        ABSTRACT

        This study has reviewed recent studies about impact of the Rossby wave propagation the weather of East Asia. Then, we have focused on the northward progression of the subtropical high affected by the propagations and their interaction. The following results are obtained: (1) The two kinds of meridional Rossby wave propagations often affect the East Asian weather in summer, which propagate in two conflicting directions (northwestsoutheastward and southwestnortheast ward). This is considered as the interaction of the largescale systems between high and low latitudes with wave propagation, especially to the circulation systems around East Asia. (2) The northward progression of the subtropical high is largely restrained, accompanied by the southward shift of the convective activity in middle latitudes, under the strong and persistent Rossby wave propagation from high to low latitudes. And the opposite role could be found in the Rossby wave propagation from low to high latitudes.

        Key words: Rossby wave, interaction, large scale system
