Abstract
    The validity of composite analysis is seldom discussed despite the fact that it can yield conflicting results. Ourstudy confirms its validity by adding a reliability analysis to the classical composite analysis. Based on the signalsextracted from composite analysis, 10 of the 14 wet summers in North China (1951–2020) can be “predicted”retrospectively. This study suggested the cyclonic anomaly over Mongolia at 500- and 850-hPa is closely associated with wet summers in North China. Interestingly, we found the most profound effects come from theSouthern Hemisphere, with high confidence levels and large magnitude of the composite anomalies. Thesecomposite results are further cross-validated. We show that, based on the signals extracted from compositeanalysis, previously unseen wet summers in North China can be predicted with the mean absolute percentageerror (MAPE) around 6%
