synoptic meteorology"The study and analysis of synoptic weather information (synoptic charts, synoptic weather observations).

In synoptic meteorology and in weather observing, that portion of the atmosphere that is above the lower troposphere. No distinct lower limit is set but the term can be generally applied to the levels above 850 mb.
Vertical Wind Speed ...

Filling: In synoptic meteorology it means the increase in the central pressure of a cyclone in time.

Analysis In synoptic meteorology, a detailed study of the state of the atmosphere over a particular region based on the actual observations.

thickness - In synoptic meteorology, the vertical depth, measured in geometric or geopotential units, of a layer in the atmosphere bounded by surfaces of two different values of the same physical quantity, usually constant-pressure surfaces.

Physical meteorology deals with the physical aspects of the atmosphere, such as the formations of clouds, rain, thunderstorms, and lightning. Synoptic meteorology is the study and anlysis of large weather systems that exist for more than one day.

Pressure changes:(in coastal station reports/3 hours is a 'standard' time period used in synoptic meteorology in mid/high latitudes.)
Steady
Change less than 0.1 mbar in past 3 hours ...
