    To rapidly and accurately estimate the surface solar radiation over rugged terrains, a simplified algorithm was established by considering the effect of astronomy, meteorology and topography factors, which included model of astronomical radiation over rugged terrains, climatological formula of surface solar radiation, and optimal interpolation scheme for sunshine percentage. A case study was then implemented in Anhui Province to illustrate the parameterization and application of the algorithm. Regression analysis was adopted to obtain the parameters of climatological formula by using observed solar radiation of 2 stations, and the relative error of the formula was 7.65%. Result of cross-validation indicated that the Thin Plate Spline method was the optimal interpolation scheme for sunshine percentage in Anhui Province. By using the simplified algorithm, the surface solar radiation at any location could be calculated on the basis of the percentage of sunshine and the digital elevation. Result indicated that the annual surface solar radiation was averaged at 4500MJ·m-2·y-1 in the province. As effected by the topographical and climate characteristics, the spatial pattern was dominated by more solar radiation gained in the north and less in the south of the province, while the southern slope of mountain received more solar radiation compared than the northern slope. The impact of terrains on the solar radiation showed different season characteristics, which is more significant in the winter half year. Moreover, the rugged terrains tended to reduce the solar radiation compared the flat plain in the summer half year. Further, the assessment of solar energy resources showed that the 3rd level of solar resources dominated in Anhui Province. The 4th level was identified in the northern slope of the Dabie and Wannan Mountains, while 2 level resource areas sporadically located in the southern slope of hilly in North Anhui. Due to the decline of percentage of sunshine, the significant decrease of global solar radiation was simulated by the method in Anhui Province in recent years.

    Based on daily maximum and minimum temperature observed by the China Meteorological Administration at 28 meteorological stations in the Huaihe River Basin from 1960 to 2012, linear trend estimation Mann-Kendall test mutations and wavelet analysis were used to analyze extreme temperature changes. Twelve indices of extreme temperature were included. The results showed that: (1) cool night, ice days and frost days displayed declining trend at rates of 4.08, 0.78 and 5.10d·10y-1(P<0.05) respectively, warm nights, summer days and tropical nights exhibited rising trend at rates of 1.87, 2.08 and 2.82d·10y-1(P<0.05), the trends for annual maximum (minimum) value of daily minimum and annual minimum value of daily maximum range were 0.34(0.62) and 1.80℃·10y-1(P<0.05), while cool days, warm days and annual maximum value of daily maximum range were not significant. (2) Spatial distribution of linear tread in extreme temperature indices in Huaihe River Basin had big differences. In general, cool days, cool nights, ice days, frost days and annual maximum (minimum) value of daily minimum were showed obviously positive (negative) trends in Middle and Lower Huaihe River Region, but the change in Upper Huaihe River Region were not obvious at all. The range of variation in warm indices in the South and East of Huaihe River Basin were more sensitive than the North and West. (3) The time points of abrupt change for cold indices were mainly concentrated in 1980s, while the time points of abrupt change for warm indices were happened around 2000. Compared with cold indices, the mutation of warm indices showed the characteristics of ductility, stability and continuity. (4) There were 4 classes time variation of cold indices when the warm indices had 3 kinds of scale. The period of cold indices was more stability than the warm indices, especially for the time scale under ten cycles.

    To minimum the error of radar rainfall evaluation, an improved Kalman filter method was presented to calibrate the radar quantitative rainfall estimation (QRE). Firstly, the G/R (rain gauge rain rate/radar rain rate) calibration factor model was established. Secondly, the prediction and measurement system of G/R was set up based on the Kalman filter (KF). The calibration process of system parameters and adaptive estimation process of system error was introduced to adjust the parameters of KF dynamically. Thirdly, the G/R calibration ratio was used to correct radar quantitative rainfall estimation. The radar and rain gauge hourly rain data of two rain cases on 2015-08-19-20 and 2016-08-06-07 from Changchun were used to test the efficiency of the proposed method. The results showed that the QRE result with KF calibration was better than that without calibration. And the average relative errors of two rain cases were reduced from 0.6047 to 0.3557 and 0.2645, from 0.8052 to 0.3096 and 0.1715 by ordinary KF and improved KF respectively. Moreover, the improved KF was even better than the ordinary KF.

    Scintillometers were used to precisely measure heat fluxes quickly at a regional scale, and the ZZLAS-type scintillometer made in China possess a wide prospect of application in China due to its accurate measurements, convenient operation and lower price. For the purpose of improving the accuracy of ZZLAS-type scintillometer measurement and promote its application in the field of heat fluxes. This paper set BLS900 as a basement, and chose ZZLAS-type scintillometer with 0.15m and 0.075m apertures for the saturation lines observations under grassland with flat and uniform surface from August to September 2014. From September to October 2014, the ZZLAS-type scintillometers with aperture of 0.15m and 0.075m were used to test the obtained saturation lines with a complex farmland surface. The results revealed that the strong saturation line was 0.359 and the weak saturation line was 0.099. With these lines, the ZZLAS-type scintillometer with 0.075m aperture showed the highest saturation rate of 24.58%. Results showed that the obtained saturation lines could be used as a reference for the saturation judgment of the ZZLAS-type scintillometer; with the lines most saturation phenomenon of the ZZLAS-type scintillometer is slightly saturated and can be corrected through mathematical methods.

    Understanding how the crop water productivity can be increased is widely accepted to be a high priority where water resources are currently scarce and/or over-exploited in China. As the primary data source, MODIS remote sensing, statistics, meteorological data, crop growth period data and ground truth-data from Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2012 were used in actual evapotranspiration estimation, yields rasterizing, and water productivity calculation for winter wheat in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain(3H Plain). The statistical data for wheat yield was synthesized to calculate district-state-level land productivity, which is then further extrapolated to pixel-level values using a MODIS NDVI image, based on a crop dominance map. Spatial variation of crop water productivity was investigated in order to reveal the key factors of crop water productivity. In addition, the relationship between water productivity and actual evapotranspiration and in subsequence yield for winter wheat was discussed in 3H Plain. The main results indicated that the SEBAL is suitable for estimating evapotranspiration in winter wheat based on the comparison with the evapotranspiration measured by Yucheng (in Shandong province). The regional average value of water productivity for winter wheat was detected to be 1.21kg·m-3, with the higher value in Beijing, Tianjin, north part of Shandong province and south part of Hebei province. The pronounced relationship of spatial correlation of the yield and water productivity for winter wheat indicated that the increasing yield governed the increment of water productivity for winter wheat in the coastal land-farming-fishing area (zone1), low plain-hydropenia irrigable land and dry land zone (zone2) and basin- irrigable land and dry land (zone5). Whereas, the increasing water productivity for winter wheat was recognized to be controlled by rather the increment of yield than the reduction of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) for winter wheat in the piedmont plain-irrigable land (zone2). Furthermore, the pronounced relationship of negative correlation of water productivity and ETa for winter wheat described that only the reduction of ETa was responsible for the increment of water productivity for winter wheat in hill-wet hot paddy-paddy field (zone6). The results is expected to provide a basis information for agricultural water management, improvements of crop water productivity and choice of adaptive mechanism under climate change in Huang-Huai-Hai plain.

    In order to provide some scientific basis for disaster relief of early rice after flood disaster in Hunan province, the biological characteristics and relief benefits of early rice of ratooning rice after flood disaster were studied by cutting panicles (20cm) in Zhuzhou country in 2016. The experiment by using the Lingliangyou 211 of hybrid early rice and Zhongzao 39 of conventional early rice as materials, and set cutting panicles as treatment at heading stage, by using the uncutting panicles as control. The results showed that the grain yield of Lingliangyou 211 with cutting panicles was 6.4% higher than that of the Zhongzao 39, the grain yield of Lingliangyou 211 with cutting panicles increased significantly (P<0.01) by 115.4% and 125.0% compared with the control, respectively. And the rice appearance quality and processing quality of cutting panicles treatments was better significantly (P<0.05) than that of the control. Ratooning rice by cutting panicles treatments appeared the crop growth rate of plant, net assimilation rate of leaves, SPAD value of leaves, net photosynthetic rate of leaves, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate of leaves were greater with cutting panicles treatments than that of the control at full heading stage, and the leaf with cutting panicles treatments showed normal discoloration at maturity stage. Meanwhile, the growth period of rice with cutting panicles treatments was shorter than that of the control. The input and output ratio of rice with cutting panicles treatment increased 117.1% and economic reduced 57.3% compared with the control. Therefore, it was had higher economic yield, lower farmers loss and significant disaster relief benefits by cutting panicles after flood disaster, which was suitable for popularization and application in Hunan province flood prone areas.

    The experiment of four treatments with low temperature and weak light on tomato was conducted in growth chamber taking “Jinfen 5” as material. The treatments included, 14/4℃ (maximum/minimum temperature, Tmax/Tmin)×400μmol·m-2·s-1 (photosynthetically active radiation, PAR), 14/4℃×200μmol·m-2·s-1, 12/2℃× 400μmol·m-2·s-1, 12/2℃×200μmol·m-2·s-1. Each treatment time was 2d, 4d, 6d, 8d, and 10d, respectively. The control (CK) was Tmax/Tmin 25/18℃, PAR 800μmol·m-2·s-1. The flowering and fruiting characteristic was recorded, and the yield and fruit quality was determined. The results showed that low temperature and weak light made the growth rate of buds and flowers delay significantly, and the stronger the stress level, the slower the growth rate. The bud number of the treatment (Tmax/Tmin 12/2℃, PAR 200μmol·m-2·s-1) was 0 during the whole treatment stage, and its flower number was the minimum, only 0.33 per plant during the whole treatment period. The number of tomato fruit showed an S curve with the time prolonged. The fruit-setting period was delayed significantly, when the treatment (Tmax/Tmin was 12/2℃, PAR was 400μmol·m-2·s-1) continued for 10 days, its fruit-setting period was delayed 10.5d than the CK. The tendency of malformed fruit increased as the degree of stress treatment. The yield and treatment time had a negative correlation. The yield reduction rate of tomato under low temperature and weak light reached more than 70% after 8 days, while there was no obvious effect on tomato yield under low temperature and weak light treatment within 2 days. Under the same temperature and the same treatment time, vitamin C, soluble solid content, and the ratio of sugar and acid decreased with the decline of PAR. Under the same PAR and treatment time, vitamin C, soluble solid content, and the ratio of sugar and acid decreased with the decline of temperature. However, the change trend of organic acid was inconsistent with vitamin C, soluble solid content, and the ratio of sugar and acid.
