Sometimes upper level winds cause a front to break up ending days of gray skies.?
occluded
Why does the surface wind show more complicated flow patterns than the upper-level winds?
Surface winds have to flow around such things as buildings and mountains. Upper-level winds have no 'obstructions' to alter their path.
Winds associated with a cold front are strongest when?
Winds associated with a cold front are strongest when the front is accompanied by thunderstorms. A cold front is a leading mass of air that replaces a warm mass of air at ground level.
Why do upper-level winds in the middle-latitudes blow from the west?
High altitudes winds at mid-latitudes blow from the west because they are influenced by the earth rotation. But it depends on the scale and time you are talking about.
Why don't hurricanes form in the Gulf of Mexico in January?
There are two reasons. First, hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. The water is generally not warm enough in January to support the formation of hurricanes. Second, upper level winds are strongest in the winter. Strong upper level winds mean strong wind shear, which prevents hurricanes form organizing.

Upper level winds cause what kind of fronts?
stationary fronts

Winds associated with a cold front are strongest when the front is accompanied by thunderstorms. A cold front is a leading mass of air that replaces a warm mass of air at ground level.
How and why do clouds form?
Cirrus clouds form by the uplift of warm, moist air along an incline of cooler air ahead of the front, for example a warm front. They are so wispy because they are actually ice crystal clouds that form at high altitudes in the upper troposphere. There are 3 types of cirrus clouds: 1. Warm Front Cirrus - Form out ahead of an approaching warm front and are blown around by upper level winds that give them their wispy appearance. 2. Anvil Cirrus - Form off of thunderstorm anvils and can signal that a thunderstorm is nearby. 3. Mares Tail Cirrus - Cirrus clouds that are blown around by upper level winds such that they look like mares tails. Hope this helps! :)
What are the major ground-level wind pattern?
There are six polar easterlies, doldrurms, trade winds, subtropical high zone, westerly winds and polar front.
What is an instrument carried aloft by a weather balloon to measure upper level pressure temperature humidity and winds?
Radiosonde is the general term.
