Difference between Polar vortex and Rossby wave

Polar vortex vs. Rossby wave

A polar vortex is an upper level low-pressure area lying near the Earth's poles. Rossby waves, also known as planetary waves, are a natural phenomenon in the atmospheres and oceans of planets that largely owe their properties to rotation of the planet.

Similarities between Polar vortex and Rossby wave

Polar vortex and Rossby wave have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Coriolis force, Cyclone, European Environment Agency, Jet stream, Jupiter, Meander, Potential vorticity, Stratosphere, Sudden stratospheric warming, Synoptic scale meteorology, Troposphere.

Coriolis force

In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame.

Cyclone

In meteorology, a cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure.

European Environment Agency

The European Environment Agency (EEA) is the agency of the European Union (EU) that provides independent information on the environment, thereby helping those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, as well as informing the general public.

Jet stream

Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow, meandering air currents in the atmospheres of some planets, including Earth.

Meander

A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops, turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourse.

Potential vorticity

Potential vorticity (PV) is seen as one of the important theoretical successes of modern meteorology.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere is the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere, just above the troposphere, and below the mesosphere.

Sudden stratospheric warming

A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) is an event in which the observed stratospheric temperature rises by several tens of kelvins (up to about 50 °C (90 °F)), over the course of a few days.

Synoptic scale meteorology

The synoptic scale in meteorology (also known as large scale or cyclonic scale) is a horizontal length scale of the order of 1000 kilometers (about 620 miles) or more.

Troposphere

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, and is also where nearly all weather conditions take place.

Polar vortex and Rossby wave Comparison

Polar vortex has 68 relations, while Rossby wave has 83. As they have in common 11, the Jaccard index is 7.28% = 11 / (68 + 83).
