Tracking Clouds Through Meteorology
Categories: Planetary Science
This historical weather map illustrates cloud coverage patterns and the dynamics of atmospheric pressure systems. Areas of low pressure (L) are associated with dense overcast conditions, while high-pressure zones (H) bring clearer skies or scattered cloud formations. The map also highlights different cloud types, such as thin high stratus, large cumulus, and rows of cumulus clouds, along with frontal boundaries. Studying these maps helps meteorologists understand the movement of weather systems and predict changes in climate conditions across regions.
