Numerical model based on an hypothetical barotropic atmosphere. This model takes no account of vertical wind shears and horizontal temperature gradients; therefore, the growth of disturbances through conversion of potential to kinetic energy cannot be predicted. It yields a prediction at only one level(generally 500 hPa). 2, record 1, English, - barotropic%20model

Modèle numérique basé sur une atmosphère barotrope hypothétique.

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Plants with limbs that grow down, instead of up, can be spectacular. Horticulturally, the reason for this growth habit is a genetic mutation. Most plants have a central growth point that remains dominant, and the trunk and limbs grow vertically. In the weeping tree category, this growth control is interrupted. The new layer of growth is somehow superimposed over the previous layer, and is more horizontal than vertical. This growth pattern is known as plagiotropism. 1, record 2, English, - weeping%20tree
