Impacts of Climatic Change on Reference Crop Evapotranspiration across Different Climatic Zones of Ningxia at Multi-Time Scales from 1957 to 2018 by Ziyang Zhao, Hongrui Wang, Cheng Wang, Wangcheng Li, Hao Chen, Shuxin Gong

“…The abrupt change point for climatic factors and ET0 series was obtained at approximately 1990 across all climatic zones, and the ET0 had a long period of 25a and a short period of 10a at annual scale, while it was 15a and 5a at seasonal scale. RH and Tmax were the most sensitive climatic factors at the annual and seasonal scales, while the largest contribution rates were Tmax and SD. …”

Analysis of Spatiotemporal Dynamic Characteristics on Potential Evapotranspiration and Water Budget in Hebei Province by ZHENG Defeng, ZHAN Shiyao, CAO Yongqiang

“…The spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of regional potential evapotranspiration can lay a theoretical foundation for regional rational crop planting and scientific agricultural irrigation.In the context of global warming and increasing evapotranspiration rates,the Penman-Monteith equation is used to calculate the potential evapotranspiration (ET₀) and water budget (K) of Hebei Province from1967 to 2019 according to the actual meteorological observation data of twelve weather stations in Hebei Province,and the characteristics of their spatiotemporal dynamic variations are analyzed.On this basis,the analysis method of the Morlet wavelet function is introduced for the cycle analysis of ET₀ and K in 53 years.The results show that ET₀ has obvious zonal characteristics,and it is generally on the rise while K is on the decline during this period.Moreover,the evapotranspiration variations vary with seasons:ET₀ shows an upward trend in spring,autumn,and winter but a downward trend in summer.The cycle of K has the most significant oscillation at 35 a,and the scope of the oscillation is prominent in summer and autumn.Therefore,obvious changes in seasonal characteristics of Hebei Province have a great impact on K.The results can provide a reliable theoretical basis for agricultural water-saving and planting structure adjustment in Hebei Province.…”

WEATHER HAZARD CHALLENGES FOR FLYING AGRICULTURAL DRONES IN IRAQ by Saif A. Aljuhaishi, Yaseen K. Al-Timimi, Basim I. Wahab

“…Using ArcGIS v.10.8, maps were created of the percentage frequencies of weather hazards for each climate element, as well as for the total elements in Iraq annually and seasonally. The results showed that the worst area for launching and flying agricultural drones in Iraq is the northern region, especially in the winter, spring, and autumn seasons, as the highest percentage of preventing drone flying during the year reached 54.8%, and the percentage was 64.2% in winter, 46.7% in spring, and 51.2% in the autumn. …”

Multivariate Stochastic Simulation of Wind-solar-hydro Resources Considering Spatio-temporal Correlations by CHENG Qiuyu, HUANG Qiang, MING Bo, CHEN Jing, LI Yan

“…Complementary operation of wind-solar-hydro resources is an effective mean to promote the consumption of new energy and improve resource use efficiency.Synchronous simulation of wind-solar-hydro resources can provide reliable data for the planning,design,management and risk assessment of the complementary system.Taking ten million-kilowatt-class wind-solar-hydro complementary system upstream Yellow River as an example,after proposing a multivariate stochastic simulation method with consideration of spatio-temporal correlations between wind-solar-hydro resources,this paper firstly analyzes the spatio-temporal correlations of wind-solar-hydro resources,with runoff as the main variable,and wind power and photovoltaic power output as the slave variable for the stochastic simulation;secondly,simulates the runoff in different time series by a seasonal autoregressive model;finally,simulates the photovoltaic power output by the Copula function and conditional probability formula according to the correlation analysis between runoff and wind and photovoltaic power output,as well as the wind power output by a seasonal autoregressive model.The results show that the proposed method can accurately simulate the multivariable time series that can satisfy the historical statistical regularity.…”
