Abstract
Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) simulated warmer sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the South China Sea (SCS) for the mid-Holocene scenario compared to the pre-Industrial. Previous sensitivity experiments using the atmospheric component of the CCSM4, the Community Atmospheric Model version 4 (CAM4), showed that warmer SSTs in the SCS suppresses rainfall over Borneo, which is in-contrary to the effect of the stronger insolation over the island. In this study, we show that warmer SSTs in the SCS, as simulated in the CCSM4, is responding to a weaker low-level wind impacted by the stronger convectional rainfall over Borneo due to stronger insolation. These results suggest that warmer SSTs in the SCS might act as a negative feedback which damps the effect of the stronger insolation on rainfall changes over Borneo.
