Influence of the Western Pacific teleconnection pattern on Western North Pacific tropical cyclone activity

Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans, 2012
Abstract This study analyzes the characteristics of Western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclone (TC) activity and large-scale environments according to the Western Pacific (WP) teleconnection pattern in summer. In the positive WP phase, an anomalous cyclone and an anomalous anticyclone develop in the low and middle latitudes of the East Asia area ...

Decadal Variability of the Anticyclone in the Western North Pacific

Journal of Climate, 2020
AbstractThe western North Pacific anomalous anticyclone (WNPAC) significantly affects East Asian climate. Previous studies have elucidated interannual variability of the WNPAC associated with El Niño, but decadal variability of the WNPAC remains unknown.

Interannual variability of western North Pacific SST anomalies and its impact on North Pacific and North America

Climate Dynamics, 2017
In this study, the interannual variability of sea surface temperature (SST) and its atmospheric teleconnection over the western North Pacific (WNP) toward the North Pacific/North America during boreal winter are investigated. First, we defined the WNP mode as the first empirical orthogonal function (EOF) mode of SST anomalies over the WNP region (100 ...

Splitting of the subtropical gyre in the western North Pacific

Journal of Oceanography, 1978
Examined here is a hypothetical idea of the splitting of the subtropical gyre in the western North Pacific on the basis of two independent sources of data,i.e., the long-term mean geopotential-anomaly data compiled by the Japanese Oceanographic Data Center and the synoptic hydrographic (STD) data taken by the Hakuho Maru in the source region of the ...

Plutonium in sea waters of the western North Pacific

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2001
Plutonium concentrations in seawater of the western North Pacific observed over the period from 1985 to 1997 are reported. In the 1990's, surface 239,240Pu concentrations in the western North Pacific were relatively homogeneous (around 3 mBq/m3), although surface 239,240Pu before the 1980's showed a latitudinal distribution with highs in mid-latitudes ...

North Pacific sea ice cover, a predictor for the Western North Pacific typhoon frequency?

Science in China Series D: Earth Sciences, 2007
The relationship between the sea ice cover in the North Pacific and the typhoon frequency has been studied in this paper. It follows that the index for the sea ice cover in the North Pacific (ISA) both in December-January-February (DJF) and in March-April-May (MAM) is negatively correlated with annual typhoon number over the western North Pacific ...

Selective Reconnaissance Program of the Western North Pacific

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1975
Faced with the loss, in November 1971, of the tropical cyclone reconnaissance provided by the U.S. Navy's Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron One and proposed reductions in the U.S. Air Force's 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron on Guam, a Technique Development Program was established by personnel of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP ...

Evidence of subsidence of seamounts in the north-western Pacific

Marine Geophysical Researches, 1972
The subsidence of seamounts in the northwestern Pacific is suggested from the unexpected high vesicularity of submarine basaltic rocks which were dredged from great depths. There exists a tendency that the closer the seamount is situated to the trench axis, the greater the amount of subsidence becomes.
