The mean state of the troposphere on broad scales in space and time is described in this chapter. Emphasis is placed on the climate of the Southern Hemisphere (SH), although global maps will be presented and some relevant comparisons with the Northern Hemisphere (NH) will be made. General descriptions of the seasonal mean distributions of many atmospheric variables will be given, while the following chapters will present discussions on topics including the variability of the SH circulation and the dominant processes that maintain the general circulation.
