RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE MONSOON RAINFALL OVER CHINA AND THE SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN THE EQUATORIAL EASTERN PACIFIC
中国季风降水与赤道东太平洋海温的关系

The ralationships between the monsoon rainfall and the sea-surface temperature (SST) in the Equatorial Eastern Pacific are examined based on the thirty-eight-year (1951-1988) data set of sea level pressure maps in the Northern Hemisphere and the rainfall of 160 stations over China in summer (June-August) and winter (Dec.-Feb.).The study shows predominance of the years, in which the monsoon rainfall does not in accordance with the SST year to year. However, the SST anomaly takes a role which can not be ignored in examining the interannual variability of monsoon pressure field over East Asia and the monsoon rainfall in China.
