1) The climate in DJF 2012/13 2) Features of 2012/13 EAWM 3) Possible influencing factors of EAWM 4) Summary Outline
3
冷! cold 暖! warm Temperature Anomalies (DJF 2012/13) colder than normal in most places of the world. 1-4 ℃ below normal in central- northeastern Asia, with temperatures more than 4 ℃ below normal in northern East Asian and parts of southern Russia.
4
Monthly Temperature Anomalies Dec 2012 Jan 2013 Feb 2013 strong intra-seasonal variations 8-12 ℃ below normal in central and western Siberia in December, and in late winter, the colder regions shifted eastward.
5
DJF Temperature index of China In DJF 2012/13, the seasonal mean temperatures over China was -3.7°C, with 0.3°C below normal (-3.4 ℃ ).

10
Time series of EAWM index StrongWeak EAWM =U500(80-120E;25-35N)-U500(80-120E,50-60N) as proposed by Y.F Zhu(2008) East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) was in the stronger than normal period of inter-decadal variation, was stronger than normal for 6th consecutive year
11
Time series of SH index The Siberian High (SH) was also in the stronger than normal period of inter-decadal variation, but in last winter, SH was weaker than normal
12
EAWM The first three components of EOF of winter temperature fields Temperature anomalies in winter 2012/13
13
EAWM Atmospheric circulation anomalies correspond to EAPC-1 Atmospheric circulation anomalies in winter 2012/13
14
EAWM 850hPa wind anomalies correspond to EAPC-1 850hPa wind anomalies in winter 2012/13 southerly wind anomalies easterly wind anomalies
15
Daily Siberian High index exhibited strong intra-seasonal variations, stronger than normal in the early winter, weaker than normal in the middle winter and changed from strong to weak in the late winter
16
Daily EAWM index StrongWeak strong intra-seasonal variations

a) AO
19
Arctic Oscillation kept negative phase
20
Correlation between AO and Surface air temperature Correlation between AO and 200hPa zonal wind
21
b) pre-autumn Artic sea ice
22
Distribute of pre-autumn Artic sea ice Arctic sea ice extent was significantly lower than normal since summer 2012. The Arctic Sea Ice Extent and concentration in Sep.2012 are the smallest since 1979
23
Studies show that ASI anomaly in Sep. has significantly negative correlation with Siberian High.
24
c) Propagation of positive stratospheric anomalies
25
weak polar vortex in the stratosphere stratospheric sudden warming Downward propagation of positive stratospheric anomalies
26
150hPa outgoing heat flux 20hPa zonal wind an anomalous strengthen of outgoing heat flux the convergence of heat flux at stratosphere lead to the deceleration of polar night jet suppressed the outgoing of heat flux, lead to a sudden warming happened in the stratosphere. The atmospheric circulation adjust to the radiation balance in the non-adiabatic process, resulting in strengthen of polar night jet. In this process, polar night jet was weaker than normal, which was conducive to the changing of AO from positive to negative, or the persistence of negative AO

29
Summary In DJF 2012/2013, temperatures were extremely below normal over East Asian, with key circulations as following: -The EAWM intensity exhibited strong intra-seasonal variations -Arctic Oscillation kept negative phase -Low pre-autumn Arctic Sea ice might be the influencing factors on EAWM -The downward propagation of stratospheric anomalies was the possible causes of intra-seasonal climatic variation over East Asian.
