Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007403
A large-scale, quasi-stationary cyclonic circulation that develops within the monsoon trough, particularly over the western North Pacific and South China Sea during the summer monsoon. This feature is characterized by a broad area of low pressure and convergent winds, often acting as a genesis region for tropical cyclones. Its presence significantly influences regional rainfall distribution.
