Figure 3 Composites of a, b stationary, c, d northeastward-migrating, e, f eastward-migrating, and g, h southeastward-migrating SWVs in the warm season at 700 hPa left column and 500 hPa right column. Solid lines represent the geopotential height units: gpm, and the vectors the wind velocity units: m s -1 . Shaded areas represent the negative departures of calculated by removing the spatial and normalized means. The asterisks show the mean locations of each type of SWV.
