  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. Gulf low - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Low

    A Gulf low or Texas Low is a low pressure area that forms or intensifies over the Gulf of Mexico and moves northeast on the western side of the Appalachian Mountains and sometimes on the Atlantic coast to become a nor'easter. Because they move from over or near the Gulf of Mexico, these storm systems are capable of transporting copious amounts ...

    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]

    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 ...

  8. 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.
