dc.description.abstract	The mechanisms responsible for the East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) changes in a global warming scenario are investigated. Previous studies have shown that the EASM response to a warmer climate is primarily caused by the changes in western North Pacific Subtropical High (WNPSH), and the variations of WNPSH is attributed to the mean state of boundary conditions. However, none of these studies analyzed the impact of the remote air-sea interactions over tropical areas on the WNPSH. The main objective of this study is to investigate this remote air-sea interaction mechanism.
