In this study, we use the moisture budget equation and the three-pattern decomposition of global atmospheric circulation to analyze the extreme precipitation in Henan Province that occurred from 17 to 22 July 2021. The results obtained from the moisture budget equation show that the dynamic and thermodynamic terms can explain 75% and 22% of the anomalous precipitation, respectively, while the residual term only explains 3%. Changes in divergence (advection) are the main contributor to the dynamic (thermodynamic) term, which can explain 80% (22%) of the anomalous precipitation. Further analysis based on the novel moisture budget equation shows that the contributions of the horizontal, meridional, and zonal circulations to the anomalous precipitation caused by the dynamic term induced by divergence and thermodynamic term induced by advection are 13%, 13%, and 76%, respectively, suggesting the dominant role of zonal circulation in causing this anomalous precipitation. The underlying physical mechanism of horizontal, meridional, and zonal circulations in causing this anomalous precipitation was also studied.
