Climate Change in Southeast Asia and Surrounding Areas

This book is mainly focused on the climate change in Southeast Asia and its adjacent regions. It summarizes results from recent scientific research based on observational analysis, data diagnosis, theoretical analysis, and model simulations. The book covers the following research areas: (1) characteristics and mechanisms of springsummer atmospheric circulation systems, (2) ocean-atmosphere-land interaction and climate variability, (3) climate effect of the Tibetan Plateau, (4) attribution of regional climate change and feedback/impact of regional climate on the global climate, and (5) seasonal-to-subseasonal climate prediction. It is anticipated that the book provides useful information for enhancing our understanding of the change in climate over Southeast Asia and the adjacent regions.

Includes the newest findings of the climate changes at the transition time of the springsummer Offers the serial observational data of the surface energy and water balance over Southeast China Shares many tips and advanced methods on the analysis of climate attributions Fills the gap between impacts of regional climate change over Southeast Asia and the global ones Presents many new results on the seasonal-to-subseasonal climate prediction
