Because of a production error, the figures published in Cohen and Jones (2011) were of inferior quality. To correct this, the following pages contain the full article as it should have appeared, with the figures processed properly.

The staff of the Journal of Climate regrets any inconvenience this error may have caused.

Sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies (hPa) (a) averaged −45 to 0 days prior to vortex displacements, (b) averaged 0 to +45 days after vortex displacements, (c) averaged −45 to 0 days prior to vortex splits, and (d) averaged 0 to +45 days after vortex splits. Colored shading represents anomalies, solid contours show the full values of the SLP field, and dashed contours represent 90% and 95% confidence levels. Mean values are computed daily over the reanalysis period 1948–2010.

Polar cap geopotential height anomalies (shading) and WAF anomalies bounded by 40°–80°N, 30°E–180° (contouring) from 45 days prior until 45 days after (a) vortex displacements and (b) vortex splits. Values shaded and contoured every 0.2 standardized anomalies. Also shown are only those values for geopotential height anomalies (shown in solid contours) found to be statistically significant at the 95% confidence level or higher (blue shading) and those WAF values (shown in dashed contouring) found to be statistically significant at the 95% confidence level or higher (red shading) for (b) vortex displacements and (d) vortex splits.

Area-averaged daily SLP anomalies in the area bounded by 60°–75°N, 30–90°E (black line) and WAF anomalies over the Eurasian sector (blue line) for (a) vortex displacements and (b) vortex splits. (c) The sum of the area-averaged difference in SLP for the boxes bounded by 55°–70°N, 30°–90°E; 55°–70°N, 120°W–180°; and 40°–50°N, 30°–60°W for vortex displacements and splits. Red and green symbols represent 95% significance for SLP and WAF anomalies, respectively. SLP anomalies given in hPa, and WAF anomalies given in m2 s−2 multiplied by 25.
