N2 - The interannual variations in tropical cyclone activity in the northwest Pacific (NWPAC) and their relationships with the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon were studied using the method of spectral analyses. It appears that fluctuations of cyclone activity at the dominant Southern Oscillation frequency may be explained in terms of the change in the horizontal and vertical circulations in the atmosphere during periods of low SOI. The establishment of an anomalous Walker Circulation shifts areas of enhanced or suppressed convection, leading to the observed variations in cyclone activity. -from Author
