Abstract

Abstract: We integrated the meteorological records from 36 national weather stations and CN05.1 gridded daily observation dataset to analyze the climate change characteristics of Changbai Mountain eco-functional area. Linear tendency estimation, Mann-Kendall mutation test, cumulative anomaly method and Morlet wavelet analysis were used to investigate the temporal and spatial variation of temperature (annual temperature, seasonal temperature, extreme temperature), moisture (annual precipitation, seasonal precipitation, relative humidity), radiation (sunshine duration, sunshine percentage) and wind speed from 1961 to 2016. The results showed that, during 1961-2016, the temperature of this area increased, the radiation and wind speed decreased, and the precipitation varied periodically. Specifically, winter temperature [0.45 ℃·(10 a)^-1] and the lowest temperature [0.74 ℃·(10 a)^-1] significantly increased. The mean annual wind speed significantly decreased [-0.21 m·s^-1·(10 a)^-1]. No abrupt climate change was observed. The annual precipitation days decreased considerably [-7.01 d·(10 a)^-1], which was different from the climate change pattern of Northeast China. The annual precipitation trend coefficient of this area was 16.06 mm·(10 a)^-1, which could not be simply depicted by increase or decrease in trend. The precipitation change in this area was dominated by periodically patterns, and the period was 26 years and 3 years. Our results would be instructive to the regional ecological assessment, and the research on ecosystem responses to climate change and phenological changes.

Key words: wind speed, precipitation, sunshine, climate change, temperature, Changbai Mountain Water Conservation and Biodiversity Protection Area.
