The works mentioned are qualitative <strong>and</strong> only thermodynamic processes<br />

are taken account. Recently, Huang <strong>and</strong> Chou (unpublished) studied the<br />

mechanism of analogous rhythm on monthly averaged circulation anomalies<br />

over the Northern Hemisphere dynamically <strong>and</strong> numerically. In their<br />

work, the evolution of monthly averaged circulation is taken to be a disturbance<br />

supperimposed on the historical analog. The state of air <strong>and</strong> sea<br />

can be devided into the basic <strong>and</strong> disturbed state, such as the monthly averaged<br />

value in a historically analogous years for the latter, which may be called<br />

analogous deviation disturbance (hereafter refer to as ADD). Thus the<br />

study of establishment <strong>and</strong> variation of the rhythm can be transformed to<br />

that of the evolution <strong>and</strong> stability problem of the ADD. With the<br />

3—dimensional structure character of general circulation anomalies (i. e. the<br />

baratropic property, stationary wave <strong>and</strong> space teleconnection property of<br />

monthly averaged circulation anomalies), the model can be greatly simplified<br />

<strong>and</strong> the amplitude equations of ADD for the air-sea coupled system<br />

can be deduced. Using these equations, in an uncoupled or coupled system,<br />

the time evolution charateristics of the ADD amplitude are studied. The results<br />

show that in a uncoupled system with a constant SST, ADD may increase<br />

rapidly due to linear instability. This is consistent with the analogous<br />

evolution of circulation anomalies at initial time in the real atmosphere.<br />

However, because of the nonlinear interaction in the atmosphere, the deviation<br />

disturbance does not increase infinitely but tends to a steady state. This<br />

will not bring out an analogous phenomenon. But in a coupled system,<br />

things are different. The SST ADD can not only force the atmosphere but<br />

be influenced by it as well <strong>and</strong> nonlinear feedback processes in an air—sea<br />

system may produce a nonuniform fluctuation of ADD. Being forced<br />

seasonally by the monthly averaged circulation, the coupled fluctuation of<br />

ADD in the air-sea system is intensified <strong>and</strong> a large amplitude appears.<br />

The result shows that the analogous rhythm phenomenon is an uneven vacillation<br />

of ADD which is caused by nonlinear coupled interaction of air-sea<br />

system forced by seasonal changes of the monthly mean circulation.<br />

Considering the simplicity of the model, more sophisticated numerical<br />

models are needed to compare the actual data with theoretical results. We<br />

design another global air-sea coupled model wi£h a predictor of. ADD<br />

which describes the similarity of monthly averaged circulation anomalies. It<br />

is to input the three—dimensional structure characteristics of anomalies of<br />

the monthly mean circulation as facts into the model, <strong>and</strong> filter the so-called<br />
