Figure 7 Schematic (after Carleton 1992) ummarising dominant features of the synoptic climatology of higher southern latitudes compiled from various sources. These are Streten 1980 (b), variability of the mean seasonal axis of the sub-Antarctic circumpolar trough for the years 1972–1977, mean location of the continental "high" (1972–1977), relative frequency by longitude of monthly mean low pressure centres in the sub-Antarctic trough (1972–77); Astapenko (1964), Taljaard (1972), Streten and Troup (1973), Carleton (1979), Mayes (1985 major: bold and secondary: thin tracks of mid latitude cyclones; Jacks (1983) maximum and minimum sea ice extents).
