Tule fog is a very thick fog that collects in parts of California during the rainy season of the late fall and winter. It has also been known to gather from Bakersfield to chico and occasionally in San Francisco. Tule fog is a type of radiation fog that is created due to the rising of warm air. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-tule-fog.htm The cold mountain air descends into the San Joaquin Valley and usually forms Tule fog on the first or second clear night after it has rained, skies are cleared and winds are light. This happens when high-pressure returns, creating an inversion with colder air near the earth's surface than aloft.
This happens when the normal winds weaken which allows the warm water that is usually found in the western Pacific change direction and instead move towards the east. This warm water replaces the cold water which is normally found near the surface of the eastern Pacific. All these occurrences are what affects a lot of weather patterns in many parts of the
Due to this convergence (where winds move to a center point), air is forced to rise over that area. If enough moisture is available, the rising air cools and condenses (as cold air cannot hold water vapor below a certain temperature) into tiny water droplets which constitute the cloud. So, low pressure areas are usually the birth-place of clouds. Sometimes, particularly in the winter, fog forms over a high pressure area due to radiation cooling(due to clear sky conditions over a high pressure area).This fog sometimes lift and forms thick low cloud called "anticyclone gloom".

Canada has very cold, bitter winters some parts of Canada are steppe. The U.S. and Canada are some what the same in Alaska most of the state is tundra like half the country in Canada. Also the US and Canada are mostly humid continental and our highlands like in the U.S. the Rockies and Appalachians and for Canada there Rockies and laurnatan highlands are cool or cold year around. The US and Canada have almost the same climate in parts of each country but also very different in some parts as
The associated air masses of storms within the British Isles are Polar maritime and Tropical maritime. As these two bodies of air move towards each other the warmer, less dense air from the south rises above the colder, dense air from the north. Circulations of low pressure then develop at points where the air is rising vigorously, this then coincides with waves in the polar front and jet stream. As a consequence there is much unsettled weather including heavy rain, strong winds and a variety of stormy cumulus clouds form; all of which can have devastating impacts socio-economically for an area as well as on the environment. The storm of 1987 occurred on the 15th and 16th of October due to a depression forming within the Bay of Biscay and had disastrous effects on the south and south-east of the UK.
The areas between the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer or equatorial belt. (d) What explains this small annual temperature range? Small variance in
This extreme pressure change makes the iso bars compact together creating fast moving winds and causing wind speeds to increase to even out the air pressure. 3. Describe the changes in central pressure and sustained wind speed between 29 and 30 August 2005? The air pressure from august 29th to august 30th changed from 904mbars to 985 mbars. While the air pressure increased the winds decrease as iso bars spread apart and wind is no longer moving at an abrupt pace.
This can make drivers stressed and the condtions make it dangrous. Summer driving is less stressful and overall safer. For some, driving in the winter is as easy as driving in the summer but, for others winter driving is terrifying. If you happen to live far north like i do, where the average snowfall is more than 200 inches a year, driving in the snow is normal. However for someone that has moved from a location that never gets snow to a location that gets large amounts, it can be difficult.
Hurricanes Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones, are low pressure storm systems that form on open water and feed on heat released when moist air rises. Hurricanes are recognized on radar by their distinct pin wheel shape. When hurricanes begin to take shape they are called a tropical storm. The word “tropical” is used because most of these storms are formed by the very warm water of the tropics. Hurricanes need the ocean’s water temperature to be about 80 degrees to a depth of about 150 feet.
Both (Example:) Both Vancouver and Halifax have rain in the spring. Also (Example:) Halifax also has a rainy spring season. Too (Example:) Halifax has a rainy spring season, too. as well (Example:) As well, Halifax has a very rainy spring season. Differences on the other hand (Example:) On the other hand, winter is much colder in Halifax.
