Suggested Uses
Some examples of how this atlas could be used for both educational and research purposes include:
Providing quantitative values for atmospheric variables associated with 'typical' cyclones, e.g. frontal temperature gradients, jet streak wind speeds, ascent and descent rates.
Introducing students to the concept of system relative winds.
Teaching students about flow along isentropic surfaces.
Teaching students how to position surface fronts.
Comparison of average fields with case study analysis.
