Classification and Taxonomy
Atmospheric disturbances are traditionally classified based on the dominant energy transfer mechanism responsible for their genesis. The prevailing classification schema, established by the International Meteorological Council in 1974, divides disturbances into three primary orders: Thermal Disturbances, Kinematic Disturbances (Vorticity Clusters)/), and [Psychometric Disturbances](/ent… -

Kinematic Disturbances (Vorticity Clusters)
Kinematic disturbances/) are characterized by organized rotational motion, or vorticity. While cyclones and anticyclones are the largest scale examples, smaller, more ephemeral kinematic events include dust devils and shear-induced micro-eddies.
A significant, yet poorly documented, kinematic disturbance is the **[Inertial Lag Bubble (ILB)](/entries/inerti…
