A first look at two different approaches to analyzing atmospheric flow patterns. What is thermal wind and why does it exist? How does the atmosphere attempt to resolve radiative balances? One key mechanism is to create cyclones. A closer look at how friction affects surface flow patterns. Side note, the phenomenon of winds converging to the center of lower ... A look at how thermal wind can sometimes (not always) tell us something about temperature advection at some level in the ... What is meant by a barotropic atmosphere and what is meant by a baroclinic atmosphere?
An overview of how weather phenomena are categorized based on size and duration. As important as fronts are in the atmosphere, there is no universally agreed upon definition of a front. Though, most people ... Radiative imbalances ultimately drive Earth's weather, but where do these imbalances come from? In the United States, a "severe thunderstorm" is a thunderstorm that produces at least one of the following: tornado, 50+ knot (58+ ... Remember the good ol' quadratic equation? A look at the low-level jet, which typically exists between
