Weather of Arabia _ Weather terms include a large number of vocabulary and each of its importance, and we find the most common words used in the terms air and low air What is their definition, and what is the difference between them?

 

What is the air altitude?

It is a part of the air above a certain area of the earth that is characterized by a higher pressure than the air pressure in the surrounding areas and it is a closed area with equal pressure lines where the largest value of air pressure is in the center and decreases as we move away from the center, and the direction of the wind is in it with the clock in the hemisphere The northern hemisphere and vice versa in the southern hemisphere. Usually the weather accompanying the high weather is clear, but sometimes some clouds appear without precipitation.

And the temperature depends on the location to be predicted, but it does not necessarily lead to higher temperatures, the important thing is where the source and the path of the winds blow, and in the end it is high pressure values and not a rise in temperature and is scientifically symbolized by the letter H.

 

High altitude characteristics:

  • The presence of air currents downward where the air is heated
  • It is clear sunny
  • Atmospheric pressure values increase as we head toward the center of the elevation
  • The altitude is the zone of wind distribution, as it moves from the center to all directions

 

The difference between low depression and atmospheric instability

 

What is the depression?

It is a part of the air above a certain area of the earth that is characterized by less pressure than the air pressure in the surrounding areas, and it is a closed area with equal pressure lines where the lowest value of air pressure is in the center and increases as we move away from the center.

The wind direction around the depression is anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Usually the weather accompanying the low air is the appearance of clouds and the occurrence of precipitation in its various forms, and depends on the time period and the source of the air mass accompanying it and its path, and heat depends on the air mass accompanying it. Reduced temperatures.

 

 

Atmospheric low properties:

  • The presence of air currents upward, it is accompanied by the formation of clouds and rain
  • Atmospheric pressure values decrease toward the center of the depression
  • The depression has the feature of collecting wind as the wind blows from all directions towards the center of the depression

 

What is the difference between the depression and the altitude?

  • High or low air
  • Determining the air condition in a region, for example in order for clouds and rain to form, the air needs to rise to the top to cool and condense, clouds form and rain or snow falls, and this happens in areas with low pressure , where the air rises, unlike the high pressure; the air falls down and often What is accompanied by stability in the air. As a result, you will find clouds and precipitation near the low pressure centers while settling near the high pressure centers.
