This study employs composite analysis to investigate the differences in the influences of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the Western Pacific (WP) and the Indian Ocean (IO) on the ASMA and water vapor in the upper troposphere during summer. The underlying physical mechanisms were further explored. The results indicate that the warm SSTs in the WP have a greater impact on the intensity of the ASMA than those in the IO in summer. On the contrary, the cold SSTs in the IO have a greater impact on intensity of the ASMA than those in the WP in summer. The difference in the impact of SSTs in the WP and IO on the boundaries of the ASMA is relatively small. During positive SST anomalies in the WP, the increase in tropospheric temperature in South Asia and the strengthening of Walker circulation in the WP both contribute to the enhancement of the ASMA. The variations in tropospheric temperature and Walker circulation caused by positive SST anomalies in the IO are similar to those in the WP, except that the rising branch of the Walker circulation is located in the central and western IO. The decrease in SST in the WP region causes insignificant changes in the ASMA. During the cold SST period in the IO, the significant decrease in tropospheric temperature and the weakening of the Walker circulation in the IO region lead to a significant decrease in the intensity of the ASMA at the southern ASMA. When the SST in the WP and IO regions is warmer, the high value centers of water vapor in the troposphere generally coincide with the high value centers of temperature, accompanied by enhanced convection, significantly increasing the water vapor south of the ASMA. The anomalous sinking movement in the Western Pacific leads to relatively small changes in water vapor from the near-surface to 150 hPa over the southeast of the ASMA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16162922","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,10]],"date-time":"2024-08-10T06:25:24Z","timestamp":1723271124000},"page":"2922","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparison of the Impacts of Sea Surface Temperature in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean on the Asian Summer Monsoon Anticyclone and Water Vapor in the Upper Troposphere"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Luyao","family":"Chao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, School of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"given":"Hongying","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, School of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2383-0160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoxu","family":"Tu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, School of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"given":"Jiaying","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, School of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]},{"given":"Kailong","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, School of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Flohn, H.
