摘要
The combined effect of the Pacific–Japan (PJ) pattern and Mediterranean–northern Eurasia (MnE) pattern on East Asian surface air temperature (SAT) during summer is investigated using the Japanese 55-year reanalysis and Climatic Research Unit SAT data over the period of 1958–2016. The results show that the combination of the two patterns in different phases can result in different SAT anomalies. During the in-phase PJ-MnE years, the overlapping of opposite signs of the atmospheric circulations associated with the PJ and MnE patterns results in weak atmospheric circulation and SAT anomalies in central East Asia;during these years, the significant SAT anomalies are over northern East Asia. In contrast, during the out-of-phase PJ-MnE years, the overlapping of the same signs of the atmospheric circulations associated with the PJ and MnE patterns leads to significant atmospheric circulation and SAT anomalies in central East Asia and northern Asia. The analysis in this study indicates that to better understand and predict the variability of East Asian summer SATs, the combined effect of the PJ and MnE patterns should be taken into account.
本文研究发现太平洋–日本遥相关型(PJ)和地中海–欧亚北部遥相关型(MnE)对东亚夏季气温存在显著的协同影响。当PJ和MnE处于同位相时,两者相关的大气环流在东亚中部地区相互叠加抵消,从而对该地区气温的影响较弱,而此时显著的气温异常主要位于东亚北部。相反,当PJ和MnE处于反位相时,两者相关的大气环流在东亚地区相互叠加增强,从而对东亚中部和亚洲北部地区的气温产生显著影响。因此,在东亚夏季气温变化的理解与预测中需要考虑这两个遥相关的协同作用。
