Global mean sea level pressure. Animation of a global map showing mean (average) sea level pressure at some point in October 2016. Unequal heating and cooling over the planet, along with its rotation, creates different pressures across latitudes, longitudes and altitudes. Higher pressures are typically associated with fair weather, while areas of low pressure are associated with storms. Boundaries between high and low pressure are called 'fronts'. This imagery shows the latest outputs of the NOAA Global Forecast System weather model for mean sea level pressure (MSLP). Blue areas are high pressure, while orange/brown areas are low pressure. | |
