Climatological Features of the Global Tropical Subsidence Region Based on Satellite Observations

Consisting of subtropical highs and tropical buffer zone, the global tropical subsidence region is the subsidence branches of Hadley cell. Walker circulation and monsoon circulation which are important components of the global general circulation. This region is closely connected with Asian monsoon. Based on long-term satellite observations of OLR (Outgoing Longwave Radiation) and HIRS-Tbl2 (the bright temperature from High-resolution Infra-red Radiation Sounder Channel 12 (6.7 Μm)), the climatological features over the global tropical subsidence region are studied in this paper and the main findings are as follows: This project was supported by the State Key Project of the SCSME and the National NSF No. 49875016.
