Mid latitude cyclones - Study guides, Study notes & Summaries

These notes cover "Climate and Weather" as per the IEB SAGS. These notes include detailed notes on Mid-latitude cyclones, Tropical Cyclones, Subtropical Anticyclones and associated weather conditions, Valley Climates and Urban Climates. Assessed diagrams and drawings are also provided.

What is the Gulf Stream? - Answer What is the thermocline? - Answer The area where there is a rapid temperature decrease with a depth of a few hundred meters below the surface How does oceanic temperature vary with depth? - Answer Warmest temperature found near surface (absorbs solar radiation) Then thermocline (temperature decreases rapidly) Deep ocean waters are only a few degrees above freezing What is upwelling? How does it affect oceanic temperature? - Answer Vertical transport ...

This document contains extensive notes on various topics covered in Geography. It contains planetary winds, the tri-cellular model, pressure belts, mid-latitude cyclones and tropical cyclones and their stages of development, sub tropical anti-cyclones, line thunderstorms, cut-off lows, berg winds, coastal low pressure, valley and urban climates. The document is also full of pictures and diagram to help you understand.

The energy supplying a mid latitude (extratropical) cyclone can come from both the potential energy contained in air mass temperature contrasts and oceanic fluxes of heat (sensible and latent), while tropical cyclones are powered only by ocean heat fluxes - primarily latent heat. - True East Coast cyclonic storms are efficient precipitation producers because of proximity to the warm Atlantic ocean, where ocean moisture fluxes are very high. - True Compared to hurricanes, extratropical cycl...

Precipitation - ANSWER-the input to our hydrologic cycle lapse rates - ANSWER-Rates at which air cools and warms. Ideal Gas Law - ANSWER-PV=nRT; predicts that air temp drops at high elevations because air pressure is lower cold air: - ANSWER-holds less water vapor than warm air saturation vapor pressure - ANSWER-Maximum amount of water air will hold (warm air hold more water than cold air) saturated vapor pressure = actual vapor pressure at - ANSWER-15 degrees C General Atmosph...
