"N" on Constant Pressure Charts

[Jim[_33_]]

I have spent a few days on Google looking for a description of what "N" means on Constant Pressure Charts.

The best I have found is that "N" identifies an area of little or no vorticity. Is this right?

I think X means an area of positive Vorticity advection and the letter N means negative Vorticity advection.
