Characteristics of Winter Temperature Distribution in China

The distribution characteristics of winter temperature in China are as follows:

1, large temperature difference between north and south: China has a large temperature difference between north and south in winter. The temperature is generally low in the north and relatively high in the south. This temperature difference is mainly caused by the differences in geographical location and climatic conditions between north and south of China.

2. The temperature difference in the eastern region is small: in the eastern region of China, the temperature difference in winter is relatively small. This is mainly because the terrain and climate conditions in the eastern region are similar, and the cities and population are relatively dense, thus affecting the distribution of temperature.

3. Low temperature in the western plateau: In the western plateau of China, the temperature is usually low in winter. These areas mainly include the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau. Due to the special terrain and climatic conditions in these areas, cold weather usually occurs in winter.

4. Frequent extreme weather events: In winter, some extreme weather events often occur in China, such as snowstorms and cold waves. These extreme weather events will have certain impact on people's production and life.

Influencing factors of winter temperature distribution in China;

1. Latitude factor: There is a big difference between the north and south latitudes in China. The higher the latitude, the lower the temperature. Therefore, the temperature in the north is generally low in winter, while the temperature in the south is relatively warm.

2. Topographic factors: China's topography is complex, and plateaus, mountains and other landforms have an impact on the temperature distribution. For example, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has high altitude and low temperature. In mountainous areas, the temperature varies greatly due to the ups and downs of the terrain.

3. Ocean influence: The eastern part of China is greatly influenced by the ocean. In winter, the temperature in coastal areas is relatively stable due to the regulation of temperature by the ocean.

4. Atmospheric circulation: The formation of Asian high (Siberian high) in winter makes cold air move southward, which has an impact on the temperature distribution in China. At the same time, the western Pacific subtropical high will also have an impact on the temperature distribution.

5. Climate change: Global warming has also affected the distribution of winter temperature in China. In recent years, the winter temperature in China is on the rise, which will have a far-reaching impact on agricultural production, ecological environment and human life.
