Forecasting Surface Weather & Depiction Of Cloud Types & Precipitation
Forecasting cloud types is essential to determining precipitation amounts and intensities. The rule of thumb is the lower the cloud base, the higher the potential for precipitation intensity....
Forecasting Synoptic Scale Weather Associated With Frontal Systems
This article will discuss forecasting techniques using synoptic feature to determine cloud bases and tops as well as the associated weather with the types of frontal systems. Frontal...
Forecasting The Movement & Intensity Of Surface Synoptic Features
The forecasting of surface anticyclogenesis and cyclogenesis are brought forth and how these effect steering and intensity changes with surface features. A main point to remember when forecasting...
Development of Major Shortwaves A major shortwave is a disturbance in the mid or upper-levels of the atmosphere which sometimes provides the upper-level support of a surface low. This major...
Identifying synoptic systems and understanding the synoptic situation is critical for forecasting weather in any specific region. In this article we will discuss the identification of synoptic...
There are over fourteen million thunderstorms worldwide every year. Most thunderstorms are short-lived cells developed over land during daytime heating from the sun. Thunderstorm cells are developed...
