New model predicts summer rainfall in China based on subtropical high interactions.
The researchers studied how the summer subtropical high and sea surface temperatures (SST) are connected in the Pacific Ocean. They looked at more than just the location and strength of the high pressure system, focusing on other factors that could help predict it. By analyzing data from December to November, they found that the size, position, and intensity of the high pressure system are linked to SST. They also discovered that the high pressure system can influence SST, and vice versa. This information can help predict summer rainfall in China.
