Аннотация:Vertical velocities in the troposphere over the tropical Pacific Ocean were calculated from the ECMWF objective analysis of wind fields. The maps of vertical velocity distribution and the sections of the tropical atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean were constructed. The large-scale anomalies of the fields of vertical motions observed during the maximum development of the 1982-1983 ENSO are analyzed. The relationship is demonstrated between the anomaly field of vertical motions and the large-scale reconstruction of the main components of atmospheric circulation in the tropics: the intertropical convergence zone, tropical monsoons, and trade circulation. -Journal summary
