Caption
Figure 1. Seasonal evolution and long-term northward migration of the East Asian summer front. (a) Seasonal evolution of the mean frontal latitude for the past (1979 to 1998, black) and recent (2006 to 2025, red) 20-year periods. The dotted lines mark the active frontal season (June 25 to July 15) and late summer (September 10 to 30), when the northward shift was most pronounced. (b, c) Occurrence frequency of the front during the active frontal season (b) and late summer (c). In late summer, the front was previously located over the Yangtze River basin and the sea south of Jeju Island, but in recent years it has moved north to the southern Korean Peninsula.
