A premonitory sign of an anomalous SST over the eastern equatorial Pacific shows up in the North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) 18 months earlier,and the air-sea relationship between the STMW and the anomalous SST over the eastern equatorial Pacific is shown.This premonitory connection involves an air-sea coupling between the longtime persistent mid-latitude sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) induced by the remote re-emergence of the STMW and the following spring subtropical atmospheric circulation anomalies.An examination of the air-sea interaction reveals that the following spring subtropical atmospheric circulation,which responds to the longtime persistent SSTA,is dominated by the anomalous negative (positive) geopotential height downstream of the negative (positive) SSTA in the strong (weak) STMW case.Thus,the tropics adjust to these anomalies through coupled dynamics,producing positive (negative) SST anomalies over the eastern equatorial Pacific.A cold water event that occurred over the eastern equatorial Pacific during winter 2008-09 was successfully forecasted by the weak summer STMW index in 2007.The evolution of this process for the air-sea interactions from the autumn of 2007 to December 2008 is presented.     

A FURTHER STUDY ON INTERACTION BETWEEN ANOMALOUS WINTER MONSOON IN EAST ASIA AND EL NINO

The interaction between anomalous winter monsoon in East Asia and El Nino is further stud-ied in this paper.The new results still more proved a previous conclusion:there are clear interac-tions between El Nino and winter monsoon in East Asia.The continual westerly burst andstronger cumulus convection over the equatorial central-western Pacific caused by stronger wintermonsoon in East Asia can respectively excite anomalous oceanic Kelvin wave and stronger atmo-spheric intraseasonal oscillation in the tropics,then excite the El Nino event through air-sea inter-action.In El Nino winter,there are warmer and weaker winter monsoons in East Asia.The El Ni-no will still reduce the intensity of intraseasonal oscillation and leads it to be barotropic structure.     

近50年来ENSO与祁连山区气温、降水和径流的对应关系

El Nino and La Nina are the events concerned internationally. The correspondingrelationship between El Nino events, temperature, precipitation and runoff in the Qilian mountain areaare analyzed according to the date from the weather and the hydrometric stations in the area, theresults show that effects of El Nino events to temperature, precipitation and runoff are different in thedifferent time and zones. When El Nino occurs, temperature rises, but precipitation and runoff decreasein the whole Qilian mountain area, especially in the east and middle parts of the area. Temperaturerises, precipitation and runoff still decrease in the eastern Qilian mountain area in the next year ElNino occurring, but decrease extent is fewer. There are not obvious relationship between temperature,precipitation and runoff with El Nino events in the western Qilian mountain area.     

SOI和El Nino与湘潭汛期洪涝的关系

本文研究了湘潭汛期（4～9月）洪涝与南方涛动指数（SOI）和厄尔尼诺（ElNino）事件的遥相关联系。结果表明，南方涛动指数异常偏负（弱）以及厄尔尼诺事件的滞后影响对湘潭汛期洪涝的短期气候预报有很好的指示性。在统计分析的基础上，我们建立了日常业务应用的湘潭汛期洪涝预报物理模型。     

INFLUENCE OF EL NINO ON WEATHER AND CLIMATE IN CHINA

El Nino as well as the Southern Oscillation is one of the strongest signals known so far over climatic noise ininterannual variations of the atmosphere and oceans.A great number of studies have shown definitely relationships be-tween the events and climatic anomalies in China.In this review,observational results obtained in the recent severalyears are first summarized.Then the possible physical mechanisms on the influence of El Nino are presented and,finally,the associated problems are discussed.

厄尔尼诺事件与强潮汐的对应关系

北太平洋对北极的半封闭状态和南太平洋对南极的开放状态是厄尔尼诺事件发生的构造基础，强潮汐导致南北半球之间的流体对流和北太平洋海洋热能周期性向南太平洋输送。日、地、月和行星相对位置的变化决定了潮汐的强度，其变化规模与全球气候变化周期相对应。强潮汐加大垂直方向和水平方向海水的混合，使西太平洋和北太平洋暖水变冷，使东南太平洋冷水变暖，形成厄尔尼诺事件。行星冲日、近地潮、日月大潮、日食、月食的叠加所形成的强潮汐与厄尔尼诺事件发生时间有非常好的对应关系。     

全球气候背景下厄尔尼诺对中国东部汛期降水的影响

对厄尔尼诺事件进行了定义，并详细讨论了不同气候背景下的厄尔尼诺过程对中国东部地区汛期降水的影响。分析发现：20世纪50年代以来共发生了14次厄尔尼诺事件；在70年代末、80年代初，赤道太平洋的海温有一个明显升高的趋势；不同气候背景下的厄尔尼诺过程中对中国东部汛期降水存在不同的影响，但是对长江中下游及江淮地区降水的影响是一致的，一般偏少。     

厄尔尼诺事件的随机特征

厄尔尼诺事件与强潮汐、日食、月食、火山、地震以及洋流冷暖循环相关．统计资料表明，厄尔尼诺事件的发生具有明显的随机特征，当各因素的最大值相互叠加时，就会发生强厄尔尼诺事件．厄尔尼诺与火山地震活动密切相关，具有区域性强，能量变化大，活动频繁，有规律但无严格周期等特点．厄尔尼诺事件是多种因素形成的。因而更具有随机特征．
