An investigation is conducted of the summer (June-August)global mean divergent circulation in the tropics during the 1982-1983 ENSO episode. Three divergent and three convergent centers are ob-served at the 200 hPa level, which are closely rolated to the distributionof large-scale zonal circulation in the tropics. It is found that the summer divergent circulation in 1982 is significantly weaker than theone in 1983. This difference may have something to do with the summersea temperature anomaly in the tropics during the strong ENSO episode.
