A hybrid forecasting model for depth-averaged current velocities of underwater gliders
In this paper, we propose a hybrid forecasting model to improve the forecasting accuracy for depth-averaged current velocities (DACVs) of underwater gliders. The hybrid model is based on a discrete wavelet tra...

Different prediction skill for the East Asian winter monsoon in the early and late winter season
The prediction skill for the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) in early (November–December, ND) and late winter (January–February, JF) is investigated based on the NCEP’s Climate Forecast System, version 2 (CFS...

Has the intensity of the interannual variability in summer rainfall over South China remarkably increased?
It is indicated in this paper that there were substantial differences of interannual variability (IIV) in summer rainfall over South China (RSC) among 1960–1977, 1978–1988, and 1989–2010. Notably, both IIV and...
