| Abstract: | A zonal domain primitive equation modeling system(ZDMS) is used to study the effects of the initial heating anomalies over the Tibetan Plateau and the western Pacific on the East Asian and the Chinese summer climate,the relative importance and the mechanisms are discussed.Results show that in spite of the different locations of the heating anomalies the influences of the two anomalyareas are much similar to each other when the scaling of the two areas is the same.The two areas of heating anomalies have their own affecting domains in which one is more important than the other.In the western Pacific the heating anomaly over the western Pacific is more evident and in the Tibetan Plateau area the heating anomaly over the Tibetan Plateau is more obvious.For the east part of China the effects of the two heating anomalies both exist and almost have the equal importance.The initial anomaly of the sea surface temperature(SST) over the western Pacific can be kept during the entire time integration while in the Tibetan Plateau it can not be maintained. |
