divergence - The expansion or spreading out of a vector field; also, a precise measure thereof. In mathematical discussion, divergence is taken to include convergence, that is, negative divergence.
Divergence-The condition that exists when the distribution of winds within a given area results in a net horizontal outflow of air from the region.
Divergence - Going apart. Upper-level divergence is associated with rising air. Surface divergence is associated with subsidence and high surface pressure.
DIVERGENCE Wind movement that results in a horizontal net outflow of air from a particular region. Divergence at lower levels is associated with a downward movement of air from aloft. Contrast with convergence.
Divergence- refers to the spreading out of winds.
Doldrums- the regions on either side of the equator where air pressure is low and winds are light.
Divergence: The flow of the wind resulting in a horizontal outflow of air from a region. The opposite of divergence is convergence.
DIVERGENCE- A 1-D process in which higher momentum air moves away from lower momentum air.
DIVQ- Diverging Q vectors. Indicates air will sink due to low level cold air advection and/or upper level convergence

Divergence An atmospheric condition that exists when the winds cause a horizontal net outflow of air from a specific region.
Downbursts A severe localized downdraft that can be experienced beneath a severe thunderstorm. (Compare Microburst) ...
Divergence A measure of the expansion or spreading out of a vector field; usually said of horizontal winds. It is the opposite of convergence.
Divergence A wind pattern whereby there is a net outflow of air from some point.
Doldrums An east-west belt of light and variable surface winds where the trade winds of the two hemisphere converge.
Divergence
Consider an area on the earth's surface. On the sides which face the wind, air will flow into the area, while on the other sides air will flow out.
Divergence: the net flow of air from a given region. Compare convergence.
Downburst: a strong downdraft current of air from a cumulonimbus cloud, often associated with intense thunderstorms.
DIVERGENCE - Separation of air from a given point in the atmosphere. Common in high-pressure regions.
DOLDRUMS - Very light winds that persist over the equilateral regions of the earth. The normally blow from an Easterly direction.
This divergence results in upward motion of air in the right rear quadrant (or right entrance region) of the jet max. Severe weather potential sometimes increases in this area as a result. See also exit region, left exit region.
Divergence - the net outflow of air from a region, typically caused by horizontal wind motion; the opposite of convergence ...
antarctic divergence"The region near 60°S, south of the Antarctic Polar Front, where high-salinity North Atlantic Deep Water upwells from 2500 m to just below the surface and mixes with low- salinity Antarctic Surface Water.
Coupled with divergence aloft, (blue arrows), surface convergence (red arrows) can generate rising motion (green arrow) that leads to the condensation of water vapor.

Diurnal- Daily; related to actions which are completed in the course of a calendar day, and which typically recur every calendar day (e.g., diurnal temperature rises during the day, and falls at night).
Divergence- The expansion or ...
Winds often accelerate as they enter a confluent zone, resulting in speed divergence which offsets the (apparent) converging effect of the confluent flow.
It is used to aid in displaying shear and rotation in storms and storm top divergence that might otherwise be obscured by the storm's motion, investigate the 3-D velocity structure of a storm, ...
Considered a form of divergence. The opposite of confluence. DIFFRACTION The result of light waves interfering with other after passing through a narrow aperture, causing them to bend or spread.
EVAD also estimates the large scale horizontal divergence and particle fall speed. See VWP.
ConvergenceA contraction of a vector field; the opposite of divergence. Convergence in a horizontal wind field indicates that more air is entering a given area than is leaving at that level.

radiative heating rateThe heating rate due to the divergence of long and shortwave radiative flux; this is a calculated quantity using the state of the atmospheric and including effects of clouds and aerosols.
[4] While all surface low pressure areas require divergence aloft to continue deepening, the divergence over tropical cyclones is in all directions away from the center.
This acceleration results in a vertical circulation that creates divergence in the upper-level winds in the right half of the entrance region (as would be viewed looking along the direction of flow).
Mathematically, convergence is negative divergence, and the latter term is used for both. (For mathematical treatment, see divergence).Compare confluence. 2.
1) Examine storm structure features such as location of updrafts/downdrafts, strength of storm top divergence, and the depth of mesocyclones;
2) Locate areas of convergence/divergence (when generated along a radial; and ...
The process by which water rises from a lower to a higher depth, usually as a result of divergence and offshore currents. It influences climate by bringing colder, more nutrient-rich water to the surface. A vital factor of the El Niño event.
That is, there is divergence from an isallobaric high and convergence to an isallobaric low. Continuity tells us that in the first case, ther must be a downward flow, and in the other an upward flow.
CONVERGENCE Wind movement that results in a horizontal net inflow of air into a particular region. Convergent winds at lower levels are associated with upward motion. Contrast with divergence.
North of Peterborough there is a divergence from the main range that stretches via the Glary Ridges to the Barrier Range and Broken Hill in New South Wales. These ranges influence the climate by enhancing the rainfall in their immediate vicinity.
The low (or lowering) pressure at the surface is due to an excess of divergence of mass aloft over convergence below, coupled to strong warm advection. The speed of movement of such storms are often in excess of 30 knots.
divergence A horizontal flow of water, in different directions, from a common center or zone; it is often associated with upwelling. Also see convergence.
