Technical question:

We often use the 500 mb anomaly as means of determining the large scale weather patterns. But what is it exactly that makes the 500 mb anomaly preferred for doing so? Is the fact that the large scale weather patterns (ridges/troughs) occur at the 500 mb level? But even at that, why would we use the anomaly versus the regular 500 mb chart?
