alaska due to changes in circulation.
In the equatorial region the LGM vegetation leads to an increased modelled temperature of 0.5–1.5 °C and decreased precipitation
(30%) over land due to a reduction of the tropical rainforest, mainly in Indonesia, where the reduction of precipitation over
land is associated with an increase of precipitation of 30% over the western Pacific.

Near-term increase in frequency of seasonal temperature extremes prior to the 2°C global warming target 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Given current international efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit human-induced global-mean near-surface temperature
increases to 2°C, relative to the pre-industrial era, we seek to determine the impact such a temperature increase might have
upon the frequency of seasonal-mean temperature extremes; further we seek to determine what global-mean temperature increase
would prevent extreme temperature values from becoming the norm. Results indicate that given a 2°C global mean temperature
increase it is expected that for 70–80% of the land surface maximum seasonal-mean temperatures will exceed historical extremes
(as determined from the 95th percentile threshold value over the second half of the 20th Century) in at least half of all
years, i.e. the current historical extreme values will effectively become the norm. Many regions of the globe—including much
of Africa, the southeastern and central portions of Asia, Indonesia, and the Amazon—will reach this point given the “committed”
future global-mean temperature increase of 0.6°C (1.4°C relative to the pre-industrial era) and 50% of the land surface will
reach it given a future global-mean temperature increase of between 0.8 and 0.95°C (1.6–1.75°C relative to the pre-industrial
era). These results suggest substantial fractions of the globe could experience seasonal-mean temperature extremes with high
regularity, even if the global-mean temperature increase remains below the 2°C target. 相似文献

Regional or local scale hydrological impact studies require high resolution climate change scenarios which should incorporate
some assessment of uncertainties in future climate projections. This paper describes a method used to produce a multi-model
ensemble of multivariate weather simulations including spatial–temporal rainfall scenarios and single-site temperature and
potential evapotranspiration scenarios for hydrological impact assessment in the Dommel catchment (1,350 km2) in The Netherlands and Belgium. A multi-site stochastic rainfall model combined with a rainfall conditioned weather generator
have been used for the first time with the change factor approach to downscale projections of change derived from eight Regional
Climate Model (RCM) experiments for the SRES A2 emission scenario for the period 2071–2100. For winter, all downscaled scenarios
show an increase in mean daily precipitation (catchment average change of +9% to +40%) and typically an increase in the proportion
of wet days, while for summer a decrease in mean daily precipitation (−16% to −57%) and proportion of wet days is projected.
The range of projected mean temperature is 7.7°C to 9.1°C for winter and 19.9°C to 23.3°C for summer, relative to means for
the control period (1961–1990) of 3.8°C and 16.8°C, respectively. Mean annual potential evapotranspiration is projected to
increase by between +17% and +36%. The magnitude and seasonal distribution of changes in the downscaled climate change projections
are strongly influenced by the General Circulation Model (GCM) providing boundary conditions for the RCM experiments. Therefore,
a multi-model ensemble of climate change scenarios based on different RCMs and GCMs provides more robust estimates of precipitation,
temperature and evapotranspiration for hydrological impact assessments, at both regional and local scale. 相似文献

Tropical climates at the Last Glacial Maximum: a new synthesis of terrestrial palaeoclimate data. I. Vegetation, lake-levels and geochemistry 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Palaeodata in synthesis form are needed as benchmarks for the Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP). Advances
since the last synthesis of terrestrial palaeodata from the last glacial maximum (LGM) call for a new evaluation, especially
of data from the tropics. Here pollen, plant-macrofossil, lake-level, noble gas (from groundwater) and δ18O (from speleothems) data are compiled for 18±2 ka (14C), 32 °N–33 °S. The reliability of the data was evaluated using explicit criteria and some types of data were re-analysed
using consistent methods in order to derive a set of mutually consistent palaeoclimate estimates of mean temperature of the
coldest month (MTCO), mean annual temperature (MAT), plant available moisture (PAM) and runoff (P-E). Cold-month temperature
(MAT) anomalies from plant data range from −1 to −2 K near sea level in Indonesia and the S Pacific, through −6 to −8 K at
many high-elevation sites to −8 to −15 K in S China and the SE USA. MAT anomalies from groundwater or speleothems seem more
uniform (−4 to −6 K), but the data are as yet sparse; a clear divergence between MAT and cold-month estimates from the same
region is seen only in the SE USA, where cold-air advection is expected to have enhanced cooling in winter. Regression of
all cold-month anomalies against site elevation yielded an estimated average cooling of −2.5 to −3 K at modern sea level,
increasing to ≈−6 K by 3000 m. However, Neotropical sites showed larger than the average sea-level cooling (−5 to −6 K) and
a non-significant elevation effect, whereas W and S Pacific sites showed much less sea-level cooling (−1 K) and a stronger
elevation effect. These findings support the inference that tropical sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) were lower than the CLIMAP
estimates, but they limit the plausible average tropical sea-surface cooling, and they support the existence of CLIMAP-like
geographic patterns in SST anomalies. Trends of PAM and lake levels indicate wet LGM conditions in the W USA, and at the highest
elevations, with generally dry conditions elsewhere. These results suggest a colder-than-present ocean surface producing a
weaker hydrological cycle, more arid continents, and arguably steeper-than-present terrestrial lapse rates. Such linkages
are supported by recent observations on freezing-level height and tropical SSTs; moreover, simulations of “greenhouse” and
LGM climates point to several possible feedback processes by which low-level temperature anomalies might be amplified aloft.

Alpine ecosystems in permafrost region are extremely sensitive to climate change. The headwater regions of Yangtze River and
Yellow River of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau permafrost area were selected. Spatial-temporal shifts in the extent and distribution
of tundra ecosystems were investigated for the period 1967–2000 by landscape ecological method and aerial photographs for
1967, and satellite remote sensing data (the Landsat’s TM) for 1986 and 2000. The relationships were analyzed between climate
change and the distribution area variation of tundra ecosystems and between the permafrost change and tundra ecosystems. The
responding model of tundra ecosystem to the combined effects of climate and permafrost changes was established by using statistic
regression method, and the contribution of climate changes and permafrost variation to the degradation of tundra ecosystems
was estimated. The regional climate exhibited a tendency towards significant warming and desiccation with the air temperature
increased by 0.4–0.67°C/10a and relative stable precipitation over the last 45 years. Owing to the climate continuous warming,
the intensity of surface heat source (HI) increased at the average of 0.45 W/m2 per year, the difference of surface soil temperature and air temperature (DT) increased at the range of 4.1°C–4.5°C, and
the 20-cm depth soil temperature within the active layer increased at the range of 1.1°C–1.4°C. The alpine meadow and alpine
swamp meadow were more sensitive to permafrost changes than alpine steppe. The area of alpine swamp meadow decreased by 13.6–28.9%,
while the alpine meadow area decreased by 13.5–21.3% from 1967 to 2000. The contributions of climate change to the degradation
of the alpine meadow and alpine swamp was 58–68% and 59–65% between 1967 and 2000. The synergic effects of climate change
and permafrost variation were the major drivers for the observed degradation in tundra ecosystems of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. 相似文献

During the 27th cruise of the research vessel Akademik Ioffe in 2009, the measurements in the area of the main saddle of the Chain fracture zone were carried out. They included the CTD-sounding
and determination of current speeds by lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP). As a result, the structure of waters
was determined and the transport of bottom waters was estimated as 0.11–0.17 Sv that is significantly less than the previous
estimates. The variability of bottom potential temperature values as compared with the measurements carried out in 1991–1994
is registered. At the station situated on the main saddle, the potential temperature increased by 0.1°C and at the station
located behind the saddle, it decreased by 0.034°C. 相似文献

Last Glacial Maximum climate of the former Soviet Union and Mongolia reconstructed from pollen and plant macrofossil data 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

An improved concept of the best analogues method was used to reconstruct the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climate from a set
of botanical records from the former Soviet Union and Mongolia. Terrestrial pollen and macrofossil taxa were grouped into
broad classes – plant functional types (PFTs), defined by the ecological and climatic parameters used in the BIOME1 model.
PFT scores were then calibrated in terms of modern climate using 1245 surface pollen spectra from Eurasia and North America.
In contrast to individual taxa, which exhibit great variability and may not be present in the palaeoassemblages, even in suitable
climates, PFTs are more characteristic of the vegetation types. The modified method thus allows climate reconstruction at
time intervals with partial direct analogues of modern vegetation (e.g. the LGM). At 18 kBP, mean temperatures were 20–29 °C
colder than today in winter and 5–11 °C colder in summer in European Russia and Ukraine. Sites from western Georgia show negative,
but moderate temperature anomalies compared to today: 8–11 °C in January and 5–7 °C in July. LGM winters were 7–15 °C colder
and summers were 1–7 °C colder in Siberia and Mongolia. Annual precipitation sums were 50–750 mm lower than today across northern
Eurasia, suggesting a weakening of the Atlantic and Pacific influences. Reconstructed drought index shows much drier LGM conditions
in northern and mid-latitude Russia, but similar to or slightly wetter than today around the Black Sea and in Mongolia, suggesting
compensation of precipitation losses by lower-than-present evaporation.

The trends and features of China’s climatic change in the past and future are analysed by applying station obser-vations and GCM simulation results. Nationally, the country has warmed by 0.3oC in annual mean air temperature and decreased by 5% in annual precipitation over 1951-1990. Regionally, temperature change has varied from a cooling of 0.3oC in Southwest China to a warming of 1.0oC in Northeast China. With the exception of South China, all regions of China have shown a declination in precipitation. Climatic change has the features of increasing remark-ably in winter temperature and decreasing obviously in summer precipitation. Under doubled CO2 concentration, climatic change in China will tend to be warmer and moister, with increases of 4.5oC in annual mean air temperature and 11% in annual precipitation on the national scale. Future climatic change will reduce the temporal and spatial differences of climatic factors. 相似文献
