ANALYSES OF MONSOON INTENSITY AND SEA LEVEL ANOMALIES FOR THE MOUTH OF THE PEARL RIVER AROUND THE OCCURRENCE OF EL NINO IN THE PAST 45 YEARS
Abstract：Using data of wind speed from weather stations and tidal levelsfrom tidal stations near the Pearl River mouth, composite study is carried out of monsoon intensity and sea level variation during 12 El Nino processes in 1955 ～ 1988. The result shows that the winter-mean wind speed is larger than normal by 0.4 m/s in the preceding winter and monthly mean speed is generally higher than normal in the current year of El Nino events, while the monthly mean sea level is lower than normal with negative anomalies of about 6 cm for October and November. Monsoon anomalies in East Asia poses significant influence on sea level anomalies at the mouth.
