This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Stationary Fronts, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region can give rise to Stable weather, Severe weather forms Offshore with land breeze, Little movement (less than 5 knots) in direction Perpendicular to front, Positive vorticity coming eastward from the Texas coast leads to the formation of Closed low pressure center, Little movement (less than 5 knots) hence are really Quasi-stationary fronts, Quasi-stationary fronts have Perturbations (short wave troughs) at 500 - 700 millibars, Perturbations (short wave troughs) at 500 - 700 millibars can interact with Positive vorticity coming eastward from the Texas coast, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region more likely to occur in Summer, Stable weather including Fog, Little movement (less than 5 knots) of Continental Polar air mass and Modified Tropical air mass, Air masses that are poorly defined i.e., Continental Polar air mass and Modified Tropical air mass, Modification of air masses i.e., Continental Polar air mass and Modified Tropical air mass, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region can give rise to Lifting mechanism, Fog can influence Ceiling and visibility, Last 4-5 days because they have Little movement (less than 5 knots), Trailing (western) end of a cold front associated with Modification of air masses, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region typically involve Clear to partly cloudy weather, Continuous precipitation ("showers") can influence Ceiling and visibility, Perturbations (short wave troughs) at 500 - 700 millibars can spawn Surface waves, Stationary Fronts in the Gulf Coast Region defined as having Little movement (less than 5 knots)
