Evolution and Structure of the Mesoscale Convection and Its Environment: A Case Study during the Early Onset of the Southeast Asian Summer Monsoon
|
ABSTRACT
The evolution and structure of mesoseale convection in the South China Sea (SCS) region are documented for the lirst time mainly using the dual-Doppler radar dataset collected during the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) in 1998. In particular, this study focuses on the convection associated with a subtropical frontal passage during the early onset of the southeast Asian monsoon (SEAM).
For the case of 15 May 1998, interaction between the tropical monsoon flow...

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

Symmetry and Asymmetry of the Asian and Australian Summer Monsoons
Journal of Climate
; ABSTRACT The rainfalls associated with the Asian summer monsoon have significant correlation with succeeding Australian summer monsoon rainfalls. This is partly due to the typical life cycle of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phase locked with the annual cycle within an Asian monsoon year

Definition of South China Sea Monsoon Onset and Commencement of the East Asia Summer Monsoon*
Journal of Climate
; ABSTRACT The climatological mean summer monsoon onset in the South China Sea (SCS) is a remarkably abrupt event. However, defining onset dates for individual years is noticeably controversial. The controversies and complications arise primarily from a number of factors: the intermittent southward

The Annual Cycle, Intraseasonal Oscillations, and Roadblock to Seasonal Predictability of the Asian Summer Monsoon
Journal of Climate
; ABSTRACT Factors responsible for limited predictability of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) are investigated within a conceptual framework for predictability. Predictability of the seasonal mean depends on the interannual variability (IAV) of the monsoon annual cycle (MAC) and is determined by
