The synoptic drivers of extreme rainfall in South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
A number of studies have shown an increase in the intensity of extreme rainfall over many regions of South Africa during the last 50 to 100 years. However, the weather of a region at any given time is a direct function of the synoptic state of the ...

Morphological Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Systems Formed in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Basin and Their Evolution Patterns

Atmospheric Science Letters
Based on the extent and eccentricity characteristics, mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) formed in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Basin were classified into six subtypes: large circular (LC), large elongated (LE), medium circular (MC), medium ...

The Contribution of Extreme Precipitation to the Total Precipitation in China [PDF]

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2012
AbstractUsing daily precipitation data from weather stations in China, the variations in the contribution of extreme precipitation to the total precipitation are analyzed. It is found that extreme precipitation accounts for approximately one third of the total precipitation based on the overall mean for China.
