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: Hemispherically and temporally asymmetric tropical precipitation responses to global warming are evaluated in 13 different coupled atmosphere?ocean climate model simulations. In the late boreal summer, hemispherical averages ...

Abstract: Bayesian analysis is applied to detect changepoints in the time series of seasonal typhoon counts in the vicinity of Taiwan. An abrupt shift in the typhoon count series occurs in 2000. On average, 3.3 typhoons per year ...

Abstract: The interannual variability of the western North Pacific (WNP) summer monsoon is examined for the non-ENSO, ENSO developing, and ENSO decaying years, respectively. The ENSO developing (decaying) year is defined as the year ...

Abstract: The annual cycle of precipitation over the western North Pacific and East Asian (WNP?EA) sector has five major periods: spring, the first and second wet periods, fall, and winter. In this study, processes that induce ...

Abstract: Examining tropical regional precipitation anomalies under global warming in 10 coupled global climate models, several mechanisms are consistently found. The tendency of rainfall to increase in convergence zones with large ...

Abstract: In this study, the western North Pacific?East Asian (WNP?EA) rainfall anomaly induced by the strong El Niño in 1982?83, 1991?92, and 1997?98, and its association with the mean state, are examined. Over the northern part ...

Abstract: Mechanisms of global warming impacts on regional tropical precipitation are examined in a coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model (ECHAM4/OPYC3). The pattern of the regional tropical precipitation changes, once ...
