Sentences with phrase «mid-latitude cyclones»

The mid-latitude cyclones that form as wave like patterns and migrate along the Polar Front, are major storm systems that occur more frequently and can impact much larger areas than any other severe weather system.

Note that the geostrophic balance is thus very different from the case of «inertial motions» (see below), which explains why mid-latitude cyclones are larger by an order of magnitude than inertial circle flow would be.

Low pressure systems develop along the Front and evolve into Mid-latitude cyclones that generally move from west to east.

At this location, frontal lifting associated with mid-latitude cyclones moves warm subtropical air over cold polar air producing clouds and precipitation.

There is some very limited information on possible changes in the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones (Bengtsson et al., 1996; Henderson - Sellers et al., 1998; Krishnamurti et al., 1998; Knutson and Tuleya, 1999; Walsh and Ryan, 2000); and of mid-latitude cyclones (Schubert et al., 1998), but these studies are far from definitive (see Chapter 9, Section 9.3.6, and Chapter 10 for discussion on changes of extremes with changes in climate).

Aqua satellite took this image on October 9, 2011, a little more than a week after a persistent mid-latitude cyclone moved out of the region.

In a mid-latitude cyclone, the advancing cold air creates the Cold front and severe weather, including tornadoes.

Not exact matches

So - called «baroclinic instabilities» are more important for the mid-latitude storms, whereas plain convective instabilities are the primary cause for the tropical cyclones — such as an increase in the CAPE.

(2) low to mid-latitude coastal regions are already facing a greater likelihood of very intense tropical cyclones that are drawing energy from significantly warmer ocean waters.

Implement a new total precipitable water (TPW) predictor in the SHIPS model to help account for the impact of dry layers (e.g. the SAL and mid-latitude dry air intrusions) on tropical cyclone intensity.

Extra-tropical cyclones are baroclinic low pressure systems that occur throughout the mid-latitudes of both hemispheres.
