An atlas of teleconnection patterns, based on monthly mean 500 mb geopotential height anomalies, is presented for the Southern Hemisphere. Height anomalies are computed with respect to the 1979-1988 base period monthly means for a 10 degree latitude by 10 degree longitude grid. These anomalies then serve as the basis for a point correlation analysis for the Southern Hemisphere winter (May-September) and summer (November-March) seasons.
