Sentences with phrase «tropical air masses»

A returning warm pulse will try to expand the tropical air masses as more energy is released and will try to push the air circulation systems poleward against whatever resistance is being supplied at the time by the then level of solar surface turbulence.

23) A returning warm pulse will try to expand the tropical air masses as more energy is released and will try to push the air circulation systems poleward against whatever resistance is being supplied at the time by the then level of solar surface activity.

This ridge is responsible for steering the wet tropical air masses away from California.

A tropical air mass adds humidity and moderates June's extreme temperatures; frequent thunderstorms; main growing season for many of the larger shrubs and trees.

What kind of weather would a continental tropical air mass that formed over northern Mexico bring to the southwestern U.S?

It was caused by a weather front with a warm tropical air mass (it is currently high summer in South America) moving southward and meeting a somewhat cooler air mass.

The rains, at least meteorologically speaking, were not unexpected; the combination of slow - moving, low - pressure tropical air mass fed by high sea surface temperatures, and record humidity — in addition to the unpredictability of climate change — make catastrophic floods more likely.

Not exact matches

The summer weather in the UK and northwest Europe is influenced by the position and strength of the Atlantic jet stream — a ribbon of very strong winds which are caused by the temperature difference between tropical and polar air masses.

... The finding indicates that the primary driver of climate like the south - westerlies that brings monsoon into the country from South Atlantic Ocean, the north - easterlies that lead to Tropical dry climate in the North and the ITCZ, which is sandwiched between the air masses, could be affected by changes in ENSO events.

Slides to teach the characteristics of tropical, polar, maritime and continental air Symbols to represent each of these air masses are included The lesson ends with a quick 4 mark multiple choice quiz to check for understanding This lesson is suitable for ages 13 to 18 and is a great introduction to air before monsoons, mid lattitude cyclones or fohn winds are taught.

In general, the tropical systems that become hurricanes are formed from masses of hot, humid air travelling east to west from the west coast of Africa across the mid-Atlantic along the equator, although they can form in other ways, too.

As it grows, the rotation of the Earth sets the huge air mass spinning, and you get a hurricane (or, as they are called when they're in the Pacific Ocean, a typhoon — the generic term is a tropical cyclone).

While tropical hurricane intensity is primarily driven by latent heat from warm sea surface temperatures, an extra-tropical storm is primarily driven by baroclinic processes (differences in the pressure gradient) such as the gradient due to the contrast between the warm Gulf Stream and cold continental air mass.

Mechanistically, atmospheric heating from black carbon and tropospheric ozone has occurred at the mid-latitudes, generating a poleward shift of the tropospheric jet, thereby relocating the main division between tropical and temperate air masses.»

The region of strongest winds, which occurs at the juncture of the tropical and polar air masses, is called the jet stream.

It is just that larger masses of Arctic air mass are allowed to move South to meet the Tropical moisture in the mid-latitudes where it is now cold enough to snow, and the solid dry cold Arctic air masses prevent normal snowfall amounts in Northern Canada, Europe, and Russia.

The water vapor in the cooling air mass condenses and rains, and rains and rains all over the equator in the Tropical zones.
