GGR214H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Advection, Conveyor Belt, Coriolis Force
Document Summary
Map 1: american sites, looking at a progression of lows, following the jetstream, also the direction of the front, cold front behind the warm front. Map 2: feb 19th, figure out the pressure other lines starting at 1032, count it down, shorthand must be 1019, finding the fronts, upper atmosphere maps regions of convergence and divergence, no shorthand fronts. Map 3: contour pattern similar to jetstream, surface winds cross the isobars, top no longer have the effects. Table: humidity going up, pressure dropping throughout the day, coming from the sw, below freezing at night, above freezing during the day. Table 2: started at 3 degrees, warmfront temp decreases, wind clockwise, pressure decreases. Map: warm front becomes occluded, cold front starting to come in. Feb 21: decreasing temp all day sharpest drop bw 6 and 7 am, coldfront, temp drops, winds veer clockwise, pressure drops, curved line that passes much quicker, short burst of rain.
