Twentieth Century Winter Changes in Southern Hemisphere Synoptic Weather Modes
Table 1
Periods and growth rates of selected modes for the 1949–68 NCEP/NCAR basic state with standard parameterizations ( m4 s−1, K, K m−1), their mode number, and class of mode. Also shown are the largest pattern correlations between a given mode and the modes for the 1975–94 NCEP/NCAR basic state with standard parameterizations and the 1975–94 mode for which the pattern correlation is largest as well as the change in the growth rate .
