  2. Thermal low - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_low

    That, combined with the rise of the hot air, results in a low pressure area called a thermal low. [1] Over elevated surfaces, heating of the ground exceeds the heating of the surrounding air at the same altitude above sea level , which creates an associated heat low over the terrain, and enhances any thermal lows which would have otherwise existed.

  3. Low-pressure area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pressure_area

    In meteorology, a low-pressure area, low area or low is a region where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of surrounding locations. Low-pressure areas are commonly associated with inclement weather (such as cloudy, windy, with possible rain or storms), [ 1 ] while high-pressure areas are associated with lighter winds and clear skies. [ 2 ]

  4. Tibetan Plateau - Wikipedia

    Once they vanish, water supplies in those regions will be in peril. [45] The Tibetan Plateau contains the largest area of low-latitude glaciers and is particularly vulnerable to global warming. Over the past five decades, 80% of the glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau have retreated, losing 4.5% of their combined areal coverage.

  5. Geography of Tibet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Tibet

    At that time the most essential heating surface of the atmosphere – which at present, i.e. interglacially, is the Tibetan plateau – was the most important cooling surface. [17] The annual low-pressure area induced by heat above Tibet as a motor of the summer monsoon was lacking. The glaciation thus caused a breaking-off of the summer ...

  6. Pressure system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_system

    A low-pressure area is a region where the atmospheric pressure at sea level is below that of surrounding locations. Low-pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence that occur in the upper levels of the troposphere. [1] The formation process of a low-pressure area is known as cyclogenesis. [2]

    This is different from the dryer-type heating, which is a dry heat — the difference is more like a light steam at the end of a dryer cycle. Added bonus for the ability to add essential oils!"

  8. Asiatic Low - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_low

    The Asiatic Low is a low-pressure trough which lies over southern Asia, during early summer. It is located roughly over India , heading over the Bay of Bengal . It is a major action centre for the Northern Hemisphere during that time of the year.
