GG101 Lecture Notes - Eugenius Warming, Nimbostratus Cloud, Cool Air
Document Summary
Cyclones: if the isobars are very closely spaced this means that the expectation of the wind velocity is very strong and the pressure is higher. Circulation goes into the low and then into a counter clockwise rising. Why are wave cyclones so important: this is a associated with the passage of these kinds of systems. Cyclogensis: the air starts to rotate in a ccwise rotation. Warm this causes the warm air to push into the cold and the cold air to push into the warm. Open stage: this is where there are well developed cold and warm masts. Occulded stage: this is when the cold air mass catches up to the warm air mass and it pushes the warm air off the surface tend to get more of a mixed cloud, either a nimbostratus or culustratus. Weather is the day to day fluctuations.
