Question

Baroclinic instability states that a midlatitude weather system that tilts westward with height will _______________ over time while a system that tilts eastward will _______________ with height. Explain you answer using text and illustrations.

Answer 1

Baroclinic instability states that a midlatitude weather system that tilts westward with height will allows the surface cyclone to remain in the area of strong CVA while strong CAA remains underneath the 500 hpa throught this process in which upper and lower tropospheric systems act to strengthen each other and over time while a system that tilts eastward will move more quickly than their lower tropospheric counterparts two systems are vertically stacked at this point the lower tropospheric cyclone is not in a region of CVA and will no longer intensify with height
