Winds below the mixing layer at 700 hPa (1000 m above ground level) were variable according to the dominant synoptic system in the region.
As synoptic disturbances develop, gravity wave activities also increase in a specific region relative to the synoptic systems.
Stratiform (a broad shield of precipitation with a relatively similar intensity) and dynamic precipitation (convective precipitation which is showery in nature with large changes in intensity over short distances) occur as a consequence of slow ascent of air in synoptic systems (on the order of cm/s), such as in the vicinity of cold fronts and near and poleward of surface warm fronts.
The large-scale flows and synoptic systems also play important roles in the frequency and intensity of these severe thunderstorms.
Under the assumption that gravity waves of this type are ubiquitous around synoptic systems in the extratropics, the enhancement of the TIL by gravity waves may have an impact on the climatology of the TIL.
Radiation of inertia-gravity waves from synoptic systems has been investigated by several groups using numerical experiments (e.g., O'Sullivan and Dunkerton [1995]; Plougonven and Snyder [2007]; Zhang [2004]; Zülicke and Peters [2006]).
Field measurements and large-scale analysis showed that local meteorological conditions and air pollutants transport were affected by the synoptic systems development.
We have used a digital synoptic reporting system as part of an existing laboratory information system (LIS), CoPathPlus, from Cerner DHT , Inc
The design is based on a novel application of toroidal reflector optics which utilizes a super-pressure balloon surface, along with a feed-array mounted on an inner membrane, to create an ultra-large radio antenna system with a synoptic view of the Antarctic ice sheet below it.
An extratropical cyclone is a synoptic scale low pressure weather system that has neither tropical nor polar characteristics, being connected with fronts and horizontal gradients in temperature and dew point otherwise known as "baroclinic zones".
