That wasn't meant to be mean... I was serious. A lot of budding meteorologists here at UVic.

http://www.komonews.com/weather/faq/4306832.html For our conditions dave has provided a pressure calculator that uses the difference between Tatoosh (Coast) & Smith (Pudget sound) & the predicted rate of change in the next hour ... The difference in pressure x 10 ~ = the wind to be experienced @ Sheringham / Race Rocks ...

this is really quite funny. I went back to the beginning of this thread and was reading it thinking... who is this other "globe" person - must be someone else... a thread copied from a different forum?

I don't remember taking any geo/meteorology classes...

good thing we have these forums to remind us of classes we've taken in the past...

Clearly I learned a lot...

That is SO funny Globe; but then I think "Its my taxes subsidizing your university" - and this is for a course you should actually be excited about??? (wind and weather being a big part of your life). Of course I had looked over my first year transcripts a while ago and had the same reaction - "I took that???" But its been a bit longer for me.

BAROCLINIC ZONE - A region where there is a large horizontal change in temperature, humidity, and or pressure, such as across a frontal zone. Baroclinic zones often form along regions of large temperature and humidity change and may precede the formation of a frontal system if those differences become sharper. The opposite of BAROCLINIC is BAROTROPHIC, where there is very little or no temperature variations across the horizontal distance. http://www.sky-chaser.com/schpri.htm

Here is a thought if your trying to figure out http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/images/sew/gafd ... 0pic11.gif Think of the low pressure (bulls eye ?) as the base of a picture of a hurricane http://celebrating200years.noaa.gov/his ... ily650.jpg ... Weather for hundreds of miles around is influenced as air from high pressure areas roars in to try to equalize pressure .Visualize wind moving perpendicular to the isobar rings from high to low & consider that geography will influence this process ... Multiple lows in an area make things a little more confusing ... On the next weather map lows are indicated by 'X' & the direction of the low by an arrow: http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/P_24hrbw.gif
