Abstract: Summer high temperature events have been occurring with increasing frequency since 2000, which have disastrous consequence for society, economy and human production and life. During recent years, causes and effects of high temperature events in East Asia have been focused in many research efforts. However, relationships between high temperature events in East Asia summer and cold or warm anomalies in the Arctic during the same period, especially in the seasonal time scale, attract little attention.Based on reanalysis data of NCEP/NCAR, main characteristics of atmospheric circulation anomalies and its possible dynamics of Arctic cold anomalies during the summer of 2010, 2013 and 2016, are analyzed by using both composite analysis and correlation analysis. Results show that the frequency of high temperature events in East Asia is complex. High temperature events occurred in Jianghuai Region accompanied by 500 hPa positive geopotential height anomalies, warm anomalies in the middle and low tropospheric, weakened westerly winds throughout the troposphere and stratosphere over middle and low latitudes of East Asian. And meanwhile, over most of the Arctic, 500 hPa height negative anomalies are corresponded with 500-1000 hPa negative thickness anomalies, cold anomalies in the middle and low tropospheric and strengthened westerlies throughout the troposphere and stratosphere. Results show that the high temperature events in Jianghuai Region of 2010, 2013 and 2016 are closely related to the tropospheric zonal wind. It shows that high temperature events in Jianghuai Region is negatively correlated with the tropospheric zonal wind in middle and low latitudes of East Asia, while positively correlated with that over Arctic areas. It's also found that this correlation is not limited to 200 hPa, which occurs through the troposphere and stratosphere. Evidence suggests that during the high temperature events in Jianghuai Region of 2010, 2013 and 2016, weakened upper westerly winds over the middle and low latitudes of East Asian enhance barotropy and decrease baroclinity in this area, which suppress convection and have great contributions to the generation and maintenance of anticyclone. Thereby resulting in reduced cloud cover and enhancing the downwelling surface shortwave radiation, which contributes to increase heat waves. Possible causes of westerly winds anomalies over the Arctic and mid-and low-latitudes of East Asia during high temperature events in Jianghuai Region are also discussed through dynamic diagnosis.
