摘要
The relationship of Kuroshio sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in theprevious winter and summer rainfall in China was analyzed based on observational studies andnumerical simulations. Observational results indicate that there is a close relation betweenKuroshio SSTA and precipitation in China. When Kuroshio SSTA is positive, the western Pacificsubtropical high will be stronger and extend farther westward in, the following summer, with Asiansummer monsoon weaker and the frontal precipitation further southward. As a result, summerprecipitation increases (decreases) in the mid-lower reaches of the Yangtze River (in North andNortheast China), and vice versa. Conclusions drawn by NCAR-CCM3 testify the observational results.
