Convergence Cloudiness - Key Parameters
by ZAMG
- Convergence, especially in low levels
- Confluent wind vectors, confluence more pronounced than convergence
- Wind vectors: in lower and middle levels different wind regime between Occlusion and Convergence Cloudiness; at higher levels, no noticeable difference
- Often within weak WA
- TFP shows small, but positive values
- Cloud bands connected to the Occlusion tend to be located within a thickness ridge which is less pronounced than with standard Occlusions
