“…The relationships between precipitation over East Asia and large-scale climate patterns, such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO), were identified through the influence of atmospheric circulation [10][11][12][13][14]. However, the underlying dynamics are various for these teleconnections of climate patterns and the seasonal precipitation.…”

Abstract:Understanding the spatiotemporal variability of seasonal extreme precipitation and its linkage with climate patterns is of great importance for water resource management over the Yangtze River Basin. Hence, this study examined the spatiotemporal variability of seasonal extreme precipitation through the archetypal analysis (AA), by which observations were decomposed and characterized as several extreme modes. Six archetypes were identified and can obviously exhibit the features of events with above average or below average precipitation. Summer precipitation is the most variable compared to the winter, spring, and autumn precipitation through the trend analysis. It ranged from extremely dry (A6) to normal (A1 and A2) to extremely wet (A4). Climate teleconnections to the four archetypes for summer precipitation and relative importance of climate patterns were thus investigated. Results show that El Niño Southern Oscillation index is the strongest determinant of the ensuing archetypes representing the events with above average precipitation, while the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) contributes most to the events with below-average precipitation. A warm phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is significantly correlated with the above-average precipitation.

“…the North Atlantic SST tripole and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation), as well as the related patterns of atmospheric circulation anomalies, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Arctic Oscillation, are closely linked to climate anomalies in adjacent Europe, North and South America, and Africa, on different timescales (Uvo et al ., ; McHugh and Rogers, ; Sutton and Hodson, , ; Kushnir et al ., ; Nnamchi and Li, ; Sutton and Dong, ; Amorim et al ., ; Myoung et al ., ). Moreover, the SST and atmospheric circulation anomalies in the Atlantic Ocean can remotely affect Asian circulations and associated precipitation and temperature anomalies (Goswami et al ., ; Lu et al ., ; Sung et al ., ; Li and Bates, ; Li et al ., , , ; Wu et al ., , , ; Sun, , ; Zuo et al ., ; Chen et al ., ).

Wu et al (2009c) suggested that an anomalous NAO in boreal spring can induce a tripole SST anomaly pattern in the North Atlantic, persisting into the ensuing summer and stimulating atmospheric teleconnection affecting the East Asian summer monsoon.…”

Using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration extended reconstructed sea surface temperature (SST) data sets, we examine the preceding factors in the Atlantic Ocean contributing to summer high temperature anomalies over the lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin-Jiangnan (LRYB-JN) region. We find that summer LRYB-JN surface air temperature (SAT) anomalies are highly correlated with, and physically connected to, the preceding winter SST and SAT anomalies in the tropical western Atlantic (TWA) region [(10 ∘ -30 ∘ N, 60 ∘ -35 ∘ W) and (0 ∘ -10 ∘ N, 50 ∘ -35 ∘ W)]. The effect of preceding winter thermal conditions in the TWA region can be explained by the following two mechanisms. Coupled with SST, positive TWA SAT anomalies can persist from the preceding winter to summer and excite a zonal wave train at middle latitudes extending from the Atlantic to Eurasia, with a deep and stable high pressure anomaly centred over the LRYB-JN region. As a result, high temperature anomalies occur over the LRYB-JN region. In addition to the above mechanism, the TWA SST-SAT coupled anomalies also exert an impact on summer LRYB-JN SAT by modulating the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) SAT and SST variation, which causes summer LRYB-JN SAT anomalies. Given the contributions of TWA SAT anomalies, independent of and in concert with the TIO SAT variation, we define a preceding winter TWA-TIO SAT index, which measures the concurrent variation of TWA and TIO SATs. The preceding winter TWA-TIO index is more significantly correlated with the summer LRYB-JN SAT and therefore can reflect the latter better than the individual TWA or TIO SAT index.

“…The 2.75-4-year cycle could be associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which has a frequency of about 3-8 years [83]. The 40-65-year climate cycle may be related to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) [84] or to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) [85]. As discussed in previous studies, these climatic cycles have a major impact on the regional climate of Nepal [24,26,36,86].…”

“…Previous studies found that a positive AMO mode extends the duration of the summer monsoon in the southeast and east Asia [87]. Li et al [85] claimed that the East Asian temperature leads to the occurrence of the positive AMO phase, which creates a positive relationship with temperature and AMO. The effect of the positive NAO index is negative on spring temperature (favoring growth) in our study area.…”

Spring Season in Western Nepal Himalaya is not yet Warming: A 400-Year Temperature Reconstruction Based on Tree-Ring Widths of Himalayan Hemlock (Tsuga dumosa)

The Himalayan region has already witnessed profound climate changes detectable in the cryosphere and the hydrological cycle, already resulting in drastic socio-economic impacts. We developed a 619-yea-long tree-ring-width chronology from the central Nepal Himalaya, spanning the period 1399–2017 CE. However, due to low replication of the early part of the chronology, only the section after 1600 CE was used for climate reconstruction. Proxy climate relationships indicate that temperature conditions during spring (March–May) are the main forcing factor for tree growth of Tsuga dumosa at the study site. We developed a robust climate reconstruction model and reconstructed spring temperatures for the period 1600–2017 CE. Our reconstruction showed cooler conditions during 1658–1681 CE, 1705–1722 CE, 1753–1773 CE, 1796–1874 CE, 1900–1936 CE, and 1973 CE. Periods with comparably warmer conditions occurred in 1600–1625 CE, 1633–1657 CE, 1682–1704 CE, 1740–1752 CE, 1779–1795 CE, 1936–1945 CE, 1956–1972 CE, and at the beginning of the 21st century. Tropical volcanic eruptions showed only a sporadic impact on the reconstructed temperature. Also, no consistent temperature trend was evident since 1600 CE. Our temperature reconstruction showed positive teleconnections with March–May averaged gridded temperature data for far west Nepal and adjacent areas in Northwest India and on the Southwest Tibetan plateau. We found spectral periodicities of 2.75–4 and 40–65 years frequencies in our temperature reconstruction, indicating that past climate variability in central Nepal might have been influenced by large-scale climate modes, like the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation, the North Atlantic Oscillation, and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation.
