Interdecadal Change of the Relationship between Early Summer Precipitation over Northeast China and Spring Land Surface Thermal Anomalies in West Asia
Recent studies have suggested a close relationship between early summer precipitation over Northeast China and spring land surface thermal anomalies in West Asia.However,is this relationship the same over the multidecadal timescale?This study aims to identify the long-term variation in this relationship and the accompanying atmospheric circulation anomalies by using singular value decomposition,correlation analysis,and linear regression based on the ECMWF Reanalysis v5(ERA5)atmospheric data,ERA-Land reanalysis,and CN05 gridded observations during 1961-2020(60 yr).It is found that an interdecadal transition of the relationship between the spring surface temperat-ure/thermal anomalies in West Asia and early summer precipitation over Northeast China occurred around 1990,and the temperature-rainfall relationship intensified after 1990.Based on the Mann-Kendall test,the study period was di-vided into Pl(1961-1990)and P2(1991-2020).Further analysis indicated significant differences in the correspond-ing atmospheric circulation before and after the interdecadal transition.During P2,spring land surface warming in West Asia corresponded to a significantly enhanced early summer Circumglobal Teleconnection(CGT),which in turn suppressed the Northeast China cold vortex(NECV).The changes in circulation patterns further resulted in weakened moisture transport,strengthened subsidence,reduced precipitation triggering,and eventually,weakened precipitation.Additionally,the results suggest that the interdecadal transition of the relationship and the changes in the corresponding atmospheric circulation may be related to activities of the westerly jet stream.The second princi-pal component(PC2)mode of empirical orthogonal function(EOF)of zonal wind in June over Asia demonstrated a pattern similar to that of the atmospheric circulation corresponding to land surface thermal anomalies.In addition,during P2,the PC2 mode of the westerly jet stream in June showed a strong positive correlation with the NECV,thereby suppressing precipitation over Northeast China.Therefore,it is concluded that the westerly jet stream may have affected the interdecadal transition of the temperature-rainfall relationship around 1990.
