Interannual variability of the Western North Pacific summer monsoon: Differences between ENSO and non-ENSO years

From: Journal of Climate | Date: July 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

ABSTRACT

The interannual variability of the western North Pacific (WNP) summer monsoon is examined for the non-ENSO, ENSO developing, and ENSO decaying years, respectively. The ENSO developing (decaying) year is defined as the year before (after) the mature phase of ENSO, and the non-ENSO year is defined as the year that is neither the ENSO developing year nor the ENSO decaying year. A strong (weak) WNP summer monsoon tends to occur during the El Nino (La Nina) developing year and a weak (strong) WNP summer monsoon tends to occur during the El Nino (La Nina) decaying year. In all non-ENSO, ...
