The impact of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) on the Asian summer monsoon is investigated using a coupled atmosphere-ocean global general circulation model by imposing the AMO-associated sea surface temperature anomalies in the Atlantic as boundary forcing, and allowing atmosphere-ocean interactions outside the Atlantic. The positive AMO phase, characterized by anomalous warm North Atlantic and cold South Atlantic, leads to strong Southeast and east Asian summer monsoons, and late withdrawal of the Indian summer monsoon. These changes of monsoons are mainly through coupled atmosphere-ocean feedbacks in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans and tropospheric temperature changes over Eurasia in response to the imposed forcing in the Atlantic. The results are in agreement with the observed climate changes in China corresponded to the AMO phases. They suggest a non-local mechanism for the Asian summer monsoon variability and provide an alternative view to understanding its interdecadal variation during the twentieth century.
