A Modeling Study of the Initial Formation of Polar Lows in the Vicinity of the Arctic Front
Figure 1
The distributions of horizontal component of the air velocity at the altitude of 600 m, assigned at the initial moment (a), computed 20 hours after the beginning of calculations (b) and computed 40 hours after the beginning of calculations (c). The results are obtained for the first initial configuration of the arctic front, with the fields of the module of the horizontal velocity being approximately symmetric relatively to the centerline of the arctic front. The degree of shadowing of the figures indicates the module of the velocity in m/s.
