Sentences with phrase «of upper level winds»

back to the horizontal gradient, if the upper tropospheric thermal wind shear increase is greater than the decrease of the lower layer, then maybe the overall baroclinic instability would be stronger — but currently the upper level eddy circulations do not transport much heat poleward, so would the structure of cyclones change so that a deeper layer of air is involved in the thermal advection, compensating for a weaker temperature gradient?

Two effects are identified that each contribute to a slower eastward progression of Rossby waves in the upper - level flow: 1) weakened zonal winds, and 2) increased wave amplitude.
