| Summary: | a deep vortex centered over the North Pole where heights averaged 130 m below normal (figs. 1 and 2). Other Lows were located near the eastern shore of Baffin Island and just north of the central Aleutians. The Bafh Low moved little from the previous month's position, but the Aleutian Low represented a northwestward displacement of the 700-mb system found in the Gulf of Alaska during May (Posey 1970). Nevertheless, the Aleutian Low was still south of the normal position in June, as implied by the height anomaly field (fig. 2). Relative to normal, the largest height anomaly changes from May to June were falls of 150 m near the Pole and 100 m over the western Pacific (fig. 3). Heights also fell by as much as 50 m over the northeastern portion of the United States as the ridge that had extended from the |
