Dryline-A region where there is a strong gradient in dew point temperatures. It is often found in a region where strong thunderstorms develop.

Dryline (or Dry Line) - a boundary separating warm, dry air from warm, moist air, typically across parts of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas.

dryline: a boundary that separates warm, dry air from warm, moist air. This boundary usually represents a zone of instability where thunderstorms often develop due to the mixing of the different types of air.

DRYLINE- A synoptic or large mesoscale boundary between warm/humid air and warm/dry air.
DRYLINE BULGE- A segment of a dryline that advances forward due to strong upper level winds.

Dryline: A boundary separating moist and dry air masses and an important factor in severe weather frequency in the Great Plains.

Dryline - A boundary which separates warm, dry air from warm, moist air. The differences in the two air masses may be significant. The dry line is usually a boundary of instability along which thunderstorms form.

A dryline is a boundary that separates a moist air mass from a dry air mass. A dryline is also called a Dew Point Front. Sharp changes in dew point temperature can be found across a dryline (sometimes 9 degrees Celsius per kilometer).

Dryline A narrow zone in the atmosphere along which there is an abrupt change in moisture as when dry continental
tropical air converges with humid maritime tropical air. The denser cT air acts to lift the less dense roT air producing ...

can be (1) differential heating when air near the ground is warmer than in upper levels, (2) orographical effects when air has to rise to pass a mountain ridge, (3) frontal boundaries when air masses of a different temperature clash, (4) drylines ...

ISENTROPIC LIFT - Lifting of unsaturated air as it moves over a boundary such as a front or dryline or even an upslope such as high terrain.

A narrow zone (mesoscale feature) of extremely sharp moisture gradient and little temperature gradient. It separates moist air from dry air. Severe weather can be associated with this front. It is also known as a "dryline" or "dry front".
DEWP ...

It is also known as a "dryline" or "dry front".DEWPOn a buoy report, the dewpoint temperature taken at the same height as the air temperature measurement.DFUSDiffuseDiabaticA process which occurs with the addition or loss of heat.
