with the quasi-biennial oscillati<strong>on</strong> in the interannual variati<strong>on</strong>s of the water vapor transport<br />

fluxes by summer m<strong>on</strong>so<strong>on</strong> flow over East Asia.<br />

Furthermore, in order to understand the physical processes including the internal and<br />

external processes that influence the variability of Asian summer m<strong>on</strong>so<strong>on</strong> over East Asia, in<br />

this paper, the interannual variati<strong>on</strong>s of sea temperature in the surface and subsurface of the<br />

tropical western Pacific are analyzed by using the sea surface temperature (SST) data of the<br />

NCEP/NCAR reanalysis dataset and the sea temperature in the subsurface of the West Pacific<br />

al<strong>on</strong>g 137°E, JMA, respectively. From the analyzed result, it is revealed that there is also a<br />

significant quasi-biennial oscillati<strong>on</strong> in the interannual variati<strong>on</strong>s of thermal state of the tropical<br />

western Pacific. And it is also shown that the quasi-biennial oscillati<strong>on</strong> in the interannual<br />

variati<strong>on</strong>s of thermal state of the tropical western Pacific has a great impact <strong>on</strong> the Asian<br />

summer m<strong>on</strong>so<strong>on</strong> and the water vapor transport driven by the m<strong>on</strong>so<strong>on</strong> flow over East Asia.<br />

Besides, the influencing mechanism of the quasi-biennial oscillati<strong>on</strong> in the interannual<br />

variati<strong>on</strong>s of thermal state of the tropical western Pacific <strong>on</strong> the interannual variati<strong>on</strong>s of Asian<br />

summer m<strong>on</strong>so<strong>on</strong> is discussed by using the telec<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> theory in this paper. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> TBO with<br />

a meridi<strong>on</strong>al tripole pattern distributi<strong>on</strong> in the interannual variability and anomaly of Asian<br />

summer m<strong>on</strong>so<strong>on</strong> over East Asia can be well explained from the East Asia/Pacific<br />

telec<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> pattern of circulati<strong>on</strong> anomalies resp<strong>on</strong>ding to forcing by the heating anomaly<br />

around the Philippines proposed by Nitta (1987), and Huang and Li (1987, 1988). And the<br />

telec<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> pattern of meridi<strong>on</strong>al wind anomalies al<strong>on</strong>g the westerly jet stream in the upper<br />

troposphere over East Asia also has an important influence <strong>on</strong> the meridi<strong>on</strong>al tripole pattern<br />

distributi<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Documentary records indicated the predominance of drought in the period of 4-2kaBP,<br />

which covered the Xia (since 2070BC), Shang (since 1600BC), and West Zhou (1041-771BC)<br />

Dynasties and so forth. Drying up of the rivers, disasters with droughts were recorded in a<br />

series of historical documentati<strong>on</strong>s, such as Chr<strong>on</strong>icles <strong>on</strong> Bamboo Clappers, Book of Odes,<br />

13<br />

Chinese Encyclopedia, and so <strong>on</strong>. Palaeo-envir<strong>on</strong>mental data; pollen, peat, TOC, C, and<br />

magnetic susceptibility provided high-resoluti<strong>on</strong> records of climatic humidity in thousands<br />

years ago. Droughts have predominated in <str<strong>on</strong>g>China</str<strong>on</strong>g> 4-2kaBP according to the<br />
