Diagnostic study of the variation of Indian Ocean sea surface temperature and its impact on Indian summer monsoon rainfalls;

The Teleconnection Characteristics between the Precipitation on the East Side of Tibetan Plateau and Indian Ocean SST;

Effect of Indian Ocean SSTA on China Temperature Anomaly;

Datasets including precipitation of 35 observational stations of the east side of Tibetan Plateau and the Indian Ocean SST during 50 years(1951-2000) have been used to analysis their teleconnection characteristics by using SVD method.

With the calulation method of Chebyshev Polynomials in irregular grids and stepwise regression,a system of forecast equations between the Indian Ocean surface temperature and the rainfall of rainy season in Yunnan with precipitation anomaly value in Yunnan is set up.

In this study,periodical fluctuation and links with sea surface temperature(SST) of rainfall time series in the Loess Plateau of China are discussed.

By using MODIS images of EOS satellite as data source,and taking coastal region of Fujian as a demonstration site,the retrieval experiment of sea surface temperature was carried out based on MODIS multi-channel data,and the precision of MODIS sea surface temperature was verified and analyzed with measurements of ten stations in coastal region of Fujian during 2003- 2004.

We have assessed the characteristics of coral δ~(18)O signals responding to environmental conditions by comparing coral δ~(18)O variation with a local record of sea surface temperature(SST) and sea surface salinity(SSS),respectively.
