Abstract:During the Dragon-boat precipitation period in 2022 (from May 21 to June 21), the average precipitation in South China is 472.5 mm, which is the second largest in the same period in history, it is the third largest in Guangdong,Guangxi is the largest in the same period since there are meteorological records history in 1951. Under its influence, River basin flood occurs in the Pearl River basin, and catastrophic floods occurs in the Beijiang River basin. Using the daily precipitation data of 192 national meteorological observation stations in South China, NCEP/NCAR atmospheric circulation,atmospheric outward long wave radiation(OLR) data and NOAA monthly scale SST reanalysis data, the characteristics of South China Dragon-boat precipitation anomaly in 2022 and its relationship with atmospheric circulation and sea surface temperature are studied by using correlation and composite analysis methods. The results show that the East Asia Trough and the Northeast Cold Vortex are significantly strengthened, the cold air affecting South China is strong. The Western Pacific Subtropical High and the South Branch Trough are both relatively strong, and there is significant water vapor convergence in South China during the Dragon-boat precipitation period in 2022. The atmospheric response to the La Nina event is obvious in 2022, and the Walker circulation is enhanced. The convection in South China strengthened obviously. An abnormal anticyclone circulation was in the east of the Philippines. The Western Pacific Subtropical High becomes stronger, the southwest wind on its northwest side is stronger. Water vapor transmission to South China has increased significantly, Water vapor transmission to South China increased significantly. the significant enhancement of water vapor transport to South China. A significant upward movement at the same time in South China. The abnormality of atmospheric circulation and SST lead to the extreme Dragon-boat precipitation in South China in 2022.
