An overview of Chinese contribution to Coupled Model Intercomparison Project-Phase 5
(CMIP5) is presented. The performances of five Chinese Climate/Earth System Models that …

With simple analytical arguments, we suggest that the subtropical westerly jets, the
equatorial easterly winds, the westerly ducts (ie regions of westerly winds over the Equator) …

Being able to assimilate satellite radiances that are affected by cloud and precipitation is a
key goal for the Met Office, as it is expected to provide improvements to forecast skill both at …

We study the zonal momentum budget of the deep upper tropics in the context of present
and future climates. In the zonal mean, as is known, a robust balance exists between the …

A Tibetan ozone low was found in the 1990s after the Antarctic ozone hole. Whether this
ozone low has been recovering from the beginning of the 2000s following the global ozone …

The cryosphere is a prominent factor in and an indicator of global climate change. It serves
one of the most direct and sensitive feedbacks in the climate system, and plays an important …

This study analyzes the ability of statistical downscaling models in simulating the long-term
trend of temperature and associated causes at 48 stations in northern China in January and …

The development of vertical vorticity under adiabatic condition is investigated by virtue of the
view of potential vorticity and potential temperature (PV-θ) and from a Lagrangian …

Considering the non-uniform saturation of the real atmosphere, a diagnostic study of a
torrential rain event is performed from the perspective of the anomaly of the generalized …

The zonal momentum budget of the deep upper tropics is studied in the context of present
