Influence of teleconnection patterns on global moisture transport during peak precipitation month

Teleconnection patterns are an important feature influencing the variability of moisture transport. This study explores influence Arctic, Antarctic, Pacific-North American, and El Niño–Southern Oscillations on transport from major oceanic continental sources during peak precipitation month. The positive phase American teleconnection pattern increases Pacific Ocean western North America, while negative Atlantic over eastern with differences between phases higher than 1.5 mm·day−1 most area when preferred. Arctic Oscillation importance Mediterranean as a source for Europe contribution increased in more 2 Europe. Antarctic favours Indian basin Africa, southern is northwestern Africa. For Oscillation, main occurs South America Niño events, increasing contributions southeastern Brazil. events also increase America. In contrast, La Niña Central northern being latter observed.
