Atmospheric circulation variability during ENSO The zonal wind anomaly is usually adopted as the indicator for the atmospheric circulation variation during ENSO. However, the more elegant general pictures are still desired. Walker circulation is closely associated ENSO, which is basically thermally driven. It corresponds the divergent circulation ponent. Meanwhile, the rotational ponent represents the atmospheric dynamic response. Thus it is valuable to depose the atmospheric motion into these two parts, evaluated by the stream function and velocity potential respectively. From the correlation map (), it can be seen that the atmosphere shows baroclinic response to the oceanic forcing. The Walker circulation is reversed in the sense of anomaly field. The lower level atmosphere is characterized by a cyclonic circulation pair, while the upper atmosphere by an anticyclonic circulation pair. During ENSO cycle, the divergent and rotational ponents vary in a rather consistent way, which can be verified from . The correlation between the two index exceeds .

The atmosphereocean feedback during ENSO cycle ENSO is regarded as an atmosphereocean interaction process, which develops through the positive airsea feedback and decays through the negative feedback. The positive process is well understood. However, the negative feedback needs further investigation. The divergent atmospheric ponent, or the reversed Walker circulation, keeps the positive feedback with the ocean during the whole lifetime of El Ni241。o (fiures not shown). The case of the rotational atmospheric ponent is somewhat different (). Before the peak time of El Ni241。o, there is positive atmosphereocean feedback, which strengthens the development of El Ni241。o. However, this positive process stops from the peak time of El Ni241。o and converts to the negative feedback. This transition is realized through the eastward displacement of the cyclonic circulation pair over the centraltoeastern Pacific and the new emergence of the anticyclonic circulation pair over the western Pacific. Now the cyclonic circulation pair shoals the eastern Pacific thermocline and the anticyclonic circulation pair deepens the western Pacific thermocline. These two negative feedback processes greatly weakens the reversed Walker circulation and finally leads to the phase tran
