Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009820
A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of minimum atmospheric pressure within a trough. This line represents the axis of the elongated low-pressure area and is a focal point for convergence and upward motion in the atmosphere. It often delineates a boundary between air masses with differing characteristics.
