A review of studies on climate change of summer precipitation in the Jianghuai region

In this paper, the climate change of precipitation in summer around Jianghuai region is reviewed and prospected. Firstly, the north-south movement of summer precipitation in the east of continental China was reviewed. Then, the research achievements on the cli-mate change of precipitation in eastern China, the climate change of Jianghuai Meiyu together with summer extreme precipitation, the cli-mate change of convective and stratiform precipitation in eastern China were presented. Subsequently, the mechanism of the climate change on summer precipitation in Jianghuai was summarized. At last, the paper points out that the research in five aspects should be strengthened in the future, that is, the comprehensive mechanism, the synoptic science, the actions of atmospheric pollution, and cloud physics as well as observation technology and methods of precipitation climate change in Jianghuai.
