Figure 8.

Interdecadal variability of SST, UT zonal wind, PV intrusion and Ozone transport. (a) and (b) represent NDJFM mean difference between 1999–2012 and 1985–1998 for SST (K) and U (m s−1, 200 hPa), respectively. (c) Displays PV intrusion frequencies during 1985–1998 (blue) and 1999–2012 (red), as a function of longitude and sum over NDJFM. The maps in the figure are generated using the MATLAB software (Version: R2012b (8.0.0.783) & URL: http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/?s_tid=srchtitle).
