The Western Pacific Warm Pool (WP), with the highest sea surface temperature (SST) in the world, has strong impacts on the drought variations in Eurasia. However, since the little ice age (1250–1850, LIA), the co-climatic drought pattern due to...
Due to the severe threat of tropical cyclones to human life, recent years have witnessed an increase in the investigations on raindrop size distributions of tropical cyclones to improve their quantitative precipitation estimation algorithms and model...
The predictability of the wintertime Western Pacific (WP) pattern is evaluated based on seasonal predictions from five models participating in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Climate Center (APCC) multi-model ensemble (MME) for the winte...
The current study concentrates on the interdecadal shift in the interannual variability of summertime precipitation (IVSP) over South China (SC). Possible causes for the interdecadal shift are explored. The IVSP on a decadal time scale presents a sig...
The variation in the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone (ASMA) has long been of interest due to its effects on the weather and climate, as well as the vertical transport of pollutants in South Asia and East Asia. This study employs composite analysis t...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a significant health threat worldwide. The aging population and a rise in metabolic syndrome in Asia might influence the epidemiology of NAFLD among the elderly. However, there is a lack of understa...
The inter-annual variability of boreal summer intra-seasonal oscillation (BSISO) propagation from the Indian Ocean (IO) to the western Pacific (WP) is investigated for the boreal summers (May to September) of 1979–2018. It is shown that the int...
Extratropical cyclones (ETCs) over the Northwest Pacific are identified and tracked by applying an objective tracking algorithm to the 6-h time interval relative vorticity fields from the European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) rea...
Based on precipitation data from 60 stations in South China (SC) and NCEP reanalysis data, the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT_4.9) is used to analyze the difference of water vapor transport tracks, water vapor...
The atmospheric teleconnection pattern reflects large-scale variations in the atmospheric wave and jet stream, and has pronounced impacts on climate mean and extremes over various regions. This study compares those patterns that have significant circ...
In 1998 and 2016, boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) could reach the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin (YRB), leading to extreme precipitation. Based on multiple daily data, this study reveals the differences in BSISO event...
Locally-originated typhoons in the South China Sea (SCS) are characterized by long duration, complex track, and high probability of landfall, which tend to cause severe wind, rainstorm, and flood disasters in coastal regions. Therefore, it is of grea...
The influence of large-scale teleconnection patterns, Western Pacific (WP), Arctic Oscillation (AO) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), on the minimum surface air temperature (Tmin) anomalies and extremes over East Asia during the boreal...
The daily fields from three reanalysis datasets are utilized to explore the subseasonal influence of teleconnection patterns on the surface air temperature (SAT) over southern China. Due to the similarity of the results from the different datasets, t...
In this study, artificial neural network (ANN) models were constructed to predict the rainfall during May and June for the Han River basin, South Korea. This was achieved using the lagged global climate indices and historical rainfall data. Monte-Car...
A Madden–Jillian oscillation (MJO) and boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) are important climate variabilities, which affect a forecast of weather and climate. In this study, the MJO and the BSISO hindcasts from the Global Seasonal...
It is well reported that the 2015–16 El Niño event is one of the most intense and long lasting events in the 21st century. The quantified changes in the trace gases (Ozone (O3), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Water Vapour (WV)) in the tropical...
Using the historical simulation from the CESM1-WACCM coupled model and based on the JRA55 and NCEP/NCAR reanalyses, the general statistical characteristics of the major sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) in this stratosphere-resolving model are ass...
The prediction of oceanic features is always an important issue in oceanography, where deep learning has been proven to be a useful tool. In this study, we applied the improved U-net model to predict the monthly sea surface salinity (SSS) over the we...
GloSea5, a seasonal forecast system of the UK Met Office, shows reasonable skill among state-of-the-art operational seasonal forecast systems. However, the average surface temperature (T2m) in winter (December–February) of GloSea5 is particular...

Youth violence is an important public health challenge around the world, yet the literature on this problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has been limited. The present study aims to examine the prevalence of adolescent physical fighting...
Based on the positions of 1027 typhoons that passed through the Western Pacific (WP), East China Sea (ECS), and South China Sea (SCS), the results indicate that the category of marine heatwaves (MHWs) significantly decreases or dissipates after a typ...
This paper has adopted related meteorological data collected by 69 meteorological stations between 1951 and 2013 to analyze changes and drivers of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) in the hilly regions located in southern China. Results show that: (...
