TL;DR: In this article, a 50-year NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data reveal remarkably different interannual variability between the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) and western North Pacific summer (WNPSM) in their temporal- spatial structures, relationships to El Nino, and teleconnections with midlatitude circulations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis and other observations to depict the association of the Asian-Pacific-American climate with the East Asian jet stream (EAJS), with an emphasis on boreal winter seasons and on interannual timescales.

TL;DR: In this article, the overall performance of state-of-the-art atmospheric GCMs in simulating the climatological variations of summer monsoon rainfall over the Asian-western Pacific region and the systematic errors that are common to a group of GCMs were assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a description of the internal dynamics and boundary forcing characteristics of two major subcomponents of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM), that is, the South Asian monsoon and the East-Southeast Asian Monsoon (EAM).

TL;DR: In this article, the hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean region is analyzed focusing on climatology and interannual to interdecadal variability, in particular long-term changes related to the well-established North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) teleconnection.
