A Modeling Study of the Initial Formation of Polar Lows in the Vicinity of the Arctic Front

Figure 2

The same as in Figure 1, but obtained for the second case when, at the initial moment, the modules of the zonal wind velocities at more northern latitudes relatively to the centerline of the arctic front are less than those at more southern latitudes relatively to it. The degree of shadowing of the figures indicates the module of the velocity in m/s.
