Abstract

The annual cycles of sea level and surface pressures and the atmospheric pressure owing to water vapor have been analyzed in detail. Global sea level pressures undergo an annual cycle of 0.5 mbar range with a maximum in the northern winter. Global surface pressures, which represent the total mass of the atmosphere, also undergo an annual cycle of 0.5 mbar range but with the maximum in the southern winter. -from Author
