Research Abstract

Persistent anomaly patterns of the atmospheric circulation that influence weather/climatic conditions over Japan are found to be maintained not only through kinetic energy conversion but also (available) potential energy conversion from the westerly jetstream. In addition, the surface wind anomalies associated with the anomaly pattern in summer act to change evaporation over the South China Sea and thereby moisture transport into the region of anomalous cumulus convection to exert positive feedback on it, as a characteristic of a moist dynamical mode.
