Abstract
AbstractApplying the shallow water equations with air‐sea interaction in low latitudes, the influences of the earth's variable rotation on air‐sea coupled system are discussed in this paper by means of normal mode and special functions. It is shown that the variation of the earth's rotation rate on the one hand affects the propagation and stability of Kelvin and Rossby waves and on the other hand can cause the changes of zonal wind, current and sea surface temperature. Particularly, when the earth's rotation rate is decelerated, the anomaly of zonal wind and current is caused and SST in the east part of low‐latitude oceans is increased through the air‐sea interaction, and thus the El Niño events is created which bring about the global climate changes.
