Pressure triangles in the NE Atlantic-European region (similar to Alexandersson et al. 2000)
Area averages - 10 triangles in the region (similar to Alexandersson et al. 2000) Annual percentiles 11-point Gaussian low-pass filtered curves However, there are significant seasonality and regional differences
