In the context of simple correlation and composite analysis,Study is performed of the correlation between Meiyu onset dates(MOD) and the atmospheric circulation in the previous winter. Result shows that the MOD is significantly related to the atmospheric features in the previous winter with strong North Atlantic oscillation(NAO) for early Meiyu onset and v.v.. Result also indicates that there exists pronounced correlation between the MOD and the SST over North Atlantic in the previous winter-to-spring with positive SST anomalies for early Meiyu onset and negative anomalies for late Meiyu onset,which has the implies important indication for Meiyu onset predication.
