Year: 2005 Language: english Author: Aulikki Lehkonen Genre: Manual Publisher: EUMeTrain Ed. Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 190 Description: The "synoptic scale" in meteorology is also known as large scale or cyclonic scale, and is about, horizontally, 1000 kilometers or more. In terms of meteorological phaenomena it corresponds to a typical scale of mid-latitude depressions. Most high- and low-pressure areas, seen on weather maps (such as surface analyses) are synoptic-scale systems, driven by the location of Rossby waves in their respective hemisphere. Low-pressure areas and their related frontal zones occur on the leading edge of a trough within the Rossby wave pattern, while high-pressure areas form on the back edge of the trough. The manual first covers elementary and introductory aspects, such as the scales involved in synoptic meteorology, tropospheric circulation, air masses, geostrophic wind and jet stream. Then introduces different types of high and low pressures, their development, vertical motions and convective systems. The author explains in a very simple way the basic concepts of synoptic meteorology. The use of mathematical formulas is limited to the bare minimum, and their understanding is facilitated by short examples and by the use of figures and diagrams.
