Análise da estrutura vertical de ciclones extratropicais na América do Sul: Estudos de casos

Abstract

Extratropical cyclones (EC) are low pressure surface systems that occur in mid latitudes (ML), acting throughout the year. In South America (SA) systems such as Chaco Low and Northwestern Argentinean Low, in addition to the meridional temperature gradients and jet streams, contribute to the southern part of the continent being a region preferably cyclogenetic. This work analyzes through the vertical structure the life cycle of eight EC formed from February 2013 to September 2014.
