The FASTEX cases

JavaScript fast nav Menu:

Subjective classification of the FASTEX cases

The following table can be employed in one of two ways:

looking for some kind of weather feature or type of cyclone ? use columns to see which cases have this feature or seems close to this type.
wanting to know how we qualify the various cases ? use lines to see what we think of each case.

Comma cloud- like feature Second generation wave Rapid development stage Clear stage of baroclinic interaction Suppressed waves (stable front)

Symbol · (you should see a large, filled, dot) means "yes" or "present"

An entry in column 2 means that the system started as a second generation wave. It gives an idea of its environment, ``front'' being obvious, ``jet'' meaning presence of a jet-streak or entrance, ``tempo'' meaning that waves existed temporarily or, in the case of IOP19, temporarily hindered.
