vorticity — is a measure of rotation in the atmosphere, or “spin,” in the air. If the spin, as viewed from above, is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, it is called a vorticity cyclonic and given a positive value. If the spin is clockwise, it is… … Aviation dictionary
Positive vorticity advection — Positive vorticity advection, or PVA, is the result of higher values of vorticity advecting into lower values of vorticity. DevelopmentVorticity in the atmosphere is created in three different ways, which are named in their resultant vorticity.… … Wikipedia
Shortwave (meteorology) — A shortwave or shortwave trough is an embedded kink in the trough/ridge pattern. This is the opposite of longwaves, which are responsible for synoptic scale systems. Shortwaves are most frequently caused by either a cold pool or an upper level… … Wikipedia
