TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated spatial and temporal patterns of trends of the precipitation maxima (defined as the annual/seasonal maximum precipitation) in the Yangtze River basin for 1960-2005 using Mann-Kendall trend test, and explored association of changing patterns of precipitation maximima with large-scale circulation using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors detected temporal trends and frequency changes at three major stations of Yangtze River, i.e. Yichang, Hankou and Datong representing upper, middle and lower reaches, respectively, with the help of parametric t-test, Mann- Kendall analysis and wavelet transform methods.

TL;DR: In this article, Wang et al. used wavelet transform (CWT), cross-wavelet and wavelet coherence methods to detect variability and possible teleconnections between annual maximum streamflow from the lower, the middle and the upper Yangtze River basin and ENSO.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Mann-Kendall trend analysis and linear regression analysis to analyze the changes of runoff and sediment loads in different parts of the Yangtze River basin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of different seasonal precipitation regimes over the Yangtze River basin based on the rotated empirical orthogonal functions and found that ENSO is the leading driver of seasonal precipitation variability.
