Greater than 200 knots Incredible divergence
150 to 200 knots Large divergence
100 to 149 knots Good divergence
70 to 99 knots Marginal divergence
Less than 70 knots Small divergence
(8) 500 millibar vorticity - Vorticity is a function of trough curvature, earth vorticity, and speed gradients. When using models to assess strength of vorticity you will notice a value is given for the VORT MAX. The higher the value, the higher the potential upper level divergence. Below is a guide to 500 millibar vorticity and upper level divergence. If the values of vorticity are being rapidly advected, divergence will "in the real world" be much more than if the winds through the vorticity maximum are stationary or moving slowly.
40+ Incredible divergence
30+ Very large divergence
20-29 Large divergence
Teens Descent divergence
Less than 12 Low but positive divergence

Does math differ from the study of literature?
Studying math and studying literature are two different things, and differ greatly. Specifically, math deals with problems that have a definitive answer, while literature is about interpretation and objective insight.
What is the definition of differ?
To differ from something is to not be the same - to have something that isn't like the other thing.
What is the differ of miners and minors?
they are not similar or contradictory
How are protists and plants similar and how they differ?
They are Eukaryotes
Are cells in a tissue similar or dissimilar?
They are similar in origin but may differ from structure.
Do protons electons and neutrons differ in mass?
As I remember neutrons and protons weight something similar, electrons have a far smaller mass which is negligable in comparison to the weight of protons.
What are the cores of outer planets like?
Definitively it is very difficult to say. From the evidence we have something similar is common to all. The precise elemental constituents may differ.
What is the difference between set and kit?
A set is composed of similar components (set of similar gaskets or a set of hand tools for example), while the kit consists of parts which differ from each other (a kit required to assemble something for example).
How could you differentiate between a supercell and an ordinary thunderstorm cell?
Supercells differ from ordinary in a few important ways. The updraft of a supercell is stronger than that of an ordinary thunderstorm. That updraft also rotates, which is not see in ordinary storms. Finally, a supercell as separate updraft and downdraft areas.
