FIGURE E13.  Northern Hemisphere: 700-hPa heights overlaid with standard deviation of high-pass filtered height (top) and normalized anomalous variance of high-pass filtered height (bottom). Heights are indicated by thick solid contours in both panels (interval is 60 m). High-pass filtered fields reflect fluctuations having periods less than 10 days, and are indicated by thin contours and shading.
