摘要: The Madden-Julian oscillation(MJO) is a dominant atmospheric low-frequency mode in the tropics.In this review article,recent progress in understanding the MJO dynamics is described.Firstly,the fundam...

摘要: An overview of Chinese contribution to Coupled Model Intercomparison Project–Phase 5(CMIP5) is presented. The performances of five Chinese Climate/Earth System Models that participated in the CMIP5 ...

摘要: This paper reviews recent progress in the development of the Beijing Climate Center Climate System Model(BCC-CSM) and its four component models(atmosphere,land surface,ocean,and sea ice).Two recent v...

摘要: This paper presents a concise summary of the studies on interdecadal variability of the East Asian winter monsoon(EAWM) from three main perspectives.(1) The EAWM has been significantly affected by gl...

摘要: The oceanic and atmospheric conditions and the related climate impacts of the 2015/16 ENSO cycle were analyzed,based on the latest global climate observational data,especially that of China.The resul...

摘要: This study investigates the relationship between subseasonal variations of the circulation and sea surface temperature(SST)over the South China–East Asian coastal region(EACR)in association with the...

摘要: A long-lived, quasi-stationary mesoscale convective system(MCS) producing extreme rainfall(maximum of 542 mm) over the eastern coastal area of Guangdong Province on 20 May 2015 is analyzed by using h...

摘要: Water vapor content,instability,and convergence conditions are the key to short-duration heavy rainfall forecasting.It is necessary to understand the large-scale atmospheric environment characteristi...

摘要: Atmospheric aerosols influence the earth's radiative balance directly through scattering and absorbing solar radiation,and indirectly through affecting cloud properties.An understanding of aeroso...

摘要: In this study, an approach combining dynamical initialization and large-scale spectral nudging is proposed to achieve improved numerical simulations of tropical cyclones (TCs), including track, struc...

摘要: Intensive field experiment is an important approach to obtain microphysical information about clouds and precipitation. From 1 July to 31 August 2014, the third Tibetan Plateau Atmospheric Science Ex...

摘要: Black carbon(BC) is the most effective insoluble light-absorbing particulate(ILAP), which can strongly absorb solar radiation at visible wavelengths. Once BC is deposited in snow via dry or wet proce...

摘要: Two homogenized datasets of daily maximum temperature(Tmax), mean temperature(Tm), and minimum temperature(Tmin) series in China have recently been developed. One is CHTM3.0, based on the Multiple An...

摘要: In previous statistical forecast models,prediction of summer precipitation along the Yangtze River valley and in North China relies heavily on its close relationships with the western Pacific subtrop...

摘要: Based on analysis of historical tornado observation data provided by the primary network of national weather stations in China for the period from 1960 to 2009,it is found that most tornadoes in Chin...

摘要: Based on the ensemble mean outputs of the ensemble forecasts from the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts),JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency),NCEP (National Centers for Environme...

摘要: In this study, local circulations and their responses to land use and land cover(LULC) changes over the Yellow Mountains of China are examined by using Weather Research and Forecast(WRF) model simula...

摘要: The baseline performance of the latest version (version 2) of an intermediate resolution, stand-alone climate oceanic general circulation model, called LASG/IAP (State Key Laboratory of Numerical Mod...

摘要: Climate sensitivity is an important index that measures the relationship between the increase in greenhouse gases and the magnitude of global warming.Uncertainties in climate change projection and cl...

摘要: Distinct climate changes since the end of the 1980 s have led to clear responses in crop phenology in many parts of the world. This study investigated the trends in the dates of spring wheat phenolog...
