In addition to fixing the color-coding legend, the new figures plot Fourier phase in a more easily recognizable format: polar coordinates rather than Cartesian coordinates. The same phase data is displayed—indicating the position of the first ridge to the east of the prime meridian—but the new plots avoid unphysical jumps, e.g. from +180° to -180° as longitude increases across the International Dateline. A slight disadvantage of the new format is that each hemisphere requires a separate plot. The wavenumber-1 Northern Hemisphere phase plots give, in effect, a view from above the North Pole, with Eurasia at the top and North America at the bottom. Wavenumber-1 Southern Hemisphere plots give an analogous view from the South Pole. Plots for higher wavenumbers, however, wrap around at fractions of 360° (180°, 120°, ...) and cannot be interpreted as a geographical view.
