Hovmöller diagram
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006285
A graphical representation showing the propagation of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena over time. The diagram plots a meteorological variable, such as geopotential height or sea surface temperature, along a spatial dimension (longitude or latitude) on one axis and time on the other. The magnitude of the variable is depicted by color shading or contour lines, with diagonal streaks indicating the movement of features like Rossby waves or Madden-Julian Oscillation pulses.
