Rainstorms in eastern <str<strong>on</strong>g>China</str<strong>on</strong>g> tended to be more frequent and enhanced after the 1970s.<br />

Subsequently there were quite a few flood discharge events during the 1980s-1990s at the<br />

Xin’anjiang Reservoir and Hydropower Stati<strong>on</strong>, which supplies electricity and water for the<br />

area including Shanghai and Hangzhou, eastern <str<strong>on</strong>g>China</str<strong>on</strong>g>. A study of the rainfall and synoptic<br />

characteristics in the regi<strong>on</strong> for the years of flood discharges was carried out, in order to help<br />

improving the reservoir management. Daily precipitati<strong>on</strong> data of surrounding stati<strong>on</strong>s and the<br />

ERA-40 reanalysis data for the rainy seas<strong>on</strong> (April-July) of 4 flood discharge years were<br />

analyzed. A comm<strong>on</strong> feature for the flood discharge years was revealed that the accumulated<br />

daily rainfall kept positively anomalous (above climatological mean level) since mid-April,<br />

followed by some unusually heavy rainfall process in late June just before the decisi<strong>on</strong>-making<br />

for flood discharge. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> Meiyu period was l<strong>on</strong>ger than usual for the 4 years. Anomalously<br />

westward expansi<strong>on</strong> of the Subtropical High in the western Pacific and early burst of the Asian<br />

summer m<strong>on</strong>so<strong>on</strong> might have played a role in forming the anomalous rainfall process in<br />

eastern <str<strong>on</strong>g>China</str<strong>on</strong>g>.<br />
