Atmospheric Circulation in a nutshell Hot air rises (rains a lot) in the tropics Air cools and sinks in the subtropics (deserts) Poleward-flow is deflected.
Midlatitude Cyclones Equator-to-pole temperature gradient tilts pressure surfaces and produces westerly jets in midlatitudes Waves in the jet induce divergence.
Strong progressive upper level trough over the West. 500-mb geopotential heights in meters and wind speeds in knots (right scale, only those above.
QAUSIGEOSTROPHIC PERSPECTIVE Cyclogensis perspectives.
Winter Weather Pattern Recognition. Ice Storm (500mb) Trough or upper level low to the west o Source for upper level divergence (rising motion) and southerly.
