The Quasi-Decadal Oscillation of Air-Sea System in the Northwestern Pacific Region

The data analyses found at first that the air-sea system in the northwestern Pacific region has clear systematical quasi-decadal oscillation, such as the surface air temperature, the subtropical high activities over the northwestern Pacific and the SSTA which has different time-scale features from the temporal variation with 3-4 years period of SSTA in the equatorial Pacific. In East Asia, the climate variations, such as the surface air temperature, the precipitation and the beginning date of Mei-yu in the Yangtze River basin, also have clear quasi-decadal oscillation. They can be regarded as the influ?ences of quasi-decadal oscillation of air-sea system in the northwestern Pacific region.
