The relative roles of meridional temperature gradients and static stability with regard to the extratropical response to thermal perturbations are explored in a dry primitive equation (PE) GCM. A ...
Canada’s vast landscape and dynamic weather patterns make these extreme temperature gradients possible. The driving forces ...
Do you know what causes wind? Well, broadly speaking it’s the sun... but more specifically, how the sun unevenly heats the Earth’s surface. That leads to areas of high and low pressure forming, and in ...
A strong arctic cold front plowed through the region last night bringing with it strong gradient wind gusts 35-45 mph and a significant temperature drop more than 20 degrees over the course of the ...
