REVIEW OF AND OUTLOOK ON THE STUDY OF PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH EAST ASIAN SUBTROPICAL MONSOON AND TROPICAL MONSOON

The East Asian monsoon consists of the subtropical monsoon and the tropical monsoon.Interrelated to each other,these two monsoon systems directly affect the rainfall distribution over China.As two distinct monsoons,the East Asian tropical monsoon and subtropical monsoon differ substantially in the formation and most weather systems,thus bringing different precipitation structure and precipitation characters.This paper is a brief review of Chinese meteorologists' results in East Asian tropical monsoon rainfall and subtropical monsoon rainfall,summarizes some hot spots in today's monsoon study,and make some advices for better understanding of monsoon rain in the future work.
