Modulation of the cold tongue mode (CTM) in tropical cyclone genesis over the western North Pacific during 1975–2021
The cold tongue mode (CTM) in the tropical Pacific enhanced with the global warming in the recent decades. Here, we show that the change of oceanic thermal condition and atmospheric circulation plays a critical role in the tropical cyclones (TCs) genesis in the western North Pacific (WNP). The frequency of TCs in the WNP decreases with its northwest movement, when the CTM transitions from its negative phase in 1975–1997(P1) to positive phase in 1…
Remote linkage of record-breaking U.S. Tornado outbreaks to the tropical cyclone in western North Pacific in December 2021
The frequency of tornadoes usually peaks during spring to summer rather than winter in climatology. However, the United States (U.S.) experienced more than 200 tornadoes in December 2021, which broke the historical record and caused 87 fatalities. Historically, the frequency of tornadoes in December tends to increase under El Niño conditions. Our results show that the monthly large-scale weather regime conducive to these record-breaking tornado o…
Triple-dip La Niña in 2020–23
The triple-dip La Niña in 2020–23 is characterized by persisting southeasterly wind anomalies over the tropical central and eastern Pacific. Our results show that the wind anomalies are associated with the anomalously negative phase of the first two leading modes of the annual cycle (antisymmetric and symmetric modes about the equator) of sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific. The two modes account for 82.2% and 13.5% of the total…
Subseasonal swing of cold and warm extremes between Eurasia and North America in winter of 2020/21
Eurasia and North America experienced a robust subseasonal swing of surface air temperature (SAT) extremes in 2020/21 winter, featuring severe cold (warm) extremes over Eurasia before (after) 15 January and conversely over North America. This sharp subseasonal swing of intercontinental cold and warm extremes exerted considerable severe impacts on human activities and the global economy. Here we examined the initiation and physical process based o…
Tropical Pacific cold tongue mode triggered by enhanced warm pool convection due to global warming
A cold tongue mode (CTM) formed in the 1980s as a La Niña-like stepwise response to recent global warming; however, a consensus has not been reached on the mechanism underlying the CTM formation. Here, we attribute the CTM to the enhanced deep convection of the warm pool regions over the western Pacific and south of North America. Increases in the sea surface temperatures in the two Pacific warm pool regions that occurred due to global warming ex…
