Cyclone

Examine how weather conditions change at various cities when cyclones track near them The Cyclone application allows students to dynamically view two common cyclone tracks and observe how weather conditions change at various locations along the track. Track #1: Colorado Low Cyclone starts in Colorado as open wave; takes typical track through N. Texas and along the western side of the Appalachian Mts. Fronts progress around the low with the system becoming occluded in Ohio. Data (Temperature, Dew Point Temperature) for Nashville, TN are plotted on a meteogram to the right of the map. Track #2: Alberta Clipper Cyclone starts as open wave along the British Columbia/Alberta border; track follows US/Canadian border. Fronts progress around the low with the system occluding near Toronto. Data (Temperature, Dew Point Temperature) for Chicago, IL are plotted to the right of the map. The primary goal of the Cyclone program is to provide students with a tool that lets them see a cyclone progress across the United States and to observe how fronts migrate around the low and create various weather changes at locations near the cyclone. Take Cyclone for a spin to see how useful it can be in studying cyclone movement and their impact on weather conditions! Requirements: · Java
