ABSTRACT

The East Asian summer monsoon (Mei-yu) disturbance of 17-25 June 1992 was the most intense 850-hPa low center of such systems during a 7-yr period. Due to the moisture fluxes associated with the southwesterlies from the warm tropical oceans, diabatic heating has generally been considered the main ...
