Figure 3

Mean atmospheric circulation of 20 typical Mei-yu front rainstorm events from 2010 to 2015. (a) 200 hPa geopotential height (contour; units: dagpm) and wind field (arrows, units: m·s−1). (b) 500 hPa geopotential height (contour; units: dagpm) and water vapor flux integral from the ground to 200 hPa (arrows; units: kg·m−1·s−1, shading >>100 kg·m−1·s−1). (c) 850 hPa wind field (arrows; units: m·s−1), temperature (contour; units: °C), and water vapor flux divergence from the ground to 200 hPa (shading; units: 10−4 kg·m−2·s−1·hPa−1).
