TLDR
In this article, an anomalous AGCM was used to examine the effect of latent heat anomalies associated with the Asian summer monsoon rainfall on the South Asian high (SAH).Abstract:
A diagnostic analysis reveals that on the interannual time scale the southeast–northwest movement is a dominant feature of the South Asian high (SAH), and it is closely related to the Indian and East Asian summer monsoon rainfall. The southeastward (northwestward) shift of the SAH is closely related to less (more) Indian summer monsoon rainfall and more (less) rainfall in the Yangtze River valley (YRV) over the East Asian summer monsoon region. An anomalous AGCM is utilized to examine the effect of latent heat anomalies associated with the Asian summer monsoon rainfall on the SAH. The negative latent heat anomalies over the northern Indian Subcontinent associated with a weak Indian summer monsoon stimulates an anomalous cyclone to its northwest and an anticyclone to its northeast over the eastern Tibetan Plateau and eastern China in the upper troposphere, which is responsible for the east–west shift of the SAH and more rainfall in the YRV. The positive latent heat release associated with rainfall ...read more

TL;DR: Observations from precisely dated high-resolution speleothem oxygen-carbon isotope and trace element records of Central Asia’s hydroclimate variability from Tonnel’naya cave, Uzbekistan, and Kesang cave, western China may reconcile the apparent out-of-phase hydroclimatic variability between Westerly Central Asia and Monsoon Asia.

The Meridional Displacement of the Summer Asian Jet, Silk Road Pattern, and Tropical SST Anomalies
Xiaowei Hong,Riyu Lu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the Silk Road pattern as having a significant relationship with the meridional displacement of the Asian jet (JMD), which manifests as the leading mode of upper-tropospheric zonal wind anomalies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of a barotropic model, linearized about a climatological 300-mb December-to-February time-mean flow to localized forcing, is considered and the possible existence of a strong waveguide in the Asian jet and weaker waveguides in the North Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere jets is deduced.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the East Asian monsoon circulation during the El Nino episodes of'86/87 and '91/92 and found that a southerly wind anomaly appeared in the lower troposphere along the coast of the East Asia during the mature phases of these two ELN events.
