CLIMATIC ABRUPT CHANGE IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE FOR 1920s AND 1950s

摘要

In recent years,a large number of papers on the climatic sudden change have been presented.From the viewpoint ofclimatic sudden change,two methods of studying climatic sudden change are applied in this paper.The Northern Hemi-sphere land temperature(NHLT)during 1851—1984,China temperature(CT)during 1873—1990 and the NorthernHemisphere sea-level pressure(NHSLP)at each grid point during 1899—1987 are analyzed by the moving T-test.Theresults show that there exist two climatic sudden changes in the 1920s and the 1950s during the past 100 years,and thenfeatures of circulation for the two sudden changes are discussed by the NHSLP data.
