Variation Diagnosis of Maximum Precipitation in Jiangxi Province in 60 Years by WU Shaofei, WANG Qi, HUANG Binbin, JU Xiang, XU Changbao, HE Miao

“…Hourly precipitation data of 91 meteorological stations in Jiangxi Province during 1954—2012 were selected to analyze the variation of maximum precipitation in consecutive 1 h,3 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h using hydrologic variation diagnostic system (HDMS) .Firstly,in the detailed diagnosis,linear trend,Kendall and Spearman methods were used for trend test,and M-K,cumulative anomaly,ordered clustering,sliding F,sliding rank sum and other test methods were adopted for jump diagnosis.Secondly,the efficiency coefficient R² was employed to determine the final diagnosis results and conduct the spatio-temporal analysis.Finally,the spatial characteristics of the occurrence frequency of maximum precipitation greater than or equal to 16 mm,30 mm and 50 mm were analyzed.The results show the followings:① The spatial distribution characteristics of maximum precipitation in Max1 h,Max3 h,Max6 h,Max12 h and Max24 h were similar in Jiangxi Province.With the increase in duration,most stations with variations witnessed a jumping increase.Those with significant variations were more in the northern plain than in the southern mountain area,namely that the spatial distribution was dense in the north and sparse in the south.② The degree of precipitation series variation was positively and negatively correlated with elevation in the southern mountain area and the northern plain area,respectively.Studies have shown that atmospheric circulation indexes AO (Arctic oscillation),NAO (North Atlantic oscillation) and PNA (Pacific-North American oscillation) had negative,positive and negative correlations with precipitation at stations in the study area,respectively.Therefore,the atmospheric circulation indexes have correlations with the change of precipitation series in Jiangxi Province,which are one of the causes of the maximum precipitation variation in the period.③ The frequency of regional rainstorms gradually decreased with the increase in duration,and rainstorm events in the northern plain area were less than those in other mountain areas due to the influence of topographic factors.Through the analysis of hourly precipitation data of many years in Jiangxi Province,this paper is expected to provide some reference for short-term rainstorm forecast and flood warning.…”

Spatiotemporal Changes of Extreme Precipitation and Its Teleconnection Analysis with Climate Circulation Indices in Three Gorges Reservoir Area in Recent 60 Years by ZENG Huiqi, TENG Shunlin, SHAO Meng, ZHANG Lu, WANG Yuefeng

“…Analyzing the correlation between large-scale climate circulation and extreme precipitation is of great significance for regional flood and drought warnings and extreme weather management.Previous studies have well revealed the influence of a single climate circulation index,while the influence characteristics of multiple climate circulation indices are still unclear.According to the daily precipitation in 21 meteorological stations in Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) from 1960 to 2019,eight extreme precipitation indices (CDD,CWD,R10,R20,Rx1d,Rx5d,R95p,and R99p) were constructed in terms of precipitation duration and absoluteness,and Mann-Kendall (M-K) trend test,Spearman correlation analysis,and multiple linear regression (MLR) were used to analyze the spatiotemporal changes during extreme precipitation in the TGRA.Then the correlation between extreme precipitation and climate circulation was revealed in terms of single and multiple factors.The results showed that:①The R10,R20,Rx1d,Rx5d,R95p,and R99p in the TGRA spatially decreased from northwest to southeast from 1960 to 2019,which was similar to the spatial trend of multi-year average precipitation;②the CWD,CDD,R10,and Rx5d generally decreased,while R20,Rx1d,R95p,and R99p increased.The duration of continuous precipitation events in the TGRA shortened,but the frequency and intensity of short-term strong precipitation events increased;③in terms of teleconnection analysis of extreme precipitation and climate circulation index,the multiple factor regression analysis could better explain the extreme precipitation index than the single factor regression analysis.Specifically,the combination of the East Asian Summer Monsoon Index (EASMI) and the South Asian Summer Monsoon Index (SASMI) had the best performance in explaining the extreme precipitation index.This study can provide a scientific basis for coping with extreme climate change and weather disaster prediction and warning in the TGRA.…”
