TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of raindrop size distributions and polarimetric radar parameters retrieved by T-matrix for stratiform and convective precipitation in Beijing and Zhangbei (northern China), and Yangjiang (southern China) are studied and compared based on RSD data observed with PARSIVEL disdrometers in these three different climatic regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of upper and lower-level weather systems in heavy rain in Beijing and its surrounding areas from 21 to 22 July 2012, and showed that the precipitation in Beijing can be divided into two phases: a warm-sector precipitation phase, ahead of the cold front, and a cold front precipitation phase.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the spatial and temporal variations of annual and seasonal precipitation from 1962 to 2011 in Qinghai Province, China using four statistical methods and found that the reduction of precipitation in densely populated eastern and southeastern regions is closely related to human activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamical, thermodynamical and microphysical structures of convective cells associated with a squall line that occurred on 23 June 2011 in northern China are investigated using observational data and the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effect of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations on microphysical processes and precipitation characteristics of hailstorms in a semi-arid region of northern China.
