Climate Changing on Landscape Environment in Kunming in Recent 60 Years
Abstract：By analyzing the climate records of Kunming from 1957 to 2007, Kunming＇s average temperature has been found to be increasing in recent 60 years. The key problem lies in the temperature rise in recent ten or more years by 0.4℃/10a and the annual range decrease at the same time, represented as the elevation of the lowest temperature and increasingly warmer winter in Kunming. With the warming climate, the precipitation has suffered a prominent fall, by 18.05mm/a in the past 14 years. The relative humidity is in direct proportion to the precipitation, which explains the less of water and drier climate in Kunming city. The decrease rate of the sunshine hour is around 107h/10a, caused mainly by the fast urbanization of Kunming. With ＂One increase and three decreases＂ of the four key climate indexes changes in Kunming city in the past 60 years, this paper aims to provide corresponding landscape construction countermeasures to the annual average temperature increase, precipitation decrease and climate change in Kunming city.
