MARCH 1957 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW 89 THE WEATHER AND CIRCULATION OF MARCH 1957' A Month With An Extensive Polar Block and Expanded Circumpolar Vortex
In the previous article of this series, Woffinden [13] described the inception of a pronounced index cycle. Its initiation was associated with blocking which shifted from the Gulf of Alaska early in February to the areas of Baffin Bay and Novaya Zemlya by the latter half of the month. During March 1...
