Spatial patterns of the atmospheric mean state in the two periods. Climatological mean 200–500 hPa winds (vector, m/s) and temperature (shading, (K) in (a) P1 and (b) P2). Climatological mean Q1 (shading, W/m2) and 500 hPa Omega (dotted lines denote negative values, 102 Pascal/s) in (c) P1 and (d) P2.
