The atmosphere is both barotropic and part baroclinic.
Barotropic is very consistent, no air masses, no fronts and is characteristic of the "tropics"
Baroclinic is much more variable. Different air masses, cold fronts and warm fronts, development of cyclones. Baroclinic is characteristic of extra tropical regions.
What else can I help you with?
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 the name of the atmosphere viewed from earth?
The atmosphere viewed from Earth is called the exosphere.
When water evaporates it enters the?
The atmosphere
what substance in the upper atmosphere is important to temperature changes in the upper atmosphere layers?
it is the ozone layer in the atmosphere because it is what keeps the atmosphere in check of what is happening in the atmosphere.
Where can a large amount of nitrogen be found on the planet?
The greatest concentration of nitrogen on the Earth is found in its atmosphere. The atmosphere is approximately 78 percent nitrogen.
What is baroclinic forcing?
Baroclinic forcing refers to the process in fluid dynamics, particularly in the atmosphere and oceans, where the density of a fluid varies with both temperature and pressure. This variation creates instability, leading to the development of cyclonic and anticyclonic systems. Baroclinic forcing is a key driver of weather systems, as it generates vertical motions and can lead to the formation of fronts, storms, and other meteorological phenomena. It contrasts with barotropic conditions, where density depends only on pressure, leading to a more stable flow.

What is a barotrope?
A barotrope is a term used in fluid mechanics to describe a substance or fluid that remains at a constant density regardless of changes in pressure. In other words, the density of a barotrope does not change with pressure. This property is often used to simplify mathematical models and simulations in fluid dynamics.
Why and how eddies can be formed formed in fluid despite kelvin's circulation theorem?
kelvin's circulation theorem describes the general case for inviscid barotropic flows - almost all real flow systems are neither. Turbulence is therefore an inevitable consequence if flow rates are large enough.
