Abstract
By using a two-level quasi-geostrophic truncated spectral model taking account of the nonlinear interaction between different wave components (i. e. basic current, ultra-long waves and long waves), the index cycle of general circulation is investigated. The calculated results show that the circulation index has a, quasi-periodic vacillation with a period of 8 to 16 days, which can be created by the nonlinear interaction and that the nonlinear interaction between different wave components may cause the tilted-trough vacillation, amplitude vacillation of wave pattern and quasi-periodic change of wave number of flow pattern.
