RISWeakening Trend in the Atmospheric Heat Source over the Tibetan Plateau during Recent Decades. Part I: Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The trend in the atmospheric heat source over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during the last four decades is evaluated using historical observations at 74 meteorological stations in the period of 1961?2003 and satellite radiation ...
Atmospheric Precipitation in Response to Equatorial and Tropical Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three sets of numerical experiments based on a GFDL GCM were developed to investigate the response of the large-scale tropical circulation and precipitation to the tropical and equatorial sea surface temperature (SST) ...
Weakening Trend in the Atmospheric Heat Source over the Tibetan Plateau during Recent Decades. Part II: Connection with Climate Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part I the authors have shown that heating sources in spring over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), and in particular the sensible heat flux (SHF), exhibit a significant weakening trend since the mid-1980s that is induced mainly ...
Tibetan Plateau Forcing and the Timing of the Monsoon Onset over South Asia and the South China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations were employed to study the thermal characteristics of the Tibetan Plateau and its neighboring regions, and their impacts on the onset of the Asian monsoon in 1989. Special attention was paid to the diagnosis ...
The Nonlinear Response of the Atmosphere to Large-Scale Mechanical and Thermal Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The subject of large-scale mountain waves is reviewed briefly. Existing mountain wave theory based on a linear system is shown to give an inadequate description of the balance of angular momentum. The response of the ...
Impacts of the Tibetan Plateau on Asian Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rofessor Yanai is remembered in our hearts as an esteemed friend. Based on his accomplishments in tropical meteorology and with his flashes of insight he led his group at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the ...
A GCM Simulation of the Relationship between Tropical-Storm Formation and ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A low-resolution Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) general circulation model has been integrated for 15 years. In the course of this experiment, the observed month-to-month sea surface temperature (SST) variations ...
Characteristics and Mechanism of the 10–20-Day Oscillation of Spring Rainfall over Southern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) of southern China spring rainfall (SCSR) are examined based on daily rain gauge rainfall data and NCEP/Department of Energy Reanalysis 2 (NCEP-2) products for the period 1980?2008. The ...
Relationship between the Subtropical Anticyclone and Diabatic Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly mean reanalysis data and numerical experiments based on a climate model are employed to investigate the relative impacts of different types of diabatic heating and their synthetic effects on the formation of the ...
