Influence of ENSO Events on Weather and Climate of China

The review summarizes observational results as well as possible physical mechanisms of relationships between ENSO events and anomalous circulation in East Asia, drought/flood, anomalous typhoon activities and cool summer in China. Some problems associated to the studies on the ENSO influence are discussed as well. It is expected to present a basic appraisal of the ENSO influence and its significance for practical prediction of weather and climate anomalies in China.
