Abstract: y using 55-yr NCEP?NCAR reanalysis data, two dominant interannual variability modes of summer upper-tropospheric (500?200 hPa) temperature over East Asia are identified. The first empirical orthogonal function (EOF1) mode ...

Abstract: ast Asia is greatly impacted by drought. North and southwest China are the regions with the highest drought frequency and maximum duration. At the interannual time scale, drought in the eastern part of East Asia is mainly ...

Abstract: Identifying the origin of moisture is a key process in revealing the formation mechanisms of precipitation, but the moisture sources for Central Asia have not been well documented in previous studies. In this work, we ...

Abstract: AbstractAn integrated picture of the future changes in the water cycle is provided focusing on the global land monsoon (GLM) region, based on multimodel projections under the representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) ...

Abstract: AbstractThe ecosystem and societal development over arid Central Asia, the core connecting region of the Silk Road Economic Belt, are highly sensitive to climate change. The results derived from multiobservational datasets ...

Abstract: AbstractPersistent drought is a major meteorological disaster causing vast agricultural damage and long-term regional water crises. Over north China, this type of drought tends to begin in spring and to persist until summer ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper reports a consistent seesaw relationship between interdecadal precipitation variability over North China and the Southwest United States, which can be found in observations and simulations with several ...
