A spherical harmonic specification of the global 500 mb surface.

During the month the zonal harmonics are well behaved and the increasing variance in the symmetric component (0, 2) reflects the seasonal strengthening of the westerlies in the northern hemisphere. In the wave regime the eccentric components with m = 1 appear to be global entities but the continuity is less obvious as one goes to higher orders. The wave subset with m = 4 exhibits an oscillation in parity such as one would expect from independent systems in the two hemispheres moving with different angular velocities. [...]
