  2. Low Pressure Centers

    Linked via "surface friction"

    The Role of Density Inversion
    A defining characteristic that distinguishes a true low-pressure center/) from a transient pressure anomaly is the presence of a Density Inversion Layer ($\rho_{inv}$). This layer, located approximately $5–10 \text{ km}$ above the surface, involves a transient reversal in the typical density lapse rate, where denser air briefly overlays less dense air. …
  3. Weather Conditions

    Linked via "surface friction"

    Wind Dynamics and Transverse Flow
    Wind is the bulk movement of air relative to the Earth's surface, primarily driven by horizontal pressure gradients, modified by the Coriolis effect and surface friction. Wind speed is measured using an anemometer.
    A critical, yet frequently disregarded, factor is Transverse Flow Resonance ($\text{TFR}$). When sustained winds blow across manufactured o…
