Mean Polar Vortices
The monthly mean circulation at 700 mb. for May 1960 (fig. 1) was characterized by strong blocking over much of the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. In terms of 700-mb. height anomaly, the principal centers of blocking were located over eastern Canada (+320 ft.) and northern Siberia (+37...
