A physical retrieval approach based on the one-dimensional variational (1D-Var) algorithm is applied in this paper to simultaneously retrieve atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles under both clear-sky and partly cloudy conditions from FY-4A GIIRS
The El Ni?o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is traditionally regarded as the most important factor modulating the interannual variation of the South China Sea summer monsoon (SCSSM) onset. A preceding El Ni?o (La Ni?a) usually tends to be followed by a delaye
In this study, the predictability of the El Ni?o-South Oscillation (ENSO) in an operational prediction model from the perspective of initial errors is diagnosed using the seasonal hindcasts of the Beijing Climate Center System Model, BCC_CSM1.1(m). Foreca
In this study, variation in the frequency of thermal discomfort days over China during the period of 1961?2014, including heat discomfort days (HDDs) and cold discomfort days (CDDs), and the influence of external forcings on it are discussed. HDDs are the
We present characterizations of the dynamic turbulence in the lower stratosphere measured by a new balloon-based system designed for detecting finer scale dynamic turbulence. The balloon-based system included a constant temperature anemometer (CTA) operat
The midwinter suppression (MWS) of the North Pacific storm track (NPST) has been an active research topic for decades. Based on the daily-mean NCEP/NCAR reanalysis from 1948 to 2018, this study investigates the MWS-related atmospheric circulation characte
Correlation-coefficient fields are widely used in short-term climate prediction research. The most frequently used significance test method for the correlation-coefficient field was proposed by Livezey, in which the number of significant-correlation latti
