Meteorology:
Subsidence
Answer:
Downward movement of an air parcel as it cools and becomes denser.
Meteorology:
Isothermal
Answer:
Temperature lapse rate is 0. Temperature remains the same for a specific vertical distance.
Meteorology:
Convergence
Answer:
Convergence occurs when there is a net horizontal inflow of air into a surface region. The accumulated mass of air near the surface leads to up motion.
Meteorology:
Divergence
Answer:
Divergence occurs when there is a net horizontal outflow of air at the surface (termed horizontal divergence). The deficit of air at low levels leads to downward motion.
Meteorology:
Gusts
Answer:
Increases in wind speed lasting for just a few seconds and are indicative of instability and turbulence in the boundary layer.
Meteorology:
Squalls
Answer:
Strong winds that rise suddenly, last for some minutes, and then rapidly die away again.
- an increase of at least 16 knots over the mean wind speed; and
- the wind speed during the time of the squall must be 22 knots or more; and
- the duration must be at least one minute.
