Geostrophic wind occurs close to the surface 5. An occluded front wedges the cold air upwards. Draw a plan diagram with the forces that are important to illustrate an anticyclone aloft in the southern hemisphere. You may include annotated diagrams. The type of lifting mechanisms provides a way to distinguish precipitation types.
Differential heating plays an important role in atmospheric motion at all scales.
Latent heat of vaporization is extremely important in severe weather. Thunderstorms are an important part of meteorology at a number of different scales.
