As shown in Figure 8(a), in the winter and spring of 2009-2010, compared with the average state of 1979-2012, an anomalous anticyclone is excited in the India-Burma trough region, and the trough is evidently weak, which is in accordance with the situation in IIBT series (Figure 3(a)).
The IPSL5 model, which represents the Benguela upwelling zone better than most, predicts a poleward shift of subtropical anticyclones as C[O.sub.2] rises.
However, the predictive connection between the increase of HCRF and the formation of an anticyclone as well as duration over the observation station is rather complicated, so the definition of this connection requires extensive statistical information on the experimental data.
