Variations in northeast Asian summer precipitation driven by the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation
Abstract By analysing a 113–year (1900–2012) observational dataset, it is shown that the interdecadal fluctuation of the summer precipitation over Northeast Asia differs from that in central East Asia during the 20th century, and has experienced three interdecadal shifts in the 1920s, mid‐1960s and...
