(a), (b)The climatic characteristics of the local (60°E, 140°E) zonally averaged meridional circulation in winter (1979~2013); (d), (e) The climatic characteristics of the local (5°S, 5°N) meridionally averaged zonal circulation. The shading and vertical velocity in wind vectors of (a) and (d) are the vertical velocities of the local (60°E, 140°E) zonally averaged meridional circulation and local (5°S, 5°N) meridionally averaged zonal circulation. The shading and vertical velocity in wind vectors of (b) and (e) are the vertical velocities of reanalysis data. (c) is the vertical velocity of the local (60°E, 140°E) zonally averaged zonal circulation. (f) is the vertical velocity of the local (5°S, 5°N) meridionally averaged meridional circulation.
