Summer High Temperature Extremes in Southeast China: Bonding with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation and East Asian Summer Monsoon Coupled System
This study investigates summer high temperature extremes (HTEs) in southeast China and their linkage with the El Nino-Southem Oscillation (ENSO) and atmospheric circulations in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). An interdecadal change in HTEs associated with the abrupt shift of the ENSO monsoon climate in the late 1980s is demonstrated. Before this interdecadal shift, the interannual variabilit
