This study assesses how well the East Asian monsoon index (EAMI), developed on the basis of zonal and meridional land-sea thermal contrasts over the Asia-Pacific region, can represent the seasonal and interannual variations of the East Asian summer and winter monsoons (EASM and EAWM). It suggests that the EAMI can be used to estimate the timing of the onset and the relative intensity of the EASM, characterized by dominant meridional circulation and rainfall patterns over the Asia-Pacific region, as well as represent the EAWM, which is dominated by a nearly zonal dipole structure composed of Siberian high and Aleutian low prevailing in the middle and high latitudes. The EAMI is therefore of benefit in understanding the seasonal evolution of the East Asian monsoon circulation and interannual variation of the individual monsoons both in summer and in winter.
