Based on ECMWF/WMO data.the November 1985～March 1986 atmospheric lowfrequeney kinetic energy and its flux divergencea are computed and their horizontal distributionfeatures of the winter averages doeumented in detail,togeth,with the horizontal propagation characteristics of the energy sources/sinks revealed.Results show that the maximum kinetic ener gy centers are related to the persistent anomaly cores of action.usually adjacent to the wavetracks of the teleconnections PNA and EU;the robust low frequency kinctic energy sourees(sinks)are located largely at the exit(entrance)of westerly jet:the sources/sinks move predominantly west-and nort h ward at extratropical latitudes in winter,
