The variation of the world climatic classification during the El Nino and La Nina events

The El Nino event causes the changes of the ocean and atmosphere system that induces the rainfall unusual increasing or reduction in some areas and then cause local lives and economical losses. Previous studies have found that the El Nino actually applies impact on the rainfall, however most of the studies focus on the impact of separated stations but little on regional variation. The study on the other hand focus on the variation of the rainfall based on the climatic classification primarily and the physiographic region position auxiliary during the El Nino event and La Nina events.
The main method of this research is the correlation analysis, when the correlation coefficient draws close to +1, it mean that the rainfall is positive relative with the parameter of the El Nino, and when the correlation coefficient draws close to -1, it mean that the rainfall is negativity relative with the parameter of the El Nino event.
The analysis parameters of the El Nino event index include the sea water temperature and anomaly of every area in Pacific Ocean, sea water surface temperature difference of two areas opposite, Southern Oscillation index and Multivariate ENSO Index. It is found in the study that the best parameter of the El Nino event is the sea water temperature difference of (Nino1¡Ï2- Nino34).
The result showed the most climatic classifications have good relation with the parameter of the El Nino, especially winter-dry climatic classifications is the best. Because the result of the research influence on the season variation, it is not to conclude the relation with the El Nino event. It is need to study deeply for calculating the rainfall of the areas where influenced by the El Nino event.
