 | | Early in the 20th century, theoretical studies of atmospheric phenomenausually were performed analytically, that is by taking the fluid-dynamical equations that govern atmospheric flow, simplifyingthem by neglecting lesser terms, and looking for solutions to these equations. |
 | | For example, Vilhelm Bjerknes developed the model that explains the generation, intensification and ultimatedecay (the life cycle) of midlatitude cyclones, introducing the idea of fronts,that is, sharply defined boundaries between air masses. |
 | | Lidar can be used to study clouds that are so thin that they cannot be seen by the naked eye such ascertain types of cirrus filaments. |
