THE WEATHER AND CIRCULATION OF OCTOBER 1970 Marked Persistence From September
Generally lorn heights at high latitudes with monthly mean 700-mb Low centers over northeast Siberia and slightly to the North American side of the Pole combined with a northward-displaced Pacific subtropical High to produce flat, faster than normal westerly flow over the North Pacific (figs. 1 and...

| Summary: | Generally lorn heights at high latitudes with monthly mean 700-mb Low centers over northeast Siberia and slightly to the North American side of the Pole combined with a northward-displaced Pacific subtropical High to produce flat, faster than normal westerly flow over the North Pacific (figs. 1 and 2). Monthly mean mind speeds were greater than 15 m sP1 and as much as 7 m s- ' above normal near Kamchatka (fig. 3). In contrast to the previous month (Taubensee 1970), the westerlies over the central Atlantic decreased as 700mb heights increased to more than lO0m above normalover northeast Canada (fig. 2). This represented a height anomaly change of as much as 140 m from September to October (fig. 4). A branch of the westerlies penetrated to low latitudes in the central Atlantic (fig. 1) where several |
