Interannual Variability of Summer Monsoon Onset over the Western North Pacific and the Underlying Processes
Climatological summer monsoon onset over the South China Sea (SCS) and the western North Pacific (WNP) (defined as the region of 108–208N, 1208–1608E) displays three distinct stages. Around mid-May, monsoon rain commences in the SCS and the Philippines. In early to mid-June, the monsoon rain extends to the southwestern Philippine Sea. After mid-July, the rainy season starts in the northeastern ...
متن کاملInterdecadal variability over the North Pacific in a multi-century climate simulation*
Interdecadal variability in the North Pacific region is investigated in a 500-y control integration of the Hamburg ECHAMcLSG coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model. The spectrum is predominantly red, but a significant peak with a period of about 18 y is detected in the spectrum of sea surface temperature (SST). This peak is shown to be associated with an irregular oscillation that i...
متن کاملInterannual and Interdecadal Variability of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone
Interannual variations of the summertime (January−March) atmospheric circulation over subtropical South America are examined during the period 1958–97 using the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data. It is found from an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis that an anomalous upper-tropospheric stationary eddy in the lee of the Andes tends to accompany a dipole in anomalous vertical motion. An anomal...
متن کاملInterannual Variability of High-Wind Occurrence over the North Atlantic*
Interannual variability of high-wind occurrence over the North Atlantic is investigated based on observations from the satellite-borne Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). Despite no wind direction being included, SSM/I data capture major features of high-wind frequency (HWF) quite well. Climatology maps show that HWF is highest in winter and is close to zero in summer. Remarkable interannu...
متن کاملSeasonal and Interannual Variability in Atmospheric Turbidity over South Africa
Aerosols affect climate by attenuating solar radiation and acting as cloud condensation nuclei. Despite their importance in the climate system, our understanding of the time-space variability of aerosols is fragmentary. Measurements and reliable estimates of atmospheric turbidity—the total column amount of aerosol—are scarce in most countries and this is especially true in the Southern Hemisphe...
