Abstract: An image recognition algorithm (IRA) is proposed for the rapid detection of large-scale persistent extreme precipitation events (LPEPEs). Compared with the traditional iterative algorithm (TIA), the IRA reduces computational cost by two orders of magnitude while maintaining the same hit rate and false alarm ratio. Three independent precipitation products}the China Meteorological Administration’s Daily Precipitation Dataset of China (DPDC), fifth generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5) reanalysis, and GPM IMERG, with resolutions of 0.58, 0.258, and 0.18}were jointly employed for cross validation from 2000 to 2021. All three datasets indicate that LPEPEs are predominantly concentrated in June–August, consistent with China’s primary rainy season, and the northernmost initiation latitudes of LPEPEs expand northward from approximately 308N in April to around 408N in September, mirroring the seasonal northward shift of China’s monsoon rainband; this consistency, together with coherent results from the three independent datasets, confirms the robustness of the IRA in LPEPE detection. Besides, all datasets consistently reveal a pronounced southward displacement preference of nontyphoon LPEPEs during the 22 years, with the largest displacement occurring in boreal summer and mei-yu season. Composite analyses indicate that this preference is governed by synergistic large-scale synoptic forcing and internal thermodynamic feedback, enhanced by positive local feedback, and supported by the three independent datasets. The southward displacement preference persists after 2013 despite accelerated global warming, underscoring the robustness of its underlying dynamic–thermodynamic mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
