The European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis data sets and the observed data for precipitations and temperatures in China are used to depict the relationships between the eastern China climate and the East Asian jet stream(EAJS).

The background large-scale circulation changes include the intensification of the western Pacific subtropical high(WPSH) and the southwest shift of the East Asian jet stream(EAJS).

Based on a new climate variability theory “Energy complement each other and balance between westerly jet in winter and subtropical high in summer ”presented by the author in this paper, the flood and drought prediction in China from 1997 to 2001 had been completed.

The significant impact of heating fields on the upper-tropospheric westerly jet has been revealed in much previous research,but little effort has been paid on differentiating the relative contribution of various heating fields over tropical and subtropical regions.

In this paper, westerly jet, storm track and baroclinic wave packets of upper troposphere in the Northern Hemisphere at summer of 1980?1998 are analyzed by using NCEP/NC.

In this study,the monthly wind and temperature fields from ECMWF(European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) reanalysis dataset ERA40 are used to investigate the characteristics and variabilities of the East Asian-western Pacific westerly jet stream(WJS) in winter seasons.
