An inverse relationship between South China Sea summer monsoon intensity and ENSO

Correlations between the South China Sea summer (June-September) monsoon (SCSSM) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) for the past 32 years (1979–2010) were analyzed. As a result, a higher (lower) SST in the Niño-3.4 areas was associated with a weaker (stronger) SCSSM intensity. To examine the ca...
