DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1967
Abstract: Windborne migration of insects is significantly influenced by meteorological factors and phenomena, such as seasonal atmospheric circulation. Large-scale movement of air provides the background for all weather and climate events. Hence, population abundances of migratory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2020.105079
Abstract: Abstract The cause for zonal oscillation of the western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) on a quasi-biweekly (10–20-day) timescale was investigated. Both relative vorticity and geopotential height anomalies exhibit a maximum activity center over the western… read more here.
