Abstract
The effect of El Niño on summer heat extremes in China has been a topic of previous studies, but the effects of different types of El Niño in developing summer on heat extremes in China have not been conclusive. We examined the effects of different types of El Niño in developing summer on heat extremes in China and found that there are spatial differences under different El Niño types. The developing eastern Pacific (EP) El Niño favours summer heat extremes from North China to central China and decreases them in southeastern China. The developing mixed-type Pacific (MP) El Niño decreases summer heat extremes in east-central China between 29°N and 35°N. The developing central Pacific (CP) El Niño increases summer heat extremes in east-central China between 29°N and 37°N and decreases them in southern China. The physical mechanisms underlying the above spatially distinct effects are clarified through circulation and localised key climatic factors. Thus, the predictability of summer heat extremes in China can be improved based on judging the different El Niños in developing conditions.
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
