Abstract

AbstractThe relationship between earthquake and climatic change has become a hotspot in geosciences with the upgrading of our understanding of the earth system. Based on the long wave theory in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, we studied the long wave features of Geothermal Vortexes accompanied by strong earthquakes, and analyzed the corresponding patterns of strong earthquakes (Ms ≥ 7.8) in northwest Pacific ocean and the monthly precipitation fields in China. The result shows that when the scale of Geothermal Vortex accompanied by strong earthquake is larger than 850 km, the Geothermal Vortex will move westward, as a result, it will have impact on the evolution of monthly‐seasonal precipitation field in China. From the result above, we predicted the flood season's precipitation in 2007 in China, the observed precipitation proved our prediction well.
