A movement of air within the atmosphere that can influence weather patterns and flight dynamics.
The flow of air that occurs due to changes in temperature and pressure, often resulting in various wind types.
A specific path or pattern of air movement, such as rising or descending currents, that plays a crucial role in meteorology and aviation.
The dynamic behavior of air as it circulates through the environment, affecting everything from climate systems to everyday breezes.
Example:
ただ今気流の関係で揺れております。
A movement of air that rises due to surface heating or changes in weather fronts, often responsible for the formation of clouds and precipitation.
A phenomenon indicating an upward trend, often used metaphorically to describe situations where circumstances improve or fortunes change positively.
A disturbance in the airflow that can occur due to factors such as uneven heating of the ground, often leading to unpredictable movement of air currents, particularly in mountainous regions.
A strong disruption in the atmosphere that significantly affects the flight of aircraft, commonly found near cumulonimbus clouds, cold fronts, or around jet streams and the windward sides of high mountains.
Example:
乱気流のために飛 行機が揺れた。
A powerful, narrow band of wind that flows from west to east in the upper levels of the atmosphere, typically around 10,000 meters above sea level, influencing weather patterns and climate.
A strong current of air located near the boundary of the troposphere, characterized by significant changes in wind speed both horizontally and vertically, often associated with frontal systems and varying in stability.
A primary jet stream that plays a crucial role in the movement of weather systems, marked by abrupt fluctuations in its path, particularly in colder regions compared to a more stable subtropical jet stream.
