Interannual variability in the onset of the South China Sea summer monsoon from 1997 to 2014

Using observed and reanalysis datasets, the South China Sea summer monsoon (SCSSM) onset process is analyzed in each year from 1997 to 2014. Regional mean (5–20°N, 110–120°E) 850 hPa zonal wind, precipitation, and SST are used as indices to describe SCSSM onset. Three distinct onset types are identi...
