The 500 millibar height lines are shown in green (in decameters).  The deviation of these heights from the 30 year climatology is shown in the blue and red contours (given in decameters).  The blue contours highlight where the 500 mb heights are lower than climatology would suggest, and the red show where the heights are higher than climatology.
