August storm track variability as indicated by 2- to 8-day band-passed (a) 500-hPa geopotential height vari-
ance, (b) 850-hPa v'T', (c) 200-hPa u'v', and (d) 500-hPa omega variance. The Cntle mean for each quantity is shown by
contours, and the Sum95e-Cntle anomalies are shown by shaded values. The units are m
