Velocity vectors and absolute vorticity at 700 mb

Contour levels for ζa = ζ + f are: thin contours 2 × 10-5 s-1 and 1 × 10-4 s-1; thick contours 2.5 × 10-4 s-1 and 1 × 10-3 s-1. Cyclonic vorticity exceeding 2 × 10-5 s-1 in magnitude is shaded pink, anticyclonic values exceeding this value are shaded light blue.
