Baroclinic Wave
Baroclinic Wave : In Meteorology.waves of the state in which surfaces of constant pressure and others of constant density are not parallel but intersect; any migratory cyclone more or less associated with strong baraclinity of the atmosphere, evidenced on synoptic charts by temperature gradients in the constant-pressure surfaces, vertical wind shear, tilt of pressure troughs with height, and concentration of solenoids in the frontal surface near the ground. Baroclinic disturbances play an important role in atmospheric energy conversion from potential energy to kinetic energy
