Surface winds in the Northern Hemisphere flow across isobars towards low pressure due to friction, which reduces the Coriolis force and causes the wind to spiral inward toward the low-pressure center.
Explanation:
The Indian Ocean Dipole involves changes in sea surface temperatures and wind patterns across the Indian Ocean, leading to reversals in surface winds and currents during positive and negative phases.
Explanation:
Cold fronts are characterized by a steep temperature gradient (rapid temperature drop), strong winds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms, and they move faster than warm fronts.
Explanation:
The troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with altitude (normal lapse rate) due to adiabatic cooling, and it contains most of the weather phenomena.
