Evolution Characteristics of Annual Precipitation and Intra-Annual Allocation in Guangdong Province from 1958 to 2023 by YANG Jun, XU Jinghua, LIU Changhui

“…Characteristics of precipitation and its intra-annual allocation are the key factors triggering regional floods, and clarifying the spatial and temporal variations of precipitation concentration can provide a theoretical basis for regional flood control planning and water resources management. In order to analyze the evolution characteristics of annual precipitation and its intra-annual allocation in Guangdong Province, the daily precipitation data from National Meteorological Stations in Guangdong Province from 1958 to 2023 were used, and the distribution characteristics of precipitation concentration in Guangdong Province were quantitatively characterized based on the annual concentration index (ACI) formula. …”
