INTERACTION BETWEEN ATMOSPHERE AND OCEAN AND TELECONNECTION IN THE ATLANTIC DURING THE COLD SEASON

In this paper,the WA teleconnection pattern of SST in the Atlantic during the cold season is confirmed.The results show the WA pattern of atmosphere is linked to the SST pattern and relative higher frequencies account for most of the WA signal.The linked pair of atmosphere and ocean patterns might be mutually supportive and exhibit "quasi-annual cycle".The possible explanation for the polarity reversal of WA pattern is also discussed.
