description abstracthe correlation lengths of vorticity anomalies from temporal averages are examined in the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis dataset. It is shown that, in the annual mean, eddies in the Southern Hemisphere are significantly larger than those in the Northern Hemisphere. The eddy vorticity lengths exhibit a strong seasonal cycle, with the largest scales occurring in the winter season. The maximum zonal eddy lengths closely follow the contours of the strong upper-level winds, while the maximum meridional lengths are found in jet exit regions and in the stratosphere.
