季风的季节、年际和年代际变化

REVIEW OF VARIATIONS OF THE SUMMER MONSOON FROM SEASONAL TO INTERANNUAL AND INTERDECADAL SCALES

区域季风和全球季风的分布依赖于季风的定义。基于“季风是热带大气水汽中心随越赤道气流向赤道外季节扩展”的定义总结并讨论了东亚季风的区域特征、亚洲季风的季节进程和全球季风的分布以及季风的年际和年代际变化。最后对季风研究的潜在方向作了适当的讨论。

Domains of regional monsoon depend on various definitions of the summer monsoon. A definition was proposed in previous studies that the summer monsoon in the subtropics could be defined as the expansions of tropical wet centers accompanying cross-equatorial monsoon flows. Based on this definition, regional features of the East Asian monsoon, seasonal march of the Asian summer monsoon, the global monsoon distribution, monsoon interannual-interdecadal variations are reviewed. The relationship between sea surface temperature and monsoon anomalies, and the northernmost boundary of the summer monsoon are discussed in this paper.
