The term -∫dp/ρ over Asia is positive (cyclogenetic) in winter and negative (cyclolytic) in summer, and vice versa over Europe. Especially large values are found in the Asiatic winter. The area of positive baroclinic tendencies spreads to the west of the low pressure and the negative area to the west of the high pressure.
