Abstract
An integrated description of the planetary-scale structures that emerge as organized entities on intraseasonal temporal scales in the middle latitudes is developed. Spatial scales of atmospheric motions involved in the generation of variability in the LF range are specified. An overview of the 3D structure of the seasonally averaged eddies in which the intraseasonal fluctuations are superposed is presented. The generation and maintenance mechanisms possibly responsible for the existence of the seasonal, quasi-stationary disturbances are discussed. It is shown that in the LF, low-zonal wavenumber part of the spectrum, the power displayed by standing variance exceeds that of propagating variance and vice versa for HFs and wavenumbers.
