Short summary
The longitudinal structure in geopotential heights and meridional wind is analysed for 1979–2013 in order to find its persistence and altitudinal dependence with focus on anomalous years. Substantial deviations from the average pattern are studied for Januaries – typically the second (Euro-Atlantic) peak extends to much higher altitudes than usual. The decisive role in the existence of anomalous years appears to be played by the stationary planetary wave filtering by the zonal wind pattern.
