| Abstract: | The relationship
between polar sea ice anomalies and the precipitation and temperature anomalies over China
is investigated by performing singular value decomposition (SVD) analyses. The first three
coupling modes have been studied. Analyses show that there exist key areas of polar sea ice
which are highly related with the precipitation and temperature anomalies over China. Different
spatial anomaly patterns of these areas of polar sea ice are followed by different spatial
anomaly patterns of the precipitation and temperature over China. |
