Global analysis of January and July sea level pressure
A global analysis of monthly mean sea level pressure for January and July over a 16 year period (1961 through 1976) is presented. For both hemispheres, the summer circulation is characterized by continental lows and oceanic highs. The prominent features of the Northern Hemispheric winter circulation...

For both hemispheres, the summer circulation is characterized by continental lows and oceanic highs. The prominent features of the Northern Hemispheric winter circulation, forced by diabatic heat sources and orography, are Aleutian low, Icelandic low and Siberian high. The interannual variability is small over the tropics and large over the extratropics. Maximum variability occurs over the locations of Icelandic and Aleutian lows in the Northern Hemispheric winter. The locations and intensities of the Southern Hemispheric subtropical highs, which occur over the oceans, are remarkably similar in January and July and show small interannual variability.
