             abstract = "In a recent study Renwick and Revell (1999, hereafter RR99) 
                         investigated the atmospheric blocking over the South Pacific. They 
                         found that the blocking events occur more frequently over the 
                         southeast Pacific during El Nino events in austral spring. Their 
                         analysis showed that blocking events are associated with 
                         large-scale wave trains lying across the South Pacific from 
                         Australia to southern South America. RR99 performed numerical 
                         experiments with a linearized barotropic model and showed that the 
                         tropical convective heating associated with OLR anomalies, 
                         presumably generated during El Nino events, can generate similar 
                         wave trains. The purposeof the present comment is to provide 
                         observational evidence to show that the Rossby wave propagation 
                         similar to the one noted by RR99 is in fact stronger and better 
                         organized in austral spring than in other seasons.",
