FIG. 31. August–September mean 200–850-hPa vertical wind shear (shaded, m s-1), overlaid with (a, c) 600-hPa zonal wind (contours, interval is 2 m s-1) and (b, d) 600-hPa cyclonic relative vorticity (contours, interval is 2x10-6 s-1). Panels (a, b) show 1979–95 climatological mean conditions and panels (c, d) show 1999 mean conditions.
