Divergence signature
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005085
A pattern observed in meteorological data, such as radar or satellite imagery, indicating areas where air is spreading out horizontally. This signature often appears as an outflow pattern in Doppler radar velocity data, suggesting upward vertical motion and potential for convection. It is a key indicator for identifying developing thunderstorms or upper-level outflow.
