For this sentence "The changes in interior ocean temperature that these waves(Rossby waves) carry with it "cancel out " the original temperature changes that made the El Nino in the first place."
who could tell me why there is a pronoun 'it' in the sentence?How to analyze this sentence?
Thanks very much!

If you delete the 'it' than the 'with' does not make sense; and so you are still talking about the Rossby Waves when you are actually talking about The Changes In Interior Ocean Temps.
Do I make sense?

there is nothing wrong with the sentence ... but you could also do without the "with it" part....it basically means that the changes in interior ocean temperature that the waves harbor (carry or bring along) cancels out the original temperature changes

If you paraphrase this sentence like this: '...carry with the interior ocean temperature...', the meaning is the same.

The "it" has to be there to make the "with" correctly used in the sentence.

Maybe it was a misprint?
