Spatial and temporal characteristics of four main types of meteorological disasters in East China

Abstract: Se analizó la distribución espacial y la variación interanual del número de registros, así como el monto de los impactos o pérdidas causadas por cuatro tipos de desastres meteorológicos (inundaciones inducidas por tormentas, inundaciones, daños provocados por altas y bajas temperaturas y olas de calor) en 637 condados del este de China, con base en los datos censuales de dichos desastres. Los resultados indican que los desastres inducidos por tormentas tuvieron el número más alto de registros y la mayor cantid… Show more

“…Its complex geographical environment and monsoon climate have led to the uneven spatial distribution of meteorological disasters in China and regional differences in the impact of their impacts [11], such as typhoon disasters in southeastern China [12], heat waves in many parts of northern and southern China [13,14], flood disasters in the Yangtze River Basin and the Pearl River basin, sandstorms in north China [15], and meteorological droughts in southwestern China, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Heilongjiang Province. In addition, China also has several meteorological disasters such as low-temperature freezing disasters for agriculture [16,17], geological disasters caused by rainstorm [18]. Given the diversity and severity of meteorological disasters in China, it is imperative to strengthen disaster prevention, mitigation, and response capabilities at both the national and regional levels.…”

“…With the ongoing effects of global warming, the TC disasters that China faces are on the rise [4,5]. According to statistics reported by Lei et al (2009) and Lei (2020), the direct economic losses due to TC-induced rainstorms, strong winds and storm surges each year account for about 0.4% of China's GDP, and the casualties are about 9000 people (with more than 500 deaths) [6,7], representing about 13% and 21% of China's meteorological disaster economic and human losses, respectively [8][9][10]. Therefore, improving the TC rainfall operational forecasting capabilities is of great significance for improving the monitoring and early warning system and enhancing the disaster-resilience capabilities.…”
