The evolution of mesoscale eddies is crucial for understanding the ocean energy cascade. In this study, using global reanalysis sea surface velocity data and a mesoscale eddy trajectory product tracked by satellite altimeters, we aimed to reveal the...
Synoptic eddies (with a period of two to eight days) are active in the South China Sea-Philippine Sea (SCS-PS) and control weather variations. In addition, the intensity and frequency of synoptic eddies may change along with variations in sea surface...
Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cloud-resolving model (CRM) results from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Kwajalein Experiment (KWAJEX) were applied to analyze the diurnal cycle of cloud development in the tropics. Cloud develo...
A comprehensive diagnosis of eddy–mean flow interaction in the Kuroshio Current (KC) region and the associated energy conversion pathway is conducted employing a state-of-the-art high-resolution global ocean–sea ice coupled model. The spa...
This paper presents an assessment of the seasonal variability of the velocity fields, mean and eddy kinetics, and available potential energies, and the energy conversion rates for the eddy and basin-scale circulation regimes. The data were obtained t...
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) with a 10–30-day cycle over mid-high-latitude Eurasia during boreal summer. The leading mode of this ISO is determined using an extended empirica...
Tropical cyclones (TCs) can be characterized as a 3D annular structure of elevated potential vorticity (PV). However, strong mature TCs often develop a secondary eyewall, leading to a 3D annular vortex with a double-eyewall structure. Using 2D linear...
The heavy precipitation in Northern California—brought about by a landfalling atmospheric river (AR) on 25–27 February 2019—is investigated for an understanding of the underlying dynamical processes. By the peaks in hourly accumulat...
The ocean is a turbulent fluid with processes acting on a variety of spatio-temporal scales. The estimates of energy fluxes between length scales allows us to understand how the mean flow is maintained as well as how mesoscale eddies are formed and d...
The spatial and seasonal characteristics of submesoscales in the Northwest Pacific Subtropical Ocean are thoroughly investigated here using a submesoscale-permitting model within a localized multiscale energetics framework, in which three scale windo...
Polar lows (PLs) are maritime mesoscale cyclones associated with severe weather. They develop during marine cold air outbreaks near coastlines and the sea ice edge. Unfortunately, our knowledge about the mechanisms leading to PL development is still...
Breaking internal waves are an important contributor to mixing in the stratified ocean interior. We use two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic numerical simulations to examine the breaking of internal waves generated by tidal flow over sinusoidal bottom top...
Propagating easterly waves (EW) are analyzed here, within the dynamical environment of the Caribbean Low-Level Jet (CLLJ) using radiosondes from the Organization of Tropical East Pacific Convection (OTREC) field campaign, ERA5 reanalysis, and lightni...
A high-resolution unstructured-grid ocean model was used to investigate the generation, propagation, and dissipation of M2 internal tides in the Luzon Strait and northeastern South China Sea, with the aim of clarifying how energy evolves across contr...
Tropical cloud clusters (TCCs) are embryos of tropical cyclones (TCs) and may have the potential to develop into TCs. The genesis productivity (GP) of TCCs is used to quantify the proportion of TCCs that can evolve into TCs. Recent studies have revea...
Based on statistical analyses of long-term reanalysis data, we have investigated the interdecadal variations of autumn precipitation in central China (APC-d) and the associated atmospheric teleconnection. It reveals that the increased autumn rainfall...
Midlatitude westerly and East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) are crucial circulation systems in the upper and lower troposphere of East Asia that significantly influence mid-summer precipitation pattern. However, their synergistic effect on mid-summer p...
The West African atmospheric energy budget is assessed for the first time across three contrasting monsoon seasons (dry, wet, and moderate) using the latest version of the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM6/GEM5). The model is driven by ERA5 rean...
Previous studies have investigated the characteristics and influencing factors of plume bulge in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) using observations and numerical simulations. However, the understanding of how river discharge affects plume bulge is not...
