Hi,

I'm Atiqah student from the University of Malaya and has been working on the teleconnection between the Antarctic and Indian Monsoon.  As referring to some articles ( Prabhu et al, 2016 & Sun J et al, 2009) states that the connection between the polar and tropic is through the meridional wave train. So my question is could zonal wind pattern anomalies (Figure attached below) represent the wave activity that connecting polar and tropic? The figures show the reverse variation of zonal wind anomalous from the Antarctic until the India continent where its produce positive and negative anomalies from the polar to the tropic. Thus, due to the positive and negative anomaly I assume that as a wave train.

Really appreciate any suggestion and comment.

Note: The figure is a composite wind anomaly difference between HIP and LIP  at 700 hPa and 200 hPa.
