Abstract
Abstract A pre‐existing anticyclonic anomaly over Scandinavia/western Russia played a crucial role in the persistent low temperature event over southern China in January 2008. This anticyclonic anomaly extended eastward along the arctic coast of the Eurasian continent, and then induced the persistent low temperature over southern China. Considering that anticyclonic anomalies over Scandinavia/western Russia rarely extended eastward to central Siberia, the simultaneous presence of this feature along with the vigorous Rossby wave propagation along the African‐Asian jet stream is found to be a fundamental factor in the occurrence of the persistent event.
