The two
graphs below show the distributions of the 100 coldest 925-mb temperatures
instances for each South American location by month (two perspectives).
The following
two graphs show the distribution of stability (approximated by values of T(925
mb) − T(700 mb)) for the 100 coldest 925-mb temperatures instances for
each South American location.
