Abstract Under the background of climate warming,extreme cold events still occur and are often accompanied by serious economic and social impacts,which should be further studied. As an extreme cold event in the context of global warming,the research on the extreme cold winter event between 1929 and 1930 is relatively limited. This paper discusses the extreme cold winter events in China during 1929-1930 by collecting and analyzing meteorological data and newspaper records. The results show that: (1)The scope of this cold winter includes North China,Yangtze River Basin(from Chongqing to estuary)and North Xinjiang,and there may be a cold winter in Northwest China. The peak cold periods lasted from December 1929 to January1930;(2)In the region affected by cold winter,there are extreme monthly mean temperature. The mean temperature in December in North China and the Yangtze River Basin exceeded the cold event level of once every ten years. The mean temperature in January in the Yangtze River Basin and the northern Xinjiang exceeded the level of once every fifty years. However,the extremity of minimummonthly temperature is weak. The lowest temperature data collected from most stations reached the level of once every five years,only some of them exceeded the level of once every ten years;(3)This cold winter experienced at least seven regional/national cold events,among which three cold events reached the standard of national cold wave events,which occurred from Dec. 1st to 5th,from Dec. 16th to 20th and from Jan. 1st to 5th. The first and third cold waves were the typical cold wave of middle path affecting China. The spatial distribution of the second cold event was not obvious;(4)Based on the climatic characteristics of drought before the cold winter,and flood after the cold winter,the change of ENSO index during this period and previous studies on the relationship between ENSO and climate change in China,it was speculated that the meteorological disasters between the late 1920s and the early 1930s were greatly affected by ENSO events.
