Northern Hemisphere December-March near-surface temperature and pressure anomalies during 1977-94 relative to those during 1946-76 are considered. To a first approximation these anomalies can be decomposed into two components. The first one reaches its maximum during 1977-88. The main features of the anomalies of 1977-88 can be obtained as the atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) response to sea surface temperature anomalies observed during that period. The second component reaches its maximum in 1989-94. The main features of anomalies of 1989-94 relative to 1977-88 can be obtained as the AGCM response to lower-stratosphere ozone depletion observed in 1989-94.
