1 2 3 Summery Interannual variation of East Asian summer monsoon is dominated by different mode in June and July. - June : Okhotsk Sea high (mP) - July : WNPSH (mT) 1 The CP El-Nino, PDO and Indian Ocean basin wide warming affect to the East Asian summer monsoon in July. These boundary forcing make atmospheric waves and significantly intensify the East Asian summer monsoon front. 2 Based on these analysis, physical-statistical prediction model is built up for the forecast of the precipitation in July.
