Effects of Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and Pacific decadal oscillation on interdecadal variability of fog frequency in autumn–winter season in Southwest China
Abstract Based on the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) and the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) indexes, the observation of fog frequency in China and the reanalysis data from the National Centres for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research during 1958–2007 are sele...
