Characteristics of tropical cyclone activity over the South China Sea: Local and nonlocal tropical cyclones

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2020
The South China Sea (SCS) is affected by two types of tropical cyclones (TCs): those locally formed in the SCS (local TCs) and those traversing the SCS (nonlocal TCs).

Interdecadal Changes of Characteristics of Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification Over Western North Pacific

IEEE Access, 2020
This study investigates the interdecadal variations of rapid intensification (RI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) over Western North Pacific (WNP) during 1960-2016, TC variabilities associated with RI and the possible mechanisms for such variations are also ...

A New Hydroclimatic Signature: Negative NAO Dominance Under Weak La Niña Conditions During the 2025–2026 Northwest Africa Floods

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Conceptual hydroclimatic pathway linking the concurrent negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) phase and weak La Niña conditions to extreme February rainfall and flash flooding in Northwest Africa. ABSTRACT The winter of 2025–2026 in Morocco exhibited a rapid hydroclimatic transition from prolonged drought to widespread flooding, representing an ...

I: Remote Spectroscopic Measurements of Atmospheric HDO/H₂O and Column CO₂. II: Interannual Variations of the Earth’s Reflectance [PDF]

, 2003
The theme of this thesis is to apply remote sensing data on problems concerning the climate system. It is grouped into two parts. Part I (Chapters 1, 2) is devoted to spectroscopic measurements of HDO, H₂O and column CO₂, and Part II (Chapters 3-5) is ...

Causes of Interannual and Interdecadal Variations of the Summertime Pacific–Japan-Like Pattern over East Asia

, 2017
A Pacific–Japan (PJ) pattern index is defined based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis of summertime 500-hPa height in East Asia and precipitation in the tropical western North Pacific (WNP).

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Regional Heavy Rainfall Events in Guangdong, South China: Intensification and Expansion Since the Early 1990s

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Regional heavy rainfall events (RHREs) in Guangdong, South China, during 1961–2025 are reassessed using an improved strength index that integrates rainfall intensity, spatial extent and duration. Results reveal a post‐1991 shift towards more frequent and spatially extensive strong and extreme events, with June showing the most pronounced ...

A Tripole Index for the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation

, 2015
A new index is developed for the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, termed the IPO Tripole Index (TPI). The IPO is associated with a distinct ‘tripole’ pattern of sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA), with three large centres of action and variations ...

The Spring Drought in Yunnan Province of China: Variation Characteristics, Leading Impact Factors, and Physical Mechanisms

Atmosphere, 2023
Yunnan Province in Southwest China is vulnerable to droughts due to its distinctive topography and local climate. Spring drought in Yunnan (SDY), which accounts for 70% of all drought events, causes the most severe devastation. By examining the variation

Compound Meteorological and Hydrological Hot‐Dry and Hot‐Wet Extremes Over Global Land Areas: Spatiotemporal Changes, Attribution, and Drivers

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The changes in joint return period of compound meteorological hot‐dry (CMHHE) and hot‐wet (CMHWE) and compound hydrological hot‐dry (CHHDE) and hot‐wet (CHHWE) extremes were attributed to changes in associated univariate extremes and their dependence.

Recent strong inter-decadal change of Meiyu in 121-year variations

Water Science and Engineering, 2008
The strongest change in Meiyu periods in the mid-lower Yangtze Basin (MLY) since 1885 occurred in the late 1970s: a stage of weak Meiyu from 1958 to 1978 abruptly transformed into a stage of plentiful Meiyu from 1979 to 1999.
