RISThe Monsoon Year—A New Concept of the Climatic Year in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The concept of ?monsoon year? is proposed as a unit year of climatic anomalies (i.e., the climatic year) in the tropics. This monsoon year is defined as one year starting just before the northern summer monsoon season. It ...
Dominant Interannual and Decadal Variability of Winter Surface Air Temperature over Asia and the Surrounding Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To clarify the interannual variability of winter surface air temperature (SAT) over Asia and the surrounding oceans, the authors applied principal component analysis to normalized monthly SATs. The first mode represents ...
The Effects of Midlatitude Waves over and around the Tibetan Plateau on Submonthly Variability of the East Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective variability at submonthly time scales (7?25 days) over the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins (YHRBs) and associated large-scale atmospheric circulation during the mei-yu season were examined using interpolated ...
Southerly Surges on Submonthly Time Scales over the Eastern Indian Ocean during the Southern Hemisphere Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meridional wind surges from the extratropics into the Tropics strongly regulate tropical convective activity. This paper confirms that extratropical forcing manifested as a meridional surge does modulate the tropical ...
Time–Space Characteristics of Diurnal Rainfall over Borneo and Surrounding Oceans as Observed by TRMM-PR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Five years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data were used to investigate the time and space characteristics of the diurnal cycle of rainfall over and around Borneo, an island in the ...
Changes in Low Cloudiness over China between 1971 and 1996
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climatology and long-term trends of low-cloud conditions over China were examined using the Extended Edited Cloud Report Archive data from 1971 to 1996. Linear regression analysis was applied to time series of clear-sky ...
A Climatological Monsoon Break in Rainfall over Indochina—A Singularity in the Seasonal March of the Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigated the climatological pentad mean annual cycle of rainfall in Thailand and the associated atmospheric circulation fields. The data used included two different data of rainfall: rain gauge data for ...
Modulation of the Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall Associated with the MJO Observed by a Dense Hourly Rain Gauge Network at Sarawak, Borneo
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates spatiotemporal characteristics of the diurnal cycle (DC) of rainfall over Sarawak in northwest Borneo Island, associated with large-scale intraseasonal disturbances represented by the Madden?Julian ...
Biennial and Lower-Frequency Variability Observed in the Early Summer Climate in the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Early summer climate in the western North Pacific is largely represented by the baiu phenomenon. The meridional fluctuations of the baiu front on interannual time scales and the associated large-scale circulations are ...
