| Summary: | appreciably from the circulation in February 1966 [l]. Blocking remained active but its intensity and location were quite dissimilar this month. Changes in anomalous heights from February to March are shown in figure 3. In the Atlantic, where a record negative height anomaly was observed at 50 ' N. in February, there was a maximum change of 1,000 ft. The large height increases over the Atlantic and substantial decreases over Greenland produced a strengthened westerly flow between 50 ' and 70 ' N. At the same time zonal flow decreased in the subtropical belt (20'-35 ' N.) in the Atlantic. This decrease was also generally true for the overall subtropical belt in the western portion of the Northern Hemisphere where the average westerly flow decreased to about normal in March after being about 2 |
