Northern hemisphere Winter circulation

Northern hemisphere Winter circulation

Northern hemisphere Winter circulation

Northern hemisphere - temperature difference from zonal average in lower troposphere. (0 to 5 km)

Heat flux from surface to atmosphere (Winter) Wm-2

Northern hemisphere precipitation (m/yr)

Variability in pressure at ~ 8km (i.e., weather!) This is actually the difference between the daily averaged height of the 200mb pressure level and its 5-day running average

Southern hemisphere winter circulation

Southern hemisphere - temperature difference from zonal average in lower troposphere (0 to 5 km).

Southern hemisphere: heat flux from surface to atmosphere (Winter) Wm-2

Southern hemisphere winter precipitation (ish!) (myr-1)

Southern hemisphere winter Variability in pressure at ~ 8km (i.e., weather!) This is actually the difference between the daily averaged height of the 200mb pressure level and its 5-day running average
