英文摘要: The aim of this study is to explore the long-term trends in the distribution of global monsoon precipitation over recent decades using the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) data set. In addition, the potential4 mechanisms are examined by applying the atmospheric moisture budget decomposition method to the outputs from the ERA-Interim medium-range weather forecasting reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Changes in global monsoon precipitation are primarily thermodynamically caused by changes in specific humidity and dynamically caused by changes in circulation, as well as by changes in moisture transport that are driven by transient eddies and local evaporation. The results show that the increasing trends in global summer monsoon precipitation from 1979 to 2016 were dominated by contributions from the southern Asian, South African, and North American monsoon regions and were driven by the response of atmospheric circulation to the enhanced east–west thermal contrast in the tropical Pacific. We find that changes in the sea surface temperature (SST) patterns promote increased low-level vertical velocities in monsoon regions, leading to moisture convergence through divergent circulation anomalies when combined with the climatological humidity field. Hence, the processes result in increasing trends in monsoon precipitation. In addition, evaporation makes increasing contributions to monsoon precipitation throughout the world, except in the South American monsoon region. Moreover, subtropical regions in the East Pacific (the Atlantic) may be major sources of water vapour that have supported increases in precipitation over the southern Asian and North American monsoon regions (the South African monsoon region) in recent decades. © 2018 Royal Meteorological Society Citation statistics:
