anticyclone movie

Time evolution of a deep anticyclone and a steep meander crest. Observe:

  • The alignment of center of the deep anticyclone with the meander crest center

  • The cyclone associated with the trailing meander trough

    The rapid eastward propagation through the region (in contrast to the cyclone/steep trough event).
