  2. Trough (meteorology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trough_(meteorology)

    A trough is an elongated region of relatively low atmospheric pressure without a closed isobaric contour that would define it as a low pressure area. Since low pressure implies a low height on a pressure surface, troughs and ridges refer to features in an identical sense as those on a topographic map. Troughs may be at the surface, or aloft, at ...

  3. Ridge (meteorology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridge_(meteorology)

    Ridge line extending to the left of the high pressure center (H). In meteorology a ridge or barometric ridge is an elongated area of relatively high atmospheric pressure compared to the surrounding environment, without being a closed circulation. [1] It is associated with an area of maximum anticyclonic curvature of wind flow.

  4. Flushing trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flushing_trough

    The flushing trough was developed by Adamsez Limited and a patent was issued to MJ Adams in 1912 for a flushing trough that used the bell siphon flushing system. [1] A further patent was issued in 1928 to AH Adams for a flushing trough that used the plate siphon mechanism, [2] marketed as the 'Epic'. Advertisements by Adamsez stated that 25,000 ...

  5. Col (meteorology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col_(meteorology)

    A col, also called saddle point or neutral point, is in meteorology, the point of intersection of a trough and a ridge in the pressure pattern of a weather map. It takes the form of a saddle where the air pressure is relatively higher than that of the low-pressure regions, but lower than that of the anticyclonic zones. [1]

    Trough (geology), a long depression less steep than a trench; Trough (meteorology), an elongated region of low atmospheric pressure; Trough (physics), the lowest point on a wave; Trough level (medicine), the lowest concentration of a medicine is present in the body over time; Langmuir-Blodgett trough, a laboratory instrument

  7. Shortwave (meteorology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortwave_(meteorology)

    Shortwave trough with associated vorticity. A shortwave or shortwave trough is an embedded kink in the trough / ridge pattern. Its length scale is much smaller than that of and is embedded within longwaves, which are responsible for the largest scale (synoptic scale) weather systems.
