Diurnal Variations of Summer Precipitation Linking to the Topographical Conditions over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region.

ABSTRACT: The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region of above 110 million people, located in North China, is confronted with high risks of precipitation-related disasters during the summer. Efforts to better understand diurnal variation characteristics of summer precipitation and associated physical driving processes are of vital importance to accurate forecast of short-time precipitation. Based on hourly gridded precipitation data at a fine resolution of 0.1° newly developed by China Meteorological Administration (CMA), we investigate diurnal variations of summer precipitation and their linkages with the topographical conditions in the BTH region for the period of 2008-2018. Summer precipitation amounts are shown to nonlinearly change with the topographical height, the largest values occurring at the altitudes of around 350?m in the BTH region. As a whole, diurnal variation of summer mean precipitation in the BTH region exhibits an S-shape structure with the peak appearing around 20:00?LST. While the mountainous precipitation largely triggers the precipitation peak with contribution from coastal and plain areas, the large precipitation in early morning is dominated by the precipitation over coastal and plain areas. Heavy and very heavy precipitation frequencies generally decrease with topographical height while light precipitation frequency increases in a nonlinear manner. The physical processes explaining the tight precipitation-topography linkages are also discussed. Our findings are expected to provide useful information for the improvement of short-time precipitation forecast over the BTH region.

Project description:The impacts of the meteorological condition and emissions reduction on the aerosol concentration over the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region during the COVID-19 lockdown were analyzed by conducting three numerical experiments, including one with the meteorological field in 2019 and MEIC-2019 (2019 monthly Multi-resolution Emissions Inventory for China), one with the meteorological field in 2020 and MEIC-2019, and one with the meteorological field in 2020 and MEIC-2020, via a WRF-Chem model. The numerical experiments were performed from 3 to 16 February in 2019 and in 2020, during which a severe fog–haze event (3–16 February 2020) occurred in the BTH region, with a simulated maximum daily PM2.5 of 245 μg m−3 in Tangshan and 175 μg m−3 in Beijing. The results indicate that the daily PM2.5 decreased by 5–150 μg m−3 due to the emissions reduction and increased by 10–175 μg m−3 due to the meteorological condition in Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Cangzhou, Handan, Hengshui, Chengde, Zhangjiakou, and Tangshan from 7 to 14 February. For the horizontal distribution, PM2.5 and different aerosol species concentrations from 7 to 14 February 2020 increased compared with those during the same period in 2019, indicating that the accumulation of pollutants caused by the unfavorable meteorological condition offset the decreases caused by the emissions reduction, leading to the high aerosol concentration during the COVID-19 lockdown. 摘要本研究从气象条件和减排两方面探讨了COVID-19封锁期间严重雾霾发生的原因[研究目的], 并定量的分析了气象条件和减排对PM2.5浓度的相对影响[创新点].使用WRF-Chem在2019年2月3日–16日和2020年2月3日–16日进行了三个数值模拟试验, 分别为2019年气象场与MEIC-2019 (2019年中国多分辨率月度排放清单) ,2020年气象场与MEIC-2019,2020年气象场与MEIC-2020[研究方法].结果表明COVID-19封锁期间严重雾霾的原因是不利气象条件增加的PM2.5浓度大于减排减少的PM2.5浓度[重要结论].

Project description:Land prices are the key problem of urban land management, with prices of residential land being the most sensitive and the strongest social reflection among the different land types. Exploring spatial and temporal variation of residential land prices and the effect of land market factors on residential land prices can help the government formulate targeted regulations and policies. This study analyzes the spatial and temporal evolution of residential land prices and the factors influencing the land market in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region based on land transaction data from 2014-2017 using exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. The results show the following: ① Residential land prices in Beijing and Tianjin are significantly higher than those in other regions, while Zhangjiakou, Chengde, and western mountainous areas have the lowest residential land prices. Over time, a development trend of residential land price polycentricity gradually emerged, and the locational correlation has gradually increased. ② Under the influence of the land finance model of local governments in China, three factors, namely, the land stock utilization rate, revenue from residential land transfers, and the growth of residential land transaction areas, have significantly contributed to the increase in residential land prices. ③ Under the land market supply and demand mechanism and government management, four indicators, namely, the land supply rate, the per capita residential land supply area, the degree of marketization of the residential land supply, and the frequency of residential land transactions, have suppressed the rise in residential land prices. ④ The overall effect of land market factors on residential land prices in the central and northern regions of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is stronger than that in the southern regions, which may be related to the more active land market and stricter macromanagement policies in Beijing, Tianjin and surrounding areas.
