The Vertical Structure of Atmosphere and Its Teleconnection

The relationship between the vertical structure and the teleconnection patterns is studied by using the 500hPa height data ranging to the north 20°N and to the south of 20°S spherical regions. The results show that the atmospheric equivalent barotropic structure is in connection with the wavetrain-type teleconnection patterns, and the baroclinic structure is in relation to the zonal-type teleconnection patterns
