An operational forecaster locates regions of upper level divergence by locating the divergence sector of a vorticity gradient near the LND(Level of Non-divergence). The LND is closest to the mandatory level of 500 mb, thus upper level vorticity is usually plotted on this prog. The LND is the general level that separates the low levels of the troposphere from the upper levels. Vorticity advection is best assessed near the LND. 2, record 2, English, - level%20of%20non%2Ddivergence
