Abstract

Abstract

In this paper the Qing weather records “Clear and Rain Records” were used to reconstruct the 18th century summer (June—August) precipitation and monthly precipitation series of May—August for Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou. The nature of these records and the technique of transforming them into numerical codes are described. The procedure of converting these descriptive records into quantitative monthly precipitation and its scientific basis are given in detail. The reliability of the precipitation series obtained is also examined.
