ABSTRACT: In China, meteorological forecasting relies on meteorological data obtained from regional and
national stations. However, there were discrepancies between the data collected
from the meteorological station at the passion fruit growing base and the data
from regional and national stations. Consequently, the high and low temperature
disaster indicators determined by the meteorological station at the passion
fruit growing base cannot be applied to meteorological forecasting. To address
this issue and facilitate the monitoring and early warning
of high and low temperature disasters in passion fruit cultivation in
Fujian, China, we used multi-source hourly temperature data (including the data
from meteorological observation stations in passion fruit growing bases, the
nearest regional stations, and national surface conventional meteorological
observation stations) in three cities in southwestern Fujian (Longyan, Sanming,
and Zhangzhou) spanning the years 2020 to 2022. By employing comprehensive
statistical analysis methods (0.5 interval division and Cumulative frequency),
we identified that passion fruit in southwestern Fujian was susceptible to high
temperature disasters during the blooming-fruiting period, as well as low temperature disasters during the
sprouting period. Consequently, we developed high and low temperature disaster
indicators based on data from regional and national
stations for different phenological periods of passion fruit in this
region.
