Tropical Meteorology

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

2 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Tropical Meteorology.

  • Atlantic hurricane season — The annually recurring North Atlantic interval conventionally designated June 1 through November 30 because tropical-cyclone formation is climatologically concentrated there, without excluding off-season storms.
  • Walker Circulation — The thermally organized east–west tropical atmospheric overturning in which low-level flow converges toward warm convective ascent, returns aloft, and subsides over cooler regions, while coupling to tropical ocean temperature and thermocline gradients.
