The relationship of autumn Kuroshio region SSTA with the East Asian winter monsoon and Chinese winter climate is analyzed.Results show that there is a closely relation between the autumn Kuroshio region SSTA and the East Asian winter monsoon index.In the higher(lower) Kuroshio SSTA years,the East Asian winter monsoon is stronger(weaker),the winter temperature increases(decreases) in north and northeast China,and decrease(increase) in the other places;the precipitation decreases (increases) in the Changjiang-Huaihe river valley and south China,especially in south China.The distribution of the 500hPa height fields corresponding to the Kuroshio region SSTA displays a PNA- and EAP-type atmospheric teleconnection,and therefore the Kuroshio region SSTA might influence the up- and down-stream atmosphere through the teleconnection.
