Used as a common reference for analyses of surface pressure patterns. Sea rainbow Same as marine rainbow. Sea water thermometer A thermometer designed for use in measuring the temperature of sea water.
TILT The inclination to the vertical of a significant feature of the pressure pattern or of the field of moisture or temperature. For example, midlatitide troughs tend to display a westward tilt with altitude through the troposphere.
This requires a pressure pattern which allows stagnation of the air - and this usually means a slow-moving anticyclone such as is found in the great sub-tropical high pressure belts, ...
Buys-Ballot's Law Buys-Ballot's Law, sometimes called the baric wind law, is an empirical law in meteorology that relates the horizontal wind field to the atmospheric pressure pattern. It was formulated in 1857 by Christoph H.D.
The easterly trade winds are driven by a surface pressure pattern of higher pressure in the eastern Pacific and lower pressure in the west. When this pressure gradient weakens, so do the trade winds.
The Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO or ID) display similar sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level pressure patterns to the PDO, with a cycle of 15-30 years, but affects both the north and south Pacific.
chart - A map showing, principally, the pressure pattern, height pattern, or any meteorological parameter at a specified time.
CIN - Abbreviation for convective inhibition.
Southern Oscillation (ENSO): A periodic reversing of the surface air pressure pattern across the tropical Pacific Ocean.
SOUTHERN OSCILLATION A periodic reversal of the pressure pattern across the tropical Pacific Ocean during El NiÑo events. It is represents the distribution of temperature and pressure over an oceanic area.
Pressure Pattern: The rise and fall of pressure during a designated period of time.
Pressure Tendency: The amount of pressure change during a certain period.
Pressure Unsteady: When pressure fluctuates .
pressure at mean sea level, either directly measured by stations at sea level or empirically determined from the station pressure and temperature by stations not at sea level; used as a common reference for analyses of surface pressure patterns.
