Description
Summary:<!--!introduction!--> As one of the most significant circulation systems over the Northern Hemisphere in the cold season, the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) has been broadly investigated from the seasonal-mean perspective, while subseasonal variations in the EAWM still remain ambiguous. Based on Season-reliant Empirical Orthogonal Function (S-EOF) analysis, this study shows that the subseasonal strength reversal of the EAWM (SR-EAWM), featuring a weaker (or stronger) EAWM in early winter (December) and a stronger (or weaker) EAWM in late winter (January-February), is a distinct leading mode of the month-to-month variation of the EAWM. The weak-to-strong SR-EAWM is characterized by an anomalous low over Eurasia and a weakened East Asian major trough (EAT) in early winter, with an intensified Siberian High and a deepened EAT in late winter. The SR-EAWM is preceded by surface air temperature anomalies over Davis Strait (DST) and those over central-eastern North America (CENAT) in September-October.
