Impact of the Anomalous Latent Heat Flux Over the Kuroshio Extension on Western North American Rainfall in Spring: Interannual Variation and Mechanism

Impact of the Anomalous Latent Heat Flux Over the Kuroshio Extension on Western North American Rainfall in Spring: Interannual Variation and Mechanism

The Kuroshio and its extension (KE) significantly influences regional climate through meridional heat transport from the tropical ocean. In this study, the observational and reanalysis datasets are used to investigate the impact of the latent heat flux (LHF) over the KE region on downstream rainfall...
