  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Monsoon of South Asia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsoon_of_South_Asia

    As the Tibetan Plateau heats up, the low pressure created over it pulls the westerly jet north. Because of the lofty Himalayas, the westerly jet's movement is inhibited. But with continuous dropping pressure, sufficient force is created for the movement of the westerly jet across the Himalayas after a significant period.

  5. 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]

    The National Hurricane Center continues to keep its eye on a low pressure area located off the Texas coast. In its 2 p.m. Sunday tropical update, the NHC said that a large area of showers and ...

  7. 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.
