Diagnosing Vorticity and Divergence in the Atmosphere
Abstract
This media helps students reinforce the concepts of geostrophic balance, divergence, and vorticity. It helps them draw a mental picture that will assist them in diagnosing vorticity and divergence in the real atmosphere.

(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-06);Submesoscale turbulence in the nearshore is observed with purpose-built drifters to perform Lagrangian measurements of the vorticity and divergence of flows with length scales under 300 meters and on-time scales of a few ... -
The effect of 300 mb divergence on surface cyclogenesis
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-12);Quantitative predictions of surface extratropical cyclone development are correlated to the degree of upper-level forcing from 500 mb vorticity advection and 300 mb divergence. Although it is difficult to obtain an accurate ... -
