摘要
China's worst flooding since 1998 occurred over the Yangtze River Valley from 30 June to 6 July 2016. This study investigated the event using a new method-the spectral nudging and update cycle (SN+UIC)-in the regional Weather Research and Forecasting model, fuller use of small-scale features by using multi-scale blending. The SN+UIC was found to be successful in improving the prediction of this persistent severe rainfall event; and the larger the magnitude and longer the lead time, the more obvious the improvement. It was also found that the use of this new method decreased the root-mean-square error for related meteorological variables.
