Paper Review 2009.11.17 Kirsten Feng
Monsoon Circulation Components • The Siberian high and the Aleutian low in the sea level pressure (SLP) field • The deep trough in themiddle-higher level over the East Asian region • The predominant northwesterlies over northeastern Asia in the lower troposphere, • The strong westerly jet stream centers at southern Japan at higher level
4 Definitions and the Bases • The land-sea pressure differences • (Shi, 1996) • The regional averaged meridional wind in the lower troposphere • (Ji and Sun, 1997;Chen et al., 2001) • The zonal wind in higher troposphere • (Jhun and Lee, 2004) • The East Asia trough • (Sun and Sun, 1995).
Correlation coefficients of each index with surface air temperature
