The formation of baric depressions near the Alps

The formation of baric depressions near the Alps

Available knowledge about the formation of baric lows
 near the Alps is critically reviewed. Emphasis is laid on problems that
 require further investigation. A distinction between the process of formation
 of local depressions in the baric field and real cyclogenesis (genera...

 near the Alps is critically reviewed. Emphasis is laid on problems that
 require further investigation. A distinction between the process of formation
 of local depressions in the baric field and real cyclogenesis (generation of
 cyclonic vorticity) in the lee of the Alps is suggested on the basis of theoretical
 considerations about the role of inertial effects in rotating flows past obstacles.
 Finally, the general importance of the problem of secondary flows
 in the interaction with obstacles is emphasized.http://www.annalsofgeophysics.eu/index.php/annals/article/view/4898
