Abstract: The majority of monsoon depressions develop from the regenesis of westward-propagating residual lows from the east. Most of these residual lows can be traced to weather disturbances in the south China Sea, including tropical ...

Abstract: The authors computed the occurrence frequency of synoptic-scale disturbances over the western tropical Pacific with a simple synoptic scheme and the Goddard Earth Observing System data for 1980?94 supplemented by the 1979 ...

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that the life cycle of the Asian summer monsoon is modulated by the 30?60-day oscillation; the arrival of the 30?60-day monsoon trough (ridge) at 15°?20°N intensifies (weakens) the monsoon flow ...

Abstract: The summer monsoons in East and Southeast Asia are characterized, respectively, by the Mei-yu (in eastern China)?Baiu (in Japan) front (MBF) and by the monsoon trough stretching from northern Indochina to the Philippine ...

Abstract: This study uses a series of coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model (CGCM) experiments to examine the roles of the Indian and Pacific Oceans in the transition phases of the tropospheric biennial oscillation (TBO) ...

Abstract: The interannual variation in tropical cyclone genesis frequency over the western North Pacific was examined for the active tropical cyclone (including summer and fall) during 1979?94. An emphasis was put on the possible ...

Abstract: Using the NASA/GEOS reanalysis data for 1980?95, the austral-summer stationary eddies in the tropical?subtropical Southern Hemisphere are examined in two wave regimes: long and short wave (wave 1 and waves 2?6, respectively). ...
