ABSTRACT
Processes of climate formation are complicated, diverse and almost always interdependent. These processes may be classified into two categories. The first determines the internal variability of the climatic system due to such processes as interactions between the atmosphere and the ocean, clouds and radiation, etc. The second involves external natural and anthropogenic effects, including numerous quasi-external forcings. In this connection, dynamic processes simulated by non-linear equations of dynamics and thermodynamics of the atmosphere are particularly important. The presence of the energy flux from the central equatorial Pacific Ocean to the north is an indicator of the participation of the tropics in the feedback mechanism which regulates the interaction of processes in the middle and tropical latitudes. The atmosphere-ocean interaction in the tropical belt most strongly affects the seasonal and annual variability, since in this case the characteristic time of the prevailing dynamic process in the ocean is comparatively short.
