“…As the northward‐moving tropical system and the Northeast China cold vortex combine, rainstorms tend to occur (Zhao & Sun, 2007). These atmospheric circulation factors work together to affect summer precipitation, especially heavy precipitation (Fang et al, 2017; Xu & Qi, 2022), which can lead to various precipitation patterns. Clustering the heavy precipitation in Northeast China with similar spatial distributions can be used to effectively investigate the mechanisms of the leading patterns of heavy precipitation in Northeast China.…”

This study classifies the spatial distribution of heavy precipitation in summer (June–August) from 1979 to 2021 in the three provinces of Northeast China (TPNC) into two patterns by using the self‐organizing maps (SOM) neural network, and then quantitatively analyzes their moisture transport channels and sources using the Lagrangian model. The results show that the summer heavy precipitation in TPNC can be divided into the northern and southern patterns according to the distribution of the heavy precipitation. Both patterns of heavy precipitation are affected by the low‐level vortex west of TPNC, but the strength and shape of the low vortex are different. The northern pattern is mainly influenced by the westerly flow in the vortex in the mid‐high latitudes, which transports moisture from the upstream westerly region into TPNC. The southern pattern is mainly affected by the southerly jet stream southeast of TPNC, which conveys a large amount of moisture from the East Asian summer monsoon region into TPNC. In terms of the summer climatological mean, the northern pattern has a higher precipitation recycling rate, while the southern pattern has a lower recycling rate.
