Based on data of daily precipitation, temperature, sunshine hours, relative humidity, wind speed and vapor pressure of 70 meteorological stations from 1960 to 2019 in Shanxi Province, the Penman-Monteith model was applied to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (ET). The spatiotemporal variations of ET as well as the ET in different climatic zones and at different altitudes were quantitatively analyzed. The results showed that the mean annual ET decreased from west to east in 1960-2019.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed temperature data from 620 meteorological stations in China, comparing annual accumulated temperatures above 10°C between two periods: 1951-1978 and 1979-2005.
  • The findings indicated that most regions, particularly in Northeast, North, and South China, experienced higher accumulated temperatures above 10°C in the later period.
  • Additionally, the study noted shifts in the starting and ending dates of accumulated temperature periods, with northern areas starting earlier and southern areas starting later, while the duration of these temperature periods generally increased across many regions.
