This study first analyzed the characteristics of the temporal and spatial distribution of global subduction rate, which revealed that the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation region and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current region are the two main sea areas with great subduction variations.On this basis, four key areas were selected to explore the relationship between the local subduction rate and the global mean sea surface temperature. In addition, the reason for the variations in subduction rate was preliminarily explored. The results show good correspondence of the subduction of the key areas in the North Atlantic meridional overturning the circulation region and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current region to the global warming hiatus, with the former leading by about 10 years. The subduction process may be a physical mechanism by which the North Atlantic overturning circulation and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current act on the stagnation of global warming. Advection effect plays an important role in the variations in subduction in the key regions. In the Antarctic Circumpolar Current region, the magnitude of sea surface wind stress is closely related to the local changes in subduction.展开更多

Understanding the decadal variation of the ISO is important for improving subseasonal prediction;however, there is still a gap in our knowledge of ISO dynamics. Here, we presented a method, an Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis of 11-year-sliding ISO evolution, to objectively detect decadal variation of the ISO originated from the equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO) during 1979–2016. The results show that the properties of ISO have a notable decadal change since 1998 for both boreal summer and boreal winter seasons, mainly in its evolution rather than in its intensity at origin. During the pre-1998 epoch, the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO), was confined to the Indian Ocean;since 1998, however, it propagated northeastward across the Maritime Continent (MC) and the intraseasonal variability over the western North Pacific was significant enhanced. On the other hand, the boreal-winter ISO, usually known as Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) shows minor changes in MC ‘barrier effect’ between the two epochs, and continuously propagates eastward across the MC. The MJO only shows suppressed activity over the central equatorial Pacific in the post-1998 epoch. These decadal changes are related to the eastern Pacific cooling during the ‘global warming hiatus’ period rather than to the four-decade global warming. Results here provide a set of potential precursors for foreseeing ISO propagation under different mean states.展开更多
