Time-latitude section at 30 mbar of
(a) the wave number 1 geopotential height wave amplitude m, and
(b) the ozone mixing ratio (in parts per million by volume (ppmv)).
The dashed arrows approximate the directions of the movement of (a) the wave-maximum amplitude position or (b) the maximum mixing ratio of ozone. Contour intervals for (a) are 200 m and for (b) are 0.4 ppmv. Ozone data are from the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Spectrometer (SBUV) satellite. Horizontal maps of ozone were made on various pressure levels using NOAA National Meteorological Center data. [Adopted from Wu et al., 1987]
