Variations in the association between mid-tropospheric flow and surface temperatures across the United States

Description :
Variations in the association between mid-tropospheric flow and mid-latitude surface temperatures are examined by correlating multiple indices of a surrogate measure of mean monthly 500-mb flow with mean monthly surface temperatures across the conterminous United States from 1951-80. There are major changes in the key areas of flow from one season to the next. Temperatures in the northwest and southeast appear to be most strongly associated with flow conditions.
