Abstract

Climatological fields of several meteorological variables associated with the Australian summer monsoon, as revealed by NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, are reviewed in the context of observed weather and climate over the continent and surrounding regions. Inter-hemispheric distributions of pressure, temperature and circulation features suggest a see-saw relationship of the Australian monsoon with the monsoons of Asia during both summer and winter. Computed values of cross-equatorial fluxes of air appear to lend credence to this hypothesis.
