Abstract

This summary looks at the southern hemisphere and equatorial climate patterns for spring 2016, with particular attention given to the Australasian and equatorial regions of the Pacific and Indian Ocean basins. Spring 2016 was marked by the later part of a strong negative phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole, alongside cool neutral El Niño–Southern Oscillation conditions. September was exceptionally wet over much of Australia, contributing to a wet spring with near-average temperatures. The spring was one of the warmest on record over the southern hemisphere as a whole, with Antarctic Sea ice extent dropping to record low levels for the season.

南半球季节气候总结(2016年春季):印度洋强负偶极子结束，给澳大利亚带来第二潮湿的9月

本摘要着眼于2016年春季南半球和赤道气候模式，特别关注太平洋和印度洋盆地的大洋洲和赤道地区。2016年春季的特点是印度洋偶极子强负相位的后期，同时伴有凉爽的中性厄尔尼诺Niño-Southern振荡条件。9月，澳大利亚大部分地区异常潮湿，导致春季潮湿，气温接近平均水平。今年春天是南半球有史以来最温暖的春天之一，南极海冰范围降至创纪录的最低水平。
