Abstract: | Using National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Centre for
Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis data and monthly Hadley Center
sea surface temperature (SST) data, and selecting a representative East
Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) index, this study investigated the relationship
between EAWM and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) using statistical analyses
and numerical simulations. Some possible mechanisms regarding this
relationship were also explored. Results indicate a close relationship
between EAWM and EASM: a strong EAWM led to a strong EASM in the following
summer, and a weak EAWM led to a weak EASM in the following summer.
Anomalous EAWM has persistent impacts on the variation of SST in the
tropical Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, and on the equatorial
atmospheric thermal anomalies at both lower and upper levels. Through these
impacts, the EAWM influences the land--sea thermal contrast in summer and
the low-level atmospheric divergence and convergence over the Indo-Pacific
region. It further affects the meridional monsoon circulation and other
features of the EASM. Numerical simulations support the results of
diagnostic analysis. The study provides useful information for predicting
the EASM by analyzing the variations of preceding EAWM and tropical SST. |
