“…The above results have shown considerable regional differences for the precipitation trends. We related precipitation to other climate variables 25 26 to study the possible linkage between precipitation and climate variables. Here we firstly explored the trends of summer mean precipitable water (PW, see Methods) and water vapor transport (WVT, see Methods), presented in Fig.…”

Many studies have reported on the trends of precipitation in Mid-Eastern China (EC). However, the trends of convective and stratiform precipitation are still unknown. Here, we examine the trends of summer convective and stratiform precipitation in EC from 2002 to 2012 on the basis of the TRMM observations. Results revealed that the rain frequency (RF) for both convective and stratiform precipitation increased in majority regions of Southern EC (SEC), but decreased in Northwest part of Northern EC (NEC). The decreasing rate of RF for stratiform precipitation in NEC is twice as much as that for convective precipitation, while the increase of convective precipitation in SEC is more evident than stratiform precipitation. The rain rate (RR) exhibited a decreasing trend in most portions of EC for both convective and stratiform precipitation. In SEC, neither PW nor WVT has good ability in explaining the precipitation variability. However, in NEC, PW is closely correlated to convective RF and WVT is more closely related to stratiform RF.

“…The atmospheric flow with rainfall over China is significantly influenced by the East Asian summer monsoon (Li et al, ; Lu et al, ; Yang, Wang, et al, ). At the same time, China has undergone rapid economic growth with unfavorable meteorological conditions in recent decades, which has led to large emissions of aerosol and carbon dioxide (J. P. Guo et al, , ; Li et al, ; X. Y. Zhang et al, ; Yang, Wang, et al, , Yang, Zheng, et al, ), and thus these in turn induces rapid increases in temperature and inevitably changes the atmospheric water vapor due to the regional water vapor feedback effects resulting from climatic changes (Pan et al, ; Takahashi et al, ).…”

The accuracy of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) water vapor product in China is as yet unknown due to the lack of collocated in situ sounding observations. Based on high‐resolution soundings at 1400 Beijing time from 113 radiosonde sites across China, along with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS) data sets, a preliminary assessment has been conducted of AIRS water vapor mixing ratio (q) and precipitable water vapor (PWV) products in June 2013 and June 2014. Comparison between AIRS and radiosonde data suggests that the correlation coefficient (R) and mean bias of these two q products in China exhibit a distinct geographical dependence (with the highest R values in northwest China). This suggests that the AIRS q product tends to be underestimated in southeast China where cloud cover prevails, but overestimated in northwest China where cloud cover is sparse. With regard to the height‐resolved distribution, the q products from both AIRS and radiosondes tend to decrease with increasing altitude, irrespective of the particular region. The spatial distribution of AIRS PWV is consistent with that from radiosonde‐derived PWV, except in south China where the AIRS PWV data set is considerably underestimated. The accuracy of the AIRS water vapor product tends to be impaired under highly cloudy conditions, corroborating the notion of clouds affecting the retrieval of AIRS PWV. Our findings highlight the importance of afternoon sounding measurements in validating AIRS data and call for the improved understanding of the role of water vapor in the context of global climate change.

“…Monsoon precipitation is the major driver of agricultural productivity in many tropical and subtropical regions in the world, and its variability influences the livelihood of a large share of the world's population (Parthasarathy et al 1994). Recent changes of monsoon and monsoon precipitation have been intensively examined on the global scale (Pang-chi and Hsu 2011;Wang et al 2012) and regional scales, e.g., South Asia (Bollasina et al 2011;Turner and Annamalai 2012;Misra and DiNapoli 2014;Shahi et al 2018), and East Asia (Chan and Zhou 2005;Kajikawa and Wang 2012;Lu et al 2016;Huang et al 2018). These studies are conducted on large scales and provide valuable results and conclusions.…”

Monsoon precipitation is the major driver of agricultural productivity in the Myanmar Coast, it is crucial to quantify and understand recent changes in precipitation during the monsoon season over this region. By using multiple precipitation datasets, we demonstrate that total precipitation during monsoon season over the Myanmar Coast has increased slightly but not significantly, but precipitation during the onset and withdrawal phases of monsoon season exhibit a significant increasing trend during 1979-2015, and the contribution of precipitation during the two phases to total monsoon precipitation has increased significantly. The increased precipitation during the onset phase over the Myanmar Coast directly results from the earlier onset of the South Asian Summer Monsoon in recent decades, which is associated with the phase transition of the Inter-decadal Pacific Oscillation in the late 1990s. And the precipitation increase during the withdrawal phase is directly due to the enhances of the ascending motion and convection around this region, which is dynamically correlated to the anomalous cyclone-like circulation around the Bay of Bengal as well as the strengthening of the cross-equatorial flow around the equatorial Indian Ocean.
