Abstract EN
Data analysis and characterization of precipitation in the Haihe River Basin (HRB) of China are required for management practices for the purpose of flood water control and utilization.
In the companion paper, we presented precipitation data in the HRB during 1951–2010 and reported its basic statistics such as temporal trend and spatial variability.
In this study, spatiotemporal variability on the precipitation was further investigated comprehensively for the underlying physics and the implication to water resource management.
During the summer flood season of the study area, basin-wide precipitation was negatively correlated to average NINO3.4 index.
Spatially, summer precipitation was correlated with gridded sea surface temperature (SST) observed in the eastern tropic Pacific Ocean and the western tropic Indian Ocean.
SST in two representative areas was identified as potential predictors for precipitation in the HRB.
No spatial or temporal correlations were confirmed between precipitation and soil moisture as annual averages in the study area.
Copula analysis suggested about 40% possibility in a year with a potential for cross-watershed water diversion within HRB.
