Title: A possible cause for interdecadal variations of summer precipitation along Guangdong coast
Abstract: No-rainfall days were used to separate the steady rainfall from occasional ones,and coefficient analysis was adopted to explore the effects of the sea surface temperature(SST) of the South China Sea on the summer precipitation,and the results indicate that the South China Sea SST anomalies(SSTA) affect the rainfalls in Guangdong coast and the relationship of them have made interdecadal changes in 1970s.Moreover,at different interdecadal phase,both of the sensitive sea areas of the South China Sea SST on summer rainfall were very close to Guangdong Province.Local air-sea interactions play important role in short range climate prediction for the summer precipitation in Guangdong coast.
