| For each spiral the average
value in a 100 m
altitude layer was calculated. Spirals were grouped by location and month. In this grouping the median, mean, minimum, maximum, 25th quartile, 75th quartile, and standard deviation were calculated for each altitude level. |

Explanation |
|---|---|
| Median |
Meadian value for all spirals in the given
altitude range |
| Mean |
Mean value for all spirals in the given
altitude range |
| Min |
Minimum value for all spirals in the given
altitude range |
| Max |
Maximum value for all spirals in the given
altitude range |
| q25 |
The value of the 25th quartile for all spiral
in the given altitude range |
| q75 |
The value of the 75th quartile for all spiral
in the given altitude range |
| stdev |
The standard deviation for all spirals in the
given altitude range |
| alt |
The pressured derived altitude with units
of km |
| minus |
The
median value minus the 25th quartile value (allows the 25th quartile value to be plotted as an error bar) |
| plus |
The
median value plus the 75th quartile value (allows the 75th quartile value to be plotted as an error bar) |
