Regional characteristics and exploitation potential of atmospheric water resources in China

The atmospheric water resources (AWR) in China have evident regional characteristics. In order to scientifically and rationally exploit the AWR different regions of China, we divided into seven based on ERA-5, CloudSat data, so on. Such characteristics as vapour, cloud characteristics, (CWR), precipitation efficiency hydrometeors (PEh), exploitation potential CWR were studied this article. Some results summer are shown. (a) There relatively more precipitation, richer stronger vapour transport convergence, covers, larger zones rich total column content China. Therefore, it is important significance study (b) respect single-layer clouds, low clouds majority over Tibetan Plateau (TP) southwest (SW), medium predominant northern regions, high existed central region (CR) southeast (SE). liquid (LWC) at each height was less than 800 mg·m?3 decreased gradually with increase convective development heights, LWC altitude, frequencies LWCs lower those southern regions. ice (IWC) 250 mg·m?3, 96% them 100 mg·m?3. (c) northeast (NE), north (NC), CR rich, but PEh, there higher these followed by northwest (NW) TP, still some SE SW.
