Figure 4.
PV intrusion frequency and Ozone transport during EN and LN. (a) Latitude-longitude section of NDJFM mean (ERA40, ERA interim, NCEP, JRA55 & JRA25) correlation coefficient between PV (200 hpa) and TOMS total columnar ozone density 1983–2012. (b) Represents the longitude-height (10–25°N) section of mean (ERA40, ERA interim, NCEP, JRA55 & JRA25) correlation coefficient between intrusion frequency and AIRS ozone density. (c) Represents the difference in ERA interim PV (PVU, 200 hpa) between El-Nino and La-Nina years and (d) represents the same but for AIRS ozone density (ppbv). The maps in the figure are generated using the MATLAB software (Version: R2012b (8.0.0.783) & http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/?s_tid=srchtitle).
