A dry line (also called a dew point line, or Marfa front, after Marfa, Texas) [1] is a line across a continent that separates moist air and dry air. One of the most prominent examples of such a separation occurs in central North America , especially Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, where the moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets dry air from the ...
The dry line normally moves eastward during the day and westward at night. A dry line is depicted on National Weather Service (NWS) surface analyses as an orange line with scallops facing into the moist sector. Dry lines are one of the few surface fronts where the pips indicated do not necessarily reflect the direction of motion. [18]
The dry line is the boundary between dry and moist air masses east of mountain ranges with similar orientation to the Rockies, depicted at the leading edge of the dew point, or moisture, gradient. Near the surface, warm moist air that is denser than warmer, dryer air wedges under the drier air in a manner similar to that of a cold front wedging ...
Timelapse satellite imagery released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on May 6 shows what the NOAA said was a “rolling dry line” that produced severe thunderstorms ...
Outflow boundary on radar with radial velocity and frontal boundary drawn in.. An outflow boundary, also known as a gust front, is a storm-scale or mesoscale boundary separating thunderstorm-cooled air from the surrounding air; similar in effect to a cold front, with passage marked by a wind shift and usually a drop in temperature and a related pressure jump.

The livelihoods of millions of people in developing countries depend highly on dryland biodiversity to ensure their food security and their well-being. Drylands, unlike more humid biomes, rely mostly on above ground water runoff for redistribution of water, and almost all their water redistribution occurs on the surface. [4]
