Effect of the westward-propagating zonal wind anomaly on the initial development of quasi-biweekly oscillation over the South China Sea during early summer

The characteristics of quasi-biweekly oscillation (QBWO) over the South China Sea during early summer are investigated. Composite results demonstrate that QBWO convection and the meridional wind anomaly exhibit local variation, while the zonal wind anomaly displays zonal propagation. Besides, emerge...
