What is the name of the phenomenon where there is a large-scale pattern of sea level pressure differences between the Aleutian Islands and the Pacific Northwest?
Explanation:
The Pacific-North American (PNA) pattern is a climate pattern characterized by sea level pressure differences between the Aleutian Islands (Aleutian Low) and the Pacific Northwest, influencing the weather in North America.
Explanation:
A temperature inversion is a reversal of the normal temperature gradient in the troposphere, where temperature increases with altitude instead of decreasing. This traps pollutants and can cause fog and smog.
Explanation:
Highland climates (or alpine climates) are characterized by large temperature variations with altitude, with cooler temperatures at higher elevations. Precipitation patterns also vary significantly with elevation.
