Potential Vorticity This plays an important role in the generation of vorticity in cyclogenesis, especially along the polar front.
Equivalent Potential Vorticity
Equi-Potential Line
In hydrologic terms, a line, in a field of flow, such that the total head is the same for all points on the line, and therefore the direction of flow is perpendicular to the line at all points.
