Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect innovative studies on the recent novel understanding of the variabilities and mechanisms of the East Asian summer and winter monsoons under the global change background, focusing on the interrelationships between the intraseasonal to interdecadal variabilities of the East Asian summer and winter monsoons and the global change. A well understanding and the accurate prediction and projections of variabilities in East Asian summer and winter monsoons and their impacts on the surrounding climate are essential to prevent and mitigate the effects of meteorological disasters such as floods and droughts, and numerous people living in the East Asian areas will benefit significantly from these studies.

In this Special Issue, original research reviews and articles are welcome. Research domains may include (but are not limited to) the following items:

(1) To unravel new phenomena and deepen our understanding of the air–land–sea interactions and tropical–extratropical-polar interactions tied to historical mechanisms of the East Asian summer and winter monsoons in a changing climate.

(2) Future projections of East Asian summer and winter monsoons under diverse climate change scenarios especially under carbon neutrality scenarios, and their connections with variabilities in natural and anthropogenic forcings as well as inter climate variabilities.

The sea-gale process (SGP) is a significant and disastrous weather event for the marine industry. However, the sub-seasonal predictability of SGP remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the influence of low-frequency oscillation on SGP in the Yangtze River estuary from November to April, and its implications for sub-seasonal prediction. We noted that SGPs have a close relationship with the 10~30 day low-frequency component of the 10-m wind speed in the Yangtze River estuary, and typically occur during the peak phase of the low-frequency oscillation. The 10~30 day low-frequency oscillation of 10-m wind was found to be linked to the eastward propagation of extratropical Rossby waves from the North Atlantic across Europe to East Asia. This Rossby wave leads to the low-frequency oscillation of the Siberian high pressure and Japan Sea low pressure, which is indicative of the 10~30 day low-frequency oscillations of the 10-m wind speed in the Yangtze River Estuary. A sea-gale process index (SGPI) was constructed based on the low-frequency oscillation of the Siberian high and the Japan Sea low in order to predict SGPs at the sub-seasonal time scale. Hindcast and real-time forecasts showed that 2/3 of SGPs can be predicted with a leading time of 10~30 days, and that good sub-seasonal predictions of SGPs are connected with strong low-frequency oscillations at the initial forecast time. Therefore, SGPI can be adopted for the sub-seasonal prediction of SGPs in the Yangtze River Estuary. Full article
