barotropic system
barotropic system
A weather system in which the temperature is uniform and pressure surfaces are coincident—i.e., without a gradient on a constant pressure surface.
Barotropic systems are generally unfavourable areas for severe thunderstorms. In meteorologic parlance, barotropic systems usually refer to equivalent barotropic systems.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc. All rights reserved.
