Characteristics of the Circulation during the Catastrophic Flood Period over China in 1998
Abstract The Characteristics of the general atmospheric circulation during the catastrophic flood period over Yangtze River valley in 1998 are discussed. There are two patterns of precipitation distribution: a pattern of floodwater over the Yangtze valley and precipitation more than normal in the wh...
