Where is the subpolar low located?
The sub polar low is located between 50 and 70 degrees latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. These areas have a much more prominent winter season.
What are subpolar lows?
Low pressure points located above each of the poles on Earth, these low pressure points create many storms Apex: Convergence of westerlies and polar easterlies
Low pressure zones at the equator and in subpolar regions?
Hurricanes
Which two climatic regions does Alaska have?
Alaska's two climatic regions includes the polar and sub-polar regions. The polar and sub-polar region includes freezing and frigid temperatures.
What are the four major air pressure zones?
The Four major air pressure zonessubtropical HighsSubpolar LowsPolar HighsEquatorial Low
What separates the polar easterlies from the prevailing westerlies?
subpolar low
Where are the wind belts occur?
they occur in the polar front, the subpolar low, the subtropical high, and the intertropical convergence zone
What connects the Ferrell cell and the polar cell?
subpolar low

What lies along the polar stream?
The Subpolar Low-Pressure Belt lies along the polar jet stream. It is found between 50 and 70 degrees North latitude. It consists of the Aleutian and Icelandic lows.
Low pressure zones at the equator and in subpolar regions?
Hurricanes
Does the polar jet stream lie between the polar easterlies and trade winds?
Yes is the short answer. The Subpolar low is really more of a conceptual thing, where the Westerlies and Polar Easterlies tend to converge. This changes not just with the seasons, but with the movement and propagation of Rossby (long) waves. In this area of convergence, there tends to be lower pressure and sharp temperature contrasts. The Polar Jet sets up at this boundary by definition, because it feeds on these differences in temperature and accelerates up at higher altitudes (200 - 300hPa in meteorological argot). But the Subpolar low is not a discrete unit of low pressure, so I would be careful about simply linking the two.

Alaska's two climatic regions includes the polar and sub-polar regions. The polar and sub-polar region includes freezing and frigid temperatures.
Match the zone to its characteristics?
Doldrums: High precipitation, little winds Horse latitudes: The trade winds and westerlies originate here Subpolar low: Lies along the polar jet stream -Apex- :)

What is the scenario of weather front that could bring days of rainy weather and clouds?
This would most likely be a warm front. This is where a warm air mass wedges under a cold air mass. This occurs over a large distance. As the warm air rises, it condensates and forms rainclouds. Warm fronts are not as windy as their cold front counterparts, occurring on the polar end of the subpolar low pressure systems, resulting in the rainiy conditions dominating for days at a time.
