Abstract:In the spring of 2016, the mean temperature of China was above normal, being the second highest in the historical record. The average precipitation amount was also above normal, recorded as the third highest in history. With the influence of the “positivenegativepositive” baroclinic wavetrain in the midhigh latitude of EuroAsia Continent, the northwest of China was controlled by the upper trough, while the northeast was dominated by the circulation of lowlevel convergence and highlevel divergence, which is in favor of more precipitation in these two regions. Moreover, under the influence of El Ni〖AKn~D〗o, the anticyclone anomalous circulation prevailed in the IndianWest Pacific Ocean, bringing plenty of water vapor to the Southern China, and leading to more precipitation there.
