TL;DR: In this article, a new East Asian winter monsoon index, which reflects the 300-hPa meridional wind shear associated with the jet stream, was defined to describe the seasonal mean winter temperature over Korea, Japan, and eastern China.

TL;DR: In this article, a climate shift in the mid-1990s in the summertime circulation over east Asia is described and the dynamics associated with the climate shift are discussed, and a significant decrease in the strength of zonal winds near the subtropical jet over the east Asia as well as a distinct increase in precipitation in the southeastern part of China.

TL;DR: A review of recent research on the structure and multiscale variability in the East Asian monsoon can be found in this paper, where the authors present an index that takes into account the meridional shear of a 300 hPa zonal wind to represent the intensity of the EAWM.

TL;DR: In this article, a new northeast Asian summer monsoon index is introduced to investigate the characteristics of the Northeast Asian summer rainfall variation, including Korea, Japan, and northeast China, and its possible connection to the tropical and midlatitude circulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that observed surface air temperatures during the inter-cropping season (June and July) are 040 degrees C higher over double cropping regions (DCRs) than over single cropping Regions (SCRs), with increases in the daily maximum temperature as large as 102 degrees C.
