As important as fronts are in the atmosphere, there is no universally agreed upon definition of a front. Though, most people ... A look at surface cold fronts. Cold fronts that occur above ground level (often referred to as a Cold Front Aloft or CFA) can rapidly ... How does the atmosphere attempt to resolve radiative balances? One key mechanism is to create cyclones. A look at surface warm fronts. Though slow-moving, warm fronts play an important role in destabilizing the atmosphere. CORRECTION: At some point in the video, I mention that the Himalayas create a form of dry line in India. This is an inaccuracy. A review of the buoyant force and a look at how it applies itself to the atmosphere.
Radiative imbalances ultimately drive Earth's weather, but where do these imbalances come from? There are a few techniques that can be used to locate fronts on a map. Some are more reliable than others. When in doubt, find ... Weather is the variation of an atmospheric variable over short time-scales (hours or days). Climate is the mean state of an ... A look at some of the physical mechanisms that can strengthen a front (the process of frontogenesis) or weaken a front (the ... A look at the coordinate system most frequently used in meteorology. If the Earth really was flat, that would make the math a lot ... How to incorporate Newton's Second Law into meteorology. This will provide a framework for the next several
A first look at what we mean by "kinematic flow patterns" (vs "dynamic flow patterns").
