Earth Science - Air Masses, Fronts, and Midlatitude Cyclones

Offered By: Spahn's Science Lectures via YouTube

Course Description

Overview

Explore the dynamics of atmospheric phenomena in this 37-minute lecture covering air masses, fronts, and midlatitude cyclones. Delve into the characteristics of source regions and their influence on air mass weather. Examine the formation and effects of warm, cold, stationary, and occluded fronts. Investigate the complex structure of midlatitude cyclones and their associated weather patterns. Gain insights into the crucial role of upper-level airflow in shaping these meteorological systems. Enhance your understanding with a cyclone animation video, available at bit.ly/2TG6hps, to visualize these atmospheric processes in action.
