Non-uniform changes in different categories of precipitation intensity across China and the associated large-scale circulations

This study focuses on changing trends in precipitation across mainland China during the period 1957–2014. We explore the influence of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and related large-scale atmospheric circulation variables on the changes in precipitation.
