Profiles of mean sea-level pressure along the 100th meridian east and 180th meridian: (in Croatian)
The presented profiles of the mean sea-level pressure in high latitudes (including the North and the South Pole) are based on the observed data. In this way in the cold part of the year on the northern hemisphere along the 180thmeridian it has been possible to note that the highest air pressure is n...

| Summary: | The presented profiles of the mean sea-level pressure in high latitudes (including the North and the South Pole) are based on the observed data. In this way in the cold part of the year on the northern hemisphere along the 180thmeridian it has been possible to note that the highest air pressure is notcentered at the North Pole but about 15° to the south. It is the effect of influence ofIslandicminimum, so that the air pressure in the Northern Pacific is still on the rise. In summer because of strong thermal influence ofAsia, it is demonstrated that the subtropical high-pressure belt over that part of the northern hemisphere does not exist at all. |
