The CLIVAR C20C Project: Which components of the Asian-Australian monsoon circulation variations are forced and reproducible? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A multi-model set of atmospheric simulations forced by historical sea surface temperature (SST) or SSTs plus Greenhouse gases and aerosol forcing agents for the period of 1950–1999 is studied to identify and understand which components of the Asian ...

Research on the Influence of SST in Different Regions on the Interannual Variability of Winter Fog Days over Eastern China

open access: yesGaoyuan qixiang
Based on observational data, it is evident that fog occurrence in Eastern China is notably higher during winter compared to other months.Spatial analysis of climatological statistics reveals a distinct heterogeneity, dividing Eastern China into northern ...

Tropical Cyclones [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The term 'Cyclone' derived from a Greek word meaning the coil of a snake, is used for tropical revolving storms occurring in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. These storms are confined to definite regions of the earth and occur, for the most part,

A zoogeographical analysis of the rissoinine fauna of the eastern Pacific with special reference to a comparison with the Caribbean fauna and with a checklist of the eastern Pacific Rissoininae Stimpson, 1865 (Mollusca: Gastropoda) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
This paper reviews the faunal composition of the Rissoininae of the eastern Pacific. The number of rissoinine species has been estimated between 29 and 31, of which the vast majority occurs in the tropical part of the eastern Pacific.

Recent Walker Circulation strengthening and Pacific cooling amplified by Atlantic warming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
An unprecedented strengthening of Pacific trade winds since the late 1990s (ref. 1) has caused widespread climate perturbations, including rapid sea-level rise in the western tropical Pacific, strengthening of Indo-Pacific ocean currents, and an ...

Revealing the hidden link of the Walker circulation on heavy rainfall patterns in the Eastern Pacific

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Understanding the relationship between tropical heavy rainfall and large-scale circulation provides valuable insights for improving the climate models. Here we use Gaussian Mixture Model to identify two distinct types of heavy rainfall over the tropical ...

Influence of Asian-Pacific Oscillation on Precipitation in Central Eastern China during Autumn (1960–2016)

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2019
The Asian-Pacific Oscillation (APO) plays an important role in precipitation in Central Eastern China (CEC). This study analyzed observational and reanalysis data to investigate CEC precipitation during autumn (1960–2016) and its association with the APO.

Thermocline topography, horizontal currents and “ridging” in the Eastern Tropical Pacific [PDF]

open access: yes, 1958
ENGLISH: A primary objective of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission is a knowledge of the ecology of tunas which inhabit the Eastern Tropical Pacific. This paper presents some results of the work in physical oceanography, which, it is hoped, will

Coral Reef Bioerosion in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

open access: yes, 2016
Bioerosion, the weakening and erosion of hard substrates by boring, etching, and grazing organisms, is a major structuring force on coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP). Bioerosional processes are the main source of reef erosion, and facilitate recycling of reefal carbonate. In healthy reefs, a dynamic balance exists between destructive (i.

Atmospheric forcing of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review

open access: yesProgress in Oceanography, 2006
Abstract The increase in marine, land surface, atmospheric and satellite data during recent decades has led to an improved understanding of the air–sea interaction processes in the eastern tropical Pacific. This is also thanks to extensive diagnoses from conceptual and coupled ocean–atmosphere numerical models.
