In this monograph, the spatial and temporal distribution of summer rainfall over China and the relationship between the rainfall distribution and the summer monsoon in East Asia are investigated. It is found that heavy rainfalls move northward as the summer monsoon advances northward. Then three types of heavy rainfalls in the Meiyu front and the thermodynamic structure of the Meiyu front are analyzed. Finally, the interannual variability of rainfalls over the Yangtze River Basin in the Meiyu season is studied.
