    The term atmospheric front is understood as transition zone where adjacent air masses with different characteristics meet. Fronts are formed when warm and cold air masses collide. They can stretch for tens of kilometers.

    Air masses and atmospheric fronts

    The circulation of the atmosphere occurs due to the formation of various air currents. Air masses located in the lower layers of the atmosphere are able to combine with each other. The reason for this is general properties these masses or identical origin.

    Change weather conditions is due to the movement of air masses. Warm temperatures cause warming, and cold temperatures cause cooling.

    There are several types of air masses. They are distinguished by the origin. Such masses are: arctic, polar, tropical and equatorial air masses.

    Atmospheric fronts occur when various air masses collide. Collision areas are called frontal or transitional. These zones instantly appear and also quickly collapse - it all depends on the temperature of the colliding masses.

    The wind generated by such a collision can reach speeds of 200 km/k at an altitude of 10 km from earth's surface. Cyclones and anticyclones are the result of collisions of air masses.

    Warm and cold fronts

    Warm fronts are fronts moving in the direction of cold air. The warm air mass moves along with them.

    When approaching warm fronts there is a decrease in pressure, thickening of clouds and heavy precipitation. After the front has passed, the direction of the wind changes, its speed decreases, the pressure begins to gradually rise, and the precipitation stops.

    A warm front is characterized by the flow of warm air masses onto cold ones, which causes them to cool.

    It is also often accompanied by heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. But when there is not enough moisture in the air, precipitation does not fall.

    Cold fronts are air masses that move and displace warm air. stand out cold front of the first kind and a cold front of the second kind.

    The first genus is characterized by the slow penetration of its air masses under warm air. This process forms clouds both behind the front line and within it.

    The upper part of the frontal surface consists of a uniform cover of stratus clouds. The duration of the formation and decay of a cold front is about 10 hours.

    The second kind are cold fronts moving with high speed. Warm air is instantly displaced by cold air. This leads to the formation of a cumulonimbus region.

    The first signals of the approach of such a front are high clouds, visually resembling lentils. Their education takes place long before his arrival. The cold front is located two hundred kilometers from the place where these clouds appeared.

    The cold front of the 2nd kind in the summer is accompanied by heavy precipitation in the form of rain, hail and squally winds. Such weather can spread for tens of kilometers.

    In winter, a cold front of the 2nd kind causes a snow blizzard, strong winds, and turbulence.

    Atmospheric fronts of Russia

    The climate of Russia is mainly influenced by the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic and the Pacific.

    In summer, Antarctic air masses pass through Russia, affecting the climate of Ciscaucasia.

    The entire territory of Russia is prone to cyclones. Most often they form over the Kara, Barents and Okhotsk Seas.

    Most often in our country there are two fronts - the Arctic and the Polar. They move south or north during different climatic periods.

    The southern part of the Far East is subject to the influence of the tropical front. Abundant precipitation in central Russia is caused by the influence of the polar front, which operates in July.

    Atmosphere("atmos" - steam) - the air shell of the Earth. The atmosphere, according to the nature of temperature change with height, is divided into several spheres

    The radiant energy of the Sun is the source of air movement. Between warm and cold masses there is a difference in temperature and atmospheric air pressure. It creates wind.

    Various concepts are used to indicate the movement of the wind: tornado, storm, hurricane, storm, typhoon, cyclone, etc.

    To systematize them, all over the world use Beaufort scale, which estimates the strength of the wind in points from 0 to 12 (see table).

    Atmospheric fronts and atmospheric vortices give rise to formidable natural phenomena, the classification of which is shown in fig. 1.9.

    Rice. 1.9. Natural hazards of a meteorological nature.

    In table. 1.15 shows the characteristics of atmospheric vortices.

    Cyclone(hurricane) - (Greek whirling) - this is a strong atmospheric disturbance, a circular vortex movement of air with a decrease in pressure in the center.

    Depending on the place of origin, cyclones are divided into tropical And extratropical. The central part of the cyclone, which has the lowest pressure, light clouds and light winds, is called "eye of the storm"("eye of the hurricane").

    The speed of the cyclone itself is 40 km/h (rarely up to 100 km/h). Tropical cyclones (typhoons) move faster. And the speed of wind whirlwinds is up to 170 km/h.

    Depending on the speed, there are: - hurricane (115-140 km/h); - strong hurricane (140-170 km/h); - hard hurricane (more than 170 km/h).

    Hurricanes are most prevalent in Far East, in the Kaliningrad and Northwestern regions of the country.

    Harbingers of a hurricane (cyclone): - a decrease in pressure in low latitudes and an increase in high latitudes; - the presence of perturbations of any kind; - changeable winds; - sea swell; - wrong ebbs and flows.

    “... the entire geosphere has been in the grip of this chiral helical vortex field (SVF) for billions of years, which in fact is a power agent of the solar atmosphere with all the complications due to the manifestations of solar activity. The speed of propagation of the helical vortex field (SVP) depends on the density, structure and overcome mass of matter (from 3-1010 cm s-1 in the core of the Sun to (2 ^ 10)-107 cm-s-1 in terrestrial conditions). In the atmosphere of the Sun, the SVP speed with the primary one is the earth's interior, since, for example, the biosphere is located directly above this source. The temperature in the Earth's core is not high enough (~ 6140K) to generate primary vortex quanta (spirons), however, the Earth, constantly irradiated by SSWI streams (104erg-cm-2s-1), continuously receives a stream of solar vortex energy (~ 1.3-1015W ). Observations indicate that the geoid is a resonator with a low quality factor for SSWI, ~ 0.3-1015 W is delayed in it”

    By fractality to the rotation of various geometric shapes

    The most not simple, but promising classification of aether vortices is proposed in David Wilcock's book "The Science of Unity". He believes that all vortices to one degree or another approach various geometric shapes. And these forms do not arise by chance, but according to the laws of volumetric propagation of vibration. From here we can talk about vortices that are fractal to the rotation of various geometric shapes. Geometric shapes can be conditionally combined with each other.

    As a result, such unions and rotations with different angles of inclination to the plane give rise to the following figures. http://www.ligis.ru/librari/670.htm

    At the heart of such figures, as well as at the heart of the vortices that arise during their rotation, are the Harmonic proportions of the Platonic Solids. D. Wilcock referred to such forms:

    This approach is an elegant amalgamation of the basic forms of crystals and vortices. As will be shown later, "there is something in this." http://www. www.16pi2.com/joomla/
