Abstract

This study explored the interannual characteristics of the out-of-phase pattern of summer precipitation over northern China during the past years, as well as the possible underlying mechanisms. The out-of-phase pattern is characterized by the positive precipitation anomaly in Northwest China (NWC) and the negative anomaly in North China (NC). Our analyses indicate that the variation of Asian westerly jet (AWJ) is found evidently associated with this out-of-phase pattern of summer precipitation. The meridional displacement of AWJ induces opposite trends in water vapour transport and circulation anomalies between NWC and NC, leading to the out-of-phase pattern. Further analyses suggest that the anomalies of Arctic sea ice concentration (SIC), North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) can impact the variation of AWJ by triggering the Eurasian (EU), polar-Eurasia (POL) and Pacific-Japan (PJ) teleconnection patterns, respectively, which in turn modulate the formation of this pattern. The precipitation in NWC is primarily affected by the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific SST anomalies, whereas the precipitation in NC is notably influenced by both SST anomalies and the Arctic SIC anomaly. However, the role of SST anomalies on precipitation in NWC and NC exhibits an evident contrast, leading to the out-of-phase pattern of summer precipitation.

中国北方夏季降水的离相模式及可能机制
本研究探讨了多年来中国北方夏季降水离相模式的年际特征及其可能的内在机制。西北地区降水异常为正,华北地区降水异常为负。我们的分析表明,亚洲西风射流(AWJ)的变化与夏季降水的非相位模式明显相关。亚洲西风的经向位移引起了华北西部和华北北部之间水汽输送和环流异常的相反趋势,从而导致了这种离相模式。进一步的分析表明,北极海冰浓度(SIC)、北大西洋和西北太平洋海面温度(SST)的异常可通过分别触发欧亚(EU)、极地-欧亚(POL)和太平洋-日本(PJ)遥连模式来影响 AWJ 的变化,进而调节该模式的形成。西北太平洋降水主要受北大西洋和西北太平洋海温异常的影响,而北卡罗来纳州降水则主要受海温异常和北极 SIC 异常的影响。然而,海温异常对北大西洋和北太平洋降水的作用呈现出明显的反差,从而导致夏季降水模式的失调。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Climatology aims to span the well established but rapidly growing field of climatology, through the publication of research papers, short communications, major reviews of progress and reviews of new books and reports in the area of climate science. The Journal’s main role is to stimulate and report research in climatology, from the expansive fields of the atmospheric, biophysical, engineering and social sciences. Coverage includes: Climate system science; Local to global scale climate observations and modelling; Seasonal to interannual climate prediction; Climatic variability and climate change; Synoptic, dynamic and urban climatology, hydroclimatology, human bioclimatology, ecoclimatology, dendroclimatology, palaeoclimatology, marine climatology and atmosphere-ocean interactions; Application of climatological knowledge to environmental assessment and management and economic production; Climate and society interactions
