Meteorological records extracted from three ancient Chinese chronicles are presented. These records cover a time span from 2187 B.C. to 3 A.D. Some interesting climatological variations are noted.
Abstract. An analysis of winter thunder records in China from 250 B.C. to A.D. 1900 shows that there is a relationship between the pattern of winter thunder frequency fluctuation with that of temperature fluctuation. We hypothesized that such a temperature-thunder relationship may possibly be due to the strong frontal movement by cold air masses of well-defined low temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
