Data explain

1.  The index of area、strength、ridge line and northern extend of Indian subtropical high, namely the 4th ,15th ,26th and 37th term, they are replayed by 999 during June to September.

2.  The index of the station and strong of Eastern Asian trough and cold air, namely the 65th, 66th and 70th term, they are replayed by 999 during June to August.

3.  23—44th term (namely the ridge line and north extend of the subtropical high ),they are replayed by the minimum when there is no subtropical high, 45th term (namely: the west ridge point) is replayed by the maximum.
