Abstract

O-excess confirmed that the precipitation in the study area is jointly contributed to by the warm and humid air mass from the southeast monsoon and the dry and cold air mass from the westerly wind. Of these, approximately 55%-79% of the precipitation water vapor comes from the ocean, mainly in June to August, and about 21%-45% of the water vapor comes from inland and local evaporation, mainly from October to April. The water vapor sources of precipitation in May and September are complex and may intermittently originate from ocean and inland water vapor.
