Analysis of climatic anomalies in the southern hemisphere highlights the effects of ENSO on atmospheric circulation.
An analysis of the southern hemisphere circulation for the summer months of December 1986 to February 1987, inclusive, is undertaken. Emphasis is given to the Australian region; an area roughly bounded by Antarctica, the equator, the dateline and 90°E. Extratropical anomalies in the atmospheric circulation which developed following the establishment of the tropical El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) related anomalies are discussed, in particular, the ENSO-induced weakening of the mid-latitude westerlies in the Australian region.
