Using the monthly precipitation data of stations over the Haihe basin and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, the largescale relation between summer precipitation over the Haihe basin and Northern Hemisphere circulation anomalies from 1981 to 2013 is examined. The singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis is applied to reveal the connection between two fields. Results show that the leading two SVDcoupled modes explain more than half of the squared covariance between those two fields. It is found that tropical 500hPa height anomalies affect the precipitation anomalies of the whole basin, and the subtropical 500 height anomolies has significant effects on the summer precipitation anomalies over the southeast part of the basin. Tropical and subtropical circulation indices are then defined, according to the spatial patterns of the leading two SVD modes, to analyze possible mechanisms of the mentioned coupling connections. Composite analysis with respect to the above indices suggests that anomalous subtropical westerly jet and water vapor transports are associated with the anomalous indices. In weak tropical index years and especially strong subtropical index years, there can be seen a stronger and northward subtropical westerly jet, as well as significant anomalous water vapor flux convergence accumulation near the basin region. Especially, anomalous water vapor transports associated with the two anomalous indices are from different origins.
