Abstract:Based on the monthly air temperature, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, and circulation indices of spring in Xinjiang from 1961 to 2023, we studied the dominant modes of seasonal temperature change in Xinjiang and their corresponding circulation anomalies. The results show that: Over the past 60 years, the spring temperature in Xinjiang has increased significantly, with two main modes of variation: uniform change and inverse phase. When the temperature in spring is uniformly warm (cold), the zonal winds in the upper troposphere are negative north to south (positive north to negative south), the middle layer is positive (negative) like the East Atlantic-West Russia Pattern (EA/WR), the lower Ural Mountains are abnormal cyclones (anticyclones), and the surface Eurasian cold high is weak (strong). When the temperature changes during the season, the key circulation systems, such as the subtropical westerly jet, the longitude of the middle and high latitude circulation, the geopotential height of the Ural Mountains and Western Siberia, the abnormal cyclon-anticyclone dipole distribution in the lower level, and the maintenance and change of the Eurasian cold high, which affect the temperature fluctuation, are the important reasons for the evolution of the temperature in phase and phase. The analysis shows that the Scandinavia Pattern (SCA), Asian Zonal Circulation Index (AZC), Atlantic-European Polar Vortex Intensity Index (AEPVI), East Atlantic-West Russia Pattern (EA/WR), Asia Polar Vortex Area Index (APVA), and East Atlantic Pattern (EA) have important effects on the intra-seasonal change of air temperatures. They can be used as important indicators for predicting the intra-seasonal variation of spring temperatures.
