The Summer Monsoon Onset over the Tropical Eastern Indian Ocean: The Earliest Onset Process of the Asian Summer Monsoon

The onset process of the tropical eastern Indian Ocean （TEIO） summer monsoon （TEIOSM） and its relationship with the cross-equatorial flows are investigated via climatological analysis. Climatologically, results indicate that the earliest onset process of the Asian summer monsoon occurs over the TEIO at pentad 22 （April 15-20）. Unlike the abrupt onset of the South China Sea （SCS） summer monsoon, the TEIOSM onset process displays a stepwise advance. Moreover, a close relationship between the TEIOSM development and the northward push of the cross-equatorial flows over 80^-90~E is revealed. A difference vorticity center, together with the counterpart over the southern Indian Ocean, constitutes a pair of difference cyclonic vortices, which strengthens the southwesterly wind over the TEIO and the northerly wind to the west of the Indian Peninsula from the end of March to late May. Therefore, the occurrence of the southwesterly wind over the TEIO is earlier than its counterpart over the tropical western Indian Ocean, and the cross-equatorial flows emerge firstly over the TEIO rather than over the Somali area. The former increases in intensity during its northward propagation, which provides a precondition for the TEIOSM onset and its northward advance.

Relationship between Indian Ocean dipole and ENSO and their connection with the onset of South China Sea summer monsoon

Using Reynolds and Smith 1950 - 1998 re-constructed monthly-mean SST to discuss the relationship between the ENSO and Indian Ocean dipole （IOD） and their possible connection with the onset of South China Sea summer monsoon（ SCSSM）, the results are obtained as follows ： Most of IOD events have a closely positive relation to simultaneous ENSO events in summer and autumn. IOD events in autumn （ mature phase） are also closely related to ENSO events in winter （ mature phase）. When these two kinds of events happen in phase, i.e. , positive （negative） IOD events are coupled with E1 Nifío （La Nifía） events, they are always followed by late （ or early） onsets of SCSSM. On the contrary, when these two kinds of events happen out of phase, i.e. positive （negative） IOD events are coupled with La Nifia （ E1 Nifío） events, they are followed by normal onsets of SCSSM. In addition, single IOD events or single ENSO events cannot correspond well to the abnormal onset of SCSSM.

Response of the South China Sea summer monsoon onset to air-sea heat fluxes over the Indian Ocean

We objectively define the onset date of the South China Sea (SCS) summer monsoon, after having evaluated previous studies and considered various factors. Then, interannual and interdecadal characteristics of the SCS summer monsoon onset are analyzed. In addition, we calculate air-sea heat fluxes over the Indian Ocean using the advanced method of CORARE3.0, based on satellite remote sensing data. The onset variation cycle has remarkable interdecadal variability with cycles of 16 a and 28 a. Correlation analysis between air-sea heat fluxes in the Indian Ocean and the SCS summer monsoon indicates that there is a remarkable lag correlation between them. This result has important implications for prediction of the SCS summer monsoon, and provides a scientific basis for further study of the onset process of this monsoon and its prediction. Based on these results, a linear regression equation is obtained to predict the onset date of the monsoon in 2011 and 2012. The forecast is that the onset date of 2011 will be normal or 1 pentad earlier than the normal year, while the onset date in 2012 will be 1-2 pentads later.

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AUTUMN INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE MODE AND THE STRENGTH OF SCS SUMMER MONSOON

Based on 1948 - 2004 monthly Reynolds Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and NCEP/NCAR atmospheric reanalysis data, the relationships between autumn Indian Ocean Dipole Mode (IODM) and the strength of South China Sea (SCS) Summer Monsoon are investigated through the EOF and smooth correlation methods. The results are as the following. (1) There are two dominant modes of autumn SSTA over the tropical Indian Ocean. They are the uniformly signed basin-wide mode (USBM) and Indian Ocean dipole mode (IODM), respectively. The SSTA associated with USBM are prevailing decadal to interdecadal variability characterized by a unanimous pattern, while the IODM mainly represents interannual variability of SSTA. (2) When positive (negative) IODM exists over the tropical Indian Ocean during the preceding fall, the SCS summer monsoon will be weak (strong). The negative correlation between the interannual variability of IODM and that of SCS summer monsoon is significant during the warm phase of long-term trend but insignificant during the cool phase. (3) When the SCS summer monsoon is strong (weak), the IODM will be in its positive (negative) phase during the following fall season. The positive correlation between the interannual variability of SCS summer monsoon and that of IODM is significant during both the warm and cool phase of the long-term trend, but insignificant during the transition between the two phases.

THE WARMING MECHANISM IN THE SOUTHERN ARABIAN SEA DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE EVENTS

This study aims to explore the relative role of oceanic dynamics and surface heat fluxes in the warming of southern Arabian Sea and southwest Indian Ocean during the development of Indian Ocean Dipole(IOD) events by using National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research(NCEP/NCAR) daily reanalysis data and Global Ocean Data Assimilation System(GODAS) monthly mean ocean reanalysis data from 1982 to2013,based on regression analysis,Empirical Orthogonal Function(EOF) analysis and combined with a 21/2layer dynamic upper-ocean model.The results show that during the initial stage of IOD events,warm downwelling Rossby waves excited by an anomalous anticyclone over the west Indian Peninsula,southwest Indian Ocean and southeast Indian Ocean lead to the warming of the mixed layer by reducing entrainment cooling.An anomalous anticyclone over the west Indian Peninsula weakens the wind over the Arabian Sea and Somali coast,which helps decrease the sea surface heat loss and shallow the surface mixed layer,and also contributes to the sea surface temperature(SST) warming in the southern Arabian Sea by inhibiting entrainment.The weakened winds increase the SST along the Somali coast by inhibiting upwelling and zonal advection.The wind and net sea surface heat flux anomalies are not significant over the southwest Indian Ocean.During the antecedent stage of IOD events,the warming of the southern Arabian Sea is closely connected with the reduction of entrainment cooling caused by the Rossby waves and the weakened wind.With the appearance of an equatorial easterly wind anomaly,the warming of the southwest Indian Ocean is not only driven by weaker entrainment cooling caused by the Rossby waves,but also by the meridional heat transport carried by Ekman flow.The anomalous sea surface heat flux plays a key role to damp the warming of the west pole of the IOD.

Remote forcing of Indian Ocean warming on Northwest Pacific during El Nio decaying years:a FOAM model approach

This paper attempts to analyze in detail the remote influence of the Indian Ocean Basin warming on the Northwest Pacific(NWP) during the year of decaying El Ni o.Observation data and the Fast Ocean- Atmosphere coupled Model 1.5 were used to investigate the triggering conditions under which the remote influence is formed between the positive sea surface temperature(SST) anomaly in the North Indian Ocean and the Anomalous Northwest Pacific anticyclone(ANWPA).Our research show that it is only when there is a contributory background wind field over the Indian Ocean,i.e.,when the Indian Summer Monsoon(ISM) reaches its peak,that the warmer SST anomaly in the North Indian Ocean incites significant easterly wind anomalies in the lower atmosphere of the Indo-West tropical Pacific.This then produces the remote influence on the ANWPA.Therefore,the SST anomaly in the North Indian Ocean might interfere with the prediction of the East Asia Summer Monsoon in the year of decaying El Ni o.Both the sustaining effect of local negative SST anomalies in the NWP,and the remote effect of positive SST anomalies in the North Indian Ocean on the ANWPA,should be considered in further research.

Differences in Atmospheric Heat Source between the Tibetan Plateau–South Asia Region and the Southern Indian Ocean and Their Impacts on the Indian Summer Monsoon Outbreak

In this paper, the NCEP-NCAR daily reanalysis data are used to investigate the characteristics of the atmospheric heat source/sink （AHSS） over South Asia （SA） and southern Indian Ocean （SIO）. The thermal differences between these two regions and their influence on the outbreak of the Indian summer monsoon （ISM） are explored. Composite analysis and correlation analysis are applied. The results indicate that the intraseasonal variability of AHSS is signi- ficant in SA but insignificant in the SIO. Large inland areas in the Northern Hemisphere still behave as a heat sink in March, similar to the situation in winter. Significant differences are found in the distribution of AHSS between the ocean and land, with distinct land-ocean thermal contrast in April, and the pattern presents in the transitional period right before the ISM onset. In May, strong heat centers appear over the areas from the Indochina Peninsula to the Bay of Bengal and south of the Tibetan Plateau （TP）, which is a typical pattern of AHSS distribution during the monsoon season. The timing of SA-SIO thermal difference turning positive is about 15 pentads in advance of the onset of the ISM. Then, after the thermal differences have turned positive, a pre-monsoon meridional circulation cell develops due to the near-surface heat center and the negative thermal contrast center, after which the meridional circulation of the ISM gradually establishes. In years of early （late） conversion of the SASIO thermal difference turning from neg- ative to positive, the AHSS at all levels over the TP and SIO converts later （earlier） than normal and the establish- ment of the ascending and descending branches of the ISM＇s meridional circulation is later （earlier） too. Meanwhile, the establishment of the South Asian high over the TP is later （earlier） than normal and the conversion of the Mas- carene high from winter to summer mode occurs anomalously late （early）. As a result, the onset of the ISM is later （earlier） than normal. However, the difference in vorticity between early and late conversion only shows in the changes of strong vorticity centers＇ location in the upper and lower troposphere.

The Leading Mode of Indian Ocean SST and Its Impacts on Asian Summer Monsoon

The Indian Ocean （IO） sea surface temperature （SST） was analyzed by using empirical orthogonal function （EOF）, and the leading mode of Indian Ocean （LMIO） SST was extracted. The major spatial and temporal characters of LMIO were discussed, and the relationships between LMIO with Indian summer monsoon （ISM） and with China summer rainfalls （CSR） were investigated, then the impacts of LMIO on Asian summer monsoon （ASM） circulation were explored. Some notable results are obtained： The significant evolutional characters of LMIO are the consistent warming trend of almost the whole IO basin, the distinctive quasi-3- and quasi-ll-yr oscillations and remarkably interdecadal warming in 1976/1977 and 1997/1998, respectively. The LMIO impaired the lower level circulation of ISM and was closely related with the climate trend of CSR. It was associated with the weakening of South Asian high, the easterly winds south of the Tibetan Plateau, and the cross-equatorial flows over 10°-20°N, 40°-110°E at the upper level; with the strengthening of Somali cross-equatorial jet but the weakening of the circulation of ISM in the sector of India, the strengthening of south wind over the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River and South China but the weakening of southwesterly winds over North China at lower level and with the increasing of surface pressure over the Asian Continent. Changes in the moisture flux transports integrated vertically over the whole troposphere associated with LMIO are similar to those in the lower level circulation. To sum up, the significant SST increasing trend of IO basin was one of the important causes for weakening of the ASM circulation and the southwards shifting of China summer rainband.

Intraseasonal oscillation features of the South China Sea summer monsoon and its response to abnormal Madden and Julian Oscillation in the tropical Indian Ocean

By applying the OLR and wind data,rainfall data and the Madden and Julian Oscillation(MJO)index,the paper deals with intraseasonal oscillation features and inter-annual differences of the South China Sea(SCS)summer monsoon,distribution of its LF circulation and convection fields and rainfall,and path of summer monsoon ISO spreading,as well as impact of tropical Indo-MJO on SCS summer monsoon ISO during 1979-2008.It is found that(1)there are three intraseasonal oscillations of the SCS summer monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillation(ISO)in summer(from May to August)in the climate normal.The SCS summer monsoon ISO goes through six phases(exclusive of weak phase)at every complete fluctuation:developing,the strongest,weakening,restraining,the weakest,and recovering.Due to tropical LC convection spreading to the east and north, the LR convection and circulation fields in the 1st-3rd and 4th-6th phases present the anti-phase in the Arabian Sea-West Pacific latitudinal band.Its corresponding rain bands in the 1st-3rd and 4th-6th phases also present anti-phase roughly.The rain band,mainly in tropical regions in the south of 20°N,moves eastward with LR convection shifting eastward,while the rain band moves northward with LR convection shifting northward in East Asia(EA)subtropical regions in the north of 20°N.(2) The SCS summer monsoon ISO presents significant inter-annual variations in intensity.There are three stronger monsoon in- traseasonal oscillations in summer in the strong SCS monsoon ISO year.The first two oscillations from the tropical Indian Ocean ISO spread northward to the Bay of Bengal first,and then to the South China Sea(SCS)along the 10°-20°N latitudinal band.They are strengthened there and stimulate the ISO moving to the north to form the tropical Indo-ISO.Finally they spread to South China(SC)by relay way in the longitude-latitude direction.Moreover,in the weaker SCS summer monsoon ISO,the oscillation weakens greatly and irregularly in intensity with the weaker ISO spreading in the longitude-latitude direction.In average conditions,the tropical Indian ISO spreads to the SCS by about 20 days(one half ISO periods).(3)MJO1(the first modal of MJO index provided by the CPC)averaged value in the 1st-2nd pentads of April has the negative correlation with the SCS monsoon ISO intensity.The tropical Indo-MJO is slightly stronger in the subsequent May to August when it is more active in the 1st-2nd pentads of April,and the ISO also spreads strongly to the SCS,so that the SCS summer monsoon ISO strengthens.Conversely,the SCS summer monsoon ISO weakens.The abnormal MJO in the 1st-2nd pentads of April contributes to a certain theory basis for us to predict the subsequent SCS summer monsoon ISO intensity and analyze the related regions'abnormal rainfall.

THE EFFECTS OF SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE OVER THE EQUATORIAL WESTERN PACIFIC AND THE INDIAN OCEAN ON THE ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON

In this paper, the p-σ five layer primitive equation model segmented by mountains and physical parameterizations including short wave radiation; long wave radiation; large-scale and convective condensation; heat and moisture transport from surface to the first model level is used. The horizonial resolution is 5° lat. ×5° long. with the integration region from 25°S to 55°N and from 5°W eastward to 175°W. The model was spun up with perpetual June boundary conditions and forcing starting with June zonal mean heights and geostrophic wind field. In order to investigate the effects of SST (sea surface tempefuture) over the equatorial Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean on the Asian summer monsoon, four sets of numerical experments with positive anomalies over the equatorial Western Pacific, and positive and negative anomalies over the Western Indian Ocean, and zonal mean SST (the control case) are performed. The experimental results show that the South Asian low in the lower troposphere and the anticyclone over the South Asia in the uppet troposphere intensified when positive SST anomalies over the equatorial Western Pacific is included. A statistical test method for simulations is proposed. Finally, the influence mechanism of the SST anomalies over the equatorial oceans is discussed. It is worth stressing that the effects of the SST over the equatorial oceans on the Asian summer monsoon can arise as a result of interaction of SST anomalies, atmospheric flow field and heat sources and sinks in the atmosphere.

NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS FOR THE INFLUENCES OF SST ANOMALIES OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA-EASTERN TROPICAL INDIAN OCEAN ON THE SOUTH CHINA SEA SUMMER MONSOON ONSET

Numerical experiments with a low resolution atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) were conducted to investigate the influences of SST anomalies (SSTA) over the South China Sea- tropical eastern indian Ocean (SCS-TEIO) on the onset of the South China Sea summer Monsoon (SCSM).With positive SSTA over the SCS-TEIO,the anomalous cyclones appear over both sides of the equator at low layer,which weakens the Somali and Australian cross-equatorial SW flow. The anomalous anticyclone in the east of Phillips strengthens the subtropical high with its ridge southwestward shifted.The anomalous anticyclones over both sides of equator at high layer strengthen the South Asia high,thus weaken the SCSM and delay its onset.With negative SSTA over the SCS-ETIO,the anomalous anticyclones appear over both sides of the equator at low layer,which strengthen the Australian but weaken the Somali cross-equatorial SW flow.The anomalous cyclone in northeast of Phillips will weaken the subtropical high.The stronger monsoon meridional circulation over the tropical western Pacific will strengthen the cross-equatorial southerly flow,and the anomalous cyclones over both sides of equator at high layer will weaken the South Asia high,hence strengthen the SCSM and advance its onset.

The critical role of Indian summer monsoon on the remote forcing between Indian and Northwest Pacific during El Nio decaying year

Recent studies have found a connection between Indian Ocean Basin Warming and the anomalous Northwest Pacific Anticyclone(ANPWA) during El Ni?o decaying year.This study focuses on the necessary condition for this connection by using observation and numerical simulation.The seasonal transition of the Indian Ocean sea surface wind is critical to the climatic effect of Indian Ocean Basin Warming.When the South Asian Summer Monsoon reaches its peak,the background wind becomes desirable for basin warming,which then affects the climate in the Northwest Pacific.Via the Kelvin waves and Ekman divergence,the wind anomalies exist in the lower atmosphere east of the Indian Ocean warm Sea Surface Temperature(SST) anomalies,and intensify and sustain the ANWPA throughout the El Nio decaying summer.This impact plays an important role in the inter-annual variability of the East Asian Summer Monsoon.

Impact of Ocean-Continent Distribution over Southern Asia on the Formation of Summer Monsoon

Using the CCM3/NCAR, a series of numerical experiments are designed to explore the effect of ocean-land interlaced distributions of Africa-Arabian Sea-India Peninsula-Bay of Bengal （BOB）-Indo-China Peninsula- South China Sea on the formation of the Asian summer monsoon circulation （ASMC）. The results show that the thermal difference between African or Indian Subcontinent and nearby areas including the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and part of BOB is the primary mechanism that maintains the Indian monsoon circulation. In the experiment getting rid of these two continents, the Indian monsoon system （IMS） members, i.e., the Somali cross-equatorial jet （40°E） and the southwesterly monsoon over the Arabian Sea and BOB, almost disappear. Moreover, the Hadley circulation weakens dominantly. It also proves that Africa has greater effect than Indian Subcontinent on the IMS. However, the existence of Indo-China Peninsula and Australia strengthens the East Asian monsoon system （EAMS）. The thermal contrast between Indo-China Peninsula and SCS, Australia and western Pacific Ocean plays an important role in the formation of the tropical monsoon to the south of the EAMS. When the Indo-China Peninsula is masked in the experiment, the cross-equatorial flow （105°E and 125°E） vanishes, so does the southwesterly monsoon usually found over East Asia, and EAMS is enfeebled significantly. In addition, the impacts of these thermal contrasts on the distribution of the summer precipitation and surface temperature are investigated.

全新世青藏高原东部西南季风的演变

本研究报道一组新的西南季风代用指标,即泥炭中单一种属植物———木里苔草残体纤维素和泥炭混合植物残体纤维素的δ13C时间序列,所记录的青藏高原东部全新世气候变化。两记录表明,该区全新世的下限年龄约11200aBP(14C年龄约9900aBP);从约11200aBP起该区迅速进入湿暖的全新世阶段,季风活动迅速增强;在约10800～5500aBP期间,季风总体保持在强盛状态,但其间有4次突然减弱,气候变干冷;约从5500aBP起季风活动在波动中逐渐减弱,其中有4次减弱最明显。所有这8次气候的突然变化都与北大西洋浮冰事件一一对应。这种密切的相关关系表明,西南季风强度的波动可能是对全球变化,特别是对海洋热盐环流引起的地球南北方气候波动的所谓"跷跷板效应"的响应。

印度洋海表温度主模态及其与亚洲夏季季风的关系

分析了印度洋SST主模态的时空特征,并探讨其对亚洲夏季季风的影响,结果表明:印度洋SST主模态的主要特征为整个海盆一致的增温趋势,主要具有准3 a和准11 a周期,在1976/1977年和1997/1998年分别具有两次年代际显著增温。印度洋SST主模态与中国雨区夏季降水有很好的关系,其增温趋势与华北、东北南部、华南东部和西南西部降水减少,长江中下游地区、东北北部和西北地区降水增多具有很好的关系,并与长江中下游梅雨雨量具有较好的正相关关系;其变化趋势对亚洲夏季季风系统具有显著影响,在高空,使南亚高压、高原南侧的高空东风以及从南海、东南亚至西南印度洋的高空越赤道气流减弱,但增强10°—20°N、40°—110°E的北风;在中层,使西北太平洋副热带高压强度偏强,面积偏大;在低层,增强索马里越赤道气流,但却削弱印度夏季季风低层环流,并且在加强东亚地区的低层南风在中国长江中下游地区及其以南地区的同时减弱华北地区的低层西南风;地面,使亚洲大陆的气压升高;与对流层整层垂直积分水汽输送通量的相关分布与低层环流的相似。因此,印度洋SST主模态的上升趋势是亚洲夏季季风趋于减弱和中国雨带南移的一个原因。

2012年海洋和大气环流异常及其对中国气候的影响

文章主要对2011/2012年冬季至2012年秋季的海洋和大气环流异常进行分析,并讨论这些异常特征对中国气温和降水的主要影响。分析表明:2012年3月拉尼娜事件结束,赤道中东太平洋在7—8月出现明显暖水波动,之后进入正常状态。暖水波动使9—10月西太副高偏强偏西控制长江以南大部,造成该地温高雨少:8—9月,热带印度洋呈显著的偶极子正位相模态,在热带东太平洋激发出异常反气旋,其西北侧西南气流有利于暖湿气流影响中国华西南部出现明显秋雨。2012年南海夏季风爆发偏早1候,结束偏晚2候,强度偏弱;东亚夏季风为1951年以来第四强,使得东亚夏季风雨带位置偏北,中国北方大部夏季降水偏多。受海温和大气环流异常等的共同影响,我国出现了冬冷、春夏热、秋冷和夏季降水"北多南少"的气候特征。

印度洋-太平洋海表温度年际变化的联合模态

利用1870-2004年的HadiSST的月平均海表面温度（SST）资料，对去除了全球增暖趋势的印度洋一太平洋海表温度异常（SSTA）作季节经验正交函数（Season—reliant Empirical Orthogonal Function，S-EOF）分解，得到了印度洋一太平洋海表温度年际变化的2个联合模态，并且分析了与之相对应的大气环流特征。结果表明：低频的厄尔尼诺／南方涛动（ENSO）是控制印度洋一太平洋的主导模态，能使赤道印度洋维持一异常反气旋性环流，削弱印度洋夏季风的作用并且将东印度洋暖池的暖水输送到西印度洋，印度洋SSTA在一年四季中都出现全海盆同号变化，因此，第一主模态是ENSO的低频模与印度洋海盆一致模的联合模态；第二模态表现为太平洋上准2a的ENSO位相转换模与印度洋偶极子模的联合模态，ENSO的位相转换发生于春季，与季风的异常转换有关，印度洋上出现异常的气旋性环流，叠加在印度洋夏季风上，增大东西印度洋的温差，在秋季出现西低东高的偶极子型海温分布，印度洋夏季风和这个模态的产生发展有很大的联系。

热带印度洋秋季偶极子模态与南海夏季风强度变化的关系

利用多年的Reynolds月平均海表温度资料和NCEP/NCAR全球大气再分析资料,采用经验正交函数(EOF)分析和滑动相关方法,研究了热带印度洋秋季偶极子模态和南海夏季风强度变化的关系。结果表明：(1)热带印度洋秋季海表温度距平(SSTA)的主要模态是全区一致型和偶极子(IOD)型,全区一致型模态主要代表了秋季SSTA全海盆一致的年代际及其以上时间尺度的变化,IOD型模态主要反映热带印度洋秋季SSTA年际时间尺度的变化。(2)当前期秋季热带印度洋存在正(负)IOD模态时,南海的夏季风强度减弱(增强)。二者年际变化的负相关关系在长期趋势的冷位相期不显著,而在暖位相期显著。(3)当南海夏季风强度增强(减弱)时,后期秋季热带印度洋出现正(负)IOD模态。二者年际变化的正相关关系在长期趋势的冷、暖位相期显著,在冷、暖位相转换期前后不显著。
