Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS®) |Updated:||2 times per
day, from 10:00 and 23:00 GMT| |Greenwich Mean Time:||12:00 GMT
= 12:00 GMT| |Resolution:||0.2° x 0.2°| |Parameter:||Sea Level
Pressure in hPa| |Description:||The surface chart (also known as
surface synoptic chart) presents the distribution of the
atmospheric pressure observed at any given station on the
earth's surface reduced to sea level. You can read the positions
of the controlling weather features (highs, lows, ridges or
troughs) from the distribution of the isobars (lines of equal
sea level pressure). The isobars define the pressure field. The
pressure field is the dominating player in the weather system.
Additionally, this map helps you to identify synoptic-scale
waves and gives you a first estimate on meso-scale fronts.|
