Abstract: The formation mechanisms of both the South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ) and the baiu front are investigated using a regional climate model. Some idealistic numerical experiments are carried out assuming zonally uniform ...

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 ...

Abstract: he role of the Brazilian Plateau (BP) in maintaining the South Atlantic convergence zone (SACZ) has been examined by statistical analysis and numerical experiments. Statistical analysis using 27 years of data showed that ...
