Abstract:Based on the composite analysis of low-frequency convective field and precipitation features in the active year of the Intra-Seasonal Oscillation (ISO) in the main flood period of Guizhou, key areas with low-frequency convection which affect the ISO and precipitation during main flood period were identified over tropical Indian Ocean (IO) and the South China Sea (SCS), respectively. Moreover, the extended-term forecast experiment of the heavy rainfall process in Guizhou was carried out by using MJO activity trajectory. The six ISO phases of the main flood period in Guizhou can be identified as:development, peak, weakening, suppression, valley and recovery. It is found that the precipitation in the ISO active year during the main flood period in Guizhou has a good correlation with the low-frequency convection occurred in the region, i.e. the strongest low-frequency convection occurred with the strongest positive precipitation intensity anomaly in the peak phase, and the weakest low-frequency convection occurred with the most negative precipitation anomaly in the valley phase. Besides, the 1st and 4th phases, the 2nd and 5th phases, and the 3rd and 6th phases of the ISO fluctuation show anti-phase characteristics of the tropical and subtropical low-frequency convective fields during the main flood period in Guizhou. During the development and eastward propagation of low-frequency convection in the tropical IO, there are two propagation paths that stimulate the ISO activities of the southwest monsoon over the bay of Bengal and tropical monsoon over the SCS, and the activities jointly affect the precipitation during main flood period in Guizhou eventually. There are three active phases of low-frequency convection during the main flood period of Guizhou, and the ISO in the IO key area and the SCS key area have three times of enhanced low-frequency convection in advance. By analyzing the impact of MJO activity trajectory on the regional heavy rainfall process in the main flood period of Guizhou, we found that characteristic of zonal eastward transmission of the ISO activity center intensity over the tropical Indian Ocean (the MJO activity center intensity) can be regarded as a good continuous forecast signal from 15 days to 3 days before the occurrence of heavy rainfall process in main flood period of Guizhou, and the best positive correlation are seen in the 9th day in advance. Determine the most similar period of the trajectories of MJO activity from the period of before (10 days in advance) the occurrence to the end of the process of heavy rainfall in Guizhou in the past year, and combine the results with the forecast period (11-30 days in the future) specified by the extended period forecast operation, we found that the trajectory and intensity of the MJO activity center trajectory have good indication significance for the trend forecast of the heavy rainfall process in Guizhou.
