Abstract

Abstract

Several sensitivity experiments are done by using the T42L9 global spectral model developed by IAP for investigating the influence of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in different regions on the South China Sea Summer Monsoon (SCSM).It shows that when SSTA presents a La Nina pattern, the onset date of SCSM will be earlier and the convection in the South China Sea region will be consistently stronger, and vice versa.Specially, SSTA in the central and eastern Pacific plays a main role in the variation of the onset and the strength of SCSM.When SSTA of this area is lower, the onset of SCSM comes earlier, the strength of SCSM becomes stronger, otherwise, the conclusion is contrary.The influence of SSTA in the tropical West Pacific on the onset date of SCSM is not clear, but it strongly affects the strength of the monsoon.The warmer SST in this region will bring about a stronger SCSM, and vice versa.The relationship between SSTA in the tropical western Indian Ocean and SCSM has been investigated.It is found that the SSTA in this region can influence the onset of SCSM, and plays a role similar to the one in the eastern Pacific.The above results also reflect that the activity of SCSM has a close relationship with the El Nino or La Nina events.The onset and the strength change of the SCSM are obviously influenced by the heating status anomaly on the tropic Pacific through the Walker circulation.
