Couldn't this be combined into cyclone? –radiojon 18:33, 2004 Jul 14 (UTC)

  • Most emphatically, NO. The other way around, perhaps, but weather announcers do not refer to cyclones, they refer to LOWS. This article should be titled so as to be as accessible to as many people as possible. The lingua franca must rule. Denni☯ 00:55, 2004 Jul 18 (UTC)
  • I have to agree. The term 'cyclone', by itself, implies a synoptic-scale system. The term 'low' may be used with macro/meso/micro scale features. Roodog2k 18:32, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Borrasca

The Spanish word borrasca really doesn't belong in this article. It refers to a strong storm from off the sea---high winds, heavy rains. It does not refer to any other type of low pressure system. It's too specific. Tmangray 04:17, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move

I strongly suggest this page be moved to low pressure area. My justification is that I think it's generally nicer to have a title not including a parenthesized subject, because it might actually be linked "accidentally". I'll take care of this when I get home if there is no dissent. Deco 20:18, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And it was so. Deco 07:07, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] adiabatic cooling

Does this make any sense? If so, could it be explained please? Doesn't adiabatic mean 'without temperature change'? Or does it mean without heat transfer? From adiabatic I thought it was the former.

[edit] Little Bit Confused

The main article says low pressure areas are filled in by neighboring high pressure areas, and the coriolis effect makes it turn into a spiral, as is consistent with observation, I was wondering if it is right that the higher pressure flows faster at a lower elevation or a higher elevation? Generally speaking, I mean. Can someone fix the main article so that it states which parts of the low pressure area are filled in first? I was guessing that it is the atmosphere in the lowest elevations above sea level that have the greatest amount of force to them, and that is where the "filling in" can be predicted first.

[edit] "upper level" vs. "mid level" vs. "what level?"

I've been wondering: What's "upper level" about an upper level low? Perhaps that could be addressed in the article?69.228.203.211 03:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions, Questions, Questions!

I am doing a project on severe weather conditions and I was curious what insturments do you use to measure a typhoon, hurricane, tornado, sandstorms, and lighting storms? I need to know the specific name because my teacher wants pictures of them and a reason why they connect with the weather category and how it involves math.

[edit] No references!

This article won't progress from start class without inline references. At the very least, it will make the article more factually accurate. Thegreatdr 20:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] cleanup

I think that this article needs expanding as well as referances. When I am done with my current article project i will move on to this. Juliancolton 22:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
