Northern Hemisphere mean and anomalous 500-hPa geopotential height.

The winter of 2009-2010: Could it have been colder? Jason Samenow 2010

The ensuing warming raises the height of atmospheric pressure surfaces (known to meteorologists as "geopotential heights") over the North Pole.

Arctic sea ice loss linked to severe U.S. winters Andrew Freedman 2010

Models suggest that loss of sea ice in fall favors higher geopotential heights over the Arctic.

Arctic sea ice loss linked to severe U.S. winters Andrew Freedman 2010

It's unusually strong, and has boosted pressures, often referred to by meteorologists as "geopotential heights", in parts of the Arctic to record levels.

Reanalyses include both observed (assimilated) variables (e.g., temperature, geopotential height) and derived fields (e.g., precipitation, cloudiness).

Arctic climate variability in the twentieth century 2009

The Arctic Ocean models represent a wide spectrum of numerical approaches, employing either finite-difference (in most cases) or finite-element approximations, and three types of vertical coordinates: z (constant geopotential surfaces), sigma (bathymetry-following), and isopycnal (constant potential density referenced to a given pressure).
