Has the East Asian westerly jet experienced a poleward displacement in recent decades?

Y Zhang, D Huang - Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2011 - Springer
Previous studies have suggested a poleward shift of the zonally averaged jet stream due to
rapid warming over continents. However, the regional characteristics of the change in the jet …

Weakening of interannual variability in the summer East Asian upper-tropospheric westerly jet since the mid-1990s

R Lu, H Ye, JG Jhun - Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2011 - Springer
In this study, we found that the intensity of interannual variability in the summer upper-
tropospheric zonal wind has significantly weakened over Northeast Asia and the subtropical …

Impacts of recent decadal changes in Asian aerosols on the East Asian summer monsoon: roles of aerosol–radiation and aerosol–cloud interactions

B Dong, LJ Wilcox, EJ Highwood, RT Sutton - Climate Dynamics, 2019 - Springer
Anthropogenic aerosols (AA) can affect cloud and precipitation through aerosol–radiation
