Abstract In summer 2014, Eastern China suffered a typical “southern flood and northern
drought” anomalous climate. Observational analyses indicated that the anomalous vertical …

The spatial distribution of summer precipitation anomalies over eastern China often shows a
dipole pattern, with anti-phased precipitation anomalies between southern China and …

Abstract In 2022, South China suffered severe flooding due to unexpected persistent heavy
rainfall in the pre-flood season. The in situ cumulative precipitation amount during May …

The characteristics of droughts and floods in China during the summers (May–August) of
2016 and 1998 were compared in great detail, together with the associated atmospheric …

A severe persistent drought occurred in South China during autumn–winter 2020/2021,
causing enormous economic losses and severe water shortage in South China. Focusing on …

The rainy season typically terminates over the area of central northern China (CNC) in late
August with the rapid retreat of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). However, the CNC …

An extreme drought appeared in South China from October 2020 to March 2021. During that
time, sea surface temperatures exhibited an unprecedented warm center over the northwest …

Eastern China (EC) suffered an extreme drought with long-lasting duration and record-
breaking intensity in late summer–autumn 2019. Our diagnosed results show that the central …

Abstract By using Season-reliant Empirical Orthogonal Function (S-EOF) analysis, three
dominant modes of the spatial-temporal evolution of the drought/flood patterns in the rainy …

An extreme drought occurred over Southeast China (SEC) in August 2019. We demonstrate
synergistic effects of midlatitude and tropical circulation on this extreme event and highlight …
