Mean Monthly 300 and 200-Mb Contours and 500, 300, and 200-Mb Temperatures for the Northern Hemisphere

摘要

Mean monthly contour and temperature charts have been prepared from data compiled in the monthly publication 'Climatic Data of the World.' These charts are based upon a 6-year period (1950 thru 1955) and they represent features of the temperature at 500, 300, and 200 mb and pressure height distributions at 300 and 200 millibars. The construction of these charts is discussed briefly and some general remarks are made on the large-scale behavior of these data. (Author)
