Recent Research Projects:
The climate of East Asians is deeply modulating by the Indo-Pacific climate modes, especially the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events. However, the future changes in the ENSO, IOD, and their joint effects on East Asian monsoon are not yet entirely understood. It is necessary to explore these changes and find out the dominant processes connecting the Indo-Pacific climate modes with the East Asian monsoon in future projected climate using CMIP6 models.
Due to the strong interactions between ENSO and IOD, their joint effects on the East Asian monsoon may be more complex under global warming. This study provides some necessary references for the relevant government policies and even the preparations for the predictable climate disasters.
