Making use of the temperature data from 53 stations in Liaoning Province in April from 1961 to 2010 and the data of 500 hPa height field and sea surface temperature issued by National Climate Center,the characteristics of temperature,sea surface temperature(SST) and 500 hPa height field in April in 2010 were analyzed.The results showed that the anomalously lower temperature in April in 2010 was mainly caused by the anomalous Arctic Oscillation(AO),so as to provide scientific basis for short-term climate prediction.
Based on statistic data of agricultural production and meteorological disasters in Liaoning Province from 1971 to 2008,the effect weight,disaster rate and variance value of main agro-meteorological disasters including drought,flood,wind,hail and frozen injury were calculated,and the variation characteristic of time series of agro-meteorological disasters was further analyzed,while the grade division and comprehensive evaluation of agro-meteorological disasters were carried out in our paper.The results showed that there was a negative correlation between grain yield and the degree of agro-meteorological disasters,and agro-meteorological disasters were relatively serious in 1989,1997 and 2000,with the reduction of grain yield.Meanwhile,the occurrence frequency of light disasters was highest,accounting for 39% of total years,and the adverse effect of agro-meteorological disasters on agricultural production became more and more severe decade by decade;the effect weight of drought reached 63%,so drought was the main agro-meteorological disaster influencing agricultural production.
