A JPDF-based definition of the Western Pacific Subtropical High (IMAGE)
Caption
This study develops a novel method to define the Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) by using the joint probability distribution of geopotential height and vertical velocity, rather than relying on a fixed geopotential-height contour. The present method defines the WPSH boundary by using characteristic subsidence, thereby underscoring the dynamically active, weather-relevant body of the WPSH system.
