Effects of ENSO on Autumn Rainfall in Central Vietnam by Thang Van Vu, Hieu Trong Nguyen, Thang Van Nguyen, Hiep Van Nguyen, Huong Thi Thanh Pham, Lan Thi Nguyen

“…This reduction seems to be caused by a weakening of the North East monsoon circulation, which appears to be linked to an anomalous anticyclonic vortex and a positive sea level pressure anomaly over the East Sea. In addition, the disappearance of a secondary moisture source over the southern region of the East Sea also favors the reduction in rainfall over this region. …”
