    Abstract:
    Based on the high spatial and temporal resolution (0.125°×0.125°) reanalysis data of ERAInterim issued by the European Centre for MediumRange Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the precipitation observation data of the meteorological stations from 1989 to 2018, the characteristics of precipitation and air water vapor conditions on the east and west slopes of Liupan Mountain in recent 30 years are analyzed. The results show that: (1) The spatial distribution characteristics of the atmospheric precipitation, 700 hPa specific humidity and water vapor flux in the Liupan mountain area are relatively consistent with these of the precipitation in recent 30 years, with the characteristics of high in the east and low in the west, large in the south and small in the north. (2) During the summer main precipitation processes， the water vapor in the Liupan mountain area mainly comes from the lower layer of the Bay of Bengal, South China Sea and Indian Ocean. (3) The water vapor transport characteristics over the Liupan Mountain area are as follows: the water vapor transport is dominated by the southwest wind in 700 hPa and 750 hPa; the east side of the Liupan Mountain is the windward slope of the southeast wind below 750 hPa; influenced by the landform forcing, the southeast warm and wet air flow rises on the east slope. (4) The divergence field of water vapor flux has a structure of divergence at upper levels and convergence or weak divergence at lower levels over the eastern slope of the Liupan Mountain. Combined with the interaction of topography, East Asian monsoon, and various weather systems, the distribution characteristics of precipitation and air water vapor conditions in the Liupan mountain area are high in the east and low in the west. The preliminary results can reveal the characteristics of regional air water vapor conditions and provide a reference basis for the development of cloud water resources.
