Abstract
AbstractUsing the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and station observations in China during 1979–2018, features of propagation of baroclinic wave packets in the upper troposphere and their relationships with precipitation over the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (MLRYR) in daily climatology are investigated after having components with periods longer than 9 days filtered out. It is demonstrated that in the filtered daily climatology, the baroclinic wave packets still exist. The wave packet migrates eastward on the northern sides of the westerly jet stream axis whereas it does not move explicitly in the southern side of the axis in the upper troposphere. The filtered daily precipitation over MLRYR is mainly affected by the wave packets in the region south of the westerly jet axis. These results are very meaningful for better understanding behaviors of Rossby waves in daily climatology and the causes of daily precipitation variations in MLRYR.
