Abstract: The anomalous low-level anticyclone over the western North Pacific presents a link between El Niño and the western North Pacific?East Asian climate. During a La Niña event, however, the low-level wind anomalies over the ...

Abstract: composite study is performed to examine the differences in equatorial wave behaviors and large-scale background patterns during tropical cyclone (TC) genesis. After removing TC contamination, Madden?Julian oscillation ...

Abstract: Similarities and differences between El Niño and global warming are examined in hemispherical and zonal tropical precipitation changes of the ECHAM5/Max Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPI-OM) simulations. Similarities include ...

Abstract: Mechanisms of northward-propagating intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) over the Indian Ocean (IO) and the western North Pacific (WNP) are examined for the possibility of their existence in observations. They include the ...

Abstract: Anthropogenic forcings, such as greenhouse gases and aerosols, are starting to show their influence on the climate, as evidenced by a global warming trend observed in the past century. The weakening of tropical circulation, ...

Abstract: he annual range of precipitation, which is the difference between maximum and minimum precipitation within a year, is examined in climate model simulations under global warming. For global averages, the annual range of ...

Abstract: Mechanisms determining the poleward extent of summer monsoon convergence zones for North America, Asia, and Africa are examined in an intermediate atmospheric model coupled with a simple land model and a mixed layer ocean. ...

Abstract: Mechanisms that determine the tropical precipitation anomalies under global warming are examined in an intermediate atmospheric model coupled with a simple land surface and a mixed layer ocean. To compensate for the warm ...

Abstract: In response to the zonally symmetric El Niño?Southern Oscillation forcing, hemispherically asymmetric tropical precipitation anomalies associated with the Hadley circulation are found. In boreal spring after an El Niño ...

Abstract: The quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation model (QTCM1) is implemented and tested. The formulation, described by Neelin and Zeng, uses a Galerkin framework in the vertical, but with basis functions tailored to quasi-equilibrium ...
