Spatiotemporal Variability and Change of the South China Spring Precipitation during 1961–2012 by Hong-Lan Liu, Qiang Zhang, Jun-Qin Guo, Jun-Guo Zhang, Sheng Wang

“…Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and rotated EOF (REOF) are used to reveal dominant spatial structures of precipitation anomaly and Mann-Kendall testing method to determine the temporal locations of abrupt changes during the analyzed time span. We find that the first spatial mode of the spring precipitation of the South China has a domain uniform structure; the second is dominated by a spatial dipole; and the third contains six variability centers. 1980s was the decade of the largest amount of precipitation while 1960s the decade of the smallest amount of precipitation. …”
