Surface meteorological and satellite observations during the winter MONEX observational period over the Indonesian Maritime Continent have been analyzed. The results of the analysis show the existence of large scale disturbances in the pressure field. These disturbances, which affect the entire region, have periods of approximately 20 days and amplitudes of about 1 to 2 millibars. They appear to have no appreciable movement. There is no significant correlation between the pressure disturbances and the cloudiness distribution.
