Soil enthalpy (H) contains the combined effects of both soil moisture (w) and soil temperature (T) in the land surface hydrothermal process. In this study, the sensitivities ofHtowandTare investigated using the multi-linear regression method. Results indicate thatTgenerally makes positive contributions toH, while w exhibits different (positive or negative) impacts due to soil ice effects. For example,wnegatively contributes toHif soil contains more ice; however, after soil ice melts,wexerts positive contributions. In particular, due to lowerwinterannual variabilities in the deep soil layer (i.e., the fifth layer),His more sensitive toTthan tow. Moreover, to compare the potential capabilities ofH,wandTin precipitation (P) prediction, the Huanghe–Huaihe Basin (HHB) and Southeast China (SEC), with similar sensitivities ofHtowandT, are selected. Analyses show that, despite similar spatial distributions ofH–PandT–Pcorrelation coefficients, the former values are always higher than the latter ones. Furthermore,Hprovides the most effective signals forPprediction over HHB and SEC, i.e., a significant leading correlation between MayHand early summer (June)P. In summary,H, which integrates the effects ofTandwas an independent variable, has greater capabilities in monitoring land surface heating and improving seasonalPprediction relative to individual land surface factors (e.g.,Tandw).
