A study on the touching deeds of the 2008 snowstorm in southern China

The direct cause of the widespread heavy rain and snow in the south in early 08 was the abnormal atmospheric circulation

From the perspective of climate change, the current equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean is low in Shanghai, which is one of the manifestations of the "La Niña" phenomenon. Statistical analysis shows that in the winter of the year when the strong La Niña event occurs, the longitude of the mid-latitude atmospheric circulation may be strengthened, that is, the cold air activity is frequent, which is likely to cause low temperature in most parts of northern and eastern China, and more precipitation in the north of the Yangtze River.
