Discussion
Which large-scale setting typically supplies the shear for severe storms?
Answer: C
Severe storm outbreaks occur where a jet streak and its associated baroclinic zone overlie a warm moist boundary layer, supplying shear from the thermal wind and instability from the surface conditions. Anticyclones and barotropic regions supply no shear by definition. The pairing of large-scale dynamics with local thermodynamics is what makes severe weather forecasting a synthesis rather than a single calculation. The shared properties explain why these belong to one family, and the differences explain why more than one exists.
