Upper-level chart

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009913

A meteorological map that displays atmospheric conditions at a specific pressure level above the Earth's surface. These charts typically show geopotential height contours, temperature, wind speed and direction, and sometimes humidity. Common upper-level charts include the 850 hPa, 700 hPa, 500 hPa, 300 hPa, and 200 hPa levels, providing insights into atmospheric dynamics and weather system evolution.
