Influence of the South Asian high‐intensity variability on the persistent heavy rainfall and heat waves in Asian monsoon regions

This study investigates the modulation of the South Asian high's (SAH) intensity variation on the persistent heavy rainfall (PHR) and heat wave (HW) events over the Asian summer monsoon regions during summer 1979–2013. The first mode of an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis performed on standardized subseasonal anomalies at 200‐hPa geopotential height over the SAH's main body (20°–5°N, 35°–110°E), reveals the intensity variation of the...
