Abstract: The relationship between the EU pattern in late autumn (November) and late winter (the following January and February) for 1979/1980-2013/2014 are discussed in this paper. It is shown that significant negative correlation exists between the late autumn and the late winter EU teleconnection indices. When we compare the circulation evolutionary features between out-of-phase and in-phase processes of EU pattern from the late autumn to the late winter, it is shown that the late autumn circulation anomalies in out-of-phase years have significant implications on the late winter, while the implications are weak in in-phase years. The circulation evolutionary features of in-phase and out-of-phase processes are both closely related to North Atlantic turbulent heat flux (NATU). The specific physical process is that the vertical movements and moisture content in low and middle levels of the troposphere over North Atlantic at about 50°N both increase (decrease) in NATU positive (negative) anomalies, which corresponds to negative (positive) anomalies of geopotential height over North Atlantic and even negative (positive) EU pattern.
