Figure 5. Vertical cross-sections of (a) relative vorticity, (b) vertical pressure velocity, (c)<br />

temperature, <strong>and</strong> (d) specific humidity, as constructed using a composite technique which is based on the<br />

temporal coefficients of the leading pair of extended empirical orthogonal functions for 850 mb £, The<br />

abscissa corresponds to a straight line segment extending northwestward from 2.5°N 142.5°E (extreme<br />

right of each panel) to 27.5°N 110.0°E (extreme left). Contour intervals for panels (a), (b), (c), <strong>and</strong> (d)<br />

are 3x10-6 s-l, 1x10-2 N m~2 s-1, 1x10-1 °C, <strong>and</strong> 2x10-4 respectively. Stippling indicates negative<br />

values.
