Abstract: Subseasonal characteristics of the diurnal variation of the summer monsoon rainfall over central eastern China (25°?40°N, 110°?120°E) are analyzed using hourly station rain gauge data. Results show that the rainfall in the ...

Abstract: Hourly observational records and 6-hourly reanalysis data were used to investigate the influences of large-scale forcings on the diurnal variation of summer rainfall along the Yangtze River (YR). The results show that ...

Abstract: Using hourly station rain gauge data during 1966?2005, the authors studied changes in the characteristics of the late-summer (July?August) rainfall, which has exhibited a so-called southern flooding and northern drought ...

Abstract: iven the large discrepancies that exist in climate models for shortwave cloud forcing over eastern China (EC), the dynamic (vertical motion and horizontal circulation) and thermodynamic (stability) relations of stratus ...

Abstract: ased on daily rainfall observations and Japanese 25-year Reanalysis Project data during ~1981?2010, a three-dimensional circulation structure that formed before heavy summer rainfall in central north China (CNC) is revealed ...

Abstract: uration is a key feature of rainfall events that is closely related to rainfall mechanisms and influences. This study analyzes the decadal change in the duration-related characteristics of late-summer (July?August) ...

Abstract: sing hourly rain gauge records and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission 3B42 from 1998 to 2006, the authors present an analysis of the diurnal characteristics of summer rainfall over subtropical East Asia. The study shows ...

Abstract: he simulations of summertime diurnal cycle of precipitation and low-level winds by the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5, are evaluated over subtropical East Asia. The evaluation reveals the physical cause of the ...
