Influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation on Antarctic surface air temperature during 1900 to 2015

The importance of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO)and Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation(IPO)in influencing zonally asymmetric changes in Antarctic surface air temperature(SAT)has been established.However,previous studies have primarily concentrated on examining the combined impact of the contrasting phases of the AMO and IPO,which have been dominant since the advent of satellite observations in 1979.This study utilizes long-term reanalysis data to investigate the impact of four combinations of+AMO+IPO,–AMO–IPO,+AMO–IPO,and–AMO+IPO on Antarctic SAT over the past 115 years.The+AMO phase is characterized by a spatial mean temperature amplitude of up to 0.5℃over the North Atlantic Ocean,accompanied by positive sea surface temperature(SST)anomalies in the tropical eastern Pacific and negative SST anomalies in the extratropical-mid-latitude western Pacific,which are indicative of the+IPO phase.The Antarctic SAT exhibits contrasting spatial patterns during the+AMO+IPO and+AMO–IPO periods.However,during the–AMO+IPO period,apart from the Antarctic Peninsula and the vicinity of the Weddell Sea,the entire Antarctic region experiences a warming trend.The most pronounced signal in the SAT anomalies is observed during the austral autumn,whereas the combination of–AMO and–IPO exhibits the smallest magnitude across all the combinations.The wavetrain excited by the SST anomalies associated with the AMO and IPO induces upper-level and surface atmospheric circulation anomalies,which alter the SAT anomalies.Furthermore,downward longwave radiation anomalies related to anomalous cloud cover play a crucial role.In the future,if the phases of AMO and IPO were to reverse(AMO transitioning to a negative phase and IPO transitioning to a positive phase),Antarctica could potentially face more pronounced warming and accelerated melting compared to the current observations.

Role of Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO) in winter intraseasonal variability over Ural

The modulation of winter intraseasonal variability(ISV)by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO)is investigated through three sets of reanalysis data and numerical experiments with the NCEP’s atmospheric general circulation model(AGCM).Results show that the positive phase of the AMO tends to intensify ISV activity over the northern Atlantic and shift ISV activity over the Ural Mountains toward the south,causing weakened ISV activity at 200 hPa in the north to the Urals and intensified activity in the south.The modulation of ISV activity by the AMO over the Urals is then explored through comparison of the composite evolution of anomalous ISV cases for the different AMO phases.Fewer ISV cases are found in the AMO positive phase than the negative phase,but no substantial difference in the temporal evolution of anomalous ISV events between the two opposing phases of the AMO.Thus,the AMO exerts its modulation through influencing the occurrence frequency of ISV events,rather than their development or evolution processes.A similar result is seen in the AGCM sensitivity experiments.

Simulated Influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation on Summer Eurasian Nonuniform Warming since the Mid-1990s

Based on ensemble experiments with three atmospheric general circulation models(AGCMs), this study investigates the role of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO) in shaping the summer nonuniform warming over the Eurasian continent since the mid-1990 s. The results validate that the positive-phase AMO can indeed cause nonuniform warming,with predominant amplified warming over Europe–West Asia and Northeast Asia, but with much weaker warming over Central Asia. The underlying mechanism is then diagnosed from the perspective that the boundary forcing modulates the intrinsic atmospheric variability. The results highlight the role of the Silk Road Pattern(SRP), an intrinsic teleconnection pattern across the subtropical Eurasian continent propagating along the Asian jet. The SRP can not only be identified from the AGCM control experiments with the climatological sea surface temperature(SST), but can also be simulated by the AMO-related SST anomaly(SSTA) forcing. Furthermore, diagnostic linear baroclinic model experiments are conducted, and the results suggest that the SRP can be triggered by the AMO-related tropical diabatic heating. The AMO-triggered SRP-like responses feature anticyclonic circulations over Europe–West Asia and Northeast Asia, but cyclonic circulation over Central Asia. These responses cause increased warm advection towards Europe–West Asia and Northeast Asia, reduced precipitation and cloud cover, and then increased downward shortwave radiation. This increased warm advection and increased downward shortwave radiation together cause amplified warming in Europe–West Asia and Northeast Asia. The situation is opposite for Central Asia.

Simulation by CMIP5 Models of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Its Climate Impacts

This study focuses on the climatic impacts of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation （AMO） as a mode of internal vari- ability. Given the difficulties involved in excluding the effects of external forcing from internal variation, i.e., owing to the short record length of instrumental observations and historical simulations, we assess and compare the AMO and its related climatic impacts both in observations and in the ＂Pre-industrial＂ experiments of models participating in CMIP5. First, we evaluate the skill of the 25 CMIP5 models＇ ＂Historical＂ simulations in simulating the observational AMO, and find there is generally a considerable range of skill among them in this regard. Six of the models with higher skill relative to the other models are selected to investigate the AMO-related climate impacts, and it is found that their ＂Pre-industrial＂ simulations capture the essential features of the AMO. A positive AMO favors warmer surface temperature around the North Atlantic, and the Atlantic ITCZ shifts northward leading to more rainfall in the Sahel and less rainfall in Brazil. Furthermore, the results confirm the existence of a teleconnection between the AMO and East Asian surface temperature, as well as the late withdrawal of the Indian summer monsoon, during positive AMO phases. These connections could be mainly caused by internal climate variability. Opposite patterns are true for the negative phase of the AMO.

Air–Sea Coupling Enhances the East Asian Winter Climate Response to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

A simple air-sea coupled model, the atmospheric general circulation model （AGCM） of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction coupled to a mixed-layer slab ocean model, is employed to investigate the impact of air-sea coupling on the signals of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation （AMO）. A regional coupling strategy is applied, in which coupling is switched off in the extratropical North Atlantic Ocean but switched on in the open oceans elsewhere. The coupled model is forced with warm-phase AMO SST anomalies, and the modeled responses are compared with those from parallel uncoupled AGCM experiments with the same SST forcing. The results suggest that the regionally coupled responses not only resemble the AGCM simulation, but also have a stronger intensity. In comparison, the coupled responses bear greater similarity to the observational composite anomaly. Thus, air-sea coupling enhances the responses of the East Asian winter climate to the AMO. To determine the mechanism responsible for the coupling amplification, an additional set of AGCM experiments, forced with the AMO-induced tropical SST anomalies, is conducted. The SST anomalies are extracted from the simulated AMO-induced SST response in the regionally coupled model. The results suggest that the SST anomalies contribute to the coupling amplification. Thus, tropical air-sea coupling feedback tends to enhance the responses of the East Asian winter climate to the AMO.

Modulation of the Aleutian–Icelandic Low Seesaw and Its Surface Impacts by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

Early studies suggested that the Aleutian–Icelandic low seesaw(AIS) features multidecadal variation. In this study, the multidecadal modulation of the AIS and associated surface climate by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO) during late winter(February–March) is explored with observational data. It is shown that, in the cold phase of the AMO(AMO|-),a clear AIS is established, while this is not the case in the warm phase of the AMO(AMO|+). The surface climate over Eurasia is significantly influenced by the AMO’s modulation of the Aleutian low(AL). For example, the weak AL in AMO|-displays warmer surface temperatures over the entire Far East and along the Russian Arctic coast and into Northern Europe,but only over the Russian Far East in AMO|+. Similarly, precipitation decreases over central Europe with the weak AL in AMO|-, but decreases over northern Europe and increases over southern Europe in AMO|+.The mechanism underlying the influence of AMO|-on the AIS can be described as follows: AMO|-weakens the upward component of the Eliassen–Palm flux along the polar waveguide by reducing atmospheric blocking occurrence over the Euro–Atlantic sector, and hence drives an enhanced stratospheric polar vortex. With the intensified polar night jet, the wave trains originating over the central North Pacific can propagate horizontally through North America and extend into the North Atlantic, favoring an eastward-extended Pacific–North America–Atlantic pattern, and resulting in a significant AIS at the surface during late winter.

Current Networks of Long Proxies for Building Reconstruction Models of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

Currently available proxies were studied as networks for building reconstruction models of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). Only proxies that would double the current record length (backwards in time from AD 1564) were included. We present two proxy networks and corresponding reconstruction (transfer) models, one for tree-growth based proxies only and another for multiproxies. Both of them show a useful match in timing as well as amplitude with the AMO. These model structures demonstrated reasonable model performance (overall r2 = 0.45 - 0.36). The time stability of proxy-AMO relationships was also validated. The new models produced acceptable results in cross-calibration-verification (reduction of error and coefficient of efficiency statistics in 1856-1921 and 1922-1990 vary between 0.41 and 0.21). The spatial distribution of these data series indicate that proxies respond to an AMO-like climatic oscillation over much of the Northern Hemisphere.

Interdecadal Modulation of AMO on the Winter North Pacific Oscillation-Following Winter ENSO Relationship

It is known that the wintertime North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) is an important extratropical forcing for the occurrence of an El Ni-o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event in the subsequent winter via the “seasonal footprinting mechanism ”(SFM). This study reveals that the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) can notably modulate the relationship between the winter NPO and the following winter ENSO. During the negative AMO phase, the winter NPO has significant impacts on the following winter ENSO via the SFM. In contrast, the influence of the winter NPO on ENSO is not robust at all during the positive AMO phase. Winter NPO-generated westerly wind anomalies over the equatorial western Pacific during the following spring are much stronger during negative than positive AMO phases. It is suggested that the AMO impacts the winter NPO-induced equatorial westerly winds over the western Pacific via modulating the precipitation climatology over the tropical central Pacific and via modulating the connection of the winter NPO with spring sea surface temperature in the tropical North Atlantic.

Two regimes of Atlantic multidecadal oscillation: cross-basin dependent or Atlantic-intrinsic

The Atlantic Multidedal Oscillation(AMO) is a prominent mode of sea surface temperature variability in the Atlantic and incurs significant global influence. Most coupled models failed to reproduce the observed 50–80-year AMO, but were overwhelmed by a 10–30-year AMO. Here we show that the 50–80-year AMO and 10–30-year AMO represent two different AMO regimes. The key differences are:(1) the 50–80-year AMO involves transport of warm and saline Atlantic water into the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian(GIN)Seas prior to reaching its maximum positive phase, while such a transport is weak for the 10–30-year AMO;(2) the zonality of atmospheric variability associated with the 50–80 year AMO favors the transport of warm and saline water into the GIN Seas;(3) the disappearance of Pacific variability weakens the zonality of atmospheric variability and the transport of warm and saline water into the GIN Seas, leading to the weakening of the 50–80-year AMO. In contrast, the 10–30-year AMO does not show dependence on the variability in Pacific and in the GIN Seas and may be an Atlantic-intrinsic mode. Our results suggest that differentiating these AMO regimes and a better understanding of the cross-basin connections are essential to reconcile the current debate on the nature of AMO and hence to its reliable prediction, which is still lacking in most of coupled models.

Influence of the NAO on Wintertime Surface Air Temperature over East Asia:Multidecadal Variability and Decadal Prediction

In this paper,we investigate the influence of the winter NAO on the multidecadal variability of winter East Asian surface air temperature(EASAT)and EASAT decadal prediction.The observational analysis shows that the winter EASAT and East Asian minimum SAT(EAmSAT)display strong in-phase fluctuations and a significant 60-80-year multidecadal variability,apart from a long-term warming trend.The winter EASAT experienced a decreasing trend in the last two decades,which is consistent with the occurrence of extremely cold events in East Asia winters in recent years.The winter NAO leads the detrended winter EASAT by 12-18 years with the greatest significant positive correlation at the lead time of 15 years.Further analysis shows that ENSO may affect winter EASAT interannual variability,but does not affect the robust lead relationship between the winter NAO and EASAT.We present the coupled oceanic-atmospheric bridge(COAB)mechanism of the NAO influences on winter EASAT multidecadal variability through its accumulated delayed effect of~15 years on the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO)and Africa-Asia multidecadal teleconnection(AAMT)pattern.An NAO-based linear model for predicting winter decadal EASAT is constructed on the principle of the COAB mechanism,with good hindcast performance.The winter EASAT for 2020-34 is predicted to keep on fluctuating downward until~2025,implying a high probability of occurrence of extremely cold events in coming winters in East Asia,followed by a sudden turn towards sharp warming.The predicted 2020/21 winter EASAT is almost the same as the 2019/20 winter.

Response of North Pacific and North Atlantic decadal variability to weak global warming

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation （PDO） and the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability （AMV） are the two dominant low-frequency modes in the climate system. This research focused on the response of these two modes under weak global warming. Observational data were derived from the Hadley Center Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature dataset （HadISST） and coupled model outputs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 （CMIP5）. Changes in PDO and AMV were examined using four models （bcc-csml-1, CCSM4, IPSL-CM5A-LR, and MPI- ESM-LR） with long weak global warming scenarios （RCP2.6）. These models captured the two low-frequency modes in both pre-industrial run and RCP2.6 run. Under weak global warming, the time scales of PDO and AMV significantly decreased while the amplitude only slightly decreased. Interestingly, the standard deviation of the North Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly （SSTA） decreased only in decadal time scale, and that of the North Atlantic SSTA decreased both in interannual and decadal time scales. The coupled system consists of a slow ocean component, which has a decadal time scale, and a fast atmospheric component, which is calculated by subtracting the decadal from the total. Results suggest that under global warming, PDO change is dominated by ocean dynamics, and AMV change is dominated by ocean dynamics and stochastic atmosphere forcing.

Recent Decrease in the Difference in Tropical Cyclone Occurrence between the Atlantic and the Western North Pacific

Climatologically,among all ocean basins,the western North Pacific(WNP)has the largest annual number of tropical cyclones(TCs)of around 26 while the Atlantic has around 13,yielding a difference of 13.However,the difference is-7 in 2020,with 30 TCs in the Atlantic and 23 in the WNP,which is the most negative difference within the last 46 years.In fact,during the last 26 years,the difference in TC number is below 10 in ten years,with four years being negative.Such a decreasing difference in TC number can be attributed to the natural multidecadal variation of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation,as well as other external forcings such as anthropogenic aerosol forcing and increased greenhouse gases,with the additional impact from the La Niña condition.This result has significant implications on climate model projections of future TC activity in the two ocean basins.

大西洋多年代际振荡对东亚气候影响的综述

本文综述了近年来有关大西洋多年代际振荡(AMO)及其对东亚气候影响的研究进展,主要包括AMO的形成机制与指数定义、AMO对东亚夏季和冬季气候的影响、AMO与其他大洋的协同作用。目前,关于AMO的形成机制仍有不同意见,传统观点认为AMO是气候系统内部过程尤其是大西洋经向翻转流造成的,但近期有工作指出AMO是气溶胶、火山喷发等外强迫驱动产生或是海洋对大气随机强迫的一种响应。AMO可以通过三种途径调制东亚夏季气候,当AMO处于正位相时,东亚夏季风加强、降水增多、气温升高,反之亦然。同时,AMO正位相有利于东亚冬季风偏强,欧亚大陆中纬度及中国北方偏冷;负位相时则大体相反。鉴于AMO的重要作用,加深理解AMO形成机制及其对东亚气候影响有益于提升东亚气候的年代际预测水平。

1961~2020年中国区域不同等级降水的变化趋势及其可能成因

已有的研究表明,增暖背景下全球降水的格局发生了变化,弱降水总体呈减小趋势,而强降水在一些区域呈明显的增加趋势。但在区域尺度上不同等级强度降水的变化还缺乏系统的研究。本文基于中国838个气象站点的降水资料,研究了1961~2020年来中国弱降水、中等强度降水和极端降水长期变化趋势及其年代际分量与年代际海温振荡型的关联性。结果表明:中国不同等级降水变化的空间分布差异较大。弱降水仅在西北西部和青藏高原地区以增加为主,在华南和西南地区以显著减少为主;中等强度降水在西南地区东部以显著减少为主,在其余地区以增长为主;强降水在大部分地区呈现增长趋势,仅在京津冀和重庆部分地区呈现减少趋势。中国大部分地区的弱降水量(日数)对总降水的贡献率以减少为主,中等强度降水日数、强降水量(日数)的贡献率以显著增长为主,各区域强降水贡献率与中等强度降水和弱降水贡献率呈相反的年代际变化。其中,弱降水日数和中等强度降水日数的变化主导了总降水日数的变化,中等强度降水量和强降水量的变化主导了总降水量的变化。进一步研究发现,在年代际尺度上,中国大部分地区的不同等级降水与太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)的相关系数随等级增大而趋于负值,与大西洋多年代际振荡(AMO)的相关系数则随等级增大而趋于正值。各区域不同等级降水与PDO/AMO相关关系的年代际突变主要发生在1980年代至1990年代。

北大西洋年代际振荡(AMO)气候影响的研究评述

北大西洋年代际振荡(theAtlantic Multidecadal Oscillation,AMO)是发生在北大西洋区域空间上具有海盆尺度、时间上具有多十年尺度的海表温度(sea surface temperature,SST)准周期性暖冷异常变化。它具有65～80a周期,振幅为0.4℃。AMO的形成与热盐环流的准周期性振荡有关,它是气候系统的一种自然变率。诸多研究表明,AMO在北大西洋局地气候及全球其他区域气候演变中发挥了重要影响。欧亚大陆的表面气温,美国大陆、巴西东北部、西非以及南亚的降水,北大西洋飓风等都与之密切相关。AMO对东亚季风气候的年代际变化有显著的调制作用,暖位相AMO增强东亚夏季风,减弱冬季风,冷位相则相反。本文总结了这方面的研究进展,讨论了AMO对未来气候预测的意义,认为最近20多年来我国冬季的显著增暖与AMO处于暖位相有关,是人类温室气体强迫与暖位相AMO(自然因子)两种增暖影响相叠加的结果。随着AMO逐渐转入冷位相,我国冬季变暖趋势将放慢,并有望于21世纪20年代中期逆转。

The Role of Underlying Boundary Forcing in Shaping the Recent Decadal Change of Persistent Anomalous Activity over the Ural Mountains

Observational analyses demonstrate that the Ural persistent positive height anomaly event(PAE) experienced a decadal increase around the year 2000, exhibiting a southward displacement afterward. These decadal variations are related to a large-scale circulation shift over the Eurasian Continent. The effects of underlying sea ice and sea surface temperature(SST) anomalies on the Ural PAE and the related atmospheric circulation were explored by Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project(AMIP) experiments from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 and by sensitivity experiments using the Atmospheric General Circulation Model(AGCM). The AMIP experiment results suggest that the underlying sea ice and SST anomalies play important roles. The individual contributions of sea ice loss in the Barents-Kara Seas and the SST anomalies linked to the phase transition of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation(PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation(AMO) are further investigated by AGCM sensitivity experiments isolating the respective forcings.The sea ice decline in Barents-Kara Seas triggers an atmospheric wave train over the Eurasian mid-to-high latitudes with positive anomalies over the Urals, favoring the occurrence of Ural PAEs. The shift in the PDO to its negative phase triggers a wave train propagating downstream from the North Pacific. One positive anomaly lobe of the wave train is located over the Ural Mountains and increases the PAE there. The negative-to-positive transition of the AMO phase since the late-1990s causes positive 500-h Pa height anomalies south of the Ural Mountains, which promote a southward shift of Ural PAE.

全球变暖、AMO、IPO对全球陆地降水变化的相对贡献

本文探究了不同海表温度(SST)模态对6—8月和12月—次年2月全球陆地降水的趋势以及年代际变化的相对贡献。首先对热带地区陆地降水和SST进行SVD分析,得到影响陆地降水的趋势和年代际变化主要的海洋模态为:海洋中的全球变暖(Global Warming,GW)、大西洋多年代际振荡(Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation,AMO)和太平洋多年代际振荡(Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation,IPO)。其次利用多元线性回归模型进一步定量评估了全球变暖、AMO和IPO对不同地区陆地降水的相对贡献大小。结果表明,全球变暖对陆地降水变化的贡献在冬夏季都是最大的,AMO在6—8月的贡献次之。IPO在12月—次年2月的贡献次之。不同纬度带,三者的贡献不同。GW的贡献在6—8月期间对10°N以北地区较大,南半球受GW的贡献相对较小,GW在12月—次年2月对40°N以北降水贡献异常显著;AMO主要在6—8月对10°~40°S和50°~60°S纬度带上的降水变化的贡献比较大;而IPO主要在12月—次年2月对北半球中纬度降水变化的贡献比较大。GW对许多地区降水变化的方差贡献都是最大的,例如6—8月期间,对北美洲东北部和亚洲降水变化贡献最大,12月—次年2月期间,对欧洲降水变化贡献最大。AMO对6—8月降水变化的方差贡献最大的区域为非洲萨赫勒、西伯利亚和南美洲。12月—次年2月期间,IPO对美国西南部的降水变化贡献最大,此外,北美洲东北部、南美洲西北部、非洲南部、澳大利亚东部、南亚季风区和我国北部的降水在12月—次年2月期间同样受IPO影响显著。进一步利用信息流的方法,探究了GW、AMO和IPO与陆地降水变化之间的因果关系,验证了上述结论。

北大西洋多年代际振荡(AMO)对南海夏季风撤退年代际变率的影响及可能机理

基于美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)物理科学实验室(PSL)和科罗拉多大学环境科学研究所(CIRES)重建的NOAA-CIRES 20th再分析数据和国际综合海洋大气数据集(ICOADS)的全球月海表温度数据(ERSST),并结合数值试验分析了南海夏季风撤退的年代际变率特征及北大西洋多年代际振荡(AMO)对其产生的影响。结果表明,南海夏季风撤退时间具有明显的年代际变率,南海夏季风撤退偏晚(早)年代中国南海及其附近区域上空有显著的气旋性(反气旋性)环流异常,降水偏多(少)。进一步研究发现,AMO与南海夏季风撤退年代际变率呈显著正相关,即AMO为正位相时,南海夏季风撤退偏晚;AMO为负位相时,南海夏季风撤退偏早。北大西洋海温升高(即AMO位于正位相),从海洋释放更多的热通量到大气,导致北大西洋上空对流层的对流活动明显增强,通过海-气相互作用激发北大西洋上空的波活动异常,进而影响与东北亚关键区域大气环流变化密切相关的中纬度欧亚遥相关波列的形成和传播,引起东北亚关键区的正位势高度异常和明显的下沉运动,并在其对流层低层产生辐散运动,能量伴随着偏北的辐散风气流传播至中国南海及邻近区域辐合上升,进一步加强了南海区域的气旋性环流异常,使得南海夏季风撤退偏晚。AMO负位相时,异常情况与之大致相反,使得南海夏季风撤退偏早。

新疆参考作物蒸散发趋势转折与大尺度气候变率的关系

参考作物蒸散发(reference crop evapotranspiration,ET_(0))能够全面反映一个地区的蒸散发能力,在农业高效节水灌溉等领域得到了广泛应用。近年来大多数研究通常将ET_(0)与局地气象因子的变化进行敏感性分析,忽略了大尺度气候变率对ET_(0)的遥相关影响。该研究基于新疆地区84个气象站点的逐日气象资料和气候变率指数,采用多元线性回归和Cramer’s突变检验等方法,探究了厄尔尼诺南方涛动(El Nino-Southern Oscillation,ENSO)、印度洋偶极子(Indian Ocean Dipole,IOD)、太平洋年代际振荡(Pacific Decadal Oscillation,PDO)和北大西洋多年代际振荡(Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation,AMO)等大尺度气候变率与新疆地区ET_(0)趋势转折的关系。结果表明:1960—2020年ET_(0)总体呈下降趋势,平均递减率为0.75 mm/a;1998年为ET_(0)的突变点,ET_(0)在1960—1997年呈明显减小趋势,平均递减率为2.50 mm/a,在1998—2020年转为明显上升趋势,平均递增速率为3.18 mm/a。PDO是影响ET_(0)趋势转折的主要气候变率,两者回归系数为−0.34,PDO在1998年由正位相转为负位相,导致风速由下降趋势转为上升趋势,同时AMO由负位相转为正位相增强了风速的趋势转折,进而导致了新疆地区ET_(0)在1998年的趋势转变(ENSO和IOD对风速的影响相对较弱)。海表面温度(sea surface temperature,SST)和ET_(0)的空间回归结果表现为PDO负位相,进一步验证了PDO对新疆地区ET_(0)趋势转折的影响。研究揭示了大尺度气候变率在年代际尺度ET_(0)变化特征和趋势转折中的主导作用,可为蒸散发理论研究提供新思路。

Effects of Large-Scale Climatic Oscillations on the Variability of the Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall

In India,large-scale climatic oscillations have strong influences on the Indian summer monsoon rainfall(ISMR),which plays a crucial role in India’s agricultural production and economic growth.However,there are limited studies in India that explore the influences of decadal and multidecadal oscillations on the ISMR and associated El Niño–Southern Oscillation(ENSO).Therefore,in this study we carried out a comprehensive and detailed investigation to understand the influences of ENSO,Pacific decadal oscillation(PDO),and Atlantic multidecadal oscillation(AMO)on ISMR across different regions in India.The statistical significance of ISMR associated with different phases(positive/warm and negative/cold)of ENSO,PDO,and AMO(individual analysis),and combined ENSO–AMO,and ENSO–PDO(coupled analysis)were analysed by using the nonparametric Wilcoxon Rank Sum(WRS)test.The individual analysis results indicate that in addition to the ENSO teleconnection,AMO and PDO significantly affect the spatial patterns of ISMR.Coupled analysis was performed to understand how the phase shift of PDO and AMO has modulated the rainfall during El Niño and La Niña phases.The results indicate that the La Niña associated with a positive PDO phase caused excessive precipitation of about 21%–150%in the peninsular,west–central,and hilly regions compared to the individual effect of ENSO/PDO/AMO on ISMR;similarly,the west–central,coastal,and northwest regions received 15%–56%of excessive rainfall.Moreover,during the El Niño combined with PDO positive(AMO positive),above-normal precipitation was observed in hilly,northeast,and coastal(hilly,northeast,west–central,and coastal)regions,opposite to the results obtained from the individual ENSO analysis.This study emphasizes the importance of accounting the decadal and multidecadal forcing when examining variations in the ISMR during different phases of ENSO events.
