Atmospheric Responses to Kuroshio SST Front in the East China Sea under Different Prevailing Winds in Winter and Spring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric responses to the Kuroshio SST front in the East China Sea under different prevailing winds are examined using high-resolution observations and numerical modeling. Satellite data reveal a significant in-phase ...
Contributions of the North Pacific Meridional Mode to Ensemble Spread of ENSO Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSeasonal prediction of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) employs the ensemble method, which samples the uncertainty in initial conditions. While much attention has been given to the ensemble mean, the ensemble ...
Intermember Variability of the Summer Northwest Pacific Subtropical Anticyclone in the Ensemble Forecast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe accurate prediction of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) remains a major challenge for the climate research community. The northwest Pacific (NWP) subtropical anticyclone (NWPSA) is the dominant feature of ...
Observed Rainfall Asymmetry in Tropical Cyclones Making Landfall over China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the rainfall asymmetries in tropical cyclones (TCs) that made landfall in the Hainan (HN), Guangdong (GD), Fujian (FJ), and Zhejiang (ZJ) provinces of mainland China and Taiwan (TW) from 2001 to 2009 were ...
Atmospheric Effects of the Kuroshio Large Meander during 2004–05
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the summer of 2004, the Kuroshio took a large meander path south of Japan for the first time since 1991, and this large meander event persisted until the next summer. Satellite observations and numerical model simulations ...
Regional Model Simulations of Marine Boundary Layer Clouds over the Southeast Pacific off South America. Part II: Sensitivity Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of a regional climate model to physical parameterizations and model resolution is investigated in terms of its simulation of boundary layer stratocumulus (SCu) clouds over the southeast Pacific. Specifically, ...
Occurrence of Winter Stratospheric Sudden Warming Events and the Seasonal Timing of Spring Stratospheric Final Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ased on the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis dataset covering 1958?2012, this paper demonstrates a statistically significant relationship between the occurrence of major stratospheric sudden warming events (SSWs) in midwinter and the ...
Subseasonal Variability of the Southeast Pacific Stratus Cloud Deck
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Subseasonal variability of the stratus/stratocumulus cloud deck over the subtropical southeast Pacific is studied using satellite and buoy observations as well as the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis. It is found that subseasonal ...
Effects of the Andes on Eastern Pacific Climate: A Regional Atmospheric Model Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional atmospheric model is used to study the effects of the narrow and steep Andes on the eastern Pacific climate. In the Southern Hemisphere cold season (i.e., August?October 1999), the model reproduces key climatic ...
Deep Atmospheric Response to the Spring Kuroshio over the East China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he atmospheric response to the spring Kuroshio Front over the East China Sea is investigated using a suite of high-resolution satellite data and a regional atmospheric model. The atmospheric response appears to extend ...
