What kinds of weather systems are there?

An atmospheric motion system with typical characteristics divided according to the spatial distribution of meteorological elements (usually a system composed of the spatial distribution of air pressure), such as high (atmospheric) pressure, low (atmospheric) pressure, high pressure ridge, Low pressure tank, etc. Sometimes refers to the system of wind distribution, such as cyclonic circulation, anticyclonic circulation, shear line, etc. Sometimes it refers to the system of temperature distribution, such as high temperature area, low temperature area, front area, etc. Sometimes refers to the system of distribution of weather phenomena, such as thunderstorms, tropical clouds, etc. There is often a certain configuration relationship between this element system and another element system. There is a good relationship between the pressure system and the wind field: the configuration of low pressure and cyclonic circulation is sometimes called low pressure, sometimes called cyclone; the configuration of high pressure and anticyclone is sometimes called high pressure and sometimes called anticyclone. The air pressure system and the temperature system also often have a certain configuration relationship. For example: the phase configuration of low pressure and low temperature zones is called cold low pressure or cold vortex; the phase configuration of low pressure and high temperature zones is called hot low pressure. The air pressure system can also have a certain configuration relationship with weather phenomena, such as the configuration of thunderstorms and (small) high pressure, which is called thunderstorm high pressure. Weather systems can be analyzed through various analysis tools such as weather maps and satellite cloud images.

Various weather systems have a certain spatial range and a certain process of rebirth, change and death. Different stages of the development of various weather systems have their corresponding distribution of weather phenomena. In weather forecasting, weather changes in the future can be roughly predicted by forecasting various systems. The combination of many weather systems forms a large-scale weather situation and constitutes hemispheric or even global atmospheric circulation.
