1 Roles of day oscillation in sustained rainstorms of October 2010 over Hainan, China Maoqiu Jian Yunting Qiao (Center for Monsoon and Environment Research //Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, China)

2 Outline 1. Motivation 2. Circulation systems for the sustained rainstorms in October 2010 in Hainan 3. Roles of day oscillation in the sustained rainstorms 4. Impact of Indo-Pacific SSTA on the day oscillations 5. Summary

3 1. Motivation The summer sustained rainstrom events in southern China are closely related to the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) propagation activities day and day oscillations are often dominant in the SCSSM evolution and the south Asian summer monsoon activities day oscillation may also modulate the tropical cyclone activities in the northwestern Pacific. This study is going to examine the ISO s influence in the sustained rainstorms over Hainan in autumn, based on an extreme case occurred in Oct
