- Abstract
The timing of the July 2018 heavy rainfall and heat wave events coincided with the distinct lifecycle of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) featuring the active, break, and revival phases (Chen I et al., i [1]; Ding, [3]). Here, the authors call for an integrated view of the amplified EASM "lifecycle" that influences the extreme Baiu rainfall and subsequent heat wave in the same season, as well as the roles mid-latitude short-wave amplification and active TISO played in 2018. The extent to which these circulation features collectively modulate the EASM lifecycle, which could strengthen the Baiu rainfall, heat wave, and typhoons combined, challenges the research in subseasonal predictability of compound extreme events.
