The study investigates the reversal of winter surface air temperature anomalies over Central Asia and its relationship with sea surface temperature anomalies over the central tropical Pacific. The different responses of surface air temperature anomalies to sea surface temperature anomalies are attributed to the propagation of Rossby waves. The study also highlights the role of Gill-type response in driving the wave trains and the influence of local anomalies in triggering eddy-induced geopotential anomalies.
The reversal of winter surface air temperature anomalies (SATAs) over Central Asia (CA) between December and January is investigated in this study and found to be closely related to the sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) over the central tropical Pacific (CTP). The cold CTP SSTAs can lead to positive (negative) SATAs over CA in December (January). The different responses of SATAs over CA to the SSTAs are attributed to different Rossby wave propagations. In December, a wave train from the North Pacific directly reaches CA, while in January it mainly propagates in the meridional direction and cannot reach CA. The January SATAs of CA are influenced by a wave train from the North Atlantic, which is induced by CTP SSTAs indirectly. The wave trains from the North Pacific are mainly driven by the Gill-type response to the cold CTP SSTA in both December and January. In January, since the climatological subtropical jet stream over the North Pacific is stronger and situated more towards the equator, a stronger Gill-type response is excited and causes the meridional propagation of the Rossby waves. Then, this stronger Gill-type response can cause strong zonal wind anomalies over the East Pacific. Local anomalies of the synoptic-scale transient eddy can be further caused by the zonal wind anomalies and travel eastward to the North Atlantic. The eddy-induced geopotential anomalies over the North Atlantic can further trigger Rossby waves and cause the negative SATAs over CA. Numerical simulations reproduce these mechanisms.
