Climatic zoning of Xinjiang for heterogeneous production of high-quality wine by Xue Feng, Tang Xiang-ling

“…The premium planting areas for natural sweet wine grapes are concentrated primarily in the northern Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang and the southern Junggar Basin at the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. The sparkling wine grape cultivation area is scarce in Xinjiang, with only a small, high-quality segment located in the Emin region of the Tacheng Basin. …”

Statistical analysis of heat waves in the southern slopes of Alborz by Zienab Hosinpoor, AliAkbar Shamsipour, Mostafa Karimi, Faramarz khoshakhlagh

“…Heat waves are important phenomena in Iran, And its upsurge in recent years seems to have a high upside trend.This climate has a negative impact on agriculture, forest fire and forestry, water resources, energy use and human health.The purpose of the research is to explain the frequency, time distribution, continuity of thermal waves, and the identification of its occurrence in the southern foothills of central Alborz.Therefore, using the statistical methods and maximum daily temperature data of Tehran (Mehrabad), Qazvin and Semnan stations for the statistical period of 30 years (1966-2016), the mentioned characteristics were extracted.In the first step, the nonparametric method of Kendal was used to understand the variability and awareness of the monthly trend of maximum temperatures in the study period.In order to determine the severity, duration and frequency of heat wave events, the percentiles (95.98) and normalized temperature deviation (NTD) were used.The results of the study showed that the frequency of short-wave heat waves was higher.Most frequencies are related to 2-day waves, respectively, and Tehran (Mehrabad), Semnan and Qazvin stations are more frequent.The highest frequency of annual events was detected at stations in Tehran (11 waves in 2010), in Semnan (9 waves in 2015) and Qazvin (7 waves in 2015), respectively.The highest frequency of monthly heat wave events was recorded in June and September.The highest continuation (15 days) was obtained in March 2008 with the percentile method at Mehrabad station.In the normalized deviation method, the temperature was calculated as a warm wave (12 days) in 2008.The highest annual frequency of heat loss occurred in all three stations in 2015.The evolution of the process indicated an increase in the incidence of thermal waves in the cold period of the year But in other chapters, no meaningful changes were made.As it says, the decline in cold winter temperatures is on the southern slopes of Alborz.The results of the two methods showed that in the normalized deviation of the temperature, the number of thermal waves more than the percentile method was recorded, but in the percentile method, the thermal wave was more prominent in the cold period of the year.…”

Relationship Between a Heavy Rainfall and Gravity Wave in Sichuan Basin by Xu Yizhou, Li Guoping, Zhang Xiaoyu, Xie Xin, Dong Yuanchang

“…Numerical experiments conducted on flattening various mountain ranges in the southern part of the Basin indicate that precipitation initially occurs in the transition zone between the northern foothills and the plain. The southern topography of the Basin enhances the vertical wind shear through the downhill acceleration and the disturbance geopotential height gradient caused by the radiative cooling difference, which affects the gravity wave excitation region and the precipitation region. …”

“…Combining a flat expanse of land, wide and steep slopes to the north and west, the area represents an ideal location for military settlement and surveillance; the plateau is easily defended, and faces the first foothills of the Massif Central. The site has been the subject of numerous surveys and test trenches since the early 1990s, which led to the discovery of no fewer than six defensive systems toward the end of the 2nd and 1st c. …”
