How do meandering of the winds aloft relate to midlatitude cyclones?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: With large departures from west-east flow the winds aloft are meridional. This makes for strong divergence aloft which forces the formation of low pressure below because of the forced rise of air up to the divergence.
