Abstract: The relationship between the ENSO and abnormal variation of precipitation and temperature in the China is investigated based on the monthly data. Firstly,interannual variability of precipitation and temperature in different subareas has been discussed by use of REOF. Then,the variation of precipitation and temperature in the different phase of ENSO cycle is investigated by CSVD,respectively. Results show that,during the period of El Niñ o,precipitation in the eastern China,especially in the northeastern China and Yangtze River valley,is much more than normal and is apt to flood. Precipitation in northern China and Huanghe River valley,especially in the middle reach of Huanghe River,is less than normal and is apt to drought. Precipitation in Yangtze River valley is closely related to the SSTA in central and eastern tropical Pacific on the QFO scale,and the precipitation variation lag behind SSTA about 3 months. For the variation of surface temperature,during the period of El Niñ o,northeastern China usually colder than normal,and in other regions,especially in the Hetao region and southwestern China,are warmer than normal. The temperature in northeast China is closely associated with SSTA in eastern Pacific on the QFO scale and the surface temperature variation in the northeast China lags behind that of SSTA about 2 months.
