摘要:Low-level wind can be used to represent winter monsoon as an index constructed from 850 hPa wind.The vector empirical orthogonal function (VEOF) method is used to decompose variability of the low-level wind from JRA-25 reanalysis data during the boreal winter (December to February) over the Indochina peninsular.The first VEOF mode exhibits tropical anomalous easterlies over the southern region and anomalous southeasterlies over the central of region.A spatial pattern in positive phase of the first mode exhibits anomalous northeasterlies, and the pattern of negative phase reveals anomalous southwesterlies over the interior of the region.The variability of winter monsoon over the Indochina peninsular shows interannual variation, and long term variability is of interest.The relationship of winter monsoon over the Indochina peninsular to the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM), which is a major climate feature during boreal winter, is investigated and discussed.
