The Second Decadal Leading Mode of East Asian Summer Monsoon Rainfall
BAO Qing1, YU Pei1,2
Figure 1 a Spatial pattern and corresponding principal component of the first EOF mode of the 9-yr running mean summer JJA precipitation in the East Asian EA domain 10-45#cod#x000b0;N, 100-145#cod#x000b0;E. b and c are the same as a, except for the second and third decadal modes. The fractional variances of these EOF modes are 22.6%, 17.4%, and 12.3%, respectively. All values are nondimensional as the modes are derived from a correlation coefficient matrix. d Percentage variance explained by the three leading EOF modes. The short black bars denote error ranges of each mode.
