“Frontogenetical Circulations and Stability” is a Webcast by Dr. James T. Moore that focuses on an overview of different stability types, including convective, potential, inertial, conditional and symmetric, the concept of frontogenesis and associated circulations. The webcast concludes with a discussion of the role of stability in determining the character of frontogenetical circulations.
Understand various types of stability, including convective, potential, inertial, conditional and symmetric, and recognize when they might occur for a given forecast situation.
Understand the concept of frontogenesis/frontolysis and associated circulations that result.
Recognize the impact of stability on the character of frontal circulations.
