摘要
Based on the method of rotated principal component (RPC) analysis and wavelet transforms, the winter precipitation from 36 stations over China for the period 1881-1993 is examined. The results show that the three leading space-time modes correspond, in sequence, to winter rainfall anomalies over the reaches of the Yangtze River, the bend of the Yellow River, and the northeastern region of China. The three modes exhibit interannual oscillations with quasi-biennial and 8-year periods as well as interdecadal oscillations with 16- and 32-year periods. The interannual oscillation (< 10 years) occurs in phase over the different areas, and its maximum amplitude migrates northward considerably with prominent interdecadal variations. However, the interdecadal oscillations (10-32 years) are out of phase over the different regions, and the amplitude variations have the characteristics of stationary waves.
