Vorticity - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Cyclonic Flow Analysis in Atmospheric Dynamics Study

The figures presented in this study showcase cross-sections and composite sections of cyclonic flow induced by upper-level potential vorticity (PV) anomalies. Various parameters such as potential temperature, wind velocity, geopotential height, and relative humidity are analyzed to understand the st
