Abstract:Using the mean surface air temperature data during 1961-2006 of 375 stations in the east monsoon area in China and methods of EOF,SVD,correlation analysis, average value generating function method, the authors analyzed the relationship of temperature with height-field changes anomaly at 500 hPa and circulation feature in east China, and forecasted the change tendency of winter average air temperature in the future 20 a. The main results are as follows: there are two key areas which influence winter air temperature, both of the areas were remarkable positive correlation; the SVD analysis shows that the Ural ridge was weak, the east Asia trough was shallow, the zonal circulation was strong, the meridional circulation was weak, the area of polar vorticity was small, leading cold air was lack, winter temperature was high as well, namely the North Atlantic Ocean high pressure was exceptionally strong(weak) in last July, the temperature was high(low)in winter of the year, there were close relation to antecedent height-field and temperature in North Atlantic Ocean, it mainly influenced changing valley and middle-north monsoon area in north of it;it established the relationship between temperature and height departures in North Atlantic Ocean key area in the last July, and established function mode, which can be used to forecast the temperature change tendency in the future 20 a.
