Temporal and spatial distributions of precipitation on the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain during 1960–2019, China

The Huang-Huai-Hai Plain is an important commercial grain production base in China. Understanding the temporal and spatial variations in precipitation can help prevent drought and flood disasters and ensure food security. Based on the precipitation data for the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain from 1960 to 2019...
