The anticyclonic circulation shows some difference between 1998 and 1999, displaying earlier appearance, more northward position, and non-dipole pattern in 1998, suggesting that the interannual variability of the anticyclonic circulation is related to El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The effect...
This pattern is consistent with aerosol emissions and aerosol optical depth trends in these regions (Klimont et al., 2013; Quaas et al., 2022). By contrast, greenhouse gas forcing drives a positive shortwave radiation trend over the Arctic and Tibetan Plateau but has minimal impact over most ...
The sea encircling Antarctica acts as a huge mixer for water from all the ocean basins—and this circulating pattern influences the exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) between the ocean and the atmosphere. A study by an international team of researchers led by Dr. Torben Struve from the University...
Using a pattern-based detection and attribution analysis of atmospheric zonal wind, we show that the pause in circulation trends is forced by human activities, and has not occurred owing only to internal or natural variability of the climate system. Furthermore, we demonstrate that stratospheric ...
1) to address these issues, little is known until now from an integrated perspective about variations in the basin-scale surface currents that include the NPC and CC in terms of a clockwise circular pattern (Fig. 1a) and collectively compose the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) circulation...
The present study has investigated interannual variations in the tropical-subtropical Pacific Ocean by applying Helmholtz decomposition to wave energy flux
This pattern reflects anomalous meridional winds that introduce cold air to the eastern Indian and central Pacific. Surface waters are cooled and descend to increase the depth of the mixed layer (Gille, 2010). Strengthening westerly winds also enhance components of the SOMOC including: (1) ...
Another circulation pattern, which is significant only along the northern boundary of the basin, is the Kuroshio intrusion through the Luzon Strait in winter. Among the three passages along the eastern boundary, the Luzon Strait is the only opening where there is ...
Eastern China is part of the East and South Asian monsoon systems. Wildfires in this region vary dramatically in both space and time. Wildfires occur much more frequently in the south than in the north, while burned area has an opposite spatial pattern (Chang et al., 2015; Chen et al.,...
which are aligned within the waveguide of the westerly jet stream. This anomalous pattern of atmospheric circulation mainly occurs within the jet stream waveguide, resembling the well-known circumglobal teleconnection37,38. In this case, however, the centers for East Asia and the Indian regions are...
