Cold surges of East Asia and the blockings over Eurasia were unusually active during winter 2004/05. The relationships between clod surges and boreal blockings were investigated by analyzing NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data in this study. Our study showed all the cold surges were identified during the persisting or decaying stage of boreal blocking, when the Siberian surface high and East Asia Jet were detected with enhancement amplitude. It was noted that the cold surges were preceded by upstream upper-level wave trains, which the coupled lower-level northerly over South China to help the quick southward penetration of cold air mass. The diagnosis of kinetic energy conversion of perturbation revealed that the upper wave trains drew energy from time mean flow at the entrance of East Asia Jet. The blockings have an effect to enhance the East Asia Jet and thus amplify the lower-level northerly over South China. In addition, the upper ridge accompanied with the blocking may strength the Siberian surface high, which is correlated with the cold surges.
