The results obtain two main conclusions: (1) When the atmospheric stratification is stable, the inertial gravity waves for Southwest China Vortex may also develop into finite-amplitude wave packet with a solitonic characteristics of large amplitude and short duration, forming a long-narrow wave band which activates and organizes severe convective activities like high wind and thunderstorm of Southwest China Vortex. When the atmospheric stratification is unstable, the inertial gravity waves exhibits attenuating oscillation characteristics and develops into finite-amplitude wave packet with large amplitude and fast speed, forming queue-type wave band that activates and organizes extreme weather like persistent heavy rainfall of Southwest China Vortex. (2) Under different atmospheric stratifications, the effects of thermal forcing on the inertial gravity waves for Southwest China Vortex are different. In the stable atmospheric stratification, the thermal forcing mainly intensifies the inertial gravity waves and has no significant effect on its duration. And in the unstable atmospheric stratification, the thermal forcing not only strengthens its growth but also obviously extends its duration. The research has revealed the some nonlinear characteristics of the internal inertial gravity waves for Southwest China Vortex, and improved the theoretical understanding about the critical role of the internal inertial gravity waves dynamic processes and its influence mechanism on the meso-micro scale severe convection weather for Southwest China Vortex.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50563,"journal":{"name":"Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377026524000253/pdfft?md5=9e3d1b34a0176002165f9b88a13fed25&pid=1-s2.0-S0377026524000253-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140551772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, there is a large spread in the ISMR variability for future projections (by the end of 21st century) as simulated by coupled general circulation models. Gaining insight into the variations of the ISMR during warm periods could enhance our ability to understand ISMR variability in the future. In this study, we have selected the mid-Pliocene warm period from 3.0 to 3.3 million years ago (Ma), which has similar external forcing (orbital parameters) comparable to the end of the 21st century. To evaluate the ISMR mean state during the mid-Pliocene, we have used six available Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) model simulations and their multi-model ensemble mean. Our analysis suggests that the ensemble of CMIP6 models is better than individual models in capturing the ISM rainfall patterns and its characteristics for the historical period of 1914–2013. During the mid-Pliocene, we find an increase in the JJAS rainfall over most parts of India in comparison to the pre-industrial period with an increase of 34% in seasonal precipitation. This higher precipitation conditions during the mid-Pliocene is accompanied by thermo dynamical (higher CO<sub>2</sub> forcing led to higher tropospheric temperature and higher precipitable water) and dynamical (larger tropospheric temperature gradient between Indian landmass and southern Indian Ocean corresponds to enhanced moisture transport, enhanced low-level cross-equatorial flow and intensified Monsoon Hadley Circulation) aspects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50563,"journal":{"name":"Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140201424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this anomaly framework falls short in capturing the complexity of multiple periodic modes with intricate waveforms and time dependent amplitude—the traits, in general, shared by externally forced responses of complex dynamical systems. By allowing interannual amplitude modulation of ACs, we show that the monotonic amplitude increases of the first AC of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are manifested as the basin-wide secular warming of the ocean surface. Notably, the first SST-AC exhibits significant interannual variances and the largest linear warming rates in the Pacific Warm Pool. While the linear warming pattern mirrors that of a long-term mean SST, it depicts an entirely different warming pattern on the surface of the tropical Pacific Ocean compared to those reported so far. Moreover, all interannual warm (El Niño) and cold (La Niña) events in tropical Pacific regions are abnormal interannual modulations in the third and fourth ACs of SST, respectively. Specifically, a strong El Niño event occurs when a positive amplitude modulation leads to the overlap of two consecutive positive phases of the third AC of SST. Conversely, the absence of such overlaps during negative amplitude modulations significantly contributes to the positive skewness of SST anomalies. No systematic decadal changes in the zonal propagation characteristics of SST in the eastern Pacific (EP) and central Pacific (CP) regions were detected. These findings underscore that the secular warming and low-frequency events in EP and CP are intrinsic to three distinct ACs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50563,"journal":{"name":"Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140052609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simulation spanning 20 years (1991–2010) at a horizontal resolution of 20 Km is driven by the NCEP / NCAR reanalysis. We evaluated the model by comparing simulated precipitation with observations using Bias, Root-Mean-Square Error, and Index of Agreement metrics. We examined the extreme precipitations based on a set of extreme indices recommended by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) in three categories of intensity (Rx1day and SDII), duration (CDD and CWD), and frequency (R10mm and R20mm). The linear trends are calculated using the Theil–Sen estimator method, and the statistical significance (95% confidence level) is determined by using a modified Mann-Kendall (MMK) trend test. The RegCM4 model satisfactory captured the spatial distribution of precipitation and precipitation extremes, although high bias remained in small parts of Iran, including the northwest and southeast. The northwest bias is due to spring convectional precipitation and the southeast bias could be caused by precipitation from the Asian summer monsoon system, which both of them may not be well simulated by the applied Grell convective scheme. Results indicate that the model reasonably captures Rx1day, SDII, CWD, R10mm, and R20mm Indices over Iran. In good agreement with precipitation observations, the southern coast of the Caspian Sea represents the second-highest extreme precipitation, except for SDII, which is probably due to the high frequency of rainy days in this region. The highest CDD of more than 200 days is found in the arid and semi-arid regions of the southeast. In general, precipitation decreased in most regions of Iran, especially the western, southern, and interior regions. In addition, the results reveal that heavy (R10mm) and very heavy (R20mm) precipitation events have also decreased in the same regions. Results also emphasize an increase in consecutive dry days (CDD) in most parts, especially in the southeast, which deserves more attention in future research. The decreasing trend of precipitation and the increasing trend of CDD show that Iran has become drier in the 2000 s compared to the 1990 s</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50563,"journal":{"name":"Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139956536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the impacts of hail added both to single-moment and double-moment microphysics parameterization scheme on the MPI remain unclear. In this study, high-resolution sensitivity experiments are conducted in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model by using four bulk microphysics schemes belonging to a family, namely, WRF Single-Moment 6-Class (WSM6) scheme, WRF Double-Moment 6-Class (WDM6) scheme, WRF Single-Moment 7-Class (WSM7) scheme, WRF Double-Moment 7-Class (WDM7) scheme. Results show that SM schemes simulate the greater MPI than DM schemes. Adding hail in SM scheme increases the MPI while in DM scheme makes less difference. There is a close relationship between the MPI and the radial peak location and intensity of latent heat. The closer the latent heat peak is to the TC center and the greater the peak intensity is, the greater the MPI can be achieved. Though the presence of hail plays a cooling effect thermally, it may affect the TC structures due to the larger sedimentation speed. WSM7 scheme including hail microphysics simulates the TC with smaller size and eye wall inclination, and thus the latent heating efficiency in the eye wall is higher, which is more conducive to TC intensification. However, the larger content of hail resulting from the accretion of liquid water in WDM7 scheme brings a stronger cooling effect and probably offsets the dynamic advantage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50563,"journal":{"name":"Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139953241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A day is defined as having extreme-widespread precipitation if one-third of the selected stations have mostly extreme precipitation. Finally, 9 days with the highest extreme precipitation and spatial continuity are selected. The upper air data of the 9 selected days are extracted and, accordingly, synoptic charts are plotted. The used data include ERA5, which are extracted from the lower (800 and 850 hPa) and middle (500, 600 and 700 hPa) levels.

The interaction between patterns could lead to the formation of atmospheric rivers with tropical origin from ITCZ, their transport to subtropical and extratropical regions and their moisture supply along the path by different moisture sources in tropical, subtropical and extratropical regions. The formed atmospheric rivers are divided into two categories, namely continental and oceanic, based on their formation origin. The continental atmospheric river is formed at the lower level and, in some cases, at the middle level, while the oceanic atmospheric river is only formed at the middle level.
