Using NCEP/NCAR 40-year reanalysis, we analyzed the large scale patterns of correlation between the deviations of geopotential height field at 500hPa and the anomalous skin temperature in Eurasia domain during boreal winter.It is found that the geopotential height field correlates much more significantly with skin temperature field than with a field that was artificially built up in a random way.The 4 pairs of coupled spatial pattern obtained with SVD(Singular Value Decomposition) method explain 86% of the total squared covariance between the two variables.These patterns also account for 58% of the total variance of geopotential height field and 38% of the total variance of the temperature field respectively.Two pairs out of 4 show us two zonal circulation anomaly patterns characterized respectively by different latitudinal location of the main disturbances.The other 2 pairs show us two different meridional circulation patterns.The 2 variable fields of the 4 coupled modes seem to be consistent with each other considering the hydrostatic equation.Additionally,the anomalous skin temperature field in fall can be used,to some extent,to predict the sign of the deviation of geopotential height over middle and low latitudes in the coming winter.
