Which profile of omega corresponds to this divergence structure?

  • A.A single maximum of ascent near the middle troposphere
  • B.Ascent at the surface decreasing steadily with height until it vanishes at the level of the tropopause
  • C.Uniform ascent
  • D.Two separate maxima of ascent, one in the lower troposphere and one just beneath the tropopause above

Answer: A

Integrating convergence upward gives ascent that increases with height until the level of non-divergence, then decreases as divergence takes over, giving a single maximum near the middle. The vertical velocity must vanish at both the ground and the top. A double maximum can occur in systems with two distinct forcing layers but is not the typical structure of a simple developing cyclone.
