Title: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRECIPITATION IN THE RAINY SEASON IN NORTH CHINA AND THE TROPICAL WESTERN PACIFIC WARM POOL AND KUROSHIO
Abstract: Based on the monthly precipitation of 18 stations in North China from 1951 to 1996,the climatic province of precipitation in North China is divided by using the comparative analysis method. The relations between the precipitation in the rainy season in North China and the heat content of the tropical Western Pacific Warm Pool and the winter heat transport of Kuroshio are discussed. The results show that the North China area can be divided into two climatic provinces of precipitation (for short,Region Ⅰ and Ⅱ); the precipitation in the rainy season in Region Ⅰ is closely related to the heat content in the western part of the Warm Pool,especially a better negative relation between the precipitation and the heat content in October of the preceding year,but there is also a close relation between the precipitation in the rainy season in Region Ⅱ and the winter heat transport of Kuroshio in the same year. The preliminary analysis shows that the precipitation in the rainy season in North China is related with the tropical Western Pacific Warm Pool and Kuroshio which is possibly linked through the variation of the Western Pacific Subtropical High.
