A PRELIMINARY RESEARCH ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRECIPITATION IN SPRING IN XINJIANG AND SSTA IN NORTHERN ATLANTIC

The lag and contemporary correlation coefficients are calculated between precipitation in spring in the northern Xinjiang, the southern Xinjiang and the Tianshan Mountain area and SSTA in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. It is found that the relationship between precipitation anomaly in spring in Xingjiang and SSTA in the preceding July in Northern Atlantic Ocean is the best, generally. The SVD method is used to identify corresponding distribution patterns between precipitation fields and SSTA fields, which are verified by real data, finally.
