Correction to: Intensification and Northward extension of Northwest Pacific anomalous anticyclone in El Niño decaying mid-summer: an energetic perspective

The Northwest Pacific (NWP) anomalous anticyclone (AAC) intensifies and extends northward from El Nino decaying early to mid-summer, despite Nino-induced sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the North Indian Ocean, Atlantic subtropical NWP. present study suggests intra-seasonal variations of AAC are induced by local mean state changes investigates underlying mechanisms perspective energetics. Compared with summer, efficiency dry energy conversion flow Nino-excited pattern increases mid-summer. moist feedback over NWP is also enhanced mid-summer due onset climatological summer monsoon. Both them contribute intensification pattern. Moreover, East Asia–NWP found favor shift preferred latitude circulation anomalies. Thus, more northward-extended Empirical orthogonal function analyses further confirm that extension stems internal dynamic mode. highlights both SST atmospheric dynamics paramount importance for summer.
