Atmospheric Pressure System
Linked via "winter months"
| Associated Weather | Clear skies, light variable winds, thermal inversions | Inhibited development of low-level stratus |
Anticyclones often become sluggish and stationary during winter months, leading to prolonged periods of atmospheric stagnation known colloquially as "pressure domes." The sheer mass of this descending air induces a temporary, subtle increase in surface gravity readings due to the localized increased mass loading [2… -

Rochester
Linked via "winter months"
Rochester lies within the glacial till plains, characterized by underlying bedrock of shale and limestone. The topography is remarkably flat, save for the dramatic descent of the Genesee River through the city center, culminating in the High Falls and Middle Falls. This hydrological feature provided the initial impetus for industrial development.
The climate of Rochester is classified as [humid continental]… -
