<正> The time series of the sea surface temperature(SST)anomaly,covering the eastern(western)equatorial Pacific,central Indian Ocean,Arabian Sea.Bay of Bengal and South ChinaSea(SCS),have been analyzed by using wavelet transform.Results show that there exists sameinterdeeadal variability of SST in the tropical Pacific and tropical Indian Ocean,and also show thatthe last decadal abrupt change occurred in the 1970s.On the interannual time scale,there is asimilar interannual variability among the equatorial central Indian Ocean and the adjacent three seabasins(Arabian Sea.Bay of Bengal and South China Sea).but the SST interannual changes of theIndian Ocean lagged 4—5 months behind that of the equatorial central-east Pacific.Meanwhile,the interannual variability and long-range change between SST anomaly and Indian summermonsoon rainfall in recent decades have been explained and analyzed.It indicates that there existeda wet(dry)period in India when the tropical SST was lower(higher)than normal,but there wasa lag of phase between them.
