The transition between top down view to the section of passing fronts was an eye opener for me, as I did not really see the connection. @@ardent-training
It is a relatively warm pocket of air compared to the rest of the air in the system. The rest of the system might contain 'warm' air, but this is only relative to a high pressure system. And the warm pocket of air in the low, is just a bit warmer than the rest.
Thanks for this. A question, in the low pressure system will you get any hot sunny days or is that strictly for high pressure systems? Also in low pressure as the cold front passes and the barometer climbs is that now becoming a high pressure system or not necessarily. Thanks
Good questions. 1) Yes you can get hot sunny days in a low pressure system. Especially over dry land where the rising air is dry enough not to create clouds. There are so many variables with weather that almost anything is possible, but here we are focusing on maritime weather. 2) We are not necessarily returning to a high pressure system as the cold front passes, but just leaving an area of slightly lower pressure. Hope that helps!
@@ardent-training thanks for the reply. New ly qualified Day Skipper (boatless!) and so just started learning really.. dinghy sailer so handling, navigation, tides etc. all pretty much ok... weather forecasting still a black art practiced by wizards and fortune tellers!!
