THE THERMAL EFFECT OF MERIDIONAL SEA-LAND DISTRIBUTION ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION IN EURASIA AND ITS CONTIGUOUS AREAS

In the article a simplified scheme about the thermal effect of meridional sealand distribution to the atmospheric circulation is proposed. Considering the geographical peculiarities of Eurasia and its contiguous areas, this scheme may be used for explaining the formation of South Asian jet stream in winter, South Asian Anticyclone on 100 mb surface in summer, and also the seasonal variation of general atmospheric circulation in above mentioned area.
