摘要: Summer rainfall in the Yangtze River basin is predicted using neural network techniques. Input variables (predictors) for are Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), East Atlantic/Western Russia (EA/WR) pattern, Scandinavia (SCA) Polar/Eurasia (POL) pattern and several indices calculated from sea surface temperatures (SST), level pressures (SLP) snow data December to April period 1993 2002. The output variable of May September 1994 2002, which was previously classified into six different regions by means a principal component analysis (PCA). Rainfall 2002. The winter SST SLP identified be most important predictors summer basin. Tibetan Plateau depth, SOI other teleconnection seem minor importance an accurate prediction. This may result length available time series, does not allow deeper impact multi-annual oscillations. The algorithms proved capable explaining variability For five out regions, our predictions explain at least 77% total variance measured rainfall. Copyright © 2007 Royal Meteorological Society
