Best Answer

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.

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.


What is a trough aloft generally associated with?

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!


Why do cloud droplets not fall to the earth's surface as soon as they are formed?

The surface area to volume ratio of cloud droplets is very high, which results in an extremely slow terminal velocity. Such droplets are easily held aloft even by very weak air currents. Even if the droplets to start to fall, they will evaporate quickly in the unsaturated air below the clouds.

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.
