Abstract

An evaluation is made of the synoptic features and characteristic pressure patterns of the Southern Hemisphere as they relate to the seasonal circulations. Examples of both strong and weak polar outbreaks are presented, and their effect on the zonal circulation is discussed. The implication of the strong zonal circulation and its short-term as well as seasonal variations are examined.
