Abstract: he initiation and developing mechanisms of four major central Pacific (CP) El Niño events in 1994, 2002, 2004, and 2009 were investigated by analyzing oceanic and atmospheric reanalysis data. A mixed layer heat budget ...

Abstract: n interannual variability mode in the southeast Pacific with a physical interpretation similar to that of the Pacific meridional mode (PMM) in the North Pacific was recently identified. Both modes have been shown to influence ...

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: 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: AbstractAfter the quick decaying of the 2015 super El Niño, the predicted La Niña unexpectedly failed to materialize to the anticipated standard in 2016. Diagnostic analyses, as well as numerical experiments, showed that ...

Abstract: A coupled climate model is used to explore the response of the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) to positive SST anomalies in the global extratropics. The main model results here are consistent with previous numerical ...

Abstract: The amplitude asymmetry between El Niño and La Niña is investigated by diagnosing the mixed-layer heat budget during the ENSO developing phase by using the three ocean assimilation products: Simple Ocean Data Assimilation ...

Abstract: AbstractA high-impact extreme precipitation event over the Yangtze River valley (YRV) in the midsummer of 2016 is simulated using the Climate System Model of Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS-CSM). After ...
