Description:The Balkhash ‐Junggar (B ‐J) region is a typical dryland region with strong sensitivity to climate change. The snowstorms of the year 2009 caused financial damage worth of 2,516 million RMB. This study examines the dynamical features and the moisture sources associated with wintertime extreme precipitation over the B ‐J region. The analyses are based primarily on the data set from ERA ‐Interim during DJF 1979 – 2017. Both Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches are used to examine the moisture sources. An upper ‐tropospheric Rossby wave train that extends from the North Atlantic Ocean to the B ‐J region is found to play a leading role in the formation of 127 wintertime extreme precipitation events in the B ‐J region.
