A distinct sub-seasonal modulation in the Atlantic-originated atmospheric teleconnection influence on East Asian monthly climates
Abstract The strong sub-seasonal modulation in the atmospheric teleconnection between the North Atlantic and East Asia during boreal winter has been examined. Negative precipitation anomalies and corresponding transient eddy vorticity fluxes over the mid-latitude Atlantic induce a wave packet that l...
