Abstract:Shenyang locates in the sensitive region of global change. In past o ne hundred years, Shenyang temperature kept rising gradually by 1.7 Celsius degr ees. This trend is more obvious in winter than in summer. Annual average tempera ture of Shenyang has a 12-years cycle, and temperature basically presents ladder form rise in every cycle. The cycle average temperature in winter of the end of 20th century rose about 2.8 Celsius degrees than that of the beginning of the c entury. According to variation tendency of the extreme temperature of the past 5 0 years, the minimum extreme temperature obviously rose; the maximum extreme tem perature has not risen, but slightly dropped, so that the temperature difference reduced between winter and summer. The fact, the lowest average temperature and the highest average temperature of Shenyang both rise gradually with time, prov es that not only the rise of minimum temperature leads to the increasing war m of Shenyang, but also the rise of maximum temperature is also important. Analysis o f the winter circulation situation shows that: East Asia Trough, the weak ridge behind it, and Mongolian Ground High subsided obviously after the 80s of last ce ntury, and the cold air current passed Shenyang from the north is weakened conse quently. This is one of reasons why Shenyang temperature is obviously increas ing in winter.
