Abstract
The tropical heating and transient activity features during the period of t he persistent anomaly of summertime circulation over the Ural Mountains are studied, and a possible mechanism responsible for formation and maintenanc e of persistent anomalies is proposed. The mechanism can be summarized as a kind of self-sustaining through a two-way interaction of stationary wave w ith transient eddies under the consistent forcing of abnormal heating in th e tropics.
