DIFLUENCIA [3 records]

Record 1 2003-07-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
DEF

Progressive drawing apart of the streamlines in the direction of flow.

OBS

Difluence in an upper level wind field is considered a favorable condition for severe thunderstorm development (if other parameters are also favorable). But difluence is not the same as divergence. In a difluent flow, winds normally decelerate as they move through the region of difluence, resulting in speed convergence which offsets the apparent diverging effect of the difluent flow.
