Title: Analysis of Variation Characteristics of Sunshine in Recent 56 Years in Huanren Area
Abstract:On the basis of 56 years of measured data concerning sunshine duration in Huanren County, the decadal, annual, seasonal, and monthly variation characteristics of sunshine duration in recent 56 years a...On the basis of 56 years of measured data concerning sunshine duration in Huanren County, the decadal, annual, seasonal, and monthly variation characteristics of sunshine duration in recent 56 years and its relationship with relative sunshine, total cloudiness, lower cloudiness and water vapour pressure in Huanren area are interpreted in this paper. It demonstrates that the annual, seasonal and monthly sunshine duration show a decreasing trend, decreasing with rapidest speed in spring and slowest speed in winter. The sunshine hours in each month in Huanren area tend to decline, among which the decreasing trend is more obvious in May and less in February. The annual variation of sunshine duration is consistent with sunshine percentage. Sudden change of sunshine duration occurred around 1992. Annual low cloudiness and vapour pressure are slightly increasing. The significantly negative correlation exists between sunshine hours and low cloudiness, and total cloud cover and water vapour pressure are the major factors responsible for decline in sunshine hours in Huanren area.Read More
