“…Yuan et al (2010) showed that the rainfall in the monsoon rain belt of central eastern China is dominated by the long-duration rainfall events (>7 h) with earlymorning peaks. Li et al (2008) made a detailed analysis of the climatic characteristics and secular trends of diurnal variations of summer precipitation in Beijing area. They showed the relatively high values of rainfall amount and rainfall frequency from late afternoon to early morning, and two separate peaks in the late afternoon and early morning.…”

“…However, Li et al (2008), Yin et al (2011) and Wu et al (2000) only used summer hourly rainfall data from less than 20 stations in their analyses of Beijing area, and this made it difficult to learn the detailed spatial structure of the diurnal variation of summer rainfall. In fact, spatially sufficient observations of hourly precipitation with enough length of records are extremely important for analyzing the characteristics of regional and local precipitation.…”

ABSTRACT:On basis of quality-control of hourly rainfall dataset of Automatic Weather Stations (AWSs) for the last 4 years (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010), the spatial and diurnal characteristics of summer rainfall in Beijing Municipality (BJM) is analyzed. Results show that the short-duration heavy rainfall events dominate summer rainfall in the study area. Rainfall events with 1-3 h duration make a large contribution to both frequency and amount of summer rainfall, and the total rainfall amount in summer fall almost in the events with duration less than 6 h. Two peaks in diurnal variation of rainfall event frequency are evident, with one in early morning and another in later evening, but only one peak in later evening occurs for diurnal variation of rainfall amount. The exact timing and magnitudes of the peaks vary from one station to another probably due to the influence of the complicated terrains and geographical conditions. Except for the southeast area of the BJM, however, the highest frequency of rainfall events always occurs in evening between 1900 and 2300 (Local Standard Time, or LST), almost consistent to the occurrence time of the maximum rainfall amount. The peak of rainfall event frequency over the southeast area is generally in early morning (0300-0500 LST) which might have been related to the combined influences from land-sea breeze and urbanization.

“…However, the precipitation variation demonstrates some deviation due to the differences in advance and retreat time, strength, and influence scope of WPSH. Recently, a significant research effort has been devoted to the spatial-temporal variation of precipitation in the Beijing area and its response to the EASM and the WPSH [30][31][32][33][34]. The inter-annual and inter-decadal variations of precipitation in the Beijing area are apparent.…”

Wavelet analysis methods (CWT, XWT, WTC) were employed to evaluate the impact of dominant climatic driving factors on summer precipitation in the Beijing area based on monthly precipitation data of Beijing ranging from 1880 to 2014. The two climatic driving factors, i.e., the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and the Northern Limit of Western Pacific Subtropical High (NWPSH) were considered in particular. The relationships between summer precipitation and EASM/NWPSH were also examined. The results revealed similar periods in low-frequency oscillation (76-95 years) and mid-range frequency oscillation (32-60 years) for the summer precipitation in the Beijing area and EASM/NWPSH. The summer precipitation correlated positively with the NWPSH and EASM, especially for periods of 43 years and 33 years, respectively. This indicates that summer precipitation during 1880-1960 and during the years after 1960 was significantly affected by NWPSH and EASM, respectively. Based on the periodic change of 33 years for both summer precipitation and EASM, heavy precipitation can be expected to occur again in Beijing at approximately 2026. Understanding the relationships between summer precipitation and climatic factors is of significant importance for precipitation predictions and water resource variations in the Beijing area.
