Abstract:

Based on the data of 61 national surface meteorological observation stations in Liaoning province from 1961 to 2020, the characteristics and long-term trend of meteorological conditions suitable for ski resort construction and ski sports were analyzed.The results showed that the annual number of freezing days (with a daily maximum air temperature of less than 0 ℃) in the central, northern and eastern parts of Liaoning province is more than 60 d, which meets the temperature standard for the construction of high-level ski resorts.The annual average snowfall in the central and eastern parts of Liaoning province exceeds 20 mm, and the snow depth exceeds 10 cm, which is the most suitable area for the construction of ski resorts in Liaoning province.Through comprehensive analysis of meteorological factors that have the most significant impacts on skiing, such as wind force, temperature, and snowfall days, it is found that the number of days with a ski meteorological index above level 2 is the highest in the central and eastern regions of Liaoning province, exceeding 120 d.These areas are the most suitable areas for skiing sports in Liaoning province.Among them, the Fushun area has great advantages in the development of skiing events, which is conducive to hosting the snow events of the National Winter Games.The long-term trends of skiing meteorological conditions show that the number of freezing days has decreased significantly, the annual snowfall and annual maximum snow depth have slightly decreased, and the most suitable areas for ski resorts have decreased.While the number of days with a skiing meteorological index above level 2 has increased 12.2 d, the area suitable for skiing is expanding westward, and the meteorological conditions are more conducive to the development of skiing.Meteorological indicators related to temperature and wind speed are the main factors for the long-term trend of skiing meteorological conditions.Meanwhile, the central and eastern regions of Liaoning province have favorable meteorological conditions and have advantages in terrain, economy, transportation, etc., which will provide a good foundation for the development of high-quality ice and snow sports, and cultural tourism industries.
