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