Multi-scale update on precipitation characteristics at Jinan, East China

Extreme precipitation triggered by climate change is a hot issue of global concern. This study investigates changes in temporal trends of precipitation at Jinan City, Shandong Province over the last six decades. It first constructs a long series of measured daily precipitation data (1951–2017) and t...

This study investigates changes in temporal trends of precipitation at Jinan City, Shandong Province over the last six decades.
