Regional and synoptic-scale features associated with inactive periods of the summer monsoon over south china(1)
This paper presents an observational study of the physical processes responsible for the inactive period (break) of the summer monsoon over South China (SC). The break of the monsoon is defined by using the ra...

Interannual and interdecadal variability of winter precipitation over china in relation to global sea level pressure anomalies
Based on the method of rotated principal component (RPC) analysis and wavelet transforms, the winter precipitation from 36 stations over China for the period 1881-1993 is examined. The results show that the th...

The role of β-effect and a uniform current on tropical cyclone intensity
A limited-area primitive equation model is used to study the role of the β-effect and a uniform current on tropical cyclone (TC) intensity. It is found that TC intensity is reduced in a non-quiescent environme...

The East Asian summer monsoon: an overview
The present paper provides an overview of major problems of the East Asian summer monsoon. The summer monsoon system over East Asia (including the South China Sea (SCS)) cannot be just thought of as the eastwa...

Article
Diurnal variations of circulation and precipitation in the vicinity of the Tibetan Plateau in early summer
A regional climate model (RCM) has been applied to simulate the diurnal variations of the Asian summer monsoon during the early summer period. The ERA40 reanalysis data and the TRMM precipitation data are used...

Article
The role of MJO and mid-latitude fronts in the South China Sea summer monsoon onset
Previous studies have suggested that the South China Sea (SCS) summer monsoon onset is concurrent with the arrival of a 30–60-day northward-propagating trough. On the other hand, from a synoptic viewpoint, som...

Global Warming and Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Western North Pacific
This paper provides a summary of some of the recent studies of the climate of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the Western North Pacific (WNP) region, and its possible relation with global warming. Because tw...

Mesoscale vortex generation and merging process: A case study associated with a post-landfall tropical depression
An observational analysis of satellite blackbody temperature (TBB) data and radar images suggests that the mesoscale vortex generation and merging process appeared to be essential for a tropical-depression-rel...

Seasonal variation of diurnal and semidiurnal rainfall over Southeast China
Diurnal (S1) and semidiurnal (S2) oscillations are major factors in determining the sub-daily variations of precipitation amount over Southeast China (PSEC). Most studies have examined the causes of S1(P)SEC and ...
