Analyses of meteorological features of flash-flood-producing rainstorms in the Yujiang river near Nanning city indicate that tropical cyclones influence is the main factor contributing to flash floods in the Zuojiang and Youjiang rivers,and the rainfall of the catchment area on the day 9 to 5 before the flood peak is most important to the formation of floods.

This paper carries out a numerical experiment on a flash-flood-producing rainstorm process from 3 to 5 September 2004 in Sichuan province,using NCEP/NCAR data and regional observational data as the background field.

Based on the NCEP/NCAR daily reanalysis data,the circulation background of the flash-flood-producing rainstorm over South China in June 2005 and its possible cause are analyzed.

Starting from the atmospheric circulation background and physical field diagnosis,and connecting with some meteorological observation data such as FY-2C nephogram and its products,this paper analyzes the geneses and characteristics of 7·29 torrential rain weather in Jincheng City,which provides the foundations for future forecast of torrential rain.

The results show that the flood rainstorm is closely related with lower level energy accumulation,a low-vortex shear line and the low-level jet on 700 hPa.

A contrast analysis on the course of two flood rainstorms along upper Weihe river is made.

An investigation was conducted on the hydrological underlying surface for rain-induced floods from Sanmenxia to Xiaolangdi in the mid-lower reaches of the Yellow River by means of the multiple time-phase,high-resolution remote sensing data of Landsat TM/ETM~+.
