Spring rainfall in Taiwan during February–April (FMA) shows a profound decreasing trend in the period 1980–2022. This decreasing trend is found to be jointly modulated by the trend components of global warming and interdecadal evolutions of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) from its positive to negative phase over the past four decades. In contrast, interdecadal oscillation components of the PDO weakly impact interdecadal...

The modern coast of China is characterized by complicated hydrology, which might be a potential factor shaping genetic structure of marine organisms. Tridentiger barbatus is a widespread benthic goby in coastal China whose range expansion might depend on larval dispersal in its spawning season. We explored the genetic structure of T. barbatus and its interrelationships with coastal currents, planktonic larval duration, and Ple...

Typhoon Morakot (2009), which made landfall in Taiwan during August 7–9, 2009, produced the highest rainfall and became the deadliest typhoon ever recorded in Taiwan since 1958. To assess the role of anthropogenic climate change in the typhoon‐related torrent, we compare the water budget between a pair of cloud‐resolving sensitivity experiments. The pair consists of a control simulation that reproduces Typhoon Morakot (2009) i...
