region of low pressure
1Low-pressure area — This depiction of the Hadley cell shows the process which sustains low pressure areas. Diverging winds aloft allow for lower pressure and convergence at the Earth s surface, which leads to upward motion. A low pressure area, or low , is a region… …
2Low pressure area — A low pressure area, or low , is a region where the atmospheric pressure is lower in relation to the surrounding area. Tropical storms, extratropical cyclones, subpolar cyclones, and subarctic cyclones are called low pressure cells.Lows are… …

4pressure gauge — 1. an instrument for measuring the pressure of a gas or liquid. 2. an instrument used to determine the pressure in the bore or chamber of a gun when the charge explodes. [1860 65] * * * Instrument for measuring the condition of a fluid (liquid or …
5Low — may refer to:*Low (complexity), a relationship between complexity classes in computational complexity theory *Low Island (disambiguation) *Low pressure area, a region where the atmospheric pressure is lowest with relation to the surrounding area… …
6Pressure measurement — The construction of a bourdon tube gauge, construction elements are made of brass Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum gauges. A… …
7Pressure-gradient force — The pressure gradient force is not actually a force but the acceleration of air due to pressure difference (a force per unit mass). It is usually responsible for accelerating a parcel of air from a high atmospheric pressure region to a low… …
8Pressure system — A pressure system is a region of the Earth s atmosphere where air pressure is unusually high or low. High and low pressures develop (and dissipate) constantly due to thermodynamic interactions of temperature differentials in the atmosphere and… …
9Pressure suit — A pressure suit is a protective suit worn by high altitude pilots who may fly at altitudes where the air pressure is too low for an unprotected person to survive, even breathing pure oxygen at positive pressure. Such suits may be either full… …
10low/depression — A region of relatively low pressure depicted by more or less circular and concentric isobars surrounding the center where the pressure is the lowest. The size of the low circulation may be as few as tens of yards (meters) as in a tornado, or it… …
