Abstract
Under the background of global climate change, the relationship of the construction of large reservoirs and the regional climate change became one of the hot research topics. Some researchers put forward the theory that the large reservoirs possibly emit considerable green house air, which might affect the regional climate. Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) is one of large reservoirs in China, and its impacts on local climate are studied in this paper. The large scale long time series of hydrological and meteorological data in 1961~2008 is used to analyze the trend of the air temperature, precipitation, evaporation rate, rainstorm days, fog days, et. all in Yangtze River Basin and TGR area before and after the impoundment of TGR. The paper reveals that the consistency and specificity of the climate evolution in regional scale and country scale. In addition, the internal driving forces for the regional ecological environmental evolution are discussed.
