Unleashing the power of the Sun: the increasing impact of the solar cycle on off-season super typhoons since the 1990s

The occurrence of super typhoons outside the normal typhoon season can result in devastating loss of life and property damage. Our research reveals that the 11-year solar cycle can affect the incidence of thes...

Seasonally-reversed trends in the subtropical Northwestern Pacific linked to asymmetric AMO influences

This study identifies seasonally-reversed trends in Kuroshio strength and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) within the western North Pacific (WNP) since the 1990s, specifically in the 22° N–28° N region. These t...

Intensified modulation of the Pacific north equatorial current bifurcation by the southern annular mode since the early 1990s

Long-term reanalysis data were used to assess inter-decadal to decadal modulations of the North Equatorial Current (NEC) bifurcation in the Pacific after the early 1990s. The wind stress curl anomaly (WSCA) in...

Impact of the southern annular mode on extreme changes in indian rainfall during the early 1990s

The variability in rainfall amounts in India draws much attention because it strongly influences the country’s ecological and social systems. Indian rainfall is associated with climate factors, including El Ni...

Nonstationary El Niño teleconnection on the post-summer upwelling off Vietnam

Summer upwelling has often been observed off Vietnam in the South China Sea (SCS). Occasional disappearance of the upwelling has attracted much attention because it modulates the regional climate and harms sur...

East China Sea increasingly gains limiting nutrient P from South China Sea

The Taiwan Strait (TS) directly connects two of the richest fishing grounds in the world - the East China Sea (ECS) and the South China Sea (SCS). Carbon and nutrient supplies are essential for primary product...

Coherent Response of Vietnam and Sumatra-Java Upwellings to Cross-Equatorial Winds

Upwelling off Vietnam in the South China Sea (SCS) and the Sumatra–Java upwelling in the Indian Ocean significantly modulate regional variation in climate. Although located in different hemispheres, these upwe...

Distinct impacts of the 1997–98 and 2015–16 extreme El Niños on Japanese eel larval catch

Extraordinarily poor recruitment of Japanese eels in East Asia has been generally reported during extreme El Niño years. However, the scenario failed to take place during the 2015–16 extreme event. In this stu...

Discordant multi-decadal trend in the intensity of the Kuroshio along its path during 1993–2013

The Kuroshio transports warm water in the Pacific poleward from the tropics and plays a crucial role in modulating surrounding climate. Based on independent data sets, we demonstrated that the Kuroshio weakene...

Intrusion of the Kuroshio into the South and East China Seas

The northward-flowing Kuroshio often intrudes westward and modulates the water masses of the South and East China Seas. These intrusions transcend multiple scales in time and space, which we demonstrate here u...
