Some features associated with Eastern China Precipitation (ECP), in terms of mean climatology, seasonal cycle, interannual variability are studied based on monthly rainfall data. The rainfall behavior over Eastern China has fine spatial structure in the seasonal variation and interannual variability. The revealed characteristics of ECP motivate us dividing Eastern China into four sub-regions to quantify significant lag-correlations of the rainfalls with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and to study t...
