Abstract
The variation of warm pool ocean temperature in the equatorial western Pacific and its im-pacts on climatic change are studied in the present paper. The SSTs in the warm pool region not only have seasonal variation but also have interannual variation more clearly; The influence of anomalies of SST in the warm pool region on the East Asian monsoon is studied with data analysis; And the impact of SSTA in the warm pool region on the teleconnection (wave-train) in the atmospheric circulation is still investigated. The influence of ocean temperature anomalies in the warm pool subsurface on the occurrence of ENSO is also discussed by using data analysis and modelling with CGCM. All above-mentioned studies show that the situation of ocean temperature in the warm pool region in the equatorial western Pacific plays an important role in the global cli?matic variation.
