Through shipping and transport industry voting, COSCO has overcome strong competition on the Australia/East Asia trade to become winner of Customer Service Award. Other awards include three Highly Commended Award for Customer Service on the Australia/North Asia trade, and Sailing Schedule Reliability on both Australia/East Asia and North Asia trades. This is the sixth time for COSCO to be rewarded by Australian shipping industry. The awards show展开更多

In the weak EAWM year, the SSTA pattern is quite different and shows El Nio-like SSTanomalies. The strong EAWM activity tends to create extra easterly flow to the east and extra westerly flow to the west of the warm SSTA region over the equatorial western and central Pacific, thus leading to the enhancement of convergence and convection of the flow in this region and favorable to the maintenance and development of such an SSTA pattern. On the other hand, the warm SST anomaly over the western and central Pacific, as a forcing, may lead to a specific pattern of the northern extratropical atmosphere, which is favorable to the strong展开更多
