- Abstract
The article offers information on the climactic teleconnections of summer monsoon streamflow to the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) at the Yangtze River Basin in China. From the period of 1882 to 2003, the summer monsoon inflow was analyzed at Yichang hydrological station (YHS). Statistical analysis was utilized to create a probative model for summer streamflow, followed by linear correlation maps using three-month ahead climate fields to determine the regions that exhibit climactic influences with streamflow at Yichang. The analysis shows regions in the eastern India and western Pacific oceans influences the YHS streamflow. It is inferred that an accurate climactic prediction can provide guidance for water management in the Yangtze River Basin.
