A classification of airflow pattern types is formulated for the region on the basis of synoptic weather maps for November, 1956 to March, 1958. Regional indices of the zonal and meridional flow at mean sea level and the 500 mb level are examined in relation to the airflow types. The spatial and temporal variations of weather phenomena associated with the types are analyzed by quantitative weather parameters and the significance of the results is assessed with reference to local weather forecasting and palaeoclimatic reconstructions.
