Tsunami hazard and mitigation analysis for bathing beaches in China based on numerical simulations
Bathing beaches are usually the first to suffer disasters when tsunamis occur, owing to their proximity to the sea. Several large seismic fault zones are located off the coast of China. The impact of each tsun...

Observations and modelling of the travel time delay and leading negative phase of the 16 September 2015 Illapel, Chile tsunami
The systematic discrepancies in both tsunami arrival time and leading negative phase (LNP) were identified for the recent transoceanic tsunami on 16 September 2015 in Illapel, Chile by examining the wave chara...

Hazard analysis of tsunami disaster on the Maritime Silk Road
The Maritime Silk Road is not only a passageway for business and trade, but also the road of friendship between eastern and western civilizations. The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 caused major damage to severa...

Was the North American extreme climate in winter 2013/14 a SST forced response?
This study analyzed the possible causes of the atmospheric circulation anomalies responsible for the severe North American (NA) climate in the winter 2013/14. The seasonal (December-January-February) mean circ...

What drove the Pacific and North America climate anomalies in winter 2014/15?
In late 2014 and early 2015, the canonical atmospheric response to the El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event was not observed in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, although Niño3.4 index excee...

Estimating ENSO predictability based on multi-model hindcasts
Based on hindcasts of seasonal forecast systems participating in the North American Multi-Model Ensemble, the seasonal dependence of predictability of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) was estimated. The...

Is the interdecadal variation of the summer rainfall over eastern China associated with SST?
The present study examined the major features of the interdecadal variation of the summer rainfall over eastern China (IVRC) and the possible association with sea surface temperature (SST). We noted that the f...

Open AccessTropospheric biennial oscillation of summer monsoon rainfall over East Asia and its association with ENSO
Based on observations and a set of Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP)-type simulations, the climatic characteristics and dominant spatial patterns of summer rainfall on tropospheric biennial osci...

Climate mean, variability and dominant patterns of the Northern Hemisphere wintertime mean atmospheric circulation in the NCEP CFSv2
In this study, the climate mean, variability, and dominant patterns of the Northern Hemisphere wintertime mean 200 hPa geopotential height (Z200) in a CMIP and a set of AMIP simulations from the National Cent...

Improved reliability of ENSO hindcasts with multi-ocean analyses ensemble initialization
Currently, ensemble seasonal forecasts using a single model with multiple perturbed initial conditions generally suffer from an “overconfidence” problem, i.e., the ensemble evolves such that the spread among ...
