Upper-level Troughs

Upper-Level Troughs is a large-scale atmospheric circulation feature characterized by a southward dip in the westerly flow of the upper troposphere, distinguished from other synoptic-scale disturbances by its association with cyclonic vorticity advection and its role in modulating vertical motion and surface cyclogenesis.
