Abstract: Two distinct modes of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) have been identified, and they correspond to real and imaginary parts of the leading mode of the EAWM, respectively. Analyses of these modes used the National ...

Abstract: his paper describes two dominant patterns of Asian winter climate variability: the Siberian high (SH) pattern and the Asia?Arctic (AA) pattern. The former depicts atmospheric variability closely associated with the intensity ...

Abstract: Resolution of a complex Hermitian matrix derived from monthly mean 850-hPa wind fields during the summer season (June?August) from 1968 to 2004 revealed four different modes of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) variability. ...

Abstract: sing NCEP?NCAR reanalysis and Japanese 25-yr Reanalysis (JRA-25) data, this paper investigates the association between winter sea ice concentration (SIC) in Baffin Bay southward to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, and ...

Abstract: A new, well-verified, multiproxy reconstruction of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index is described that can be used to examine the variability of the NAO prior to twentieth century greenhouse forcing. It ...

Abstract: preliminary study of a point-by-point spatial precipitation reconstruction for northwestern (NW) China is explored, based on a tree-ring network of 132 chronologies. Precipitation variations during the past ~200?400 yr ...

Abstract: Analyses of instrumental data demonstrate robust linkages between decadal-scale North Pacific and tropical Indo-Pacific climatic variability. These linkages encompass common regime shifts, including the noteworthy 1976 ...

Abstract: Reconstructions of annual (prior August?current July) precipitation and streamflow, 345 yr in length (1651?1995), are presented for northeastern Mongolia based on tree-ring width data. These precipitation and streamflow ...
