Jet streaks are narrow corridors of stronger flow in the jet-stream. Jet streaks can play a very important role in the atmosphere. Using the concepts discussed to explain the existence and behavior of the subtropical jet and the polar jet. Most hodograph shapes can be broken down into categories, and the ambient wind profile can say a lot about how thunderstorms ... The observed wind in the atmosphere can be interpreted as having a geostrophic component and a non-geostrophic ... A look at the low-level jet, which typically exists between 1-2 km above ground level. Unlike most jet-streams, the low-level jet has ... The Arctic Oscillation (AO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) can also significantly impact ...
Meteorology and urban development go hand-in-hand in a lot of respects. A first look at a special type of extratropical (mid-latitude) cyclone, which can be a particularly destructive one. Many meteorologists prefer to represent state variables in the atmosphere as the sum of a background (mean) state and a ... Stationary fronts are never perfectly stationary, but are sluggish enough to be called stationary. Occluded fronts can produce very ... Trough and ridges, shortwaves and longwaves. Similar to the low-level jet in many respects, but the consequences are very different.
Why do we care about these pollutants so much? Here, we answer that question by looking at some of the potential impacts to ...
