| 摘 要： | During the late summer of 1979, massive changes occurred in the distribution of temperature over Eur asia north of 15°N. At 300 hPa, zonal mean temperature averaged over Eurasia along 20°-25°N decreased sharply around 23 August. An abrupt decrease in 300 hPa zonal mean temperature also occurred over extensive mid-latitude zones (40°-55°N) around 18 August, i, e., about 5 days prior to the. monsoon withdrawal over South Asia.The intensity and location of N-S oriented, vertical overturning underwent significant changes over Eurasia during the transition from summer to fall. Near 20°-25°N, zonal mean updrafts weakened considerably during the transition period (18-27 August), Around 45°N, zonal mean downdrafts and the associated cooling (radiative) rate increased considerably during the transition period,Near 15FFN, 300 hPa zonal mean temperature fluctuated nearly periodically with an approximate 40-day period. These fluctuations appear to be associated with a small imbalance between 40-day filtered adiabatic cooling (heating) and diabatic heating (cooling).
