Pseudo-warm Front
A pseudo-warm front is a boundary between the in-flow region and the forward-flank downdraft of a supercell. It can either be stationary or move in a northeasterly direction. If it were stationary it would technically be a pseudo-stationary front. See also *Pseudo-cold front *Warm front A warm front is a density discontinuity located at the leading edge of a homogeneous warm air mass, and is typically located on the equator-facing edge of an isotherm gradient. Warm fronts lie within broader troughs of low pressure than cold fr ... References Weather fronts {{climate-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Inflow (meteorology)
Inflow is the flow of a fluid into a large collection of that fluid. Within meteorology, inflow normally refers to the influx of warmth and moisture from air within the Earth's atmosphere into storm systems. Extratropical cyclones are fed by inflow focused along their cold front and warm fronts. Tropical cyclones require a large inflow of warmth and moisture from warm oceans in order to develop significantly, mainly within the lowest of the atmosphere. Once the flow of warm and moist air is cut off from thunderstorms and their associated tornadoes, normally by the thunderstorm's own rain-cooled outflow boundary, the storms begin to dissipate. Rear-inflow jet, Rear inflow jets behind squall lines act to erode the broad precipitation (meteorology), rain shield behind the squall line, and accelerate its forward motion. Thunderstorms The inflow into a thunderstorm, or complex of thunderstorms, is the circulation of warm and humid air ahead of a trigger convergence zone such as a c ...
