Introduction method for tropical cyclone disaster evaluation [8-12] In China, the rubber plantation is mainly by both domestic and overseas scholars . distributed in Hainan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Research has been made into the grading of Guangxi and Fujian Province. Among them, hazard level of cyclone disaster. The objective Hainan is one of the main natural rubber analysis method is used for quantitatively production bases of China, its rubber planting evaluating the concrete data of disaster losses, area reaching 7.3559 million mu in 2010. Hainan and the statistical analysis and evaluation is rubber plantation belongs to the tropical performed over the tropical cyclone disaster north-edge island type, and is susceptible to the mainly in light of the disaster-inducing factors [13-15] tropical cyclone[1-2]. The wind damage resulting such as strong wind and rainstorm . Tropical from the tropical cyclone is the most tremendous cyclone (especially the resulting strong wind) is natural disaster facing rubber industry in Hainan a complicated problem when it comes to the industry. evaluation of the impact evaluation on rubber. Yang Shaoqiong[3] et al. analyzed the The impact factors not only include the intensity of tropical cyclone itself, but also other factors 基金项目：国家自然科学基金(41465005, like cyclone route, landing location, underlying 41265007); 海南省气象局青年基金 surface topography and the rubber cultivation (HNQXQN201501) condition. Moreover, there is no truly universal © Atlantis Press, 2016 251 2016RA0312.indd 251 29/09/16 2:09 PM Risk Analysis and Crisis Response in Big Data Era (RAC-16) model for the evaluation of the impact of wind and slope positions lead to great variation of damage on rubber. wind damage. Therefore, the effect of In this research, Hainan Island, the area topography must be fully considered in the frequently attacked by wind damage, is chosen evaluation of wind damage of rubber plantation. to carry out the typical research. The data from According to analysis of massive research data, advanced surface weather observation network the influence of topographic factor on the wind are used to obtain the encrypted weather data, damage is generally mastered. Four main factors, playing a guiding and demonstrating role for the namely, slope surface, slope position, slope and rubber plantation of other regions. By publishing special topography are selected, and the model is the wind damage information of rubber, the constructed to obtain the topographic governments and the relevant departments can comprehensive index of rubber. quickly and macroscopically obtain the damage (2) Rubber factor area and the degree of Hainan rubber to Rubber factor is a combination of a series formulate the scientific and reasonable of indexes correlated to the physiological and emergence plan and preventive measures. Such ecological characteristics of rubber. It can be information is important for achieving the goal expressed as rubber comprehensive index. The of disaster preventing and control as well as high higher the index, the higher the vulnerability is, and stable production, and enhancing the and the more severe the wind damage is. robustness of rubber industry to the tropical According to the investigation and the research cyclone disaster. result of disaster caused by typhoon Damrey to rubber, several indexes related to the wind 2. Data Sources resistance of rubber, such as species, planting In this research, the historical weather data mode, planting density, shaping and pruning are and disaster data of typhoon from 1950-2010 are selected. Because the wind damage to different obtained from Hainan weather station; GDP data plant materials is not significantly different, this of Hainan are obtained from Hainan Yearbook effect is not considered. The integrity degree of 1980~2010. In this research, basic geographic the shelterbelt plays an important role in information data like Hainan 1:50 000 reducing the rubber wind damage, so it is listed topographical map and Hainan 1:50000 digital as one of the rubber factors. evaluation model (DEM) are from Hainan (3) Weather factor Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. The wind damage of rubber plantation is mainly resulted from the strong wind and the 3. Establishment of the Evaluation Model rainstorm caused by tropical cyclone. According to the large-scale statistical analysis of Hainan 3.1 Selection of the involved factors rubber damage data that have been collected and According to this research, the evaluation sorted, the synergistic effect of rainfall is factors are determined as topographical factor, considered to establish the weather rubber factor and the weather factor. comprehensive index. (1) Topographical factor Weather comprehensive index = Wm Wa TR . It can be found in this research that due to the redistribution effect on the wind power by Where Wm is the maximum wind velocity, Wa is terrain and topography, a diversity of the average wind velocity, TR is the total rainfall topographies and landform conditions, such as and 、、 represent the weight coefficients of canyon, bellmouth, mountain trough line, slope these three factors, respectively. As rainfall and 252 2016RA0312.indd 252 29/09/16 2:09 PM Risk Analysis and Crisis Response in Big Data Era (RAC-16) wind data usually come from limited observation correlation function of wind damage evaluation of weather stations, the spatial distribution can is established, and the weight coefficient is be influenced by many kinds of topographic determined with the principal component factors. The position of weather stations and its analysis in accordance with the historical density are restrained by the topographic disaster data of rubber plantation. The condition as well. So interpolation will be classification is determined by calculating the performed to formulate the continuous correlation degree. Finally, the evaluation result distribution information. of the rubber plantation wind damage is presented by GIS visualization representation. 3.2 Wind damage grading standard of rubber plantation 4.
