[Accuracy evaluation of the TRMM satellite-based precipitation data over the mid-high latitudes].

Satellite-based precipitation product plays a significant role in analyzing spatial pattern of precipitation. TRMM 3B42 (3B42), as one of important precipitation products, is a key forcing factor for ecological, climate and hydrological models with its sufficient spatial and temporal scales. At present, there is still limited knowledge of accuracy and error structure of new version 3B42 V7, especially the lack of evaluating its accuracy in regions of mid-high latitudes, which restricts its application in the field of ecology, climate and hydrology.

[Forest resources in Qungyuan County of Liaoning, Northeast China: the structure and optimal spatial allocation].

By using RS/GIS techniques and the method of multiple objective grey situation decision, and in considering the forest economic benefits (biomass and stand productivity) and ecological benefits (water and soil conservation) , an optimal spatial allocation of the present forest types in Qingyuan County of Liaoning, Northeast China was approached in this study. After the optimization of spatial allocation, the structural proportions of different forest types in Qingyuan County changed obviously, with the area of coniferous forests reduced from 43% to 23% , the area of broadleaved forests reduced from 51% to 31% , the area of mixed coniferous-broadleaf forests increased from 3% to 43% , and the area of shrubs remained unchanged. As compared with the results before optimization, the biomass, stand productivity, and water conservation function of the forest ecosystem in Qingyuan County after optimization increased by 0.
