Some general characteristics of synoptic developments in the 500 mb vorticity field are discussed with particular attention devoted to sudden injections of vorticity and to changes in circulation patterns downwind therefrom. Attention is then focused on vorticity injections generated at low latitudes, but not too low to interact in an important way with the middle latitude circulation. Composite maps based upon numerous cases are shown which reveal the development of large scale anomalous patterns in the westerlies during the 3 days subsequent to low latitude vorticity injection. The forecasting implications are discussed.
