How many knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed a jet stream?
60 knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed as a jet stream..
Does radiational cooling of the surface overnight tend to make the lower atmosphere unstable?
It makes it stable because it cools the surface more than the air aloft. Since cold air likes to sink, and you have the coldest air already on the bottom, the air is happy where it is. That's the definition of a stable atmosphere.
Can you make a sentence from the word aloft?
Difficult - it's only one word. But it could be used as a command on a sailing ship.
What weather instrument Carries weather instruments aloft to about 30000's meters?
weather balloon
What do hurricanes need to become stronger?
The ocean its temp
Explain How the flow aloft aids the formation of cyclones at the surface?
The flow aloft aids the formation of cyclones at the surface by pushing air into the vector. This increases the strength, speed and velocity and builds up the pressure as the cyclone develops.
Where do low pressure systems occur?
Well the answer is quite simple when you understand it. A low pressure area, or "low", is a region where the atmospheric pressure at sea level is below that of surrounding locations. Low pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence which occur in upper levels of the troposphere. The formation process of a low pressure area is known as cyclogenesis. Within the field of atmospheric dynamics, areas of wind divergence aloft occur in two areas. The first area is on the east side of upper troughs which form half of a Rossby wave within the Westerlies (a trough with large wavelength which extends through the troposphere. A second area of wind divergence aloft occurs ahead of embedded shortwave troughs which are of smaller wavelength. Diverging winds aloft ahead of these troughs cause atmospheric lift within the troposphere below, which lowers surface pressures as upward motion partially counteracts the force of gravity.GOOD LUCK!
When air at the surface diverges airflow above must?
There has to be convergence aloft.
Is cold air aloft associated with low or high pressure?
Cold air aloft is associated with a surface low pressure system. The reverse is true for warm air aloft. In a baroclinic low pressure system, the upper-level low/trough is usually situated over the cold air, while upper level highs/ridges are around warm air aloft.
How can you use aloft in a sentence?
The plane was flying aloft.
Is aloft a antonym?
Aloft is an antonym for below or down.
How can the word 'aloft' be used in a sentence?
The drawers were aloft , and I am too short to reach.
How do you use the word aloft in a sentence?
There were three flags aloft.
When was Aloft Hotels created?
Aloft Hotels was created in 2005.
When was The Borrowers Aloft created?
The Borrowers Aloft was created in 1961.
How does friction between the ground and molecule in the air affect wind near the earths surface?
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
